London, Dec. 20.---If your son is in France or England at Christmas time you needn't necessarily feel that he is losing all the joy of life. Perhaps he is going to have the opportunity to see a real English Christmas.
 Invitations have (been issued to as many American soldiers and sailors as possible in France, through Y. M c. A. secretaries there, and those in camps and on battleships in England were not forgotten. More than two thousand of them will be entertained for the holidays in London homes alone. And on Christmas day T,50O more will watch the brandy burning on top of the pudding and eye the roasted pig in families who aresto do everything possible to make this holi- day one that the American guest will always remember.
 Invitations poured In to the Inter- national Y M. c. A. Hospitality League from many farms outside of London, too---from Devonshire, where riding and shooting were offered, from Scotland and from Ireland.
 T want two boys for the whole bf , their leave" one Irish woman writes.
 I am going to give them the kindl of Christmas my boys would have liked If they had not been killed in France"

an orphan with no nearer relatives

have personal reasons for not wishing
to marrying anyone, and do not con.
slider it proper to live in his mother
home for so long time. My aunt
considers me prudish regarding the
whole matter.
AS l have never been in a warm
climate during the winter months l am
naturally anxious to go, and please
tell me, in case l live in hotel, just
what sort of clothing a young lady
will need. Respectfully, r. S. V. P.
1t would be proper for you to visit
with your aunt. but scarcely fair to
the man in question If you do not ex.
pect to marry him. If your reason for
not wishing to marry is so strong as to
prevent you from considering him in
other but a friendly way, 1t would be
best not to spend too much time in
his company.
A lightweight suit, silk dress for
afternoon affairs, an evening dress.
and a few light frocks will be useful
if you spend the winter at southern
resort.

herself for a silly girl-just as If there

Sally to be seated.
He said nothing for a moment, but
stood studying her. nodding his head
as though weighing her attractions
and not finding them wanting.

" i MR.. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: What would
you think of a man who has been mar
ried over twelve years, and the father
of five children, telling his wife that
woman who works near him In the
factory is surely a sweet girl" And
this girl Is a grass widow with three
children, although she Is only twenty
one. A READER
He may have meant only to tease
his wife by the statement. l would
not take 1t too seriously.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am q young
woman 80 years old. Have been 60
ing with young man a few months.
He was born in Germany and was
brought to this country when a baby.
He recently lost his position for be-
ing an enemy alien. ! love this man
but not as deeply as the man l was
engaged to several years ago. l know
] can never marry him now so would
like to marry the man l am going
with now. But my mother doesn't
like him, although she treats him al
right when he calls She says | would
never be happy with him, for l never
could care for his people.
Do you think would be doing him
an injustice to marry him when love
another deeper?
Can an enemy alien get a marriage
license?
You evidently are not sure of your
own feelings. Do not get married un-
til you are. 1t would be an injustice
to the man If you married him, caring
for someone else.
Be sure that the man you speak Of
is loyal to this country before you
think Of marrying him. No American
woman would wish to marry a man
that she knew to be in sympathy with
Germany. The fact that he is an en-
envy alien may not be his fault, but be
