braided her fiance for loving his

woman first.
Discord, wounded self-love,

scene Mabel made? True love
would have prompted her to de-
light in her frances joy at see
ing his mother. Shed know,
since love includes trust, that
love for his mother couldn't
cause him to love her less.
We often fool ourselves into
mistaking vanity and self-seek-
ing. for affection. Fred is con-
WINGED that he loves Myrtle
deeply and truly. He's been
going about with her steadily for
three years. Myrtle's hoping
that Fred will propose marriage.
But that's the last idea in
Fred mInQ.
Fred's enjoying life and he's in
no hurry to marry. And he has
a sub-conscions plan that he's
never put in words, tlat when he
does get ready to settle down
he'll find some pleasant young
woman who has money. For
moneys very comfortable to have
round.
just what's Myrtle's future il
going to be doesn't trouble Fred.
But he has tantrum if she looks
at any other man. When he tires
of her companionship, one day
he'll cody drop her.
Myrtle is infatuated with Fred,
so she humors him. She doesn't
permit any other man to call.
Yet in her heart she knows that
Fred is selfish and is considering
himself, not her.
There's little chance of happi-
ness in such companionship. On

she studied the three men who

She took time to detect true

Watch your motives. Be sure
you are not accepting love Just
because it flatters your vanity
and offers pleasant attentions
It's far better not to wed than
to marry unwisely.
There should be but one motive
for marriage -the deep. sincere
mutual affection we call love.

Who Goes First?
AR MRS. BEECKMAN:

VIII you please settle a
difference of opinion for
me?
I contend that on going into
a theater the lady goes first;
also on going into restaurant.
A friend firmly believes it is
good form for the man to lead
the way down the aisle follow
ing the usher and waiting at
the row for the lady to enter
first. He also feels that this IL
the correct way to enter res
taurant, helping the lady re-
move her wraps, and be seated.
In introducing ones sister to
a gentleman, is 1t proper to
say, miss A. meet Mr.. b." or
TO give her first name, or need
one just say, my sister," or
brother" IL the name is the
same as your own?
NJ. ]. G..
EITHER form il correct for
II going down the aisle of q
theater. You are right, and your
friend is right 1t depends on, tho
choice and thought of the gentle
man. Personally. think that
the way for which your roots"
is the better way, for this does
give the man. the chance to help
the lady into the row in which
they are taking their places.
However, I think that most men
agree with you-and have the
lady follow the usher. So you'll
have to settle the argument on
this fifty-fifty basis!
In q restaurant the custom is
for the head waiter to lead the
way and for the lady to follow
him, she, in turn, followed by the
gentleman.
CD Now, in this answer. I
can be more definite, for there
are certain definite rules govern-'
ing this. In the first place, a
lady is not introduced to a gen.
