Dear Mrs. Thompson: have written
to you for advice as am daily
reader OF your Heart and Home Prob
lems.'' l am fifteen years old and
have been going with a boy for some
time. He Is very nice boy and !
thought there never was nicer boy.
He seemed to care q great deal for
me and l for him. He had been in
trouble at one time and my parents
objected to him. They say am too
young to 90 with boys. know that
I am too young, but |. feel that can
not give this boy up. I have not
been with him since last March but
he often enters my mind. This boy
does not know why l dropped his
friendship. Should l tell him or
should I let matters 60 on as they
are?
You should forget the entire matter.
Your parents are quite right In for
bidding you to go With this boy. You
are very young and will soon forget
all about him. do not think the COM
partnership of good wholesome boys
will be harmful for you at your age.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am wor.
ried about a girl friend of mine. She
and her young man friend have
quarreled. My friend is not interested
in any thing. cannot get her inter
ested. l have tried, but she always
gets back on the subject of this friend.
She has been going with this fellow
for quite while, but OF late he has
acted mean to her. He makes dates.
but breaks them to 60 with another
girl. l have tried to keep her from
having anything to do with him. She
ought not to. But she will make
dates!
Can't you tell me of some way that
I can interest her? She must do
something or she will have a break
down, for she really likes this fellow
very much. Help me if you can.
TROUBLED JACKIE.
If you can keep your love for your
friend and never show disgust for
her in her attitude, you will be doing
the greatest service possible. Do not
offer advice or even give it unless
she seeks it and shows that she is
ready to be helped. Doubtless her
affair with the man has almost
reached crisis. If she does not drop
him, he will her, and the result will be
the same. She will have to realize
that she must live without him and
then she will begin to look about for
interests for herself 1t is the uncer-
tainty of things which is breaking her
down. AS soon as the affair is over
she will have peace.
| When the end comes the thought
which will be most helpful to your
friend, If she can see it, is that she
must not turn her eyes backward,

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The separa-
ton of Angler B. Duke, son of Benja-
min N. Duke, the tobacco king" and
his twenty-year-old bride, whom he
married three and onehalf years ago,
is supplying the gossips with an un-
usually interesting theme. RumOrs OF
an impending separation have been
rife in Philadelphia and New York
society for more than year. Indeed,
many friends of the young couple pre-
dicted an early parting from the very
day their engagement was announced.
Now Mrs Duke is living with her two
babies and her mother at a New York
hotel, while her husband is said to be
sojourning in Florida.
The wedding, which took place in
Holy Trinity church. Philadelphia. on
April %, 1915, was one of the greatest
social events of the season. Since
Revolutionary days, in which the Bid
dies made history. members of the
Drexel-Biddle family of Philadelphia
have occupied pedestal in Philadel-
phia society.
Angler Duke, heir to $50,000,000
Duke tobacco fortune, and possessing
$1O,O00,0OO in his own right, had been
lean mammas Miss Biddle was six
teen years old and just graduated from
school when she met him.

once most ardent attachment sprang

in her own determined way and de-

but would come out in society at once.
Mrs. Biddle then brought Cordelia
officially into society at the largest
debutante tea ever held in Philadel-
phia. The entire upper floor of the
Bellevue-Statford was taken for the
party, which 5000 persons attended.
Following that, Mrs. Biddle took her
daughter to Palm Beach. 1t was hint
ed that this was to escape the ardent
love making of Mr.. Duke. He was not
to be shaken off. however, and also
went to Palm Beach.
Upon the return of the Biddles to
Philadelphia, about the first of March,
1915. the engagement was announced

So great was the interest In the
that a hundred policemen
were required to keep back the vast
crowd which gathered about the
church. Two thousand invitations
were sent out and several cars brought
guests from New York. Yet many
were the predictions at the wedding
that Mr.. and Mrs. Duke would not
live long in contentment.

"CAMOUFLAGE"
BY MISS SUE NORRIS.

Harley Cox had achieved what the
other boys thought a most enviable
fame-he was the biggest social sue
cess in the Wilton summer colony.
Many fellow rivals wondered just how
he did it and didn't hesitate to in
quire. But Harley was unable to offer
any practical assistance along this line.
It wasn't in the poor boys power to
tell how the trick was turned.
The girl favored with his invitation
was considered especially lucky. Was
it any wonder, then, that all of Will
toms folks stood aghast at the thought
of Harl showing such a marked pref
erence for the society of Airline Serl?
True, that girl was a sweetly refined
little thing and reasonably popular !;
but when one considered the wide
range of selection available to man
of Harris standing it was startling to
know that he preferred the little gov
erness in the Parkman family. Harl
and Airline were slowly rounding the
curve, which would bring them
in direct vision of the Parkman ve-
randa.
