Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a
girl nineteen years old and went a
/ few times with q boy before he had
TO go to war. I have known this
bov all my life and love him very
much and he has told me he loves
me. He has been over there year
now and l have written to him all
the time.
/ He says in almost ev7ry letter he
/ loves me and / believe he does.
would not 20 with ANY ether boy
| # / knew he would not want me to.
| hut he has never said anything
| about it to me.
| Do YOU think il would be all
! right if 1 would write and ask him
| il he cared il 1 did go? Would it
be rushing things little on my
part? Should he speak first? l
| surely do not want TO do anything
| to hurt him and I am willing to do
| anything I can for him.
| TWILIGHT.
You have not known the boy long
| enough to be sure of your love for
| him or his for you Love is so seTi-
| Gus a matter that a boy should not
sneak of It unless he asks a girl
10 become engaged at the same
time In case you are not engaged
you are free to go with other boys.
I can see your position and realize
that you do not want to offend the
how Won love. At the same time
YOU must protect yourself against
| the possibility of his Ceasing to love
YOU when he returns. L is not
necessary to write and ask permits
sion.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 have
gone with a young man for four
years. We had just begun to love
each other dearly when by poor
crops he lost all his property, in
GLIDING a car. He never comes TO
see me anymore, but writes love
letters still, telling me how he
would love to see me.
l have a Ford TunabOut at my
liberty. Would it be proper for me
to take a drive and get him and
bring him to my home or go to
shows in it with him? He some
times asks if love him since he has
failed. How can I prove this?
ANXIOUS ELVY.
It will be perfectly proper to call
for him in your machine. 1t is not
necessary to tell him repeatedly that
you love him in spite of his failure.
Do not talk about the matter. The
fact that you remain true to him
will be proof enough OF your love.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ~ Are
boys and girls OF fourteen to sew
enteen too young to go around to-
gether in couples If they have
known each other all their lives?

Henry P.Davison was talking about
the numerous correspondence courses
in five lessons-each lesson to be mas
tered in one evening over the after
dinner cigar-which teach a man how
to become a Napoleon of finance.
"You can't learn to be Napoleon
of finance or anything else so easily"
he said. ''These courses remind me of
the man who brought his son to the
school of mines and growled:
Isl want you to learn this here boy
to be an expert mimi engineer, but
look a-here-I don't want him to waste
his time over a lot of book nonsense
about strata and foundations, and
don't bother him with minerology and
crystals, neither. What / want him to
learn is how to find gold and silver and
copper in payin' quantities-payin'
quantities, mind you-and I'll call for
him and put him in to work Monday a
week."

Nothing Doing There.

Noiselessly, but with all his might,
the burglar tugged away at the dress
ing table drawer.
In vain. 1t refused to open. He
tugged again.
Give it another jerk" said a voice
behind him.
The burglar turned. The owner of
the house was sitting up in bed and
looking at him with an expression of
the deepest interest on his face.
"Jerk it again. There's a lot of
valuable property in that drawer, but
we haven't been able to open 1t since
the damp weather began. If You can
pull it out I'll give you a handsome
royalty on everything that's"

through the window, taking part of
the sash with him.-Pearson's Weekly.
