young you will lose much of the
pleasure of youth and be an old,

get wife. [ would go ahead

L was attracted, and sooner or
later you will find the girl who
will love you. If you want to
and know other girls that is all
right because it may be that you
will find the right girl some
where else besides at home.
-. have been going with a certain
boy the past year until four weeks
ago. He has now ceased coming to
see me for the sake of another girl
who was the cause OF our. breaking
up. He was always true as his word
until this girl, or rather my rival"
came between us. And now, know
ing that he believes things that she
tells him that are not true, no lon
ger care for his company. This girl
breaks up my friendship with every
boy that I go with. I am not crazy
me how to prevent this girl from
causing me to lose friendship with
all my friends. I have just met an
other boy, and haven't been in his
company much although he seems aw-
fully nice. He has asked me to let
him come to see me. Must l?
Answer-Always be sure that
you give the girl absolutely no
excuse for saying things that
1nSc In
or reflect on you, Then, instead
of being mad with the girl and
showing it in any way, always
speak plansantly of her to the
other boys, saying the incest
things that you can of her. BY
boys think well of you for act
ing in kind and sweet manner
and they will think the other
girl ought to be ashamed to talk
about you when yoG acting
nicely towards her. II ~ like
the boy and he is nice let him
call.
I am a girl IA, and I am in love
with a boy of II; and he came to see
me one night and my parents called
bedtime at o'clock that night. Is
it right for them to cal bedtime at
that hour of the night? My parents
do not want me to go with the boys,
and don you think that am ola
enough to have boy friends to go
with me to places? BLUE EYES.
Answer-No, I do not think
that you are quite old enough yet
to go with the boys, and think
that you should listen to your
parents advice. I do think,
however. that it was little bit
inconsiderate of them to embar.-.
rass you by calling bedtime"
as you say. I think they should
just firmly insist on your not
having callers, and that if there
should happen to be anyone
there they should wait until the
nn1nnanv goes to renrirnand YOU.

MARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

string. 1t is not so much ques-
ton as to which loves you the
best but which you love most.
one way or the Other in regard
to the boys, and marry the one
you love best and let the other
go. The best way in which to
be ning-mannered is to be
sweet and unaffected in your
ways with no trace of vanity in
your thoughts or deeds.
We are two cousins, aged sixteen
years, and we are very closely at

girls better than we do ourselves.
young to go with girls, but we do not
feel so. Do you think we are?
Should we have a certain girl to
go with? How old should we be be-
fore we get married? How late should
we stay at night? What should we
say when we are being introduced
to "a girl? What should we say when
live in the country. Should we spend
all day when we go to see a girl or
wait and go in the afternoon.
TWO COUSINS.
Answer-You are too young to
go with the girls as sweet
hearts, though you are old
enough to begin to be friends
with girls. You should be nice
to all of them and specialize on
none just yet. You should be at
least twenty-one years old before
marrying. You should not stay
later than 10 o'clock at your age.
Say you are glad to meet her.
Ask, MAY I come to see you"
and name the time you wish to
call. Unless you are specially
invited to spend the day, you
should wait until afternoon to
call.
I am a girl sixteen years old, and
am in love with a man twenty
eight and my father is very cross to
me and don't want me to be with
this young man. 1 love him with all
my heart and he loves me dearly.
Do you think I would be doing wrong
to marry this man or not, as I think
he will make me a good husband?
His folks seem to think the world
of me and want me to marry him.
So please give me your best ad-
vice.

Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-08-22

THE object of this page is to put
Il squarely before the people that
there are only five more days left of the
greatest retail sale in the world, the
August Furniture Sale at Wanamaker's.
There is not a man, woman or child
in Philadelphia, or within the CONNER
cial sphere of Philadelphia, for whom
that fact does not hold an interest,
because there is not man, woman or
child in Philadelphia or elsewhere who
is not interested and vitality interested
in the things of the home, and this is a
sale deliberately intended to make
better, more beautiful and more per-
manent homes; when we say home we
mean not only the individual dwelling,
"be it ever so humble" and the individ-
ual mansion, be it ever so palatial, but
also the modern apartment which, after
all, represents striving after ideals of
home comfort and convenience.

A Sale Backed by
Merchandise to the End

THIS is sale for all homes coming
l. within these definitions. It is
indisputably the greatest Sale upon
which they have to draw for furniture
of the most worthy and dependable
kind. Especially in the main thing, that
is to say, in the merchandise, this sale,
now as always-rather now more than
ever-stands supreme.
Now, as at the beginning, the
strength and superiority of it are
mainly in the goods It is not out of
place to dwell upon this factor at the
present time, for the simple reason that
this is the very time when it means
most to people who still have their furni-
ture to buy. In the face of the demands
that have been made upon it, if this were
an ordinary kind of sale it would be all
"shot to pieces" by now.
But it is at this very stage of it's
career-during the last days-that the
worlds greatest sale proves most
strikingly it's title to the name.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-08-22

It proves it in the one way that can
not be gainsaid-in the amplitude of the
stocks of desirable furniture that are
here for your selection. Now, as at the
outset, this is the Sale with the goods,
Notwithstanding that all past selling
records have been surpassed.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-08-22

although the same furniture in Sep
tember or October can be sold at large
advance.
To begin with, WE ARE NOT
ANXIOUS TO GET RID OF 1T.
We will offer it at August reduc-
tions up to the last business day of the
month, because that is a custom and
condition of the August Sale.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-08-22
NOW Is the Time to Get
Ahead of the Market

TT is not our fault that furniture has
L. advanced It would be hard to say
whose fault it is. So far as can be
observed, it is a condition for which
nobody in particular is responsible.
But it is one of those conditions
against which everybody who is going
to need furniture in the not remote
future should provide, and the time to
provide against it is now, and the Sale in
which to do the providing is the Sale
that provides the goods, the right goods
in a variety with which no other variety
even begins to compare. ,r~smn
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-08-22

But the one reason above all why
we are selling now at price reductions
furniture, which in September will be
marked at 10 to 70 per cent higher, is
because we are not in the profteering
business.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-08-22

FiUe Days Mean
TT MAY be we'll for you to consider
i just what the opportunities of these
last five days mean.
In doing so, you must bear in mind
that the value of every bit of furniture
in this stock is considerably greater now
than it was back in June and July. Many
things have gone up in price at the
workshops even since this Sale began.
After each half-yearly Sale all the
furniture has gone back automatically
to the higher price-levels. This time,
however, when the Sale is over, all
pieces which must be replaced will have
to be marked at an advance on the
prices that prevailed in July, because
the market has gone up in the mean
time. t..
In the face of this condition one
might ask why we are anxious to get rid
of furniture now at price reductions

Chatterbox on guard to see that no

Chatterbox looked everywhere and
at last found the new door into

then he knew how those rascals had
gotten in and what had happened.
Before the day was over all those
little rascals came sneaking back
again to try and get in and see if
there could be a crumb left.
Chatterbox ran back and forth in
the tree tops, and talked and grum-
bIed and seemed very excited about
something, but nobody could tell
what he was talking about.
Jimmie Coon felt worried and
wondered if Chatterbox knew any
thing about the door into the hall
that he had made or anything about
all the food those rascals had taken.
When Jimmie Coon tried to find
out, all Chatterbox would talk about
was the nice house Gully Porcupine
had for a party.
