to see me three times a week. He
really loves me but ! have my les
sons to study. Would you ask him
to come only twice a week?
SwEETIE.
I certainly would. And you are
wise little girl. -
Dear Miss Blake: I would like to
have you give. your opinion of this
case. I have been going with q
young lady for some time and until
recently we were the best of friends.
Suddenly her manner towards me
changed and now she hardly speaks
to me. don't think that I-have
offended her in any way to, cause
this change. ...
Please tell me how to find the
cause of this condition. Please IA
vor me with an early reply. s.
JOHN X.
Looks to me as IL she were tired
of you. would ask If she were
displeased, and IL she replied to the
contrary, would get quite naughty
and leave her entirely. II she's only
doing it to. be flirtatious. she'll
show it--And. IL not. why, you's best

got that much before" she demurred.
Tell him Mr.. Reynolds sent you,
or. there's no need OF fibbing. Say
that the girl Mr.. Reynolds sent could
not come. and sent you instead. That
ought to be reference enough. Mr.
Reynolds can call me up. IL he wants
to know more"
Gee" the girl said again. but a
new vibration was in that voice, and
new courage was born with the
thought that someone would speak
for her. e. that she had references!
do you think I could do it?' she
appealed. and Jane then undertook a
little sermon.
Remember. you can do anything.
Don't you believe in God?"
II used to- she admitted.
Why don't you go back to the
farm? Jane asked.
They're dead now-my folks,
she whispered. and again fondled the
dog hungrily. Gee. l used to love
my dog" and she put her head down,
overcome once more.
Mrs. Richards came in then and
fixed the beds. Anyone who lives In
a one-room apartment, with only
kitchenette and dressing room to stiI
about in, will appreciate the extent
Of their hospitality. James mother
was all sympathy. whispering aside,
ITO think that she had nowhere
to go tonight! And she was hungry
too, 1 can't wait until breakfast
when l can fix some nice ham and
eggs for her. She will pick up when
she gets proper nourishment," she
added practically.
And I have an idea that she
could live very cheaply in the house
across the way. Mrs. Rogers Is TAX
ing boarders. and 1t would be nice
to have her come over for a bit Of
mending and washing and ironing"
And to dinner now and then" Jane
recommended.
she'll be a new girl" Mrs.
Richards promised happily. Just
then Hattie emerged from the
dressing room. wrapped in a gay
japanese kimona Jane had given her
She looked almost pretty. The colors
brought her out. Jane was prompted
to go further with her protege. and
produced blue serge suit and white
dimity blouse.
Here. Hattie. II you want to wear
this suit and waist, It might help
you to get a place. I think ii would
be better for business than that black
silk dress with the beads"
Yes, the beads are all hanging
on anyway" Hattie observed.

Your dress for spring may be

unusual sleeves. Plain sleeves are
taboo this year save In the most
strictly tailored frocks for street
and business wear and even these
often boast a fare sleeve. The cape
sleeve. the bishop sleeve, the peas
ant sleeve and the oriental sleeve
are but few of the styles which
make the new spring gowns dis

trimming on a gown 1t is confined
to the sleeves and in many instances
a gown of plain material features
sleeves of fancy, material such as
paisley or oriental silks. These aft

three sleeve styles which are at

Beauty Answers.

Mary Malone: Mary. I'm going to
scold you for saying disparaging
things about yourself. even to me.
1t is a deadly habit. and don't you
let 1t grow! You can make a
nuisance Of yourself to yourself and
to others by that habit. Some wise
sage said: .Boasting Is vulgar, but
self-deprecation is more So" You
kill your own self-respect. Your
one ailment cannot make you hope
less, else everybody In captivity
would be hopeless. for no one lives
who is art and beauty perfect.
Now. after that. just send along a
stamped addressed envelope for the
pamphlet on care of the complexion
in which you will find your par
ticular trouble treated broadly.

N. G.: For brittle nails soak the
finger tips in slightly warm sweet
almond or olive oil. The liquid may,
be put into a cup at a depth just
sufficient to cover the finger tips.
The same oil may be used several

try. In this case the charge is lodged,
whether justly or not, against the
post Office inspectors. Postmaster
Roland M. Baker has recommended
no less than 100 promotions of clerks
in the Boston Office and SO, far it has
been found impossible to secure ac-
ton upon any of these recommends
tions. Moreover, it is said to be mat
ter Of record that the inspectors not
only have been hesitant to aid in the
making Of promotions but no less
than % Republican clerks actually
have been recommended for demo-
ton.
If these conditions are duplicated
in other large cities, as the politicians
declare they are, it is obvious that
when DR.. Hubert Work succeeds Post
master-General Hays he will find him
self subject to much criticism for con-
ditions over which he will have little
or no control. The Republican party
will be praised or blamed as the case
may be, for it's administration or the
civil service regulation, or executive
order, requiring the examination of
applicants for postmastership, I'm
der the Burleson regime and the ex-
ecutive order of President Wilson, the
man standing at the top of the list
was supposed to be chosen, and u.s.
ually was. The Harding administra-
ton modified the order by permitting
the selection to be made from among
the first three; and Postmaster Gen
eral Hays, who is something OF a
politician, having been chairman Of
the Republican national committee,
has been accustomed to call in con-
gressmen and ask their advice regard
ing the appointment of one candidate
out OF the first three at the top of
the list
This procedure no doubt is good pol
itics, for an administration is never
criticised at least by the politicians
supporting it, for taking care of it's
own, but it may not appeal quite so
warmly to the advocates Of civil serv-
Zee reform. - Boston Transcript.
