Please advise me on the fol-
lowing: What should you say when
young man tells you he loves you?
Can you tell me the stamp language?
am 5 feet eight inches and weigh
$50 pounds and am fifteen years of
age; is that too large for my height?
How is my handwriting? MUTT.
You can laugh at him and tell
him to quit teasing you, or you
can take him seriously and
start to weeping. But after all
is said and done, if you are so
young and ignorant it is Wisest
not to go with the boys at all.
Intuition" plays great part
in the life of every girl and boy.
You must learn for yourself the
proper thing to say at all times.
Do not start your career wrong
are soft" and will believe all
they tell you. Learn to judge
people, and the right thing to
say to them will come to you.
, Here comes another foolish lit
tie girl for home of your
with boy four years and as we have have
moved away from each other he only
comes over Saturday night and at
times. When he leages says he is
comes over Saturday night and at
maybe it will be month or two
before I ever see or hear from him.
Because he is jealous of me going
with other boys and don't want me
to notice any boy, but said he could
not marry as long as his mother
lived and I have learned to love
some other boy and he said he loves
me, but this same boy I was talk
ing abou says che never intends to
go with another girl if we ever fall
out. What would be best for me to
do and would you give a boy back a
watch bracelet if he gets angry
because I won't marry him? Now an
swer this. Is it any harm to let a
boy you go with regularly hug and
kiss you? CUTIE.
Then why waste your time on
the boy you have already kept
company with four years. if
YOU have learned to love another.
1t is foolish to put up with his
angry jealous whims if he says
he cannot marry you and your
love has grown cold toward him.
And if he wants his jeWelry
back the proper thing for you to
do would be to return all the
iewefry he has ever given you.
Surely you wouldn't want to
keep anything given you If the
nartv wishes it back again. 1t
is not right to permit familialc"y
from men.

to consider your friendship with
the girl a serious affair. There
is no law" in "Iovemaking" or
set rule. If the girl you have
been going to school with seems
friendly toward you, keep that
friendship by being always your
very best self.
L am coming to you for some adj
care anything about boys. I am
eighteen years old, and my husband
and 1 are separated, so I would like
to get a job in a department store,
or in a hospital. L think L would
make a good nurse.
Can you give me the address of a
good store in Rome, or Waycross, or
Savannah, that I could write to for a
job? Will you give me the address
of hospital in Savannah, where l
could get a job? Do they take mar
ried women in hospitals, to train as
nurses?
WORRIED GIRL.
This is q bad season of the
year to try for a position in
department store, as the bust
ness is growing somewhat dull,
and many stores are cutting
down their forces. However, [
would suggest that you write
Waycross and Rome, and in Sa-
the biggest stores. Write the Y.
w. G. A, employment depart
ment, Savannah, for information
about the hospitals that accept
girls for probationary training
as nurses.

1t depends largely on the man
himself, whether he is too old
for you. If he is settled in his
habits and doesn't care for young
people; if he has very decided j,

Parker pointed out one lazy man he
had never seen standing up; and he
had known him all his life.
In Montpelier Charles took me to

So far as visitors go, the scene in
New England in summer is much
the same as the winter scene in
Florida, except that in the eastern
! resort the crowds are greater, the
hotels more numerous and better,
and automobiles of a higher class.
At one place. think it was near
the Maine coast-we ran into a
stretch of fiat country which looked
much like Florida; including the
soil, which was sandy. Also the road
was lined with stands where fruits
and vegetables were offered. This is
also like Florida. But when we
reached the sea it was different; the
shore was rock bound instead of be-
ing lined with palms and sand
dunes. The summer visitors in New
England are like the winter visitors
in Florida in that they are an ex-
ceedingly creditable class, but more
Young people are seen in New Eng
land resorts than in Florida. | am

who go to Florida in the winter are
generally content to remain at

l recall, also, that we had bright
weather three days in succession,
which my guides said was almost I'M

