NARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TOIONElY GIRLS AT HOME

intends marrying you shortly,
my advice to you is to get rid of
him and try to find one more
worthy of your affection. Kiss
ing is not a very safe game at
any time. It has a tendency to
cheaper one, unless he means to
marry you.
I am boy of eighteen years. Is
it proper for me to take girls to par
ties at night? How long should a
boy stay when calling? Should a boy
kiss a. girl goodnight? How old
should a boy be before he gets mar
ried? Is it proper for boys to give
girls presents? If so, what should
he give? Should a boy and girl go
riding on Sunday afternoons? Is
it proper for boys to wink at the
girls? When a boy and two girls
are walking along the street, which
side should the boy walk on? How
long should boy and girl be en-
gagged before marriage? When boy
and girl goes to church, which one
should go in first? 1 thank you very
much for your advice. BLUEBIRD.
think it is perfectly proper
for you to take girls to parties
in the evening. 1t depends, of
course, on how well you know
young girl, but two hours seems
long enough for a call. It looks
nicer and they will think more of
you if you leave at 10 or 1920.
kissing a young lady goodnight
should not be INDUCED in. A
man should be at least twenty
four or five to marry. It is prop
er to give girls small presents
on birthdays, and Christmas; oc-
casionally a box of candy, if you
like her well enough. No, it is
not nice for boys to wink at
girls. The lady goes into the
church first, the gentleman di-
rectly behind her.
Hazlehurst, Ca, March 1, 1920.
Dear Madam: I am a lonely girl
coming to you for advice. 1 am a girl
of nineteen years, will be twenty in
April. I am five feet four inches
tall, weight los pounds, have auburn
ha1r, brown eyes, real fair complex
ION. Do you think I am pretty? Do
you think L weigh enough for my
age! L have been going with a boy
OF tWenty-four years of age; he
seems to think lots of me; he never
mas told me that he loved me, but
he told friend of mine. He doesn't
come very often. Do you think he
loves me. love him better than
any other boy. I would give my life
for him. I have correspondent with
another boy and he has asked me to
marry him. He says he loves me
better than any girl, but don't care
much for him, but I do love this
other boy very dearly. What would
you advise me to do? Please tell me
for I am troubled.

You are under weight. You
should weight at least 12O
pounds. Get plenty of sleep. in
the early part of the evening,
especially. Eat lots of yegeta-
bles, the starchy kind. I wouldn't

treat it lightly. The burdens of
married life are too great to car

every couples life after the knot

KILOGRAMS
ST. CROIX STA ION.

Sandy Hook, July 21st. -Resolute came
back today after two straight def eats
and won over the Shamrock. Shamrock
finished a scanu naif boat length ahead
with a lead IF 10 seconds, but as she had
gained p~erceptibty at the start the same
advantage, the race was mlraculOusly in
Yachting events a dead heat over the
thirty mile course. Resolute won by the
amount OF her handicap, 7 minutes and
one second The fourth race of the series
will be started Friday. 1t was a real yacht
race from the start and it proved a
finish riValling In clOSeneSs that OF a neck
and neck horse race. Resolute had taken
the lead early in her faVOurlte fifteen
mile beat to WindWard and rounding the
stake with about a quarter OF a mile
lead, slipped swiftly down the Wlnd With
spinnaker and balloon jib, topsalI bllloW-
ing superbly. But Shamrock would not
be denied and slowly but steadily ran up
in the intervening distance until with
little more han a mile to go her boWSprlt
reach then slowly began to creep past
the ReSolute'S stern. Inch by inch Sham
rock moved up and up. A mile from the
stake they were running neck by neck.
The Resolute caught a tiny extra puff OF
wind somewhere and crept up slowly

about even with the ShamrOck's tow

finish did not prove all the thrills
of the race. The Shamrock jockey
ing for position seemed to have OBJ
tanned the advantage on a starboard
tack in the weather berth, Resolute
offered little opposition electing to wait
for the port rack which came within

ward berth and pointed high up into the
wind. Capt Burton turned Shamrock's
nose further in toward the Jersey shore
and the two sioops travelling on diver
ging paths soon were nearly a half mile
apart. Specifically Shamrock appear
ed to have the advantage. But final
Iy when Shamrock tackled about two
miles off the Jersey Snore Capt. Adams
strategy was proved. He held Reso-
lutte on her course and the, yachts begun
to converge. 1t was d question which
would have the weather berth when they
met but Resolute gained it by a scant
100 yards. Then ensued an exciting
series of sharp tacks in which Sham
rock tried to cross Resolute's bow.
But it was Resolute's game and each
time apr. Adams swung her over she
had drawn a little further ahead of her
rival. Capt. Burton Tented twice 70
bring Shamrock about until her sails
tapped and then swinging her back
on the original tack, but he lost on the
manaeuvre for Capt. Adams refused to
be tricked. Finally Resolute gained
a point where Capt. Adams felt he could
make the mark on one long reach and
the defender turned er tail on Sham
rock and scudded away. Shamrock
quickly forsook her short tacks and
gave chase. She gained slightly on the
reach but ReSoiute beat her to the mark
by two minutes and four seconds, made
a close turn to windward and broke out
her great wind catchers with surprising
rapidity. Shamcock's turn was a bit
wider and she was slower bre king out
her spinnaker and balIooners and when
she did get them out there was a gap
of daylight between them, ResOlute
held her own on the home stretch un-
til Shamrock filled this gap with a lit
tie jib sail, This seemed to help her i'm
mediately and she begun to close up
the interval until she passed the defen-
der. 1t was a straight away slide down to
the finish with Shamrock getting the
better wind astern, the breeze soften
ing as the yachts ran along. Half way
to the finish Shamrock had cut Reso-
lute's lead in half, three miles from the
finish it had been brought to two hun
dred yards and a half mile from the
Iightship the two yachts were sailing
side by side. The Shamrock passed the
Reso!ute to ieeward and soon slipped
ahead and dashed for the line reaching
in 19 seconds before the Reso!ute. AS
this was exactly her lead at the start the

New York, July 21st.-For the first

shifted to Shamrock following her show

regarded as seven to five betting prop

es and held the attention of the au-

There are now four literary sOci-
