MARY MEREDITHS ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

are old enough to marry? How often
should he come to see me? There
was dance at friends, and he
asked me to dance with him, and I
wouldn't do it, for he had been drink
ing, and I danced with other boys
and he got mad at me- He desn't
want me to go with any boy but
him. This boy wants to kiss me.
Should l kiss him? The boy of sew
enteen is the prettiest boy in the
world, 1 think. Please advise me
what to do for I have no, mother.
She died when I was only eleven
months old.
LIzETTE.
Answer-Unless you are unus-
ually tall your weight is suffi-
cient. I think that you are old
enough to have boy friends, but
you are young to have sweet
hearts. 1 think that both you
and the boy are too young to
marry. He should not call oft
ener than once a week. You
were quite right to refuse to
dance with him when he was
drinking, and he has no right to
object to your not dancing with
him if he insists on drinking.
Neither should he mind your 60
ing with other boys occasionally.
I would not kiss him.
We are two girls, 10 and 16 years
Of age. T, fifteen, am five feet three
inches tall and weigh 81 IL pounds.
Do you think [ weigh enough for
my height? If not please tell what
to do. Am I too young to have boy
friends? If\ not, how old should
they be? BROWN EYES.
I, sixteen, weigh 1872 pounds. Do
you think I weigh too much for my
age? I am five feet eight inches.
1 am goir@ with a boy is. I love
him dearly, and he says that he loves
me- Am 1 too young to go with
boys? BLUE EYES.
Answer-You do not weigh
quite enough. Drink sweet milk
every day, several glasses. L
think that you are rather young
to go with the boys. Sfxteen's
weight is all right for her height.
I think you are too young for
lovemaking.

NEW BOOKS AND OTHER BOOKS
I do hope that our Country Home
readers will not forget the literature
of the nineteenth century when they
are obliged to read the books printed
at the present time in preSent-day
magazines. 1 have been reading
popular fiction more than seventy
five years, and [ occasionally read
a volume of Dickens and Thackeray
as a relief from more modern fiction.
I read "Henry Esmond," one of
Thackeray's best, only few weeks
ago, when I was nursing lame hand
and obliged to desist from various
domestic occupations. 1t gave me so
much pleasure because 1 always en-
joy it. I hope these lines will induce
some youths of both sexes to pro-
cure copy and read it. The story is
laid in the time of the "Pretender"-
in English history, but the book is
more than delightful today.
I am now reading "The Newcom-
ers," a story of English life in the
time of George ", of ENGLAND.

yet read a book of either of these

In this connection permit me to
say, I think our modern fiction writ
ers are creating an unhealthy atmos-
phere for present-day book lovers.
There is too much written about "af-

the popular literature is like the i'm

will create a thirst for popular fiction
that will be healthy and satisfying.
When the yellowing of the leaf is
practically completed, move UP the
temperature fairly rapid at the rate
Of about degrees per hour until
it at that point until the leaf is en-
tirely dry, especially on the bottom
tier poles. 1t is not safe to raise
the temperature above lao degrees
until the leaf is thoroughly dry, as
the leaf is killed too rapidly and
there is danger of causing the to-
bacco to be dark. IF the temperature
is raised to 1876 degrees too slowly, the
tobacco is likely to mottle. There
fore, the condition Of the tobacco
should be watched as closely as the
thermometer.
When the leaves are dry, raise the
temperature to or 5 degrees an hour
until 10 or 175 degrees is reached.
Keep this temperature until the
stems are thoroughly dry, and there
are no "swelP' stems. The corners
of the barn are usually the last to
cure. When all Of the stems are dry
the fire may be allowed to go out.
Tobacco put in the barn on Monday
is usually cured out by Friday night.
1t must be remembered that these
rules are genra1, since no two plants
of tobacco are alike and no two barns
are exactly alike. The condition of
the weather. may control the tenn
perature. 1t will require a higher
temperature to dry the leaves in
damp, rainy weather than in dry
weather. Common sense and sound
judgment are the growers best
guides. AS a rule, mere mistakes
in curing are made by going too
fast than by going too slow.
About sunset on the day. the cur
ing is finished, open the doors and
ventilators of the barn so as to al
1t must be gotten into such con-
dition that it may be removed from
the barn without breaking the leaves.
Tobacco absorbs moisture very rap
idly if the weather is damp. The
door and ventiulators should be clos
during the day. Usually two nights
with the ventilators open will be suf-
icient to get the tobacco in condi-
ton to handle. If the weather is
very dry, it may be necessary to
wet the floor of the barn before the
tobacco will come in "order." Do
not put water on the tobacco. In
damp weather tobacco is sometimes
damaged on account of becoming too
high in order wAen being taken
out of the barn. 1t is better to take
it out of the barn as dry as pos
sible (when the leaves may. be
squeezed gently in the hand without
breaking).
The tobacco is taken from the
barn to the storage house and bulk
ed down" The storage house should
be tight and we'll ventilated. A
square "bulk' is usually made by
placing four sticks In one direction
and placing the next four sticks di-
agonally and above the first ones in
the same manner that shingles are
packed.

in the offices and banks and stores
and shops.
Jealousy is something that is not
bounded by position or profession.
1t is one of those fundamental hu-
man emotions that exists everywhere
and causes sorrow to every one.
I knew that I had done nothing
to cause jealousy; nevertheless, the
work in which [ was most interested
had been ruined because a woman
had wrnogly suspected her husband
of paying attention to me.
I went home feeling very badly to
find a letter from my mother which
did not make me feel any better.
A Letter From Home
I was in deep distress over the
ending of my work with the sculptor,
and felt not at all like doing any
thing. And then there came a letter
from my mother-one of those she
writes me regularly every week,
which nearly took me back to Can
ada again.
me about the garden and the flowers
at our home; she told me that my
beautiful room in the tower of the
house was waiting for me just as [
had left it, and she implored me to
come back. She was afraid some

my little Manya," she wrote, "why
do you wish to stay away from your
mother who loves you, and work hard
in a strange city, while here at home
awaits everything that you can ask
for. Your father and L want you
back. Your sisters want you back.
Won't you come homer"
I was very near to going back
again. I suppose mothers are alike
ali over the world. And my mother
could not understand why it was
that I should wish to leave my COM
Portable home to come to New York.
In the past mothers have cried over
sons who go away and leave the
home nest to make their own way
in the world but up to this age
they could always keep their daugh-
tiers at home-until they were safe
ly married. But girls as well as
boys want to live their own lives
want to do something that is in them
to do. L think they have always
wanted it, but in the past they have
not been able to break down the ira
ditions and customs that have tied
them to the home until man came
to take care of them"
I thought over my mothers letter.
But / could not do what she asked.
1t was not my pride, thought I was
proud, too, and it. was not stubborn
ness. 1t was the same force that
drove me from Rovno to Kief when
I was little girl of fourteen to try
to find a place to study dancing,
and that put the thought of America
into my head and drove me to try
that adventure.

THE SPRING THAT COMES TO
FLANDERS

BY DAVID MORTON
The spring that comes to Flanders
Goes by on silent feet,
Lest they should wake, remembering
How once the spring was sweet.
And streams that flow in Flanders
Past poppy-f1eld and hill
Are silver streams and shining,
But thoughtful streams and still.
The wind that blows in Flanders
Across the listening air,
Is gentle with the grasses
That bend above them there
And rain that falls in Flanders
Is tender as a prayer.
