Everybody gets a certais amount of
teasing. No doubt they don't realize
how il annOys you. Don't let them
think you care about this friend. and
don't let them think they Worry you.
When they start teasing you. jolly
them along and agree with them They

THE GENTLE ARR.
BY NIEsAH.

ONE OF the most interesting sights
" which Japan has 20 offer is a
school OF Jujutsu. that remarkable
system OF combat which is so truly
and typically japanese. The one i'm
portant thing about a jujutsu school
room is the floor. which is covered
With heavy mats. Jujutsu means the
soft or gentle art but there is nothing
soft about the thud with which a be-
ginner or sometimes even an advanced
pupil strikes the floor at a quick touch
from his adversary.
In feudal days the knights Of Japan
held the secrets OF jujutsu as the
birthright OF their caste. Later the
art OF self defence without a vveapon
became known TO other classes. and
now policemen and school children
are instructed in elementary fufutsrf
principles This casual training does
nor produce the expert, for jujutsu is
an intricate art and science com bined.
At least seven year Of fucessant
training and practice is necessary to
a real mastery Of the technique Of
iujutsu.
Even then the student does not

You say you have only known this
young man a few weeks. that in itself
is reason enough to ponder the mat

is you aren't old enough TO know

doubt. are a sweet little girl. and as
you say he is nice looking. you natur-
ally were attracted to each other. and
YOU found each other congeuiaI. You
like him. and it's nice to have him for

are sure to have in your girlhood ca
reer. and all the fun you VIII have.

be to run Off with this mice young