In Florida many automobile tour
lists camp out, and towns provide au-
tomobile camps, with water, lights
and other conveniences. This is
rule almost everywhere, except in
New England; at least, saw no
camping parties there.
You may have a notion that New
Englanders are apologetic. Nothing
in it. A Haverhill, New Hampshire,
man when told l came from Kansas,
said: at will be hard on you going
back, having been here"
1t is said of the people of Haver-
hill that they believe that to be born

reasonable man.

| A thing every western visitor to
| New England will remark is the
thickly-populated graveyards. Funer-
ais have been common there since
the seventeeth century, and the re-
suit is an unusually large number of
cemeteries, all of them crowded. If
| the traveller pauses to examine the
inscriptions, he will find some of
them dating back to 1910, whereas
in my country, we have nothing to
, show older than 1854.
In addition, there are a good many
roadside monuments, which we do
not have in the West. One of these
attracted my attention, as it seems
to commorate about the most unset
fish man | have ever heard of. "a
pioneer of strong, unselfsh purpose"
the inscription read; "a patriot of
uncompromising fidelity; a soldier
unstained by personal ambition; a
citizen ever devoted to the public
good; an honest man who left moth
ing but his farm-all else he gave to
the public good He fought for his
country as long as he lived, and

name was Jacob Bailey, and he died
in 1779.
Gossip in New England dates back
long time. We lunched at near
by town, and l spoke of Bailey to
the landlord, saying that as l was
unread in history, l had not heard
of Good Man Bailey, and wished to
pnow more about him. The land
lord did not seem to care for the
hero: indeed, he said Bailey had
stolen an entire town in New Hamp-
shire.
In one town l saw large posters
everywhere reading: Notice is here
by given that organized labor is un-
fair with VIM Buckley
This, | thought, was entirely new.
And | was told by citizens that
Buckley was proving his charge.
1t is a mistake to suppose that New
England people are slow; that new
things are confined to the West. A
few miles above the town of Brad
ford, Vermont, ran across farm
err who has his own golf course.
Find, if you can, anything like that
in the West.
The next time you hear of Paul
Revere, a famous man, remember
that it is claimed in his home town
that VIM Dawes, Jr., was not as
pretty a name as Paul Revere, so
Longfellow left Dawes out of the
story.
Every famous man enjoys a lot of
credit which should be divided with
others. To this day many good
stories, entirely new, are credited to
Abe Lincoln.

did not seem to have a single store:
at least, l was unable to find one.
At cross-road a quarter of a mile
away there was general store which
sold pop corn, gum, maple sugar,
cove oysters, dry goods, gasoline,
boots and shoes, fruit and vegetables,
hardware, groceries, etc. l remem-
Der seeing a similar general store in
the mountains OF Kentucky, and
thinking it a wonder. When I went
into the Kentucky store, the propri-
etor was busy, although located in a
squalid village, and on the worst
road l had ever seen. The New Eng
land store was located on the best
Z road | had ever seen, near a hand
some town, but when | went in, the
place was empty: even the propri-
etor was out, piling his winters
wood.
The villages did not seem very old.
Perhaps this is the reason: l visited
one house said to be nearly two hum
fessed to me that nearly every part
of it was new, because of additions
and rebuilding. Nor did the trees
seem particularly large. H E Par
ker, who is a lumber man, said that
the forests renew themselves every
thirty-fve or forty years. We saw
what seemed to be virgin forests,
and Mr. Parker estimated that the
timber had been cut off three or four
times. In my home town in the
West, which dates only from 1854, we
have trees in house yards as large as
those l saw in house yards in New
England. have sugar trees of my
own, and which l planted, as large
as those from which maple sugar is
made in New England. The largest
and finest sugar trees | ever seen are
in the hills of the Missouri river, in
sight of my home. But while no one
makes maple sugar in the Missouri
river hills, everywhere in New Eng
land may be seen signs of maple
sugar for sale. Perhaps the ex-
PLANTATION is the demand for maple
sugar in New England in summer
from tourists, and the prices they
pay.
The quarrels in New England viii
lagos are over small affairs, as they
are in Moscow, London, Berlin, Paris,
Washington and everywhere. One
man was pointed out to me who
bitterly opposed the building of a
cement sidewalk in front of his
house, but the opposition was active,
and he was defeated. Thereafter the
man would not walk on the new i'm
provement: every morning, on COM

town, he jumped over the sidewalk,

struct it, and was eighty-three years

THE WOMAN POISoNER.

