WITH MANS APPROVAL

All honor to the mayor of Boston,
the birthplace of culture and the home
of beans.
His Honor has approved the wear
ing of knickerbockers in daily life by
the women of his city, and there is
not gasp. He sees in this innova-
ton greater freedom Of movement,
increased health, and degree of fem
mime modesty superior to that of the
present mode of dress.
And possibly he is right.
Women are always hampered in
their movements by trailing or cling
ing skirts, and especially is this so by
those who earn their daily bread.
Skirts are hot in summer and unsan-
itary at all times. They are a nui-
sance and an ever increasing source
of expense. There is no reason why
they should not be sidetracked in ia
vor of garments that are more sane,
sensible and economical in every way.
When knickerbockers make their
appearance they viii be criticised, but
if the throwing of stones is restrict
ed to those who are themselves with
out fault there win be but few of
them thrown.

VERY MUCH AWAKE

There may have been a time when
the residents of small country town
or farming district took little or no
interest in affairs outside of their own
local community, other than to vote
their straight party tickets at election
time.
But that time is not now. 1t has
not been for many years.
The man behind the counter or the
pillow is just as vitality interested in
state and national affairs as is his
cousin in the great city.
The foreign news is just as care
fully scanned from day to day, and
the field of research and invention is
religiously scrutinized.
There is little that transpires in the
world of affairs that is not known and
understood by the man in his rural
home, for it is through his constant
search for advanced knowledge of a
practical nature thai lie is enabled
to keep pace with the swiftly moving
tides Of life.
I Just comparison could be made
it is probable that, man for man, the
person in the country town or on the
farm would be found to be better
posted on the affairs of the world in
general than the average dweller OF
any of the great cities.

STAYED ON ISLE
OF CORSICA FOR
SILENCE CURE

Paris-Former Premier Clemen-
ceau took his recent silence cure
in a medieval castle perched 1900
feet above the blue waters of the
Mediterranean at Olivese, on the is
land of Corsica.
Nicholas Pietri, the owner of the
castle, has been a lifelong friend
and newspaper associate of Gle
menceau. Pietrie is as deaf as the
proverbial post.
Il have travelled a lot since the
armistice," the former premier Is
reported to have said, but in India,
Egypt, the SOudan, everywhere |
have been, l have had to talk too
much. Now what / want is silence
Am l sure to get that with Pietri?
He is so deaf that l won't be tempt
ed to volunteer any small talk to
him and he is very tactful in not
asking questions, realizing that the
effort required for me to answere
him is too much for my old lungs"
Despite Clemenceau's plea of
weakness and his age-S1 years-he
looks as sturdy as the oaks sur
rounding the castle.
There are those who insist that
the Tiger intends to reenter the
political arena and that in the
peace and quietness Of the little is
land which gave birth to Napoleon,
he has been preparing for a reentry
into public life that may be almost
as startling as that of the little cor
poral.

Dear Mrs Thompson: / have
started my fall term at school and
I hate my teachers and the work
I never did like Latin and now that
I am in my second year can't en-
dure it. ! want to leave school and
work and my father says he will
not let me. Do you think he ought
to force me to go to school when
am so unhappy there? Mother
says it is up to father and me to
decide. UNHAPPY.
Your father looks ahead and sees
life if you leave school now and
have to face the world with a
limited education. He is quite right
in insisting upon your going to
school because it is without a doubt
better for you.
Study harder and look for some
thing interesting in each subject
teacher and you will be happiE
and something lovabIe in each
teacher and you will be happier.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a
girl of thirteen, very tall for my
age and am considered cookbook
ing. / go around with some nice
girls who are of the same religion
as l am but they all seem to be
f1irts. 1 am allowed to go with
girls who are of different religion,
but go with the ones of my re-
ligion mostly, because my parents
wish it.
l care for boys, but l never used
| to f1irt, but since l have been keep
ing company with these girls l am
beginning to fiirt. l have tried and
tried to get out of flirting, but it
seems as though 1 can't My par
ents like these girls. l wouldn't
! want to lose their friendship.
Please give me your advice.
My parents object when I talk to
boys. Do you think it is on account
of our religion? RELIGION.
Flirting brings heartache in the
end. 1t spoils good regulations and
makes it impossible for girl to as
sociate with desirable people. Abb
solutely refuse to f1irt. When your
friends see your attitude they may
! be Influenced by it and reform, but
if they do not drop them and look
for girls of your own kind whether
they are of your religion or not. 1t
is the kind of character person
has that counts and not the kind of
religion. Your parents do not OBJ
ject to your talking to boys on &C
count of religion; they know you
are too young to do SO. The happi-
ness of a lifetime hangs in the bal
ance of how you conduct yourself
now
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a

reason or another l did not marry

Since then l have gone with three
different girls and l merely like all
three Do you think l would make
a mistake by marrying without
love so that l can settle down, have
a wife and home and children?
TOM.
1 would not advise you to marry
without love. Do not search so
hard for a wife because you are
trying to force love which should
be divinely sent Remember the
saying that if you chase love it will
fee from you, but if you fee from
love it will follow you. 1t would
be a sad thing to find yourself mar
rIed to a woman you do not love
and in love with a woman you can
not have because you have forced a
marriage which did not come
naturally.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: NV fam
lily lives in another state, but am
working here. We used to live
here until l was 10 years old and
so l came back where my friends
are.
\ cousin of mine who is about
my age is married and has two
children. She and the children
want to go away for a visit and my
cousin has asked me to stay in the
house with her husband and the
cook while she is away. l spend
about half my time at the house
and so L know her husband very
well. He is a fine, trustworthy
man. The cook is a woman of
about 35. Her husband is dead and
she stays with my cousin because
it is a good home.
Do you think it would be all right
for me to stay at my cousins home
under the circumstances. Her rea-
son for asking me is because she
knows 1 have an unpleasant place
to room and she thought it would
be less lonesome for her husband
having me around
In my heart l know it would be
foolish to say that I will not stay
What would you advise me to do?
JENNIE
I would advise you to accept
your cousins offer since you know
that she really wants you and ev-
erything will be all right.
"The Girls: Your question
about entertaining for a Sunday
school class party would take too
much space and time. There are
books on the subject of entertaining
and often the women's magazines
print interesting games.
