The little lady who makes high

BESS.
A.-White corduroy washes

white soap. II the band contains
stiffening, IL should be removed
and sewed back again after the
cap is thoroughly dry.
al have been keeping
company with man for
eight months and although
he knows l am a real, good,
clean, honest girl, he is al
ways trying to persuade me
to do wrong.
What do you think of him?
i love him SO much that l
keep forgiving him. My
people tell me to give him
up, saying that one day l
may fall a victim to his per-
suasion; but thought all
along he would come to his
senses and be worthy of my
trust in him. However, am
beginning to be afraid he
will go on abusing my trust.
l suppose it's the only way
QUITO give him up isn't itg
Please tell me just what you
think. My age Is %. T.
A.-Many would be quick to
condemn you for holding on to a
man with such q character; but
they are the ones who never
passed through such an expert
ence-who were ne YER command
ed by honor to give up q weaker
brother who had become very
dear to them. But even such a
sacrifice should not come be-
tween you and your duty. Your
parents are right in their con-
illusions. When a good and a bad
person associate, either the bad
one grows better, or the good one
worse. You have given this man
ample time to conform to your
ideals, which are higher than his.
He deliberately turned his back
upon honor and attempted to
drag you down to his level. He
has betrayed your trust and Is
not worthy to associate with you.
Most certainly the only HONOR
ABLE way out is to give him up.

suffer great depreciation. On the con.

Of depression in business l am selling
homes to men whom have known for
q number of years, and who are not
making as much money as they were
two or three years ago. These men
are not investing in homes money
which was saved by them when times
were better. but are making small
cash payments. and seem willing to
assume the obligation of large month
ly payments, which. in most instances
will induce the owner to sell.
