Dear Mrs. Thompson: About a
month ago my girl friend and l
were walking in the evening and
two boys walking on the other side
of the street fiirted with us. We
just laughed a little and they came
over and asked if they might walk
with us. My girl friend told them
they could. We walked until 10
O'Clock and then they took us home.
The boy l was with made a date
to meet me the next night. l went
but it was raining and he didn't
show up. But the next Saturday
night my girl friend and L were out
walking and the boys caught sight
Of us and Joined US. That night my
friend and l got separated from
the other two and after long
walk we went home and stayed on
the porch until 1890. He asked
me if I loved him and I told him I
did. We made date for the next
night and he didn't come
Now when l meet him on the
street he doesn't look at me. Should
1 speak first? I love this boy very
much and l cant see why he has
changed so much unless he has
heard some lies about me. Should
1 ask him what is wrong?
BETTY.
A girl cannot expect to let boy
pick her up on the street and then
keep his respect. The thing which
has happened to you is only natur-
al. The boy does not want to speak
because he does not consider you
respectable. In reality he is not
respectable either, but some men
think they can do such things and
not be found out.
In the future do not permit men
to flirt with you. If they try to,
walk straight ahead and pay no at
tention to them. Also stay off the
streets at night unless you are es-
corted by an older person. 1t is
indeed a tragedy for a girl to lose
her good reputation. Unless you
stop this sort of thing at once
great deal of unhappiness is ahead
of you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are
two girls who dress neatly, comb
our hair neatly, but we don't seem
to attract boys at a dance. Some
girls who wear short dresses and
have their hair bobbed have boys
to dance with. We don't like the
other girls actions or the way they
dance. We always dance decently.
Do you thiRk' we ought to follow
their eXample?~

Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am p
years of age and have been keep
ing company with young man two
years my senior for about five
years. We have been engaged for
almost two years and had planned
on being married this summer.
My mother would not consent be-
cause she SAYS she cannot afford
wedding We did not ask her to
do this but she claims it is her
duty.
He has saved enough to furnish
coy home and l know we would
live very happily. We love each
other very much and he thinks
am old enough to decided for my
self 1 promised to give him my
answer in two weeks whether or
not I will marry this summer as l
will have to ask my mother.
Please advise me whether or not
I am doing right by telling him
will marry this summer. Do you
think my mother is doing justice to
me by not consenting TO our mar
riage? Please give me your ad-
vice on this question because 1 am
worried about what to do.
We have gone together longer
than a good many couples and
think we ought TO understand each
other by this time. WORRIED.
Your mother probably thinks she
is doing the right thing by stand
ing in the way of your marriage
this summer. In my opinion, how
ever. she is wrong Your fiance has
shown his worth by saving enough
to start housekeeping. and
it is evident that you and he are in
love since you have known each
other and been engaged for so long
a time.
A wedding is of no Importance.
I would advise you to make your
own decision and to do what you
think right.

Mahogany Polish-Many house
cloudy blue-gJay look which so
often appears on mahogany pianos
and other pieces of highly polished
furniture. For removing, use a ia
blespoon of vinegar in clear water
This is applied with a cheesecloth
rag, first saturated and then
wrung as dry as possible. The fur

this and then polished just as
lightly with a piece of dry cheese

Cream Chicken Sandwiches
Three tablespoons butter. one cup
milk, one tablespoon lemon juice,
one cup chopped cold chicken, one
half teaspoon salt, one-eighth tea
spoon pepper, one-Quarter cup of
chopped celery, One-Quarter cup of
chopped onions, two egg whites,
three tablespoons flour. Melt the
butter, add the flour, salt, pepper.
Cook thoroughly. Add milk. Cook
until smooth and glossy. Add
chickens celery, lemon juice, onion.
Add beaten egg whites. Put in
place on buttered bread. Can use
fancy cookie cutter and it makes
them look dainty.
Suggestions.
For Filling Broken Places or
cracks in plaster, mix plaster of
Paris with vinegar until it makes a
putty-like paste; push into cracks
and broken places with an old
knife. (Plaster of Paris will not
become hard for at least a half
hour when mixed with vinegar. but
it hardens almost Immediately in
water.1
To Freshen Stale Rolls or muf-
fins dampen them slightly and
warm in oven.
In Making Boys Waists, instead
of using elastic at the bottom. use
a corset lace tstring). Run lace in
to bottom of waist, using tinsel on
lace, tie knot large enough TO slip
on the other end, as you cut lace
in two, one being enough for two
waists. Then if they slip back in
to the waist you find tinsel and

QUALITYLEAPs
Ansted- unhesitatingIy Pre-
sents Program for
1923.

