into itself until it becomes invisible to the public eye.
 The shy, sensitive, reticent woman should marry man with a large bump of common sense and no imagination. He will need his common sense to deal with morbid personality that bristles with sensitiyeness as porcupine does with quills; that takes offense where none is intended, and that keeps its feelings spread all over the place SO that one has to walk on eggs to avoid tramping upon them. And only a lack of imagination can keep him from being jealous and suspecting that the woman who can never show her love is as cold as she seems.
 The man a shy woman marries
 should have great sense of hu-
 mor, for that alone will make it
 possible for him to understand the
 yanityS-that makes the self-con-
 scious believe that the eyes of the
 world are turned upon them, and
 .hat every one is. noticing what
 they nave oil. how they move. hew
 how they dance, how they play
 cards, and listening to what they
 say. A man needs to be able to
 laugh at that kind of woman or
 else he would feel like committing wife murder.
 Question No. 2--Of course, it>is pos sihle to freeze man out, no matter how much he is in love with a girl, Not only possible, but certain. Love isn't i1icubated in cold-storage plant It fourishes best in a warm atmos- phere.
 The people we love are those
 who show that they love us; the | people who admire us and seek our
 society. If there ever was a time
 when Dear Lady Disdain had rows
 of suitors signing at her feet, that time has passed. It is the glad hand that gets a man nowadays,
 not the cold shoulder.
 Question No. 3-Of course. girl knows when man is in love with her. She knows it a long time before he even suspects it himself. And she also knows when man has ceased to love her, no matter how much she lies to her own heart about it.
 Question No. 4-Real love en-
 dures to the end. It bears all things and forgives all things.
 Marriage strengthens it. In spite
 of all the divorces that we see,
 there are many men and women
 who love each other better on their
 golden wedding day than they did when they were married. DOROTHY DIX.
