TAKEN HER TO
 MANY SHOWS

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 have been going with a young man nearly two months He has taken me to a show or some entertainment from two to four times a week. During that time he has never said a word of love to me or kissed me or showed by his actions that he cared for me very much. Do you think his intention se- rious? My folks like him. Say it would be a good match There is an other fellow would rather go with, but don't want to throw this one over if he is serious. Please reply.
 L.R He seems to have been most atten- tive and seriously inclined to you in going to the expense and giving much of his time to taking you to places of pleasure. Any other girl would hardly have doubted that he cared for her. Actions speak louder than words. Next young man may be indifferent. This one seems the better.

Many young women who build air castles of what they would consider a happy married life for a woman do not exactly know what they should have in a heart mate or understand fully what varied experiences loving household unfolds.
 If they marry young they do not stop to consider the serious step There are those who marry because they. want good home provided for them, a nice rig to drive about, maid to do the housework, in short, 8 lazy life for theirs. Every man should be certain that the woman he leads to the altar loves him for himself alone, even if health or the little bank savings should take wings
 they welcome the coming of number of children. Deplorable this may ap- pear to be to rich outsiders who have plenty of this worlds goods and few if any little ones. But the day comes when the miserable, overtaxed family sees sunshine and a bountiful reward from the number of brothers and sis ters who have come to the front and tare comfortable supporters in the homes where once the wolf could hard 1y be kept from the door.
 | Parents realize that the best part of their chfldrens lives is yet to come. As they see them enter into young
 manhood and womanhood. they proud ly own that they are possessed of I great energy and youthful strength i and from this time on they well know I that each will be apt to make the best iof his life for the sake of mother and 1 father and their fearful struggle I against poverty in the past.
 ] Nothing can spur on children to be- come great helpers like those thoughts lof dismal days when they hungered I pftifully and were lily clad in a poor 71s3u nj II 0-df outside relatives who would willingly ilend them a helping hand This is the 1 foundation of their ambition-the rise of their future successes.
 It is when they drift apart, go alone into the lpitiIess world, or marry and get together homes of their own, tha1 the tie Of the large family of growT lchildren proves strongest. There are lalways some who are unfortunate ir making their way. Failures and friends q who have turned from them in adver sitys have made them discouraged ana scarce able to hold their heads up
 Then come the uplifting brothers ana i sisters, their hearts filled with pity
 their hands and purses outheld, deter mined to give them a footing to get UT
 and start anew.
 Many of the saddest discouragemen
 which Human beings have to face art lsteps from which they cannot recovei
 themselves. They Croan out that tht
 one wish of their lives would have beer to have had4 brothers and sisters whs
 would have conforted them. when pit falls and troubles were theirs. Instead of looking back over the years of hard Iships, that large families may hay,
 brought one and all should realize tha ithe future of each child may bring flowing reward, proving an ideal hell
 when the shadows are outlived by sun ishine.

There were also several prdsa- ineTt suffrage workers from New Ea~ ven county, who came chiefly for in struction and inspiration as regards county work.

THE PEOPLES SONG or PEACE

THE PEOPLES SONG OF PEACE The grass is green on Bunker Hil1,
 The waters sweet on BrandyWiue; The sword sleeps in the scabbard still, The farmer keeps his hock and vine Then who would mar the scene today With vapRf8e4 hat tIe9 9ieid 9@U eEasz2 The brave corn lifts in regiments Ten thousand sabers in the suns The ricks replace the battIe tents. The neighboring steed. the bus1ss These be but stories of ths past. The earth has healed her wounded
 breast,
 The cannons blow the field no r1ors; The heroes rest! Oh, let them rest
 In peace along the peaceful shersi They fought for peace. for peace they
 fell;
 They sleep in peace and all is well. The fields forget the battles fought
 The trenches wave in golden sreias Shall we neglect the lessons taught
 And tear the wounds agape again Sweet Mother Nature. nurse the land And heal her wounds with gentle
 hand.
 Lo! peace on earth! Los flock and To rich abundance, fat increase And valleys clad. in sheen Of gold o rise and sing a song of peace For Theseus roams the land no more, And Janus rests with rusted door

Dear Miss Ltbbev-

Dear Miss Ltbbey:
 I am a married woman of 2s. Am very jealous of my husband. What can I do to overcome this sadness? Sometimes I get terribly sick at heart. try my best not 0 feel like that, but I can't help it. Many times I wished I never married. You may advise to see a doctor about it. I am sure no physician could help me. Please ad- wise what can do.
 BEATRICE. Refuse to allow your mind to dwell on anything which will cause your Jealous disturbance Often there is no reason for such heart torture. Build up love in thoughts and deeds so strong and faithful that you will re- fuse to let a shadow dim your sun shine and affection. Keep love and belief in your heart. Allow nothing to disturb trust and happiness.

 I am g. reader that takes great inter est in your letters. I come to you for advice. I have been going with a girl three years. We became engaged about a year ago. We have no time set for our marriage. I must go to college four years. We have made solemn promises to each other that we vii be true. I know I will and believe she will. Would you advise me to marry her now, or wait till I go to college and marry her before I finish or wait till colelge is finished? Is there any danger of a dispute between us, should we wait so long? Her age is 24, mine 30, She's all the world to me and don't expect to find another one like her. Your advice will DC much appreciated.

STYLE Of SHIPS

Congress is Expected to be 0i-

or Submarines.

WASHINGTON. oct 22.-The line
up in the national defense fight sched-
uled for the approaching session OF
congress will be:
"Battleships and battle cruisers
VS. submarines and auxilliary %es-

1t already has become apparent
that the main differences in the ma
tional defense campaign will not con-
Germ the amount OF money TO be
spent-but how IL should be spent
The big ship fractions are organizing
their forces In support of these great
lighting forces of the seas. The So
called small navy" men. particularly
in the house Of representatives. are
planning 10 renew their campaign for
a cessation Of battleship building and
will come out as stanch advocates Of
the submarine, the scout cruiser ana
torpedo boat destroyers.
The navy is top-heavy with battle
ships; we need more auxiliary yes

who for the past few years have
fought to the last appropriation for
more than a single dreadnaught a
year.

the democrats next session, is one Of
the strongest men in the house yet

He is a believer in submarine and

$4,000 the cost of a battleship this

mas too the house that the navy has
too many battleships and not enough
smaller boats. In addition, ne argues,
rattleships become obsolete almost by
the time they are constructed.
During the past two sessions Of
congress there were numerous legis-
Iative scraps between Witherspoon,
the spokesman for the -battleship
and e-battleship forces, and Hob
son OF Alabama, who wanted any
where from four to six dreadnaughts.
Neither won, for the house generally
compromised on two battleships per
year.
