In and Up and Up.

(By j. j. Montague).
Smith put all his cash in nice corner iot'
And joyfully said to his wife
That when they'd erected a nice little cot,
They'd surely be happy for life;
But when the glow that they felt when the
house was complete
Endured but a shadOwy minute,
For the Browns built house half a block up
the street
With three baths and sun parlor in it.
So Smiths on the Building and Loan made a
raid,
And put up house that threw Brown in the
shade.
When Smith in his f1ivver, would jog into town,
He thrilled with justified pride,
As he drew up his car at the mansion Of Brown
And asked him to go for ride
But the Joy that he felt swiftly vanished away,
AS he stood by his white garden gate,
Regarding the world with contentment one day,
Brown drove up in brand new twin-eight.
So Smith right away had to work out plan.
To purchase ION credit twin-eight sedan.
The Smiths had cook whom they proudly
displayed
Whenever the Browns came to call.
It pleased Mrs. Smith to allude to my maid"
For the Browns had no servant at all.
But 10y fades away as the months speed
around;
The Smiths were soon plunged in despair
For when at the Browns they took diuner they
found
cook and two second girls there
Now they've written ad which I'm quoting
herewith:

angry at me or guess he is angry

times will not even speak to me.
He stays this way for day or two
and then acts the same as ever.
Why is this? Do you think he

or act the same as always. | have
tried to stop liking him and go
with some one else, l can not have
a good time. Why is this? Is it
all right for my chum and / to take
our boy friends to go to our fathers
show with US? Thanking you for
advice. BROWN EYES.
Dear Brown Eyes-Forget the
10y. He certainly must have a
Gisagreeable disposition and even
though YOU are young now, If you
continued to remain friends neither
of you would be happy. Probably
if you simply ignore the young
mans comeback advances he will
be more thoughtful of you in the
future and be more careful not 20
hurt you again. He may care for
you more than he himself really
thinks, but my advice to you would
be to go out with other young men
and forget him for a while. Thus /
giving him some cause to be jeal- /
jous. you may make him realize that /
he is not treating you fairly.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have
read about different people ask
ing your advice and so | come to /
ask you something. l am a girl
l3 years old and in our church
there is boy IA years old. He
and | were very good friends when
we were little and his mother lik-
ed me very much and still loves
me. Please tell me wether or not
| should ask him to sit with me in
church. 1 would very much like to
get acquainted with him again. We
were very good friends when WEI
were little and since he moved upi
on the hill | don't get to see him
often. YOURS TRULY.
My dear, l am afraid you arel
thinking too seriously of this boy.
You are both very young to be even
bothered about becoming reac-
quainted. Probably this young man
is not yet thinking of girls at all,
as should be the case. and he would
think you very foolish IL you
would try to make advances. II
l know boys of his age at all as
l think l do, it would embarrass
him dreadfully if you were to ask
him to sit in church with you. He
would frankly prefer to sit with
some boys Of his own age or in his
mothers pew. Don't think about
him. As you get older the young
man may wish to renew the ac-
auaintance of his childhood play
mate and he will do so Of his own,
accord.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 10
i and attending high school, l am u
| love with young man who Is two
years my senior. The last time he
called he told me be loved me
dearly. I have heard that he has
been going with other girls occa-
sionally and so told him that !
could not return his love. Did do
right? WORRIED.
The boy is too young to tell you
he loves you. Do not permit him
! to say such things. At his age he
should go with more. than one girl
and should not mantion laxA - 80

NlIllaM. lHdnK you LOT lue Su5
gestions for the hope box. Prob
ably there are many young girls
who would be glad to hear your
views on the matter. Many young
women have had very useful hope
chests and they have come in very
handy when they got into their own
home, as you state is the case IN
your home, where others have spent
many hours working on articles
which they have never used. l am
not discouraging hope chests, but
now is most certainly a poor time
to buv household linens. | would
advise everyone TO get along with
as little as possible at present. But
I am always glad to have young
men show interest and give me
suggestions.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | have
written to you several tunes ana
have decided to come back again
for advice. I am girl OF II. l
lave gone with boys since was Ia
wears old. which | know you VIII
say is entirely too young. lhey
have all been good, respectable
boys and | went with them to nave
a good time, but | never did any
thing | have regretted. All last
summer l went with a boy whom l
considered quite wonderful and my
folks seemed to do the same. he
came to see me about five nights a
week, but my mother did not object.
One evening my mother went to a
show and saw him with a crowd
of boys. They had all been drink
ing Since that mother has never
LEI ME go with him. She even tore
his picture up. He has since seen
me and has told me he thinks lot
of me. and has promised never to
drink again if l will go with linn. |
think more of him than OF any boy
| have gone with. Don't you think
nv mother too severe to me in
this case? l have tried to get her
permission to go with him, but
can not do it. Please give me ad-
vice on the subject His sister,
who is 16. and l used to be good
friends. Would it be all right for
me to continue going with her, OF
would it look like | was running
after him? Thank you.
BLACK EYES.
Dear Bright Eyes: l won't scold
you at all, for l believe you are the
kind of young girl who has moi
been hurt in the least by you'll
friends. l think it has really made
you very sensible, in fact. l fee
sorry for you, for it hurts to bt
disappointed in anyone, and mucf
more so when those we love turf
against our friends. l would ad
wise you to go to your mother ant
tell her that the boy has promised
you that he will not drink an!
more, and now that the country il
dry, he would in all probability
have to keep his word. And ash
her to give you both another
chance. Since she did not objec'
your having him for such good
friend before, probably she will ses
it as you do and let you help ths
boy.
