The Boston Post. speaking of the verdict of
s cents in the Ford-Tribune libel suit, says:
"A jury has declared after a long and highly
elaborated trial in which the defense did all
that money and legal brains could do to JUS
tify the use of the word, that Ford is not an
anarchist He got the decision. and the 6 cents
may indicate either that the jury thought he
did not care anything for money or that the
Tribune has not been able to damage him to
any extent in a financial way by what it had
said. Either assumption counts more heavily
against the defendant than the plaintiff.
when Theodore Roosevelt won a verdict
Of cent against the Marquette newspaper that
had libeled him, he and his friends expressed
themselves as feeling that they had won no
table victory. On that basis so has HenR

AS we recall, the Tribune considered the
Roosevelt verdict a real victory.

@, What was Tennyson's proph-
ecy that is regarded as having been
fulfilled in this war? l.. n.
A. The prophecy of Tennyson's
LOcksley Hall was as follows:
For I dipt into the future, far as
human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world. and
all the wonder that would be I;
Saw the heavens fill with COM
merce, argosies OF magic
sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight,
dropping down with costly
bales:
Heard the heavens fill with shout
ing. and there rain'd a ghast-
| ly dew
From the nations airy navies
graphing in the central
blue;
Far along the worldwide whisper
of the southwind rushing
warm,
With the standards of the peoples
plunginE through the thun-
derstorm;
Till the war-drum throbb'd no
longer. and the battle flags
were furl'd
In the parliament OF man. the

also retain her life interest in the
land on which the building stood.

| ashamed Of her own father it shows
that she is a snob and lacks heart
and soul.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: You havs
made the remark that a girl should
never allow a young gentleman to
kiss her; then why is it that all
the fellows try it, or IL given tho
least encouragement will do il. It
seems so disgusting to me.
/ have gone with a young gen
tleman over a year. and under or
binary conditions have gone out
twice a week with him, but he has
never spoken OF marriage or even
that he cares for me. Do you think
he has the right TO take so much
of my time as long as we are not
engaged? I have tried to gradu-
ally cut down our spending so
much time together, but II seems
as though I cannot do it. He al
ways kisses me before leaving and
very often during the evening. Is
it wrong?
have noted that when my girl
friends and I go out they allow the
fellows to kiss them and make a
fuss over them while I always dis
courage them. but II seems as
though my friends get the dates,
and very often the fellows make
fun of me because I don't allow IT,
Why is this? Probably you think
I am not as good looking as my
friends, but in reality / am as gOOIA
looking as they PERPLEXED.
You are mistaken about my say
ing that a girl should never allow
a young gentleman TO kiss her. She
should not until she is engaged.
but then it is the most natural
thing in the world. Affection should
not be forbidden, nor yet abused.
When indulgence is given to pro
miscuous loVe-making affection is
abused
It is human nature to want TO he
loved and that is why boys try to
kiss girls and girls are inclined 10
permit it. Everyone should have
too much self-respect to make love
as a pastime.
The young man has no right 20
kiss you without asking you 70
marry him. II he goes to see you
as a friend only and is willing you
should go with other young men,
too, twice a week is not too often
for him to come. Under the cir
cumstances. however. Il would be
advisable for you to limit his calls
to once week. He is not treating
you fairly.
Many young men and women
cheaper themselves by too much
kissing. Since you have more char
acter and good taste than the 9TH
ers seem to possess, they make fun
OF YOU. Disregard their ridicule
and do what you consider right.

A PerpIexing Question.

Note from a mother:
L have been planning to give my
daughter information which she
constantly seeks and / don't know
I How to go about it. My daughter
is 10, and asks very often: Where
do the doctors get the babies% /
do so want to know the right way
of imparting knowledge to her.
Will you please send me your book
let on this subject?''
/ have no booklet. In fact. I do
not know just how the mother
should proceed with her daughters
education. 1t depends on the kind
OF understanding that has existed
between them all along. 1t is an
exceedingly difficult problem for a
doctor to solve without some ac-
quaintance with the family con-
cerned. The mother should teach
the daughter; the father should
teach the son. If either parent feels
incompetent, then the daughter
should be taught by the best wom-
an physician available, or if no
woman physician is available. then
by a trained nurse in whom the
parents have confidence; and the
boy should be taught by the family
doctor.
a little girl used to hail me at
every meeting, if + happened to be
carrying my, well, my brief case.
Have you got our baby?" she
would inquire eagerly, and / would
have to confess that thebaby was

fess that at the homent l had moth

knowledge-usually from improper
sources-at the age of nine years.
Therefore proper instruction can
not be safely postponed beyond that
age.
Procrastiination is a great sin of
parents IN this matter. 1t is so
easy to assume that our own chill
dren are more innocent than other
children. Innocence is indeed
sweet. 1t is in no wise DESTROYED
by knowledge. There can be no
better evidence of this than the
high standard OF womanly purity
shown by educated nurses. And on
the other side stands the fact that
in the great majority of moral dis
asters the girl is ignorant of the
greatest truths. By actual test 90
per cent of all immoral women are