IF EVER n woman deserved the name
Mnrquise de BrinvlIers Her mis-
deeds shocked even medieval Europe
in a day when terrible crimes were
not unusual. This MarquiSe was a
pretty little woman. With an air of
youthful innocence. One day she was in
troduc ss4'y her husband to Godin de
st. CrolX, young cavalry officer of
gay ways. The scandal Of their rela-
ti0nS soon became a topic of the hour
When the husband of the MarQuiSe
failed to interfere. probably because
Of his flight before creditors, her
iather had st. CroiX put in the Bas-
sille. There the young blade medi-
Gated vengeance. means came to
nis hand through an acquaintance
made in prison with one EXili, a man
skilled in the methods of the Italian
.3Oisoners.
When st. Croix was released a year
later he plotted with the Marquise to
oa avenged on her father He told her
u the prisoners recipes, and she tried
sheir effect on poor people who came
to her door in search of aims. And
by watching the results she decided
that it was safe to attempt the life of
her parent. This she did with com
pete success in 1866
st. CroiX had been avenged But
more pressing matters weighed upon
him and his mistress. They needed
money. Then the natural question
arose why not poison her two brothers
and sisters so that she would Inherit
the whole estate? But these guilty
lovers were crafty. They waited four
long years, when the two brothers
were despatched, with the aid of a
valet. An investigation followed show
ing the method of their death, but
without directing attention to the
Marquise. Then st. Croix suddenly
died. He had no heirs, so the police
were called in, and found among his
papers documents which incriminated
the Marquise and the valet. The latter
gas caught, tortured and confessed.
Then he was broken alive on the
wheel. But the Marquise had taken
flight to England. Afterward she
went to Germany and finally to a
convent at Liege, where she was de-
coyed by a police official disguised as
a priest. When arrested 1t was dis
covered that this unnatural woman
had kept full account of her life and
crimes. She returned to Paris n pris-
oner. There she underwent the torture
in her turn and finally was beheaded

Mr.. BOwser was rather quiet all
night long. That is, he didn't protest
and threaten only once every fifteen
minutes. He was brought out of his
cell when court opened. He smiled at
the judge, but there was no returned
smile. The officer told how he saw
the boy stealing and he said there was
a Scullle, because the boy tried to bite
his hand. He told of Mr. Bowsers in
reference, and then Mr.. BowSer him
self was called to stand up. All he
said was:
HE was using the boy in a brutal
manner, and l felt called upon to in

"'Oh, you did, eh?" remarked the
judge. you are fined $50, or thirty

There were friends of Mr.. Bowser

Cadmium Found in Zinc Ores.

Cadmium, metallic element discov-
cred in 1917 by Stromeyer is not
found native, but occurs as the sui
phide in the mineral greenockite, and
in association with zinc ores. Green
ockite Is found In Bohemia and in
Hungary, and also in Lehigh county,
Pennsylvania, but in too small guam
titles to be of commercial Importance.
Cadmium Is constituent of most zinc
ores, and as 1t Is more volatile than
zinc it passes over first, In the reduc-
ton of such ores, as cadmium oxide.
This Is collected, mixed with charcoal,
and the mixture heated in iron tubes,
from which the cadmium distills over
in more or less impure state. In
order to purify 1t, the metal Is redis-
titled and the product dissolved in
hydrochloric acid, from which solution
metallic cadmium Is precipitated with
zinc. Most Of the cadmium of com
merce comes from Slesia, but small
quantities are produced In the Joplin
(Mo.) district.
