would like to meet some young girls
Could you advise us how to get lntro-

(2) Is it all right to recognize

introduced to in dance hall?
TWO STRANGERS.
ID Ask some of the men where
you work to introduce you to girls.
Another way is to go to church ana
church socials and ask the minister 10
make you acquainted. You can extend
your acquaintance among good girls
at respectable dances.
(2) The girl should speak to you
first, but you should show by your
expression that you remember her.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am young
married woman, q years old, and have
little baby girl two years old. My
husband is very good to me, now that
we are away from his people. l have
lived in the house with his mother
twice and have been very unhap-

moved. Now they are trying to get us
to move back there again. They say
we can't save anything while living

Since you are happier alone you
ought not to return. Money is not

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am young
man % years old and have never had
lady friend, for the reason that l
stammer. am sure that girl doesn't
want to listen to a fellow trying to
talk when he can't. I have in times
past tried to get acquainted with some
girls whom / though were very nice
young ladies' But after I had gone in
their company few times they SEEM
ed not a care about my feelings and
some have actually laughed at me,
which made me feel very bad. l was
invited to a sleighing party last win
ter and l refused to go because l
thought l was only invited to be made
an object of amusement or a laughing
stock. Since then l. have never gone
where there were any young people,
and only few times to church. l live
a most secluded life and feel that l
will never amount to very much be-
cause of my impeachment. Will you
kindly tell me how l can overcome my
affliction in some other way than go
ing to an institution, as l can't af-
ford that. SINCERELY.
1t will be hard to overcome the i'm
pediment in your speech while you are
so sensitive. Although young people
are cruel at times, they are not as bad
as you believe them to be. Because
some girls were rude enough to laugh
at you is no sign all girls would be.
l don't think you were invited to the
sleighing party to be laughing stock
Pleasure at the expense of another is
| painful and not to be INDUCED in on
so festive an occasion.
Go out among young people and rea-
lie that they are selfishly interested
in themselves and do not lay much i'm
portance to your stammering. Instead
of calling on girls, take them some
where. At the theatre or picture
show ii would not be necessary for you
to talk. The sooner you get over the
idea that you are doomed to be a fail
ure because of your impedient the bet
| ter for you, because while you thinl
that you cannot gain much self-assur.

you need.

Again it is Yuletide. and straight
spire of smoke stands squarely over
Deacon HamiltOn's chimney, as though
balanced by an unseen magician. There
is a tinkle of sleighbells, and up to the
hitch rack drives Brother Burrows, and.
with his heavy mittens clamped under
his arm, makes fast the lead strap. Out
he helps Sister Burrows and ploughs
ahead breaking a path for her to the
door. After them comes Kendall Ban
ming. a thin shawl over his shoulders
and a warm smile on his face. The
door opens with a bright glimpse of the
stove being freshly fed and closes again.
One by one they gather at Deacon
Hamilton's, the door opening to merry
shouts of laughter and to the far pene-
trating odor of popcorn struggling to
free itself from the back depths of a
pot When all have gathered deep into
the woods they go. and then all hands
,ut and choppers to the front!
