for his girl and how he liked her to
shine at the parties and theaters! Now,
though, that he has proposed and have

on my sofa and accepts my dinner In
Vltatlons and hangs around when he

Another thing that is fast making me

Women sometimes fail to keep their
sweethearts and husbands polite and
thoughtful because they allow the men
to feel entirely too sure of them. A
man sometimes forgets to look after
the comfort and pleasure Of his girl or
partner because he gets used to having
her look after his well-being and be-
comes spoiled and thoughtless. To hold
a sweetheart or husband one must de-
mand attention, but not BY raising a
fuss, or nagging. All that is necessary
Is that the woman make a suggestion
or so. Say quietly: mo, | don't mean
to call you up. l don't care to be talked
about and if you don't see fit to take
care Of my reputation I'll manage to do
It myself"

sit and stare as if he were a novelty.
But don't give in Calling men by
phone is common and | would never
allow myself to be coaxed into doing
it. As for having him take you out,
say. 81 would like to go to the theater,
you forget to ask me, so | will have to
remind you" If he takes this well he
will be- worth the effort of training, II
not well, probably it will be best to

1t will be all right to keep up the
correspondence but do not in any way
encourage the young man to love you.
Write less often and say nothing to
