OUR HOUSEHOLD
| CONDUCTED By LIZZIE OTHOMAS

For winters rain and ruins are
over,
And all the season of SHOWS and
sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that
wins;
And time remembered Is grief for

And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring be-

There is g. green row, crowned
with pure gold, the daffodil gold. all

protected them from old BoreaS, and
the sunshine coaxed them into bios
soming at least two weeks earlier
than the line that runs nearer the
east fence. The peach trees are
swelling their buds and there are a
few faint specks of white on the
more Venturesome branches of the
Bridal wreath.
The Farmer has pruned his grape
vines, given the strawberry bed a
little attention and a promise to get
there again. There is so much to
rejoice oVer-spring is almost here.

Is winter over, but wars horrors have
ceased. The meeting of loved ones
from over the seas goes steadily on
and the fact that some come manned

the JOY of actually seeing them alive.
This is the month that Japan gives

CAROLINA JEWETTS ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

gagged to a young man of twenty
three. We have been sweethearts
since we were childr-n. He Is city
boy and likes the gay life, while am
from the country and like a quiet
life Do you think 1 could make him
happy: He visits me once a year
and rarely mentions love to me, but
writes often and tells me in his let
ters that he is crazy about me. Don't
you think he ought to do more talk
ing? Do you also think If ones
brother breaks his engagement with
your best friends sister that he
should go back on his promise TO
you on that account?
think If you both would endeavor
to meet one another half way on this
gay and quiet life problem, that you
could live happily together. The
young man is probably not one OF
the demonstrative kind and is 100
self-conscious to show you how much
he cares for you. No, he should not
break his promise.
1 am a young girl Of nearly six
teen and am going with young man
of twenty-five. He seems to love me
and 1 am sure I love him. He asked
me not long ago how 1 would like to
be his wife. Do you think he was
trying to propose? What would you
advise me to do? Some Of the boys
around here seem to love me ana
some of them I love. Is 1t right for a
boy to give a girl a birthday gift?
l. sounds something like pro-
posal. You should not marry until you
are at least eighteen, though. How
can you love more than one boy at
the SAME time? If the gift Is not an
expensive one it is all right.
come to you in a different way
than most Of the girls who write to
you. The other girls want advice
about their lovers. If had one,
would know how to keep him, but
that's just the trouble. I1can't seem
to attract young men at all. When
I'm in a crowd the boys will joke
with me and then go off with an
other girl. Can you tell me what to
do about it? The other girls seem
to be working against me, and will
not give me a chance,
Perhaps you do not make yourself
attractive and interesting. Boys and
mer like a girl who can talk about
to talk about themselves and try
to appear interested. A man would
rather talk about himself than any
thing in this world, and II he can
find an appreciative audience he'll
stick to that audience. Try it and
you'll find I'm right.
