 Dear Miss Vincent: In the apart ment building where l live there Is a young man who has spoken to me several times. He is a man who is much interested in his business and seems to keep aloof from feminine society. Many girls speak to him, but he frequently ignores them. I would like to become better acquaint- ed with him, but do not know how to proceed without thrusting myself at him. Kindly advise.

COURTSHIP MARRIAGE
By nETTY VINCENT

Dear Miss Vincent: Two years ago l met a boy in my section of town whom I loved immediately. He paid me very little attention and so I gave it out among my friends that he took me out to dinners ard shows. Now know this was wrong, but love him so and wanted everybody to think he loved me that I did not realize how utterly unfair I was to him. Now he has found out and while he still continues to speak to me I know what he thinks of me. Should I ask him to forgive me, or what can l do to let him know how sorry I am? D. l.. O."
 Let the matter drop. Remember "the least said the soonest mended." Henceforth be careful what you say, for even if man loves you it Is never well to brag about so serious thing to your friends.
 Dear Miss Vincent: I am almost IS years of age and have no beau. l have read the story called Want ed Beau and felt that that was my case exactly. Only things don't turn out that way for me. Many people

modern Robin Hood because she holds young men up and gets all she can out of them. I believe you are blam- ing the girls for a fault that is the mems. Why would young man save up all week and eat at cheap cafe in order to show some girl a good time on Saturday or Sunday, and girl he has little or no interest in, at all? The writer has known many girls, but he has yet to find one that hasn't some sympathy for the broken boob"-and this applies to the gold-diggers, as well as the la dies. Why, then blame the girl for wanting & man to take her to the best place In town2 If he is a gem tleman and is interested in her he will want to. Otherwise it doesn't matter. And if he doesn't like it. why, there are girls who will go to the cheap places with the cheap fellows.
 So say, More power to the Robin Hood ladiesw LESTER P. l.
 Answer: You've said 1t, Lester. You call the men who do not take girls to expensive places cheap fel- lows" And 1t is because men are afraid of having that brand put upon them that many one does not take a girl out at all or else spends more than he can afford. That's the pity, because some of the incest boys in the world, and the very ones who are going to be the big business men 20 years hence, are getting very small salaries now and having to count theif pennies. And it Is a bad thing to make the price of going with nice girls prohibitive to them.
 My contention was that when girls made the high cost of loving too steep they killed the goose that laid the golden egg. They kept away the beaux who could have given them a good time In moderate way and they untitled the wedding bells Be- cause how is a man going to be able to save up enough to get married on If he spends all that he makes cn taxis and jazz places?
 For my part I have never been able to understand why a girl can't eat enoughNbefore she leaves home to stay her until she gets back to the family ice box or why one who habit ually rides on the street cars has to be taxied when she gets a man she can hold up. It is all well and proper 1 for men to spend money on women That's what they are here for. But there is moderation In all things, and if girls were less grating on a mans pocketbook before marriage, they would find more In 1t after mar riage. DOROTHY DIX. 1 Dear Dorothy Dix--Will you please settle an argument about whether a | girl should call up man or whether he should call her up to make dates A thinks the girl should, because she knows whether she wishes to go with | him or not, and she may have other 1 engagements on which he might in trude. B says that the man is sup. posed to do the chasing. What do you say?

 Answer: B Is right. It is the mans place to make the advances and to ask for dates with the girl. Of course, many girls do telephone men and ask them to go with them to places, but l policy. DOROTHY DIX. ~

