Your Friends Secret.

Yes. it's perfectly natural. when
you're in love, to want to share all
your innermost secrets and thoughts
with the Only One.
But always keep firmly in mind the
fact that your friends secrets are not
your secrets. You have no more
right to run around informing people
Of their private affairs than you
would have to start giving some of
SO few girls get wise to this. They
want to tell him just everything.
They think it's a shame that any
thing should he withheld.
And so they blab happily about all
their friends love affairs and domes-
tic troubles. confident that they're
making a hig dent.
Well they may. Bert may have
thought Justine's gossip about all her
crowd was fascinating.
Justly is a good talker. and she has
the lOwdown on everybody in her
bunch. She THINKS it's great fun TO
shock Bert occasionally with startling
revelations about girls he's known for
a long time.

line of conduct. but she won't he when
the girls begin to get wise to her little
practice of spilling all the news in

They will get wise, or course. Bert,

Justly has Nold him that Anne's
simply wild over the new boy, Ken
meth, and wants to get rid OF Bob
just as soon as possible, in order to
have time to encourage the latest
flame.
Bert is a good friend Of Bob's, and
when Ken comes raving to him about
the beauty and virtue OF his Anne,
poor Bert can't help looking rather
strange and unenthusiastic.
! Nor can he help being slightly re-
| sentfitl toward Anne. Eventually he
will say sOmething-men always do:
, they're not clever about keeping
things hidden for years.
And then what Anne will say to

The fair Justine will ind her circle
of friends decreasing, as they all learn
| that Bert is in q position to know all
about them.
She has betrayed them for his sake,
they feel. and they won't forgive her
easily.
If Justine wants to tell Bert all the
latest gossip which has been impart-
ed to her in the strictest confidence,
then she must expect to lose out on
her friendships.
You can't make real friends with
some one who, you know, plans to
repeat things you say, later, to a
third party.
You can't trust the girl who would
| rather tell her man everything she
hears than be a really good friend.
So the mistaken maiden who risks
her friendships, just for the sake of a
little malicious gossip with her sweet
heart. is taking pretty big chance

girl needs, q few really good chums.

Clues to Character
The Poker Player.
BY j. O. ABERNETHY.

Observe the heads and faces of
poker players. crap shooters. roulette
players. race-horse betters, and you
will find that their heads in certain
features are pretty much alike. We
refer now to The professional gambler
or the chap who can't keep away
from the gaming tables. although he
may earn his living at an honest vo-
cation.
The type we refer to is the long
shotter. The fellow who always is
ready to take ''shot" at raffies, prize
fights, horse races. bicycle races,
auto races, or who will risk his week S
salary on the roll of dice or the turn
of an ace. He would miss a meal
any tiree to play poker or "shoot
craps Sometimes he wins-but no
matter. win or loose, he loves to play.
The next time you see a group of
men playing. poker, study the backs
Of their heads. IL they love the game.
you will find that they have round
heads. Glimpse the back Of the head
and hen eye the cheek bones. The
head will tend to roundness and the
cheek bone just below the eye will be
more or less 1at-it will not stand
out like the North American Indians, 8,
you may be sure of that.
