Wants Him Back

Dear Miss Lee l am a girl 18 years old.
! met boy about a year ago and fell madly
in love with him. At first he seemed to
like me fairly well. but it soon died l am
sure il because l ran after him. But
now | have come to my senses and I want
to try to win him. How would you advise
me to win his affections? How can I man
age to meet him? HEARTBROKEN.
1t always is harder the second time.
I do not know how you can manage
to meet him, for l do not know much
about the circumstances. Possibly
you could meet him through a mutual
acquaintance. Then just act friendly,
and be careful not to Overdo it.
But don't work 50 hard on this
job" You are still quite young and
should have many men friends, not
Just one.

Mother Should Be Par
From ChiIdS Viewpoint

some one whom she will love deeply,
and she will want to save her kisses
for him.
1t would be a shame for the boy
to miss the opportunity to go to col
lege, if he has the chance. Why
doesn't he let his father pay part of
his expenses and work to earn part,
if his pride stands in the way? That
should solve his problem.

One Must Sacrifice

Dear Miss Lee: 1 am 10 and have been
going with a fellow for two years. We are
certain we love each other, but religion
stands between us. Neither of us can be-
lieve the other ones way though we never
quarrel over this matter or try to change
the others belief. We have tried to stay
apart but it seem impossible. Please tell
me what is the right thing to do.
WAITING.
Difference of religion is a hard OBJ
stacle for a young couple to over
come If you expect to be married,
you must decide in which religion
your children would be reared. It
will mean a sacrifice for one of you.
If neither Of you feel equal tc the
sacrifice, you had better part again.
Do it now, while you are young
enough TO forget, if at all.

The modern mother tries to be d
pal" to her children, so that they
will confide in her.
That is the trouble. In treating
her daughters as pals or sisters, ="
she may then grow up too quickly, by
bringing them up to her grown-up
view of problems, rather than coming
down to their little girl view.
1t is a danger the modern mother
must counter.

"The fact that the reported viola.

per cent in 1922 may lead to mis-
conception as to the spread Of the
use Of narcotics by addicts," said
an official Of the narcotic division.
"What the increase really proves IL
that we have had greater co-opera-

In surveying the dope situation care

Danger Not Minimised.
No disposition is shown on the