Dear Miss Dix-I am c business woman in my late thirties. My friends all tell me that look 15 years younger than l am. About five years ago I met a young business man Is years my Junior who became very de- voted to mo and wanted me to marry him l refused to listen to him on ac- count of the difference In our ages, but he has persisted in his attentions and insists tHat the fact that l am so much older that he does not make any difference to him. Do you think l would be making great mistake in marrying him? I can truthfully say l do want to, but l hesitate to take the step.
 Answer-For a woman to marry man 15 years younger than she is IS nothing short of committing mental suicide. It is a deathblow to all nap pness and peace of mind. It brings inevitable disappointment, and disil- fusion to the man, and despair and self-torture to the woman.
 To begin with, the woman who mar ries a man 16 years younger than ner- self lets herself in for a life sentence of the most grueling labor on earth, for she has undertaken the impos- sible task of keeping young ana act ing young. She must go through all the tortures of preserving her girl ish figure, and keeping her complex ion, and her hair. than which there Is no greater slavery. Every wrinkle is a tradegy, every gray hair death wound, every pound of flesh that snc takes on, or loses an added worry, for she has got to keep young-look- ing to match her husband.
 Worse still, she has to keep him en- tertaincd. And if there Is any great CT bore to middle-aged person than to have to go the pace with the young, goodness knows what It IS. She's got to pump up pep, no matter and run around at night, no matter how her old bones cry out for good warm dressing gown, and felt sip pers. and a novel by the fire, for she has to keep up with her young hus- band.
 And no other human being ever knows the torturing jealousy that tears at the old wife of a young nus band. He may be as faithful as the house cat but she can never see nm with any pretty young girl without thinking that youth calls to youth and that he is wishing that he were free to go with the flappers instead of being tied to mammas apron strings.
 If you have one grain of sense left in your head, Elsie, don't marry man Is years younger than yourselI. You may get away with it now, when YOU are a. we'll preserved forty and he is 25, but how about those gray oays when you are 65 and he Is 40Y
 A woman of 65 is an old woman; A man of 40 is still in his youth, ana he will hate you then for not having saved him from sacrificing himseir 10 you.

WANT BABY SISTER

Gan you remember the time when won were six or seven and wanted & baby sister or brother? Do you re- member how it seemed as 1T every child on the block had little papy brother or sister "to mind!' Ana while they complained and fretted because they had to wheel this small charge about in baby carriage and could not play, you secretly mourned the fact that you were the only cnild or the youngest child In the family
 Well, that longing for little brother or sister Is still going on In the child mind of today. All the movie shows in town, radio sets ana push mobiles do not console tho chiid who wants to mother real live" baby.
 Almost every day we receive let ters addressed ITO the Stork." said John R. Howard, 2 the superintendent of the New York Nursery and Childs hospital These letters are from children begging for baby sisters and brothers. Sometimes children actu- ally call to see me and leave me their addresses with directions to bring tho first baby the Stork sends to the hos pital directly to them. But most Of the appeals come through the mails"
 Then MT. Howard exhibited three of the most recent letters. They arc written in round. childish script slant ing up one line and down tho next. but they express the child heart every time. They read:
 Dear MT. Stork: Will you please send me girl baby as soon as you get one? Please send me letter back and tell me when I can get my baby girl.
 LOVE FROM RUTH
 Dear Doctor: 1 want baby brother to play with. Will you please send me a baby brother as soon as you can so can play with him? Thank you very much.
 My Dear MT. Stork: All my friends except me have baby brother or sister. I would like little baby sister with blue eyes and yellow hair. but if you haven't got anything but Please. don't forget me when the stork comes in with a new baby. Supposed to be kisses).
 LILLY"
 The names and addresses are very ters and MT. Howard admits he is frequently puzzled just what to do.
 Sometimes I wonder if the parents tell them to write to the stork to prepare them for the good news which Is soon to come to them," said MT. Howard. "If possible I try to get in touch with the parents and ask them what they want me to write. In that case I write Q letter back to the child.
 "On the other hand most of the letters ring so true that am inclined to believe the children write them without any suggestions from their parents. Only children seem to think that the chief blessing in the world is to have little. brother or sister. They forget about sharing toys and candy and wearing cast off clothes. Ihe only part which appeals to them is the fact that they would have somebody to play with or a baby to wheel about in carriage"
 Every child loves to mother some- tnins. And If the stork is never to visit their home again the next best thlng Is puppy or kitten.

Ex-Service Man Has Attack in
Lobby of Windsor; Is Taken
To Police Barracks

James Tillman, an epileptic, who
claims to be an eX-service man, was
seized with an attack Sunday eve
ming in the lobby of the Windsor
and at the request of the hotel
management removed to the police
barracks. After an examination
there, DR.. j, w. Chambliss decided
the man was not drunk and after
he had revived he was allowed to
90 on his way to Albany, where he
stated he has an uncle residing.
AT the police station it was found
that Tiliman's overalls had been
cut about the breast. and it was
thought he might be the man who
attacked A. l. Williams the night
previously on Taylor street. 1t was
shown, however, that he did not
reach Americas until Sunday after
noon, coming here with an autoist
who had given him a lift on his
way to Albany According to his
story TilIman has recently been in
a number of "overnment hospitals
receiving trca ment for injuries sus-
tanned m france during the war,
and he is apparently nervous
wreck. The cuts in his overalls,
II Imam said, were made by foot
pad who attacked him in Macon just
prior to his departure from that
city during Friday night.
