but he will not marry me until L
learn to control my temper.
Almost every time he comes over
something happens to make me angry
and then I say terrible things to him
or some one else Last night / was
putting on my little sisters shoes and
she was crying and acting terribly
I got impatient and flung her off my
Ian onto the floor and she hurt her
self. Then he told me that 1 must
control my temper for six months
without losing it once before We could
marry.
what would you advise me to do?
I try hard now but 1t DOESN'T seem to
do any good. HAZEL r.
You do not try hard enough to con-
troll your temper. 1t is a matter you
will have to overcome alone. Now
that you know you are on six months
probation. you ought to have a great
enough incentive to conquer your tenn
per. Close your lips tight when you
are angry and do not say anything.
When you become cool you will not
feel the same desire to be unkind.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am eigh-
teen years old and in love with a
widower thirty who has four children,
aged one and one-half to eight years.
He has a nice country home, car,
and seems to care a great deal for me.
He has asked me to marry him.
| His mother has kept house for him
since the death of his wife and If /
| should marry him she would con-
tinue making that her home. Do you
think 1 could be happy with his
mother there or would it cause
trouble7 My parents do not want me

very much. BELLE.
1t seems to me you are too young
| to marry. If 1 were you I would ask
/ the man for six months TO think il
over. Six months is very short time
but it would be better than to become
/ engaged now, because it would give
you time to know each other better.

much of them so that he might spend

THINGS THAT MAKE A SALESMAN.


First of sll-honesty. Because this
trait enters into every fundamental
that makes a good salesman. The
MAN must represent himself honestly
then his house or product or what
ever is to be sold must be presented
as it is.
Enthusiasm for. the thing sold. cou-
pied with second nature knowledge of
the thing offered, comics next II you
do not believe in the thing you repre-
sent, no one else will nd unless you
ore able to present your points about
it coneiEely. accurately and without
hesitation, you are going TO lose when
you should have won.
Burn a literal hole into the con-
seriousness of the one to whom you
seek TO sell,
Watch for every opening whereby
you may let your man sell himself
then he will have greater respect
for his own Judgment in buying. This
is important.
Get the essential facts home. Choose
your words and get them to their mark
