Lady Before Falling Her His Nsmes Dear Miss Blake: MM
 Having met young man through flirting, he made an appointment I"told him if he was a married man he should not call. Well, he called on me twice week for two months. One Sunday night he, did not call and ! have not seen or heard from him since. He never told me where he lived. have taken quite an interest in this young man, he being . perfect gentleman in every way. Mollie.-- From the Love Answers column of news- paper.
 Mollie, you are in need of advice. The chances are this young man is not worthy of you. Otherwise he would have left his card. On the other hand, let us not be too nasty in judging the young gentleman: {: there Is just 6 possibility he realizes that after two months the time has come when you should know his name and address, and he is having some cards printed for you. This takes time. The printers are all busy.
 It is obvious you are one of. those great souls who think Q mans man for all that, as a poet once said, but you should not let something fairly definite in the way of a clue to his identity.
 After young lady has welcomed q man of her fancy into her home and heart over any extended period she has right to know who he is. t<
 She should be very stern about this. There should be no halfway measures. Certainly weeks she should. 1t is conceded by the best authorities, demand in loud uncompromising voice, "Who are you, ennyhowF
 It Is then up to him to answer. Very likely this sudden interest in his identity on your part will disconcert him terribly. For few moments he may not know what to say. Listen carefully for his answer, how ever, for 1t will prove to you whether he is the right sort or not.
 If he says. "Mollie. darling, I am Milton H. Hooxis, S56 Eighth avenue," you should feel reasonably reassured, although it would be well for you to jot it down on a paper and look him up next day.
 If, however (and here is where you must use your woman's intuition and listen care fully), he attempts halfway answer such as "I am M. H. H.. and live in that street what do you call it?-that runs between Seventh and Ninth avenues and has the gas tanks on it," you should mistrust him at once. No honorable suitor for c woman's hand ever gives simply his initials when asked for his full name. tI
 Generally speaking, we would say that If
 
 give you all the facts and particulars about himself after the first eight or ten calls.
 Certainly by the time he decides to ask your hand in marriage he should do 50, and if he were a fine, honorable, well-bTed per, son he would address you something like this without solicitation: @'e
 "Mollie, dear, the time has come for you to know something about me. We have been keeping company five weeks now. am Milton II. Hoosis, age, 2T; weight, 187; height, 5 feet 10; complexion, fair; color of eyes, blue; of hair, black chin, weak :.ears, protruding mouth, marrow; nose, good; dis tinguishing markss none. was born in this country June 8, 1897, of American parents, am glue mixer by trade and live at 2s3 Oak street."
 This is only fair and no true suitor would fail to so address you. In the very best circles 1t is the custom for him to present a card bearing all this information with an swers on the reverse side to such questions as Where were you last arrested"
 After he has so declared himself you should feel much more at home in his com pany. Perhaps you may even feel by this time that you should tell him your name, UOOt .s =tf-1fJ
