hearts that were hard and cold, all
might be we'll. The trouble is wo-

touched and Impressed by the man
who makes it pleasant for her. With
women, it Is but a short step from
friendship to love. r.
So many young girls write in this
strain: "A young man has been call
ing to see me for many months. Dur
ing this time, I learned to care for
him, although he had spoken no word
of love. Suddenly he stopped coming
to see me, and is going with another.

about it? ~
That's It. What can these girls do
about it'll It seems impossible for
some girls to be thrown in contact
with attractive, manageable young
men without becoming the victim Of
misplaced confidence. How strange it
is that men do not think of this. Ac-
tually they court when they have no
thought of marrying. The seriousness
of the affair does not seem to occur to
these young men.
In such a case, a young man once
said to me: Why do girls give their
hearts unasked? I have been calling
on a certain girl simply because she
made it pleasant for me evenings

those who interest us and whom we
are also interested in? No man feels

HIS AGE JUMPS FROM 25 TO so.

accountable for the true telling of his
age as much so as the fair sex may?
I have fine looking, sweet DISPOSE

her and her riches. She is an orphan,
likes company. One self-made man
who outrivalled the other suitors was
young-old looking and we'll off: First
he said in an amusing way that he
was called 25s I got back at him, say
ing, You could not have made good
them So he said, I believe I am ten
years older That was IS. Finally he
admitted solemnly to so years. Why
does he so falsify? Had the girl bet
ter not trust, him for husband?"
He must be singular man. Or per-
|haps he tried to- set his age back to
win the girl for his wife. Nothing is
gained by misrepresenting such folly.
