give my two employers for Christmas.
They have always given me nice check.
on Christmas and | have never given
them anything, but wish to do 50 this
year PATSY.
Handkerchiefs probably are the best
present to give these men. Do not
make them too ornate-just the. usual
handmade article, rolled and whipped
| ton Of colors such as blue. and red:
! black and green, with the full initial
of each in the corner.
Bears Mrs. Thompson-WiII you kind
! ly give reliable address whereby !
a government or church school In Cuba
or Porto Rico? PERPLE&ED.
Write to Secretary. Church Board Of
Missions, New York city, of any denom-
ination (exact address should be Sc
cured from your pastor;) for govern
ment inquiry write to Hon. P. P. Clax-

Bears Mr. Thompon-l am a girl 10
year old. A boy whose friendship value
very much had date with me the other
night and asked me to kiss him. This
refused to do because you have SAID
| so often that 1t Is not proper. The FOL-
lowing night this boys brother came
|
! AS am In the habit of kissing the boys
| could not resist the temptation and
| let him kiss me. He went and told his
brother, and now the first boy Is mad
with me; What can ! DO to regain MS
1t is great pity you did not continue
to follow my advice. because you are
now paying the penalty that all girls
pay when they practice promiscuous
kissing, a thing to be unhesitatingly
condemned. / am telling you something
you have Just found out, but do not
realize it's significance. All boys in
their teens (and sometimes those out
| of their teens) have neat little way
of telling every other boy and girl OF
their acquaintance of the girls who
allow kissing. Don't blame the boys,
for "as it was in the beginning, is now
and ever shall be-" Just don't kiss
them and then there will be no regrets.
There is nothing can suggest TO you
in getting back this boys friendship II
he continues to be mad. Let him alone
and don't try.
Dear Mrs. Thompson--ln Thursdays
paper we noticed a complaint signed
SimpIeton. We would like to swap Jobs
with the girls In question for the very
reverse of this situation Is our trouble,
We are two elf-respectlne girls who
work In a postofflce and never have
any annoyance from any of the many
men who come In the postoffiee with
the exception of one infant who works
In a bank and who persists In frequent
Inq the office at all hours Of the day
and on any or no pretext. We try &c
treat all with equal courtesy, but our
mere cviIty Is misunderstood evidently
by this young man, who hangs tirst lr
one window and then another, until the
very lodges sag and Irate customers re,
IieVe US of his presence with All bu,
the use Of force. AS the poor boy ha'
only lately come in from the deep tim
Der, we know that his conduct Is ae
tuated by ignorance or possibly loneli'
ness, and as we are consistent church
members and we trust--ladies, we woult
like to know some kind Of way o.
obViatIna this nuisance without the us'
of violence, If possible. .
YEA AND NAY.
Simply ignore him entirely and YOU
indifference gradually viii penetrate hi
skull. Time viii do the rest.
