Who Occupies a, Unique Position
in the Writing World as an
Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage.

Love and Marriage.
TIvE letters are lying on my
desk as I. write. All are
- variations i of one theme.
They tell Of capricious. unde-
pendable,. changeable selfishness
that masquerades as love.
Charles writes that the young
girl he cares for persists in
teasing and making a fool Of"
him. He says he's "easy-going"
and "can stand almost any
amount OF kidding" But when
she deliberately tries to arouse
his jealousy by tales Of her con-
quests and succeeds in making
him feel wretched and Inundated,
he wonders whether. she really
loves him.
When he questions her about
this, her answer invariably is, II
love you and am only fooling."
IF she really were in love
with me as deeply as 1 am in
love with her, would she treat
me the way she does?" asks
Charles. And he adds, us there
any way in which I can make her
change her tactics?"
So much tor the problem Of
Charles.

Closing Freshly
Painted Window
BY HI. A. Callahan

by H. A. Calahan-l
Vile painters had just departed
4 and had left the freshly paint
ed windows open, when heavy
storm arose. Here was dilem-
ma. II we left the windows open,
the rain would spoil the paint. If
we closed them, our finger-prints
would spoil the paint.
Eight inches of surgical adhesive
tape solved the problem. BY press
ing six inches of it against the
glass and using the remaining
two inches as a handle, we found
1t easy to raise or lower the win
dows without touching the fresh
ly-painteh sash frames.

points on which she has chosen
to disagree.
Bertha also has q grievance.
John, it seems, liked her though
they were not engaged. But once
he took another girl to a dance.

him up and told him not to come
to see her any moro as she
wouldn't stand being made a
fool Of" Now she's unhappy and
wonders how she can win back
Johns friendship.

Jack did like her. But she drove
