/ am a girl of twenty coming to
yo@- for advice. 1 am going with
several boys. Two of them I have
known for two year, one who is
about .twenty-four. went to France
and since he came home doesn't seem
like the same boy. He is notionfied
and don't know what he does want
to do; while the other one, who is
twenty, just about five months
younger than me seems to be
fine boy and says he loves me very
much and has proved it so far. Is
he too young for me to marry?
Which would make the best hus-
band? I have jet black hair, light
brown eyes, fair complexion. What
colors would suit me best? How
long should I wear my dresses? If
a boy should bring a girl of box
of candy should she open it or wait
until he leaves?

strength of character enough to
be sincere and unassuming,

take for a girl to marry a man
younger than sheiS. 1t is bet
ter for a wife to have a sense
of dependence on her husband and
a respect for his better 1udg-
ment: and unless he is several
years older than she, he prob
ably will not be fitted to assume
responsibility. You can wear all
colors, though brown, tan, soft
shades of yellow and soft old rose
are most becoming. 1 would
open the candy and ask the boy
to enjoy it with me.

doesn't seem to care for me. We
moved about ten miles from his

to come to see me. He has car.

LONELY GIRL.
ANSWER.-I think that ten
miles is very short distance for
a man to go to see a girl when
he has a car. 1 believe that if
he cared very much for you he
would find time in which to go to
see you. I would not let him
know how much { cared for him.
Be friendly and amiable always,

making it too obvious. Always
try to dress as we'll and look as
well as you can. Learn to arrange
your hair in a tidy and becoming
manner. Choose the colors that
look we'll on you and wear plain,
Well-made hats and dresses
Learn to make your dresses by
the simple, pretty styles now the
fashion. You know you can buy
tissue paper patterns by which
to cut your dresses. They are
easy to use and the dresses are
always attractive that are made
by them. Also it would be in
teresting to learn to sew well.

Lemon for Shoes

One of the best and quickest ways
to clean tan shoes is to rub the soiled
parts with a half lemon. When the

er has become thoroughly dry, the
shoes may be polished in the ordt-
nary way.

There was no opportunity for action

speech that he began Friday. Not
until few moments before ad-

the floor to propose a unanimous

Party leaders undertook yester-
day to poll the Senate. They sought
first to learn how many Democrats
would vote for adoption of the modi-
fled Lodge reservation on Article Y,
and then to ascertain the prospects
for ratification of the treaty. They
concluded from their survey that
the substitute reservation will be
adopted on Monday by a majority
of about fifteen votes.
Although Democratic leaders
working for the compromise reser-

eight Democratic votes for 1t, they
made it clear that such pledges did
not go so far as to promise support
of the resolution of ratification. if

Thus far direct primaries have

political bossism.. But they have
their value as a means OF so indi-
eating public sentiment. as to infiu-
ence, IL not to command the boss.
Perhaps more cannot be demanded
or expected. Three weeks this year
will elapse between the Repub-
lican and the Democratic conyen-
tions. A rigidly bound Democrat
convention would be helpless to
take advantage of any blunder made
by its rival at Chicago. A conven-
tion of uninstructed delegates would
be free to take such action. and to
respond at the same time to public
sentiment indicated at the pri-
maries without effort at absolute
dictation. 1t is obvious that this
