HELP FOR RUSSIA

The statement issued by the new government, telling the Russian people frankly that the departed autocracy left the nation in almost ruinous state disorganization and that the military situation is grave will deeply concern the American people.
 No nation in the world has more of American good will than the New Rissia has Any disaster to the new government would greve America almost much as a disaster to government and any chance to help the Russian people will be gladly received as would national blessing
 We do know what representations have been made by Russia to the government at Washington what form American help should take, do know by natural inference that representations have will be made but it is certain that the people the United States will support the government in any plan to help the Russian people out of the plight into which incompetent autocracy let them fall

Dear Miss Grey: / have
been engaged to a man for
two years. He belongs to
good family and has a good
position, but it's absolutely
impossible to please him. I
never wear the right dress.
never do my hair to please
him, | never cultivate the
right people, etc. This never
bothered me so much until

now l wonder II l will sue
coed any better in pleasing
him after marriage. What do
you think? EDNA.
Aft you cannot please him
before marriage, Ii Is patent you
will be no more successful after
wards. There are persons whose
greatest pleasure seems to be
faultfinding. Possibly your fiance
belongs to this class. BE honest
with him. Tell him how distaste-
full this Is to you, and that unless
engagement. Never risk marriage
with man who is never pleased
with what is done for him.

ELIZABETH.
Ale has asked you to marry
him, not his family. That he,
with his advantages and Opportu-
mites has fallen in love with you
indicates that he holds character
above wealth or education. For
character is not dependent upon
these attributes. The lack Of So
cial training, which seems to you
so important can be bridged by
kindness and courtesy. His peO-
pie will welcome you for his sake.
Don't lose your head. Act natural
and you can accomplish this.
Dear Miss Grey: pro-
posed to girl last night and
she did not give her answer
and said she could not for
the present. Now don't you
think she should answer at
once, because there is anoth-
er girl / will ask IL she
doesn't accept? G. 8.
Aft you do not care enough
about the first girl to wait until
she can give you her answer, pro-
vided IL Is a reasonable length of
time, you don't care enough about
her to marry her. Certainly any
girl Is privileged to consider well
the most serious step in her life.
