HE WOULD BE
 A FRIEND

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am deeply interested in a young man who evidences he cares for me.
 He treats me fine. when we meet, see ing me home I am now visiting q
 friend and hear from him quite often. If I fail to write, he writes again to
 find out what is the reason This IS what I think is so strange about him when I am home he calls on me very, very seldom. Now do you really think he loves me?
 RH.
 Never take it for granted man cares for you until he has told you so in plai1l,y unmistakable words! fol- lowing up such declaration by asking you to be his wife. Many young man delights to get letters from girl,
 thoughtlessly showing them to show
 he is popular. Girls at home would not write letters to him. By showing no inclination to call, he tacitly wishes tt understood his interest in you is of friendly character only.

WOMAN DROPS DEAD IN STREET
 GAR; MONEY AND JEWELS WORTH
 $67,OOO ARE FOUND IN CLOTHES

tique gold lorgnette, and a, gold-rim- ! med monocle.
 There were many other lesser ar ticles of jewelry.
 Then the matron brought to Sergt. Cogan small leather bound prayer book Some of the antique jewelry bore a, crest, but the jewe1ry was so worn that the crest was indecipher- able. There was also found a. pass on the Chesapeake Beach railroad, made out in the name of Mrs. Wat son and signed ~t'W. I. Jones, sPresi- dent.''
 Sight of Body Unnerves Husband
 The police were still >puzzling over the case when, about 6 o'clock, Con gressnnans Watson entered the station. He asked Sergt. yCogan if he had heard of aL'wonan being taken i'll on a. stret car during the~afternoon.s Mrs. F'axon was yv1thshiIn.
 Sergt- Cogan took the Congressman aside. spoke to him a few minutes, then led him to the garage, where Mrs. Watson's body had been sr1aced. At sight of his vyife's body the Con gressman became for a. short time dis traught, butvhe frightened his nerves and made a statement to the news paper men.
 E"The fact athat kny wife carried so much money andx jewels on sher per son was unknown4to mess' 9heasaid. 'I knew she would never s1eave home without at least $1,o0o, whereas I never Acarrysnoney. using checks most of the time.

Many of them are heir1ooms. the remainder are gifts from me-"
 4Congresnan Watson, who is Presi- dent of the Washington Potomac and Chesapeake Railroad, 1oked at the big sum of money and the jewels heaped in-the station house desk and said:
 "It is rather g. peculiar situation. know my wife had considerable money with her and. was waiting for her, and now I really find myself with only some small change in my pocket. If might cash a, check near by-''
 sergt Cogan quickly produced a. $1O note and pressed the loan upon the afflicted Congressman till he
 might get back to his hotel. Coroner Healy was notified by teIe- phone of the circumstances and i'm mediate1y consented to the removal of Mrs. Watson's body to the under taking rooms of Charles PIowFight, No. IA Lexington avenue. Congressman Watson arranged last night, with the consent of the author ities, to have his wife's body taken in q motor hearse to-day to her family home in Wilmington, Del, where flu neral services will be held.

TODAY'S POEM

Three words fall sweet1y on my soul, 2 As music from an angels Tyre. That bid my spirit spuEn4 control. And upward to its source aspire; The sweetest sounds to mortals given Are heard in Mother. Home and
 Heaven. Dear Mother.-ne'e shall I forget Thy brow. thine eye, thy. pleasant smile;
 Though in the sea of death hath set Thy star of life, my guide awhile. Oh, never shall thy form depart From the bright pictures in my heart. And like a bird that from. the flowers Wing weary seeks her wonted nest, My spirit e'er in Manhood hours.
 Turns back in chi1dhood's home to
 rest;
 The cottage, garden, hill and stream, Still finger like a pleasant dream. ! And while to one sengulf1ng grave
 By Times swift tide we're driven, How sweet the thought that every
 wave
 But bears us nesrer 5heayent There we shall meet. when life is OCT. Tn that 5blest. home to part no more. William Goldsmith Brown C1812-

PLAYING FAST AND
 LOOSE WITH LOVE

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 am a girl of 19. Was keeping com pany with a. young man of 2O He of ten took me to church, shows, etc: We were not exactly engaged, but both expected to marry. One afternoon we had a. quarrel. He wrote me several times anxious to make up, but I wouldn t.. I wanted to teach him a commenced, going with another girl I then wrote saying I would forgive him, asking him to come back, but he would not, nor will he answer. I am an orphan. He is the only one I can care for. Do please advise me what to do.
 MISS R. M.
 The girl who attempts to play fast and loose with the love of an honest young mans affections, generally finds her lover will not. endure such treat ment no matter how much he may have thought of the girl. They make 9 mistake who imagine love once kin dled can last forever. Nothing is more fragile than love- It is easily famed into a flame and quite as easily ext1n- guished. You can do nothing but let matters take their course. His new love may be as foolish as you were quarrel with him, losing him in the return to you. Old memories are sweet but the average man searches patient ly until he finds the right one though he passes by score of maidens on loves highway. Many a girl loses a

HOW LITTLE GIRLS KNOW OF
 LIFE OR LOVE

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 am fascinated with a young man. Sometimes he acts as if he was in love with me, at other times he treats me coldly. On several occasions, he has escorted me to the buggy I came in. Does that show he is in love? If he is not caring for me how can I win him?
 fC. M infer the young man is connected in some way with the store at which you do your shopping. If he sees the dawn. of love in your glance or inn agines from your acts or words that you are becoming duly interested in him, his coIdness toward you is the warning signal he hoists. reminding you it is the man who should make all the advances in lovemaking, not the girl. If there's one girl in the world more than another whom a. man admires it's. the girl he thinks he can not win.
