To know that they miss me at home
When twilight approaches. the season

Does some one repeat my name over.
And sigh that l tarry SO long?
And is there a chord in the music,
That's missed when my voice is away.
And a chord in each heart that awaketh
Regret at my wearisome stay?
Do they set me a chair near the table. |
When evenings home pleasures are
Nigh
When the candles are lit in the parlor. /
And the stars in the calm azure sky? |
And when the "good-nights" are re-
peated.
And all lay them down to their sleep, |
Do they think of the absent, and watt |
whispered goodnight" while they
sleep?
Do they miss me at home? Do they
miss me?
At morning, at noon, or at night?
And fingers one gloomy shade round
them,
That only my presence can light?
Are joys less invitingly welcome,
And pleasures less hale than before,
Because one is missed from the circle,
Because 1 am with them no more?

Dear Miss Brooks:
At last 1 have come to you for ad.
vice upon certain questions. First:
am IS years old and like to have a good
time, but l have a supposedly true girl
friend who talks about me to my
| friends. thinking she can win their ad-
miration and leave me high and dry
or use me in any way she pleases.
| have not realized it until now. and so
| l have not cultivated the friendship of
many more girls thinking one real
| friend was all that was necessary.
Should I try and break her of her con-
| ceit or cultivate other friends? How
| can l clean a pair of suede slippers
Thanking you in advance. I remain,
MOLLY, Utah.
And / am glad to have you with us,
Molly. Do not send stamped envelope
unless you wish songs or your letter
requires a personal answer. 1t is not
| wise to limit the number of our friends
we can not have too many, and we
| need a variety. As you have doubtless
known this girl for some time do you
not think you could talk freely to her
about this? There may be a mistake
you know, and perhaps she is not guilty
of the accusations against her. Perfect
understanding and frankness are nec-
essary to maintain a friendship and
you should at least give her the op-
portunity of clearing herself of these
so. Be friends If possible. and by all
means cultivate other friends (2)

never done anything to make him mad.
How can / win him back? Thanking
you in advance. remain.
BLAcKY, Utah.
Your case is not unlike many others, |
Blacky, who do not realize a friends |
worth, or what they are to them until !
they are gone. No doubt you were SO (
accustomed to his attentions that you
did not realize you were not treating
him as friendly or courteously as you
should. Since you have invited him to
call. thereby signifying your desire to
establish the old friendly relations. and
he has refused to accept, 1t is self-evi-
fdent that he does not care Just yet to
renew the friendship, therefore there
is nothing left for you to do except to
be friendly and agreeable to him when
you meet Perhaps in time the same
qualities which attracted him to you in
the beginning will bring him back to
you. In the meantime. dear, do not
compare every other boy with him, but
determine to enjoy their friendship be-
cause you cannot afford to make any
further advances than you have to him
without lowering your dignity. and
which would also drive him still fur
Their away; and after ALL do you not
think IT is more pique, than that you
really care for him?
