Answer-Strictly speaking, devo-
ton is the quintessence of love,
but evidently your friend is not de-
voted in this sense. You mean by
devotion" that he pays you
great deal of attention, that he is
always under foot, so to speak, and
that he prefers your society to that
of other women.
That sort of devotion means alb
solutely nothing from the senti-
mental standpoint. Many a man
camps on a girls sofa, eats her
food, is warmed by her fires in
winter and cooled by her lemonade
in summer; takes her to places of :
amusement and hangs around her
for years and years without her
ever touching his heart or making
him think of a wedding ring.

to deprive his children of a moth

are when they are plastic clay, forms
their characters and sets their ideals.
And if their father flouts her opinions
and derides her views he breaks down
all her teachings.
If headstrong, half-grown girl obeys
her mother, it is because she has the
habit of obedience that was formed in
her babyhood. If young girl, mad for
pleasure and crazy to do what all the
other girls are doing, listens to mothers
advice it is because she has seen mother
occupying the position of family oracle
all her life. If mothers influence is
strong enough to keep a hayward girl
in the straight and narrow path, it is
because she has always been guided by
mothers OniniOn.

Just what are innocent pranks? The
reason for the barring of masks, what
with the prevalence Of hold-ups, is
obvious; the reason for the ban on
rowdyism, annoyance, insult and

plain.
1t is undoubtedly true that, could
poll be taken, more people in the
District of Columbia would admit that
they looked forward with misgivings,
even with dread, to tomorrow nights

For many years the National Cap

fittingly to observe the Fourth Of

it has learned that there are much
better ways. Americans have found

advantageous ways of marking cele-
