Dear Miss Brooks

Dear Miss Brooks;
Would you mind answering q ques-
tion which has been bothering me for
almost a YEAR, | am young man Of
-s,an,een very popular among the fair
soy Of this town. and am fond OF
amusements, especially bask etball and
dancing am also considered one OF
the best viollnists In this vicinity and
expect to make quite career Tor my
self as a viOlinst. The question which
I mentioned is this. There Is young
Iadv on sixteen in this school Of whom
7 am very fond. Sometimes.she seems
ouite attentive to me. but at other
times she is Indifferent. Her parents
are very strict, and forbid her to re-
ceive the attentions OF the young men.
Uoweyer they seem TO be In favor OF
our friendship. which on my part has
already ripened into love. How can /
tell whether she returns my warm re-
rard or II she really is Indifferent? I
am greatly concerned over this matter
and will he grateful for your prompt
advice Sincerely.
SENATOR FEWCLOTHES. Ida.
NV dear senator. the only way you
can find out anything with absolute
certainty Is to wade right In and find
out In your case tho girl would seem
to be about the only one VINO gan give
Won a satisfying answer. unless you
consult the parents. which might be
less satisfactory I am quite sure she
must be a wonderful little lady II she
has parents who advise and care for
her so sensibly. When she has ad-
vanced further In school they will
probably consent to her receiving at
tentions from boys. But senator. let
us reason together for n moment before
YOU put this question to her. providing
YOU should Suppose she should tell
YOU she loved you (supposinS You both
understood anything about love) what
then? II will he a number Of years be-
fore you can properly care for wife.
FOR there are years Of hard study be-
fore you II you expect TO make a place
'or yourself with the violin. Would 1t
be right TO bind her and yourself by
an engagement for such a long time?
why not go on as YOU are a while,
ust being good friends and pals. leav~
ng you both free to have other friendf.
Remember. sixteen and seventeen is
,ery young to become engaged. and
,orrors. What II you or she should
ind someone else YOU thought YOU
owed after few more years. An en-
,agement is sometimes very serious
hing and not lightly broken Now,
senator Fewclothes. has the foregoing
aused you to see things differently
So let me hear from you.

tons. | sure hope you Will answer
them for me, and thank you In advance.
% have been visiting and have met
a real nice young man and have gone
steady with him. He sure thinks
lot of me and I do of him. / fell In
love with him from the very first and
he did with me. The girl he went with
before 7 met him has been away. She
has just returned again and Is only
going to stay couple OF weeks. Last
night he brought her home from the
dance. His boy friend told me he loved
me more than he did her. Do you
think ne does? During the whole time
we have gone together he has talked OF
marriage. Night before last he told
me he would marry me. Do you think
we will ever get married? I love him
enough to marry him II he goes steady
with this other girl during her short
STAY and after she is gone he comes
hack to me. would you go with him?
NV folks are all the time telling me
they will he glad when get married.
hest for me to get married and marry
you for your trouble.
BLONDE. Utah.
Your questions are hard ones to put
TO anyone. for advising a girl tn marry
Dr. not to marry is rather a hard prop
'sition. when one is not acquainted with |
INV Of TIE parties. AS to whether you
-i.l marry him or not. of course rests
entirely with Won. Are you sure you
<now what love Is? Whv do your par
'rts wish Won to get married? II would
'eem much better tn wait a few wears
more. as you are quite young to marry.
t would seem that II this young man
bought more NJ you than anyone else
and he surely should. II he has asked
'eu to marry HIND. he would not leave
'on entirely and snrnd his time with
his other girl. Now. dear. you will
ave tn decide this question Yourself.
mt certainly would not advise you

full In this respect there would be less
cause for regret later on, am quite
sure. This Is not n precaution taken

matter of good breeding. and Indicates

Real Estate Deal

New York, Jan. 5.-Dr. w. NJ. Will
son filed a counter-claim in Supreme
court asking permission to retain
possession of a house mt -l0S and -lIo
West One Hundred and Thirty-sixth
street, which his wife, Mrs. Leila Wat
ker Wilson, heir to Nine. C. J. Wal
ker, founder of the famous Madame
Walker Company of Indianapolis, has
endeavored to have returned to her
through legal action.
The counter claim states that DR..
Wilson wishes to establish a sanitor-
ium in the One Hundred and Thirty
sixth street house and asked that IL
be turned over to him free or a
mortgage of $4,000 and with $10,-
900 additional to pay for the remod-
cling necessary.
Mrs. Wilson alleged that her hus-
band had purchased the property in
his own name with her money and
has refused to return either money
or property to her.

nearly a year and Mrs. Wilson has
spent much of her time abroad.
