the habit of patting people on the

There Is nothing in all the world so

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
sixteen years of age I wish to know
if I am too young to start out with
the young people. I belong to a young
peoples society in a church near my
home.
A girl friend of mine and two boys
friends go together just for a good
time. We are not in love of course
as we would be if we were older.
I have gone to a few parties and
my brothers all brag on how nice I
act in a crowd ofyoung people AS
there aren't any young people just my
age enjoy being in a crowd a little
older.
Do you think it all right for me to
start out with young people if 1 act
all right2 BLONDE
1t would be all right for you to
have company in your home occa-
sionaIly and to attend church and
neighborhood parties.

''The mystery of woman can not be

young man remarked. Conservation

to keep ourselves separated by great
distance even when we were near

"You will have little to look at on

After a fifteen minute conference
in his office in City Hall with William
Randolph Hearst, Mayor Hylan an
nounced to-day that he would not be
a candidate for Governor at the com
ing election under any circumstances.
This statement from the Mayor is
considered final and puts at rest all
rumors to the effect that lie will be
trotted out at he last moment instead
Of Hearst.
81 will not be a candidate Tor Gov
ernor under any circumstances, -
said Mayor Hylan in a reply to di-
rect question. THE main reason for
my refusal is tho fact that the
people of this city have reelected me
for a term of four years. / am their
servant. have promised to serve
am going to keep my promise.

the Executive Mansion. I'd have to
live in n hotel or a furnished room.
The Mayor was asked if Mr.. Hearst
had expressed his Willingness or de.
sire to be the Democratic candidate for
Governor. The Mayor replied: mo,
he didn't. He said, however, that he
was anxious to see the control of the
State taken from the public utility cor.
porations and given to the people.
IT said it looked to me as if the
public utility corporations controlled
the Republican party and that the
Republican party does the bidding of
the corporations, and that the only
hope left the people is TO have nomi-
mated by the Democratic party can
didates who will stand by the people.
Il stated further thu t the time has
come for someone thoroughly to rep
resent the people in their fight
against big corporate control here"
Asked just what the object OF
Hearst's visit was, the Mayor replied
"He called to ask me to point out
definitely what l thought he ought t.
do to restore the State to the people
told him to do just as Samuel j
Tilden had done to build up the Dem
