Dear Mrs. Thompson: ] am a girl
Il years old and am in love with a
young man several years older than
myself. For over year we have been
the best of friends. He has told me
That he never had girl friend who
meant so much to him. At first when
| knew him he was having a great deal
of financial trouble. His mother and
an invalid sister with baby are de-
pendent on him. Conditions got so bad
where he worked that he could hard
ly stay there and at the same time his
sister had an expensive operation. He
has told me since that he could not
have gotten through that time if it had
not been for our wonderful friendship
and the encouragement | gave him.
All that time | thought scarcely
aything except what would make
things easier for him and relieve the
strain he was under. | planned walks
and picnics and had him over to sup
per when we were going to have some
thing ] knew he liked
Then he got another job with more
money and all his troubles cleared
up. FOT d time we were tIe SAINT ON
friends and then we began to have
silly little quarrels. | am the only
girl he sees much of, but | feel that
he is not satisfied with me and wishes
he knew some one else he could like
real well. This makes me very un
happy and | do not know what | shall
do if / lose his friendship. When l
am with him | am nervous and touchy
and l say things to hurt his feelings
although l really do not want to. What
can do to make him like me the way
he used to? He comes to see me two
or three times a week, but we do not
have a good time anymore and | think
if he finds another girl he likes better
he will stop coming. What can | do?
UNHAPPY.
You have not lost the man yet and
with a little care your friendship can
mean as much to you as it ever did
You would not be nervous and touchy
if you were feeling well and rested.
For week do not let him come to
see you at all. Get out in the fresh
air as much as you can and go to bed
early nights. At the end of a week
| am sure you will notice a change
and find that you and he get along
better than you have for sometime.
Unless you are properly rested you

LEMON HINTS,

The rind is extremely valuable.
Save all rinds, for stained dish towels
or white articles that have become
dingy; drop several pieces in; when
boiled or scalded you will find they
are finely bleached.
In making hot or cold lemonade
use the skins, washed very clean, cut
in long pieces; the oil favors the
beverage more agreeably than the
juice alone.
Lemons keep indefinitely in a jug
of cold water; change water once Il
day.
Never allow seeds to get into any
thing that is to be cooked with lem
on; they make food bitter.
A quarter of teaspoon of lemon
juice will make ordinary cream whip
beautifully.

Tat kind says Mr. Matthews, will

officer will not be humane"
Police chiefs are so commonly
thought to be gruff, uncultured per-
sons with coarse red necks that it is
pleasant to find one Of this sensitive
temper In considering the spooning
matter Mr.. Matthews was no doubt
moved to look back through the
vista of receding years and call to
mind the golden days when Mrs.
Matthews was but a slender girl and
when he had all his hair. The poetic
sentiments are so often neglected or
Iobscured in the haste and humdrum

any rate the park policemen gener-

average cop is as unromantic as he is
horny listed. He is not reticent
about surprising two lovers in a
situation. If he could be made to
see the indelicacy of this. how many

might wear cow-bell to proclaim
his approach, as shown in the pic
