Frinstance:
Maine HAS always served as kind of
barometer with its state election, which
is always the first state election held in
presidential years.
But neither Democratic leaders nor
Democratic newspapers will dwell very
long upon the principal fact disclosed by
the vote in this state this year. which
fact is that IN MAINE the Progressives
have returned and voted with the Repub-
licans.
Neither Republican leaders nor Repub

guitar under her window, the millionaire
gives her diamonds, and the clerk buys

promises and threats, by honesty and
lying, by posing, primping, twittering.
twisting, strutting, covering, to hand
over her heart
tn this game, girls, it is well to remem-
Der that you are TT.
No leap year custom can reverse the
process. Man is the pursuer; you are
the pursued.
Even when you catch the man you
want, as Bernard Shaw thinks you al
ways do, you have to make him think
he captures you.
The whole world is organized to pro-
mote this game. Clothes are nothing
but flags whereby we wig-wag, each to
the opposite sex, occult messages bearing
upon the game.
All novels and dramas are nothing
without two fond hearts fusing (com-
edy) or breaking tragedy in the last
chapter or the fourth act
Restaurants are cunningly devised to
facilitate girl capture.
Summer resorts are love traps. Every
one Of them has its fatal lovers lane
Every green tree and shady dell is in
the conspiracy. And the moon is the
most confirmed of all match makers.
Now in this game. girls, you need to
have your wits about you. 1t is not a
fair game. The chances are against you.
II there is blunder you pay. not he.
And success in the game is usually n
life or death matter with you; with him
it is more or less a side issue You

he loses it is not much matter; but you
need TO know always precisely what you

he is roped and tied at the altar. And
not always then
He may accuse you Of being cold. All
lovers lay that charge at their lady's
door But they like it, Don't forget
that, whatever they say
In this game YOU need friend The

are wise and good when it comes to their
daughter Think long while before
you conclude that your mother is an ex-
