Heart and Beauty Problems

some other girl, but when / do the
same he gets real angry.

would like your advice with which one
I should keep company. L have my
choice. ANXIOUS.
1t is not necessary to give up either.
Tell the young man who objects that
you are too young to go with only one
person.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a girl
Of fifteen and wish to ask some of
your avdice. At different times sew
eral of the girls at the school where
l go, have told me that they thought
that 1 was one of the prettiest and
incest girls of that school, AS have
pimples on my face, they said that
spoiled my looks a little but other
ways 1 was very pretty. Do you real
ly think they meant it? Could you
suggest anything that would be good
to remove pimples and not make my
skin rough? l do not go or have any
thing to do with the boys much Do
you think should? PUZZLED.
Don't always believe what the girls
of your school tell you about your
beauty, as they are trying to make you
vain. For your face use a good soap,
skin cream, acne cream and tissue
builder. 1t is always best to have
boy friends.

Why would she rather be BLASE-

Go to! l charge thee let no woman
call herself a "cynic", until she hath
been married, at least once! For a

Moreover, thou Foolish One, if thou
wouldst be a sincere Cynic, thou must

For 10, Cynic is but Sentimental
list, in whose heart, the wine of love
hath turned to vinegar-a dreamer
whose sweetest dreams have soured on
her hands-an idealist, who. hath been
caught gathering the flowers of imagin
alton by the wayside, when the thun'
dershower of Fate broke over her.
Likewise, if thou wouldst be an
honest Cynic, thou must have LOVED
much and often.
For thus only shalt thou learn that
one mans words are as smooth as an
others, one mans chin is as rough as
anothers, and one mans promises as
brittle as anOther's. Thus only shalt
thou discover that masculine love" Is
but a fantasy of spring, consisting
mainly of moonlight, curiosity, and
imagination; and that mans love Of

thou must first have been "platonit

For, how else shalt thou discover, that

Verify, verify, thou shalt have heark

Thou shalt have dallied with E

How then, shall any Damsel hope tt

For life is like unto a cream-puff, a

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am 16 years
of age and am sophomore in high
school. l am as popular as any of the
other girls and am as well liked by the
boys, but somehow the boys seem to
Ike me just to talk to and nothing
more. They never ask me for dates
and never put themselves out any to
take me places. Some girls seem so
lucky and still they seem to me loud
and forward. Why is this? Do you
think IT right for a girl to draw a
fellow to her side when he is talking
with a crowd of people? I am anxi-
GUS to know what to do.
PATIENCE.
1t Is impossible to say definitely why
the boys do not ask to take you places.
Probably, however, they consider you
too young and do not think Of you as
a possible sweetheart. At the age of
sixteen you have little cause to
worry.
Do not be critical of other girls. If
a boy leaves crowd of people to talk
with some girl, he probably does so
voluntarily and not because she draws
him away.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
girl and in love with a young man of
Is. We have been keeping company
for about ten months. He tells me he
loves me very much, but when there is
another girl friend of his around he
gives her all his attention and leaves
NE.
Please advise me whether I should
keep company with him and how /
could attract all of his attention.
HOPEFUL.
You are too young to think serious
ly of love. Do not permit the young
man to talk to you on the subject. At
the age Of eighteen it is only natural
that he should enjoy more than one
girl, but under the circumstances he
should not talk Of love to any one
Give up all thought of having his I'm
, divided attention and enjoy him as
friend and not a sweetheart.

pany with fellow % years old. H,

What's in a Name
LUCRETIA
(Copyright)


Though Lucretia was the name
borne by the notorious daughter of
the Borgia, it is one of the quaintest
and most old-fashioned of names in
this country. 1t is far cry from
ancient Rome to modern New England,
but the name has completed the tran
sition with very few changes to mark
the successive stages of its evolution.
There are two theories among ety.
mologists in regard to the original
source of Lucretia. Some contend that
It comes from the Latin word Lucrum,
meaning gain" and for that reason,
Lucretia is said to signify gain. On
the other hand, there is much evidence
to prove that it's real source was in
the Latin word for light, lux. Many
feminine names have been derived
from this root and the same word has
supplied surnames without number.
It IS believed. therefore, that the
noted old gems Lucretius from which
Lucretia is directly descended, was
only another Of the derivatives OF lux
"Lucrece. combing The fleece, under
the midnight lamp" the famous old
Roman tale. inspired Shakespeare to
write one of his earliest poems. De
spite her notoriety, Lucretia Borgia
probably established the name of Lu
cretia in Italy and in early modern
times 1t was one of the few classical
names to be revived.

Life and Death q Unity.

Life is q state which follows upon
death. Death Is a state which pre-
:edes life. Which Of us understands
the laws that govern their succession7
The life Of man Is the resultant OF
forces. The aggregation Of these forces
is life; their dispersion, death. II.
then, life and death are but consecu'

for sorrow have I?
And 80 1t is that all things are but
phases Of unity. What men delight
in Ii the spiritual essence Of life. What
they loathe 10 the material corruption
Of death. But this state Of corrup-
ton gives place to that state OF spif-
ituality and that state Of spirituality
gives place In turn to this state OF
corruption. Therefore We may ray
that all in the universe 10 comprised
