Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am en-
gagged to girl who has asked to keep
1t secret until | can marry her. be-
cause her parents are unreasonable
about her considering marriage, as
they want her to themselves. l have
given her a ring which she wears
when we are alone together, but at
other times she conceals 1t.
She Is very pretty girl and has
always had several admirers. It Is
the same now, and sometimes think
can't stand to see her SO friendly
with other fellows. She corresponds
with a soldier whom she used to
know and write to before we were en-
gagged. 1t is impossible for me to be
In active service on account Of my
heart and I am jealous of all soldiers
Do you think she ought to cores
pond with the soldier when she knows
how l object? BILL.
No one can be engaged and not
engaged at the same time and act con-
sistently. AS no one but yourself
knows Of the engagement 1t is impos-
sible for your fiance to act to others
as though engaged to you. There is
considerable excuse for her II she feels
II necessary to continue the friend

ships she had previous to her engage
ment to you. Either insist upon an
nouncing your engagement or be toll
Grant Of her interest in other young
men. There is no place for jealousy
when you cannot offer an open prom
ise to her.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: In the store
where l work there is certain bache-
lor who is joke with all the girls and
because I have been kind to him he
has taken a great fancy to me. Now
the girls and men are teasing me about
him and 1t is very plain that they have
reason to, because of the funny way
he has been acting lately He seems
to be having his first case Of puppy
love.
What can l do to make him see
there can be nothing between us and
at the same time not hurt his feel
ings? KITTY.
When the girls tease you, let them
tease, and II they see you are not
annoyed they will have no fun and
will soon stop. Be courteous to MIN
but do not encourage any advances
on his part, such as permitting MIN
to call or accepting candy or any
other gifts he might offer.

the wood made the ascent from the
south. The hill was carried by 11:45
o'clock
At l o'clock in the afternoon the
American advance from the southern
side began. In consequence of this
the enemy was forced at once to fail
back from the center OF the Argonne
The American troops which had been
held there by the enemy passed La
Viergette and joined hands with the
left of the division which had stormed
Chatel Chehery where by $3.50 o'clock
the Americans had consolidated their
new positions.
The most interesting event of the
day was the liberation of a battalion
which had been entirely isolated aud
surrounded by the enemy in the Ar
gonne forest for five days. The plight
of these troops had been known AMI
several attempts had been made by
French and American troops to relieve
them, but without success.
By Monday evening at $40 o'clock
the American gains on the eastern
edge of the forest had made possible
an advance in the center. The troops
here moved forward and broke the
circle which the Germans had drawn
around the battalion, restoring it after
its splendid and dogged resistance, to
ith division which had begun to re-
gard it as lost.

They even knit in church, folks say.
And the needles fly while the parsons

For the knitting must never stop.
Some knit for the soldier boys unknown
In the trenches over the seas;
For they have no heroes of their own.
No lovers i'll the shell-bound zone
And the saddest of all are these.

For lover, and son, aud friend
For their very own they must 10 their

money to buy war bonds. We are, to a
certain extent. We showed patriotic
spirit. But we may have fallen short
of the great essential. For if we dir
not pay back that borrowed money,
says Mr.. Vanderlip, we were not
thrifty, and so did not really help the
government. No one, he says, should
borrow money to buy war bonds or wan
savings stamps unless he afterwards
liquidates the indebtedness, becaus,
to do otherwise contributes to financial
imitation and makes the government s
financial problem more difficult. This
ls matter that ought to be better
understood. 1t isn't the mere pur-
chase of Liberty bonds that helps
Uncle Sam wage war. It's saving the
money out of current income and 1T
ting Uncle Sam use it. And there :
another matter just as important as
paying for the bonds out of SAVINGS,
1t S keeping the the bonds when YOU We
bought them. 1t dOesn t do Uncle Sam
any good if you buy Liberty bonds and
then sell them right away.
