But If q girl and young man
plan to be married and hope to
keep the fires Of affection burn
ing brightly at the home hearth,
pals they must continue to be,
first and last, understanding
comrades. A husband and wife
must, in addition, be pals or the
marriage cannot be happy.
So, whether you fall in love.
or just like and respect the fine
young man who is attentive to
you, be glad that he thinks OF
you as a pal, and do not jump

he is in love with you.

you will help me. am 16 years

I'm not exactly what you call
attractive-but pasSable.
THE end of last summer a
young man two years my senior
happened to be visiting some
relatives of his next door. You
see, my parents keep a grocery
store.
HE came in the store one
evening when I was in charge
and bought some things. I
waited on him, then he went
out.
"He asked my brother if he
thought would answer If he
wrote to me. My brother told
him he'd have to ask me.
HE said he wanted to get &C
quainted, but was leaving the
next day, and was afraid he
wouldn't have a chance. He
wondered if I would allow him
to write. My brother asked me.
I hesitated at first, but said yes.
'Well, he left and I received
four letters from him, the first
one saying he loved me and so
forth. I wrote him a rather
silly letter as to his love for me
and so forth, Just to see his re-
action. He told me in his next
letter to take him seriously, and
even said I was sort Of silly.
I'm the rest of the letter he
told me Of his friends and do
angs. He tells me to write
him long letters-as long as
this one to you. He calls me
his pal! Shall I keep CORE

believe what he writes? I'm
in, an awkward position, hay

Thanksgiving Day Is coming!
Thanksgiving Day w h e n we
give thanks for the bountiful
harveSt the earth'S food
supply.
A day of home gatherings
bringing of the family together.
And the family spirit Of the
home table will never change
so long as the home endures--
and that will be always, in
spite of some pessimistic indi-
viduals who declare the home is
passing.
There are two foods in the
Thanksgiving dinner that must
Of necessity stand out-TUR-
KEY and CRANB ERRIES.

ship is traditional; and then
too, the cranberry adds just the
acid necessary to aid in the
digestion of q heavy dinner,
and their CHEEKY brightness Is
certainly decorative
But how did turkey and cram
berries begin their close COM
partnership? It seems that the
early Pilgrims found this
bright-red berry on the Cape
Cod Peninsula, growing wild on
the low marshes, and it is prob
able that the Pilgrim housewife
served them with the wild tur-
key at Thanksgiving time. Any
way, it may be that this is how
the cranberry became so closely
associated with Thanksgiving.

Live up to that fine name he
has called you-pal!
While your acquaintance be-
gan informally, your neighbors
and brother can vouch for the
young man. and size him up,
doubtless, as a suitable friend
for you.
When a young man says he
loves you, it may mean that he
likes you-finds you interest
ing and attractive. That I Sus-
pect, is about what this new
friend means. But when he
calls you pal he means just
that-a dear understanding
sensible friend and comrade.
You and he, and the other
young man who occasionally
mentions matrimony to you, are
all of you under 20-much too
., young for serious talk Of love
and marriage. but not too
young for the good sound
friendship that may later on, If
either proves to be Mr.. Right,
deepen into love and marriage.

you Tennie, and to your pals!

THE BEAUTY
BOX
BY Helen FOlIett-

Smart gals don't put on
their makeup in public places.
Men are wise to the fact that
women have their locks hard
boiled into permanent waves,
that cherry lips are not natural
but acquired, that the blush on
the cheek comes out Of a paint
pot and disappears with the
facial Tubing. Yet in the back
Of their heads is the notion that
beauty is the gift Of some fairy
godmother. Why STAY their de-
lusionS?
The muscles of the body
stay young and strong because
they are exercised. The muscles
of the face are not so fortunate.
They lose their elasticity of
youth and then sag and
wrinkle. This happens early,
when they receive no special
youthifying attentions. All
manner Of friction, even face
washing, is helpful, because it
StirS up the blood streams, ami
mates the work Of the glands
and helps the pores to send
away their poisonous waste
products.
It is a wise girl who looks
after her big toe, wearing shoes
wide enough so that it Is not
pressed inward. In walking,
the heel is lifted and the weight
falls largely upon the great toe.
The shoe must have ample
width: then the toe will keep
strong, straight and flexible.
Cosmetics have been COM
pounded for hundreds of years,
but our puritanical foremothers
would have none of them. Yet
it is recorded that some Of the
less puritanical ones obtained
their ek-coloring agents by
soaking in water the petals Of
the artificial roses they wore in
their bonnets. Strawberry juice
and beet juice were also used
to create fac-simile bushes.
To keep health and good
looks up to standard, it Is neces-
sary to have mineral salts IN
cluded in the diet. They are
obtained from many vegetables,
but often are absorbed by water
in which vegetables are boiled.
Therefore, treasure these juices.
They can be used in soups and
meat sauces.
Rouging the inner surface Of
finger tips is a practice that
has been going on for some
years among the bellies of Paris,
and is being done more and
more in our own country. It is
a harmless bit of Stiffness, and
the young fry likes to be up to
new tricks. It is modernized
version Of the practice of Turk
iSh and Egyptian women, who
use henna for that purpose.
The rouge used by our own
sweet babies is a faint wild
rose pink.
Since the World War put
eight course dinners out of
fashion and prolonged, elabo-
rate meals have become a bore,
there are fewer florid complex
ions. The average houSekeeper
has become interested / n the
matter of food values, and her
education in astronomical af-
fairs has benefited the health
and appearance of her family.
The commissary department of
the home Is extremely impor-
tant. The female generaliSSimo
who runs it must, literally, know
her onionS-if her family is to
look topnotch.