Officials OF the Lexington Motor
Company here have authorized the
announcement Of series %, models at
lower prices" will higher quality"
Frank b. Ansted, factory presi-
dent. characterizes the announce
ment In these words: After fifteen
years Of conscientious endeavor we
unhesitatingly present our program
for 1923 as an achievement second
only TO the famous Ansted engine"
Ten body types are included in the
list of series 20 models. They are as
follows: passenger roadster,
sl.6s6; five-passenger touring car.
1885; seven-passenger touring car,
$1,795; five-passenger sport model.
s2,045; five-passenger California top,
s1,ee5; seven-passenger California
top, $3.os6: five-passenger royal
coach, $2.145; r-passenger coupe,
$2,345; five-passenger sedan, with two
taxi seats./ $2,545; and four.passen-
ger brougham. s2.s46.
Three Of the above body types are
brand new additions to the Lexington
line for 1923: the roadster. the royal
coach and the brougham.
In the roadster. the sport motif''
has been followed. II is a snappy,
two-passenger motor car with low,
racy lines.
Great emphasis is laid on the royal
coach which the factory claims sets
new mark for high-grade coach
building at low price. The seating
accommodation are ample for five
people of average size. A single wide
door on each side gives easy access.
All appointments are worked out In
splendid detail. but nothing has been
overdone for ostentation merely.
The royal coach Is offered as the an.
swer to the rapidly increasing de.
mand for q closed car that can be
bought for a modest outlay and main.
tanned without extravaganza.
The brougham follows the same
general design as the royal coach,
but Is more elegant In every fitting.
II offers coy accommodations to a
party of four. A trunk. built into
the rear Of the body. offers unusual
touring facilities.
All series 20 models are equipped
with cord tires.

I'm the past the manufacturers
have put out various kinds of
freaks. but none of them have lived.
The sport car, however, is not
freakish, and 1t has definite niche
to fill. 1t is different, decidedly
smart. and has. in addition, all
the good qualities of the standard
models. In designing the Auburn
sport car we have sacrificed none
OF the serviceability of our line, yet
have developed a car that appeals

calls. q 'snappy' automobile. That

JOYFUL BY TIRE
DEPENDAB|LITY
BIowouts, With Delay and
Labor, Greatly Missing on
Trips Now.

In order to get the maximum OF
pleasure out of an automobile trip
II is essential to be able to keep going
after once started, says Motor Coach
Work. Blow. outs mean delay. labor
and annoyance for every one con-
cerned. They take all the fun and
Joy out of motoring. And strange as
Il may seem. tire troubles, when they
happen, usually will manifest them
selves in the most out-of-the-way
places on the road, and at the most
inopportune moments. How to avoid
these troubles is the problem.
'Tis said "a chain is no stronger
than it's weakest link" and an auto
mobile is no better than its poorest
tire. Automobile tires today are
made SO well that we almost COM
pletely forget about them until they
trouble us. Considering the use and
abuse most tires get, II really In re-
markable how well they do wear.
However, once they start to go Il In
advisable to change them. We know
some car owners who make II q prac-
tice to change their complete set OF
tires at the beginning Of each season.
These owners viii usually trade In
their old tires, regardless OF their
condition, and equip their car with a
new set of tires, getting an allowance
for the old.
This is the age Of insurance. We
insure everything-llfe. business, ac-
cident and life. Why not. therefore,
insure your motor trips against blow
outs and tire troubles? The bert
method OF insuring yourself against
tire trouble that we know of is to
equip your car with a new set of
tires and tubes at the beginning Of
each season. Your used shoes can be
carried as spares II you 80 desire.
Speaking OF this to a number Of
car owners, we found that many do
not realize that by trying TO get the
last mile out of each tire they are
depriving themselves of the real Joy
Of automobiling. That sub-conscious
fear OF a blowout keeps the mind on
the shoes instead Of the trip. Besides
the mental relief that you will ex-
perience with installation Of new
tires, you will be astonished by the
remarkable difference in the riding
qualities of your car. 1t will seem to
take on new life, and. Just try II.
and you'll regret that you hadn't
thought of II sooner.

Under price conditions that have
prevailed for the past year, the value
OF the Chalmers has been very pro-
nounced. -
"But the new price puts II praotie

lowest price that has ever beef
placed on a car at all to be compared

This coupled with it's extraordin

nephew of Ed Hartley.
Between 25 and 50 men with
loaded revolvers came to the Jail
and overpowering Sheriff Powers

them to the vacant lot where they
1iddled them with bullets. At the
time of the killing of Connie Hart
ley his father was seriously wound
ed. Ed and John Hartley were con
victed of voluntary manslaughter
and made a motion for a new trial.
