Misses Parties

Dear Miss Lee; I have Just graduated
from high school and, as you no doubt
know, I shall be deprived of many of the
friends, parties and dances which help to en-
uven school life. While in school I went
to at least three parties month. and.
strange as 1t may seem. Twas ased to go
by my girl friends. I certainly did feel
sorry for those fellows who had "steadies."
But now everything is different. I don't
g, out SO much. Would you advise me to
take a girl out on Sunday evening in place
of going out with fellows? Where could a
fellow take a girl this summer season?
am 10. HANDICAP.
You might take girls out once in
a while, but it is not necessary to
confine yourself to one girl.
There are not a great many places
to go, I'll admit. OF course, there
are shows, and the plays at the mu-
nicipal outdoor theaters. And some
girls don't mind an evening at home,
with an entertaining companion.
With several other couples. often
you can have as enjoyable a time
that way as any other.

Lies a queer thing, isn't 1t, Jack?
Here is Leslie who, if what you told
me Is correct, is slowly dying be-
cause her child, born in respectable
ity and wedlock, was taken away
from her, and poor little Paula, who
probably did not want her child, to
whom 1t was a shame and disgrace,
is saddled with one.
Treat it with as much derision as
we may, after all, old chap, it is the
woman who pays.
Honestly, Jack. believe if were
a woman 4 would start out to give
every man I know as much trouble
as possible. I hear you laughing as
you read this and I know you are
Saying. What an old sentimentalist
you are. Sgd"
Perhaps I am, Jack, and it is be-
cause I am that I have never felt
Ike inf1icting myself upon a woman.
I have never seen a man yet who
was worthy the least worthy woman
and when marry I want a good
woman fer my wife.
Whenever I find myself falling in
love I find myself asking. What
have you got to give a good woman"
and draw back Immediately.
We ask so much and give so little
we become bored so easily and all
the while it never enters our minds
that by any possibility we are stupid
at times ourselves.
There, I'm going to stop writing
1t isn't like me to sermonize, you
know that, Jack. Neither do I set
myself up in a position as one Of
those better than thou" critics, but
someway this blooming coincidence
of babies has got my goat. Yours.

n UB two cups cooked peas,
X canned or fresh, through a

If large cups are used the recipe
will make three. If small timbale

ing table; nearby. a fly covering the
stove; in the rear. behind the trees
on one side, is a cache for food, and
on the other side a drain for waste
water, and a wash house.
Watch Drinking water
See that the water supply is pure
Have 1t tested by local health au-
thorities. When in doubt, boil the
water. After it has been boiled it
will taste fiat. because the oxygen
has been boiled away. You can bring
life" back to the water by aerating
it.
Dip out carefully a cup Of water
and pour it back slowly, giving the
oxygen of the air a chance to COM
bine again with the water. Keep this
up until the water has been cooled
somewhat, and you will find the fiat
taste has disappeared.
Next in importance to water is
camp sanitation. A good drain for
waste water can be made by digging
a hole in the ground three feet deep
and two feet in diameter; then dig
trench one foot deep leading out
on one side to a grade.
Floors Advisable
Fill the hole with stones, larger
ones at the bottom and smaller ones
on top. Then line the trench with
stones. Dish water and all waste
water may be- poured in. Lime
should be sprinkled onAdaily, and at
least once a week pour in kerosene
and burn out the hole; but be care
full in the latter case not to set fire
to trees or brush.
If a camp is to be used for longer
than a week board floors are adj
visable for tents. Set the floor up
at least eight inches from the ground,
so there will be circulation Of air I'M
derneath. One side may have to be
farther from the ground than the
ether because the floor must be level.

Foolish Promise

Dear Miss Lee: am 10 years old and
am going with a girl of II. She lives 500
miles. from Indianapolis and we correspond
regularly. When 1 left her I promised not
to go with other girls as long as we cor
responded.
Now I may not be handsome, but I am
Jolly and an all-round comedian and for this
reason can make numerous friends. MI
merous times the girls hint they want dates
and each time 1 appear as though I don {
catch their meaning, so as to be faithful to
the girl love.
Should I keep up this correspondence,
when I don't know when 1 shall see her, if
ever. or take the pleasure thrown at my
feet? GENE.
Unless you want the girl to lose
faith in you altogether, don't break
your promise. However, you can ask
her to release you from it, and, of
course, she would not refuse. Both
Of you are too young to be bound by
such a-eromise, but there is no rea-
son why your friendship and your
correspondence should not continue.

LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON
TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT

Il
DEAR JACK:
Glad to get your letter. I'm awful
ly sorry for you, old chap.
You are certainly getting your
share of trouble. My advice to you,
now that you know that Leslie is get
ting every possible care that could
be given her and that it is given
with much better methods than you
could give it, is to settle down to your
work. Do not stay in the sick room
too much. 1t will keep you from
thinking about yourself, and help
you OF lay up a few dollars for Les
les benefit when she RECEIVERS, If
you turn to your work with a will.
Oh, yes. know that it rather
hurts your pride to think that Les
lies father is putting up thousands
of dollars to pay for your wifes III
ness, but it would hurt your heart
worse If you had to depend upon
your own resources to reimburse the
nurses and specialists who are car
ing for Leslie now
Leslie's father, Of course, would
not see his daughter want for the
slightest thing to make her COM
Portable and I consider that you are
very fortunate in falling in love with
a girl whose father has as much
money as Leslie's has.
By the way, I have had letter
from Paula Perier. (Hate to inject

The promises which seem unim-
portant and which we soon forget
may not matter as promises. But
every promise counts, as a builder of
character. No one likes to think
that others put little faith in his prom
ises, yet how often man will dis
regard his word in an unimportant
matter. We must keep faith in little
things, if we want to be trusted in
big ones.

CINDERELLA LEGEND IS Oh
Found Among Myths Of Almost Every
Country Of Europe, With Differ
ent interpretations.
After EOery Meal

The wel-kn0wn fairy tale Of Gin
derella has been found among the
myths of the Aryans, and from that
1t is known that it is the story OF the
Sun and the Dawn TO the Aryans
the Sun was the Child of Night; the
Dawn came before he was born, and
died as he rose In the heavens.
Cinderella, gray and dark and dull
is all neglected when she is away from
the Sun, obscured by the enyious
clouds, her sisters, and by her step
mother, the Night So she is the
Dawn, and the Fairy Prince is the
Morning Sun, ever pursuing her to
claim her for his bride.
This Is the legend as it is found in
ancient HlndoO books, and explains
the source and meaning of this fairy
tale, which is told in the language OF
every country in Europe. Likewise dc
all the versions of the stories OF
Beauty and the Beast" Jack The
Giant-Killer," little Red Riding
Hood" and a great number of other
fairy Stories come from the same
source, and yet with enough difference
to show that none Of them are copiet
from each other.
