Dear Mrs. Thompson: My par
ents invited a young man up to our
house for dinner one evening about
a year ago. entertained him dur
ing the evening and fell deeply in
love with him. He certainly is a
model young man, does not smoke
or chew. He is % and l and Fl. He
has very good Job in a well-known
shop and / know a host of people
who are acquainted with him and
say that he is one fellow in a thou
sand
AS soon as I met him l quit all
of my other boy friends and also
quit dancing for him All went
! lovely until one day he called up
and told me he was going back
with his old girl friend who lives
across the street from him.
never met her, but by the way he
always talked she is a very fine
young lady. 1 have invited him 10
several times, but he always told
me he could not keep company with
two girls at once. I really thought
he was engaged until l saw him
downtown last summer in his new
car. He took me for a ride. l
asked him about the young lady
neighbor and he told me that she
seemed to think more of someone
else. But / really could see that
he was heartbroken.
We have been out several times
since, but | think he is still think
ing about her instead of me. The
last several times l invited him up
he never came and I know he is net
going with anyone else. How can
l get his love back? Please do not
tell me to forget this young man
as l really think he is one in a
thousand. HEART-BROKEN.
To try any further to get the
young man to come back would be
running after him, a thing for
which he would like you less than
ever. You have more than done
your part bye inviting him to come
to see you, and since he has not
come there is nothing left for you
to do but to forget him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
widow lady 50, years of age and
have very bad health. 1 have two
sons. My older son is the only one
who is any help to me- The young
er IS not much help. He throws his
money away. l keep house and do
the washing and all the work. 1
have two boarders and they are n Vi
much help. They only pay board
half the time. I have a notion to
break up housekeeping. Please ad-
wise me what to do. JIM
Since you have poor health I do
not think you ought to keep on
with such hard work. If you are
financially able to give up keeping
boarders I would advise you to do
so. You have not mentioned the
ages Of your sons and cannot,
therefore, know whether they are
old enough to be deprived of their
home. Perhaps you and the boys
could get smaller quarters where

Suggestions.

S0SStbllUuSs
Pie crust in which cold boiled
rice has been mixed with the short
ening is fine and more nourishing
for the children.
If an egg which is to be boiled IS
cracked on the end or side, crack it
on the opposite end or side before
placing it in boiling water. This
will prevent the white of the egg
from running out.
The quickest way to peel beets is
to wipe them off with a cloth.
Potatoes should be washed in
quantities to save time daily in the
preparation of meals. Besides DO
tatoes cleaned and thoroughly dried
requires less time and gas to bake.
Apliqued designs on curtains,
etc, may be easily and quickly ap-
piled by glueing at the point.
Though, of course. these must be
renewed with each washing; still
it is better than having colors
run" as they frequently do.
To make an ironing board on
which it is a joy to iron, take one
roll of cotton batting such as is
used for comforers. Spread the
cotton batting evenly over the
board and fasten over this a cover
made from unbleached muslin.
lacking it down around the sides
of the board. An extra length Of
muslin or unbleached muslin which
can be easily washed should be used
as an outer cover.
Keep the cloth with which you
oil furniture in a tightly closed
tin can. In this way you can use
the cloth for an indefinite time. If
it is kept in any other way the oil
oozes on everything it touches. BY
this method oil is saved, besides en-
joying the conveniences of having
the proper cloth always ready.
Spinach cooked, chopped. season
ed and nodded is extremely whole
some with an egg sauce
Scratches and marks on mahog-
any may be stained with iodine,
then polished with any good furni-
ture polish.

Very few girls enjoy popularity

because boys seem to like Won ana

ably you want some one to love vo,,
and propose marriage. At your age
it is only natural that your friends

when they come to see YOU and
when they do not to be satisfied
with the companionship Of yonr
girl friends.
Dear Mrs. Thompson. Is it right
for a man who is divorced from

nine years to call her my wife,
She broke up his heart and home
by being too familiar with Other
men. Please tell NE what he
should call her when he speaks Of
her, which is very often.
MOTHER.
Since the man speaks of his for
mer wife so often she must still h
dear to his heart. Doubtless il
gives him pleasure to refer to her
as my wife" If I were in your
place l would not interfere in the
matter and I would let him call her
whatever he wishes. To be exact
he would have to call her my for
mer wife" or mention her first
name.

Notes by Wjre|
to The ArqusI

London, Feb. 1S.-"Toast," that
new shade which in French is
pain brule" or burnt bread" has
made its appearance here together
with the other delectable tint
known as Maroon Glace. With the
tailored suit, which is once again
enjoying the widest popularity, It
is considered sWagger to wear
toast brown blouse headed with
crystal or amber. The smartest
blouses are almost as long as
smocks, and give the straight con-
tours with the low waist line so
well liked for spring. Three-uuar-
ter length sleeves are in" again
for blouses, although sleeves are so
varied in length, shape and deco
ration that one may take ones
choice from huge variety.
New York, Feb. 1S.-The summer

that it will be remarkable if. WON

away before the styles change and
the lounging robe grows less allur-
ing. Black lace and black chiffon
are being largely used, not so much
as mere decorations but in the
form of an over dress. A scarlet

georgette in all tones from orange
through dandelion to palest butter
cup and primrose, is enhanced two
void when shrouded in black lace.
Bronze or furnished gold panels of
lace or brocade are also effective.
Paris. Feb. 1S.-Navy blue hats
have sprung into sudden and in
tense popularity. They are rs
pally of straw and fit the head very
closely. The severity of the line is
somewhat relieved by youthful, 18th
century steamers of changeable
taffeta ribbon ending in a silk or
satin flower. Many of the navy
blue hats have changeable taffeta
leaves wreathed about the crown
or punched cleverly alongside. The
trimming generally keeps to navy
and pale blues, with a suggestion
or gold in the changeable taffeta
and perhaps the merest touch af
