sake. anyway.
He has a disasrcesble past, but
since nave known him he has led
q different life and has always been
more sentiemanly that other men
have gone with In higher circles
Of society. I love him more than
any one else In the world. yet some
thina I cannot explain or under
stand keeps me from eonsentlno TO
marry him. Sometimes I think u
10 only because ! am afraid. So
many Of my married friends have
pictured married life 70 me a. far
from pleasant Do you think DO
not love him, or arm ! guided too
much by the opinions Of otners, both

him entirely happy. with a feeling
OF security IN that happiness. II
would be a mistake TO marry him
at all.

ment. Moles are freak deposits OF
coloring matter in the deeper por.
lions OF the subcuticle. They can
be removed by caustics. electricity
or the surgeons knife. Moles are
often deep-rooted. and II is unwise
for the unlnstructed TO experiment
upon them.
A simple lotion which may be
safely applied twice day consists
OF 30 grains OF salicyllc acid and
two ounces OF bay rum. II takes
several days TO affect the mole. and
a week or two to remove IT,

A.-Famlliarlty Of this sort, even
tho It is In the spirit OF fun. Is
altogether uncalled for. You are
not absolutely frank with your hus-
band. II some OF your actions dis
pleased him. would you want him
TO remain silent for fear OF offend
ing you, or would you value his
opinion. or consider II. at least?
BY your silence you sanction your
husbands actions. You do not
necessarily have TO demonstrate
with him; but you can tell him In
nice way that you don't think
such conduct altogether becoming.
and that you don't approve OF II.
II he then becomes angry. and nc
cuses you Of being jealous, you
might ask him II he would sanction
II should you permit the single
young men OF your acquaintance TO
take such liberties with you?

Alt depends on what you mean
by military skin. II you mean
thereby leadership. I should be
strongly inclined TO agree with you.
Presumably. the Austrian is as
brave in the mass as the German.
but Austria does not seem to pos.
sess as good generals.
