stenographers with an office force
of men. They are all very nice and
polite, but the uperintendent or
the shop is the type of man that
wants to be attractive. He always
comes into the office or is there
when he knows that we are alone.
He seems seuseless. We know that
others are wise to what he is do
ing, but we can't tell him that we
know 1T isn't right for him to be so
attentive. Would 1t be all right to
tell his employer or to write and
tell his wife about it?
t2) Do you think 1t proper for a
married man to say Hello, Kid,
or Good morning. Kid" to a young
lady?
go Do you think a married man
who frequently is talking about his
car and a little spin in the pres
ence of young ladies is courteous
BROWN EYES AND BEAUTY.
ID You have an opportunity to
be very helpful to man who needs
help. If the superintendent thinks
so constantly of girls and is ne
glecting his work he will not be
retained in his position. He will
respect you and thank you always
if you tell him your honest opinion.
This is a test of your character.
You should not tell the mans EN-
ployer or his wife.
(2) No, 1T is not proper. 1t is
cheap.
80 1t depends upon the circum-
stances If the man is talking
about his car to another man the
stenographers have no business
hearing. If he talks directly to
the stenographers themselves they
may know that he lacks a sense of
fitness.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young man who has a very good
position and am able to give girl
mighty good home and all the
comforts of life. | have a lot of
friends among the young ladies and
take them out to the theatre,
dances and parties. yet l have new
er met one whom | felt | could care
enough for to marry. | am So
years old and in all proba bility
have got TO that stage where |
scrutiniZe people more closely
than | should. There isn't a fell
low in the world who wishes to
have a home any more than | do.
but 1 have got to the point where
all women look alike.
Don't think l am pinning roses
on myself. for such is not the case.
No doubt you will tell me 20 attend
church or church gatherings l at
tend church every Sunday. rain or
shine. Then again you may tell me
that | didn't get the girl of my
choice at one time. That is true
When l was % l was engaged to a
little girl aged 81 and the date was
set for the wedding and l even
went so far as to Join her church
For various reasons the engage
ment was broken, but | am glad to
say that after Joining her faith
have gone every Sunday to church
except in asses of sickness.

her by a party at of town.
brought it home to her and she
had TO decide between us Come to
find out the other man was di-
vorced and our religion won't per-
nit anything of that kind She is
still single from last reports and is
in California. | have no desire to
even meet her again What would
you suggest? BILL
l wonder if you are honest with
yourself. Your letter sounds as if
you were very lonely for the girl
and that you do want her again. but
in the years YOU have been without
her YOU have made yourself firmly
believe that You do not want to
met her again. My advice is to find
out where she is and write or go to
her. You may find her very much
changed. but still the only girl"
Single life is not natural and both
of you will be so much happier to-
gether. Don't judge her harshly
because she was engaged to a di-
vorced man. Love goes where it
will regardless of religion and ev-
erything else Remember that il
is not your duty to punish her. You
are tired and bored with yourself
or YOU would not look upon girls
with the Indifference you now feel.
