 GIRL HOME

 Was there ever lover who did not. at one time or another, face the self imposed duty of seeing another girl home who had been calling on his dancee? This courtesy of itself would not be worthy of comment or atten- ton, but when the same girl falls into the habit of coming three evenings or more a. week-expecting her friends lover to continue eScorting her home the mater calls for serious sconsidera- tion-
 The friendship between the two girls may be strong, but there's a limit to chum love. Often wise lovers resort to the time-worn, tried and true rem edy Of inviting 8 nice young man friend to call and upon his shoulders is shifted the responsibility of seeing the unwanted girl visitor home. This solution of the difficulty does not last for long. The friendly young man who has helped out"f rarely relishes being called upon a. second time to see a young girl in whom he has no inter est whatever a long, dreary distance to her home, to oblige friend.
 When a girl friend persists in in truding upon special courting even ings, it should be int1mated to her in as deleeate a maner as possible that the girl whom she comes to visit will be at home to her friends only on such and such evenings If she is left to find her way home alone the way she came and if sI@ values the friendship so highly that she must see her friend three or four times a week, and means well, having no thought of cutting her chum out with her lover by way of his eseorting her home so often. she will pay her call in the afternoon.
 The .fiancaa% who sees her lover con stantly bringing her friend home may haev no tinge of jealousy her heart, trusting both explicitly, still she se- -cretly resents such a proceeding. If there is ever a break in their romance, to her dismay it is always the other girl he turns to for sympathy. She learns then the value her friend places on her affectionsEwhen she sees her encouraging her lover, willing to break with her for all time, if need be-
 Should she attempt to call on her one-time friend on the evening she was expecting a call from the man she had won from her, she would be treated with scant courtesy or per haps asked out and out to time her visit to a more conyenfent evening. Where one girl shows deliberately her object in calling on her friend who has a lover-the desire to be in his company friendship, So called, is not worth having. Innocent girls who are the victims of such a chum's wiles learn sooner or later to fence with them in loves game.
 A true friend will do everything in her power to have her ehurn's affair run smoothly Under no circum mstances would she do So unnnaidea1y a thing as attempt to undermine her in her lovers directions The choice of girl associates is every whit as important as the choice of desirable young men to whom invitations to call are, ex- tended It is by no means true that "au is fair in love and war; It is never fair dealing for one young wo- man to covet her friends beau and deliberately make plans to steal him from her, covering her actions with the guise of friendship.
