Normal and Industrial college.
Milledgeville, Ga. You may play
games, talk, read, play on any
musical instrument, dance, do
anything in a lady-like manner
to make the young man feel at
ease. There isn't any set rule on
entertaining ones friends. 1t is
perfectly proper for the young
man to call to see you when
there is sickness in the home,
unless the person is seriously
i'll and you are needed at the bed
side. 1t is an act of courtesy
for a friend to call at your home,
about us in sickness as well as
when everything about us is
running smoothly.
I'm coming to you for some good
advice. There is boy going with
me and I love him very dearly and
he says he loves me and wants me

think every girl should enjoy
the few years allotted to her be-
tween school and marriage and
have more than one young man
friend. 1t is not right or in JUS
tice to herself to have only one
oeau, when others wish to pay
her attention, for the simple
reason that men always like to
ming. Unless others find his
lady friend attractive he will
get tired of her himself, as a
rule. Unless you intend mar
rying very soon. Do not con-
fine yourself to one beau.
I would like for you to give me
some advice. I am eighteen years
old and my mother has been dead
sixteen years. Don't you thing it
would be right for me to marry at
the age of nineteen? I am engaged
to a boy about one year older than
am. am 5 feet 2 inches tall and
and IL inches and weighs 17o. 10
you think it would be all right for
us to marry? He goes to college
about twelve miles from here. is
it proper for him to come TO see
me every Sunday? Is there any
harm to kiss your sweetheart it
you are engaged?
PEGGY"
I see no reason why you cam
not marry at the age of nine
teen, provided the young man
is steady, and is capable of pro-
viding for you. You. of course,
realize that it costs more for
two people to live than one. And
therefore, it is necessary to take
that into consideration. Pull to-
gether, and you will no doubt
be. reasonably happy, even II
you do encounter a few hard
times. Marriage is realI yall
right If two people love each
other sufficiently to bear and
forebear with one another. I
think it is perfectly proper to
have the young man call on you
on Sunday. You will have to
figure out for yourself the kiss
ing part.

The Jacobean period held sway
during almost all of the seventeenth
century. A characteristic of this
style Of furniture is the rich and
heavy carving, particularly that
known as strap-work Oak was the
wood generally employed.
The gate-legged tables of this pc
riod are either round or oblong. The
distinguishing feature is two drop
leaves supported on movable gates.
The eight legs are under-framed and
symmetrically turned.

Weekly Grain and
Provision Review

Chicago, June 5.-Sweeping up
turns in the price Of corn have
taken place this week, chiefly as a
result of failure of efforts to
hurry the much belated crop
movement. Compared with week
ago; corn quotations this morning
we're 81 to 111a cents higher and
oats were up 81 to ~ cents. In
provisions the outcome varied from
30 cents decline to 21e cents gain.
As soon as sufficient time had
elapsed for new effects to be pro.
duced by stringent federal orders
to the railroads that more cars be
furnished, the continued meager-
ness Of arrivals of corn led quick
ly to a steep advance. So impetu-
GUS was the rush to buy that in 4
single session IA cents a bushel
was added to values. Warnings to
the railroads that penal sections
of the interstate commerce act
would be invoked had only a tenn
porary bearish influence. On the
other hand. impediments to wheat
export business In Argentina gave
a fresh advantage to the bulls in
corn, and SO too did reports that
the 1920 domestic grain season was
10 to 20 days late.
Oats climbed to the topmost
prices yet this season. Simultan-
eously, receipts dwindled nearly to
zero.
Provisions were weakened by the
fact that the stock Of lard here
was the second heaviest on record.
