Keep your love to yourself, the deeper
IT Will grow, which Is not very good
thing for a girl Of II.
You need experience and variety
before you can choose wisely. Be a
wise little girl now and postpone your
thoughts of love until you are in your
twenties. You can do this If you push
aside thoughts Of the young man and
busy yourself with something.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
man of 1S years Of age and am going
with a pretty little girl Of the same
age.
We are deep in love but my father
doesn't want me to go with her. I do
not go with her only when slip out
from father. He gives me thunder
every time he hears I have been with
her. Her father does not care; he
likes me very well, and tells me to
come back again. I feel that my
father is too hard on me, don't you
Give me your advise.
Dear Marion c.: What is your faith
ers objection to your friendship-it is
foolish to talk Of love at your age
with this young girl? Has he given
no reason why he does not wish you to
further the acquaintance? II not ask
him, and try to ascertain his point OF
view. Then write me for advice.

Mrs. Solomon Says
Being The Confessions Of The
Seven-Hundreth Wife.
BY Helen Rowland


How long, o my daughter, wilt
thou continue to prosecute men with
they why's" and thy "wherefores?"
Verify, verify, as small boy hat
eth bath, as a Bolshevik abhorreth
a shave, as woman dreadeth the
word 'where"-so doth a man abom-
mate the word why"
For, alas, all the days of his life,
his ears have been afflicted with the
song Of woman, and the burden there
of is WHY"
"Why dost thou love me?"
"Why dost thou not love me-"
why art thou distrait?"
"Why art thou late?"
"Why can't we afford it? Why
can't l have it,"
Why dost thou never kiss me?"
why did / ever marry thee?'
Yet. with all her questioning, l say
unto thee, What woman hath ever I'M
yelled mans thoughts and heard
from his lips his real reason?
For his answer is always:
Because it's SOL"
Because | say SOL"
Because | do"
Because l WON'T"
because l want to-"
Because I will"
Because l think SOL"
Because l couldn't, because 1 did
not, because I forgot-and likewise,
"Oh. because!"
Wherefore, then, oh, thou foolish
one, wilt thou continue to seek to
reason" with a man?
For a man considereth that time
wasted which is consumed in EEK
planning" things to woman. And
he would rather be misunderstood"
all the days of his life than obvious
and intelligible!
Go to, go to! The unreasonable
ness of woman hath inspired the jest
OF the wit and the sermon of the
sage since the beginning of time.
But, l say unto thee, there is this
difference only between them:
woman can not reason,"
And man will not reason!
And, never so long as he Iiveth.
will any man tell any women WHY,
Verify, verify, l wonder why!
Selah.

she is such a wholesome girl; what
ever that means. ! took her up final.
ly to see some of my trousseau, ....u
she went into ecstacies over it. There
was a wistful look in her eyes as she
held up some Of the things against
herself, or maybe / just imagined it.
and she told me that l was a very
lucky girl to have such a wonderful
boy as Jack in love with me. l said
little to this.
Barbara seemed quite surprised that
l had made none of my clothes myself
She told me that she had been sewing
on her trousseau for years. 1t seems
that / am an exception, after all
Right then and there l made up my
mind to make an attempt to embroider
few of my new handkerchiefs my.
self, come what may.
Just before she left Cecil walked
into the room, and in spite of his
armor Of reserve seemed quite taken
by Miss Barbara. He seemed particu
larly pleased to hear that she would
be at the dance this evening, and talk
ed volumes to her.
Jack and l watched them in an
amused way. and fell into a private
conversation of our own. He told me
that things were moving rapidly fol
him, and that he expected to go clear
to the coast before my return from
Europe. Los Angeles is one of the
cities in his tour, so no doubt he will
have a chance to see some more OF
this fascinating cousin of his. He was
quite casual on this point when I men
toned it, and merely said he sup
posed so.
He and Barbara have just left, and
she snuggled up to him quite happily
in the car as they turned the corner
Maybe I just imagined this, though.

Women IN Politics
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE,
County Republican Woman's Chairman

Every woman in Wayne county is in
vIted to be present on Tuesday after
noon, April 20, at the informal recep-
ton to be given in the foyer Of the
Westcott Hotel to the candidates for
state, county and national offices who
will be in town to attend the Repub-
hcan meeting to be held in the Col
iseum on the evening Of that day.
The reception is under the auspices
Of the woman Republican chairman
and the precinct committee-women,
and is to introduce the women person
ally to each candidate. The hours are
from three to five.
Numbers OF questions having been
fired at the writer on account of the
action taken by her to get her name
printed on the ballot as delegate to
the Republican State Convention, for
the benefit of the women voters, the
following explanation is given:
Delegates to the state convention in
Indiana, both Republican and Demo
cratic, are elected at the primaries in
the spring.
What are the primaries" many
women ask
The primaries are the nominating
elections held by both parties to select
the man they want as their candidate
for office.
But delegates to the state conven.
ton must be elected, not nominated at
the primaries.
Why?
Because their function is to attend
the state convention and the latter is
always held in June.
In Wayne County Republicans can,
this year, have 25 delegates.
And these are apportioned according
to population.
The Fourth Ward in Richmond, in
which the writer lives, can have two
of these delegates.
Five persons in the Fourth Ward
have declared their intention of run
ming for delegate.
So that two out of the five must be
selected
The five include William Pickett.
James Fry, ]. P. Dillon, William Herr
Ter and Esther Griffin White.
The writer naturally hopes that she
will be one of the two to be elected
and calls the attention of every voter
in the Fourth Ward to the fact that she
is a candidate
Aio" Souiu you SCI Ou lue TICKET
the state board of election commission
ers and the attorney general of
Indiana ruled against women being
eligible as delegates?"
Because the final decision in the
placing of the names on the ballot
rests with the county board of election
commissioners.
Why did they put it on after they
had announced they would leave it
eff?
Because the writer's attorney ex-
amined the law and found that there
was no reason why the name of a
woman as delegate to the state con-
vention should be left off, since no
qualifications are specified in the laws
governing the activities of candidates
for delegates.
And nothing could be binding until
it was passed upon by court.
The attorney generals statement
was merely an opinion and not the
law.
By qualifications" is meant that the
! law does not say the delegate must be
d voter" Or a man" or a woman"
| But if it comes to being a voter, 1t
! IS a fact that Indiana women are now
voters. Not going to be.
Many men seem unable to under
stand that the women are here
| politically.
A disagreeable fact that must be
accepted with the best grace posi-.
| tle.
