Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am q
young married woman with a small
son four years old. We live with my
husbands family and both my hus-
band and / work. l think / should
stay home and take care of my son,
but can not get along with my
mother-in-law. The only way to
keep any peace in the house is for
me to stay away all day. When my
husband is home everything goes
all right, but when am there alone
she is continually nagging and
whining. What shall ! do. We did
live alone, but my health failed.
MRS. w.
If your health will permit you to
work every day it seems to me that
you ought to be able to do house
work especially if you had help for
the heavier work or some of the
new devices for making work cas-
Ter. The saying is true that no house
is big enough for two families. The
money you have earned ought Ito
be enough to pay for any help you
might need. The strain OF living I'M
der the conditions you do does not
tend to improve your health.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Last sum-
mer l fell in love with one of my
classmates. l went several places
with him until he went to the noun
tains. After he left he wrote to me
several times. finally got tired of
writing to him. Then when he came
back ] wanted to be friends again,
but of course he was angry because
l didn't answer his letter. Can you
tell me what to do to get him to
like me? Ky. 4.
The best you can do is to speak
to the boy in a friendly way when
you meet. II he insists upon being
angry. you will have to let him be.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been
corresponding with a boy for some
time. A while ago let one of my
girl friends read one of his letters
and he got angry. Can you tell me
what to do? This girl used TO go
with the same boy a long time ago
and she was jealous of me. So she
read his letter and then told him
that l let anyone who wanted to
readthem. Please informe me what
to do to get him to like me aagin.
BLUE YES.
or course you have apologized to
the boy He may never care to be
friendly again. But this experience
was worth while, because it has
taught you lesson. Never again let
people read your personal letters.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: "a How
long should a girl wear an engage
ment ring before she is married?
90 If a girl is engaged is it all
right for her to hold on to the arm
OF the boy to whom she sengaged :?
CD Do you think a girl loves a
boy IL she is not little Jealous of
him? nor.
~ A girl can wear an engage
ment ring from the time she is en-
gagged until she is married or the
engagement is broken.
90 She has the right, but It
looks better nowadays for the man
to take the girls arm.
(3) Yes, a girl can love without
being Jealous. Her faith is too great
to permit jealousy.
Dear Mrs. Thompson I am a girl
eighteen years old. Last summer
father and were in California and
/ met a young man twenty-one
years old. We well in love with
each other and he asked me IN
marry him. Father wouldn't consent
because we were so young. Recent
ly received letter from him say
ing he would Come here and we
would be secretly mapried. Would
this be right or would you wait I'M
til your parents consented? Do you

BEGGING A KISS.

NV dear, whene'er have you near
I'm happy and delighted;
When absent, oft shed q tear,
And feel that hope is biighted.
I'm with emotion so confused
When by my side I've found you.
I madly wish-I'm SO enthused-
To put my arms around you
I view your pretty pouting lips
Could gaze on them for hours
And wonder why the wise bee sips
His honey from the flowers.
Were I bee I'd leave such bl1sses
AS hang on pink and daisy,
And fly to you and live On kisses
Til Joy had run me crazy!

get along with an army of only 100000. But
then the Germans will have to learn to get

MOVIE PRoPRIETORs, ATTENTION!

/ Sir: knowing the Chords sector" of The
Argus possesses universal influence and that
it's editor is ever willing to sponsor good
cause if there is the making of laughter there
in, 1 beg of you to enlist your colyum to the
end of again having offered to the public an
opportunity of seeing Charles Chaplin in
Shoulder Arms" So many of the boys re-
turning from France have expressed a desire
to see the picture, being doubly interested in
it, first, because they know it is funny and
second, because it burlesques that which has
been their business for year or And many
of the poor fellows laid over in tents in France
with American newspapers before them con-
tanning advertisements of the picture and you
could see on their faces that they just ached to
see the f1Iem. Many will applaud your efforts.
A RETURNED SOLDIER.
While advertising c. Chaplin or his film is
not exactly in our line, the suggestion of "a
Returned Soldier is heartily endorsed by us,
with the added suggestion that some of the
local movie men give the matter serious con-
sideration.
Merely to prove the truth of the old adage
that where there is smoke there must be fire"
we quote the following inspired headline:
Huge Columns of Black Smoke Are Caused
by Blaze"

PUTTING 1T UP TO AMELIA.

Sir: What do you think of the following
letter from farmer-soldier-lover?
Dearest Amelia My love is stronger than
the smell of coffee or old butter, or the kick of
a COW. Sensations of exquisite joy go through
me like cohorts of ants through army crack
er, and caper over my heart like young goats
on stable roof. 1 feel as if 1 could lift my
self by my boot straps to the height of church
steeple, or like an old horse in a green pas
ture. AS the mean pup bankers after sweet
milk so do l banker after your presence. And
as the gosling swimmeth in a mud puddle, so
do 1 swim in sea of delightfuIness when you
are near me- My heart 1ops up and down like
cellar doors in a country town; and If my love
is not reciprocated l will pine away and die
like poisoned cOotie and you can come and
catch a cold on my grave" <
