Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
going with a fellow steadily for three
months. He told me many times that
he loved me, and / loved him dearly.
Sometimes on Sunday he took me to
his home and we spent the evening
with his parents. His mother was aw-
fully nice to me. She invited me to
come again.
He asked me to marry him a2d
set for our wedding and L have
bought all my linen and silverware.
and everything 1 need. He knows
all about the things 1 have bought.
For two weeks now he has not come
to see me and I don't know what to
think or what to do. Shall 1 write
and ask him the reason why he does
not come? He lives in the country
about six or seven miles from. here
of us said a cross word to hurt the
others feelings.
] have a chance to go with another
fellow from a different town. 1 was
introduced to him not very long ago.
Shall I try my chance or shall 1 find
out the reason about the other fellow :?
WORRIED GIRL.
Find out why your fiance does not
come to see you. Write a pleasant
| note asking why you have not seen
him in two weeks time. He may. be
for staying away If he is trying to
break the engagement by dropping you
be thankful that you have learned his
character before it was too late. A
man who drops the girl he is engaged
! to without an explanation is dishonor-
able and cruel. I hardly think he is
staying away Intentionally.

Woman's Growing Charm.-1..,
A young girl asks me what quality
men admire above all others In wo-
men.
just as strength is the quality that
appeals most to, women in men, so
gentleness is the quality that appeals
most to men in women.
Men are enthralled by beauty. They
are charmed by intelligence. They
are fascinated by wit and gaiety. But
the thing that they admire most in
women, and that holds them after
| beauty has fled. after laughter is
hushed and they have grown. weary
of talk. no matter how brilliant it has
been. is Just plain old fashioned gen.
tleness. Just tenderness and sweet
unselfishness-just womanliness.
| This is the quality that man re-
members in the mother he idolixed.
This is what he wants in the woman
| he Tnarries. This is what he dreams
of coming home to after the long, hard
days struggle with the world is over.
and if he finds it waiting fer him on
the hearthstone, marriage is a sue
cess for him, no matter what else is
| lacking. And IL he fails to find g.
marriage is a failure to him no matter
what else he has.
1t is because gentleness is the most
appealing quality of woman to man
| that world worn rogues marry demure
| little country maidens young enough
to be their daughters, and why learned
| college professors wed silly little geese
| who can't spell a, b, alb. and artists
select as wives homely ladies who have
| Mona Lisa smiles. 1t is why a low,
soft voice. and meek gray eyes, and a
shy manner will do more to get a wo-
man q good husband than all the
beauty and intelligence in the uni
| verse.
| Not only in matrimony is gentleness
| a woman's one best bet, but 1t is equal
ly efficacious in business. If you will
| look around you. daughter, you will
| observe that the women who have ar
rived and who are roosting on the top
| rung of the ladder of success are most
ly feminine little things. with a sweet
| and winning way with them, who look
as il they had just strayed out of their
own parlors and gotten by mistake into
| a counting room. or the head buyers
| office OF a big store.
+ 1 have known thousands of success
sful7 women--women who havs. done ali
sorts of wonderful; things. and, filled
| all sorts of high positions. and made
! big money-but at this moment l cam
not recall q single successful woman
Nho was aggressive, bumPtious and
loud voiced. or rude and rough man
4 ncfed. No, the successful women, so
| far as my observation goes, have all
soft-pedaled their way to their goal
Nor need one go far to seek the rea-
son for this. When a woman fights
with man for the things she wants
she is outelaseed. He is bigger.
stronger and has had more experience
in smuggling his opponents than she
has, and the result is that she is
| knocked out of the ring in the first
round. No woman ever yet got any
| thing from n man by force. What
she gets she obtains by asking for It
| prettily. And this goes double-in bust :
ness as well as in domestic life. {

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds Of men in
Americas Fighting Service

A ploddins figure, stumbling under
the weight of a wounded comrade.
Shells that burst nearby, scattering
their fragments in laundering radii of
death. The whine Of machine gun
bullets over the projectile-torn earth.
where men cried for aid-and where
the piodding figure responded again
and again. Such is the story of the
heroism of Corp. Arthur c. Small of
the United States marines near Very,
France, during the great counter at
tack of the allies, July 10.
Nor was this the only valorous thing
that the marine did at Vierzy. Time
after time, that the marines might
benefit by the closest liaison. there was
a call for a volunteer to dodge thru
the death-laden barrages with mes
sages that meant the very existence of
attachments. And time after time
Corporal Small volunteered. So
marked was his bravery that the COM
handing officer of the regiment has
recommended him for the distin-
guished service cross. Corporal Small
is son of William Y. Small of Har-
risburg, Ill.

The authorities of the Australian
wheat board have stated that the
amount of wheat in the common
wealth still actually unsofd will run
into hundreds of millions of bushels,
and it is probable that If a sale is eff
fected to Great Britain the price will
be lower than the former price of
$1.16 per bushel f. o. b. The wheat
sold to the British government at this
price comprises part of the crop OF
1876 and part of that of 1861.
The contract was for 100000 tons of
wheat, and to make up this quantity
the remainder of the 1915-16 and a
portion of the 1862 crops were
used; but a large portion of the wheat
thus sold must still be delivered to
the imperial government There re-
mains on hand, therefore, the remain
der of the 1851 crop, the whole OF
the 1917-18 crop, and the prospective
191S-19 harvest. The guaranty given
for the 191S-19 crop is s0973 per
bushel t. o. b., and there is a guaranty
for the 1890 crop of $1o5.
