What am ! going to tell this
poor little girl?
Well, in the first place I am
going to tell her that she will
probably be in love again five
or six times before she marries
and settles down. And every
time she is in love she'll have a
bad time over It.
Love is not always laughter
by any manner of means, my
dear, and it is never peace OF
mind.
There's nothing weird and
mysterious about your young
man, my dear. He's infatuated
with the other girl, and he
knows it's nothing but an in
fatuation so he doesn't want to
give you up entirely-practical
sort of chap, you see-looking
for the best of the bargain
from his point Of view.
If ! were you, I'd 20 to a
party with the football hero
who's always asking you to go
with him, and I'd Just forget
this temperamental young gen.
tlemsn and forget him for good.
If he can't be faithful to you
before you are married-what
do you expect him to be when
you think you have got him tied
to the track?
These slippery people don't
ike to be tied, and they never
really stay tied l. haven't you
noticed that?
Similia, similabus curantor-
now that's Latin, my dear, and it
Just simply means go to the
party with the football man
and there you are with your nice
little prescription all tied up
with pretty ribbon and every
thing.
And good luck and happiness
go with you.

Slippery People.

And he reached for his hat
and went-but on the next night
he came back again with his
emile and his agreeable manners
and acted as If nothing at all
had happened.
These terrible things have
happened over and over again
in the last two months, and the
girl just simply can't make it
out.
What Is the matter with the
young man?
He isn't tired OF her-if he
was he would not come to see
her at all, and why does he
keep asking her to marry him
ii he is in love with the pretty
nurse? So the poor child sat
down and wrote a long, long
letter about it-don't laugh, you
are Just as foolish yourself and
you know you are.

haps, but in some other way

lieve that it is a natural thing for
the first teeth to come out and
that on this account they require
no care. This is not true. III the

Give your child a chance 70 have

dentist or clinic often enough to
keep decay under control. Once
every six months Il not too often.
Nutrition has a place OF great inn
portance in the matter OF the teeth.

Eggs are an excellent protein
food. They possess easily digested
fats, iron and the vitamins, espe-
cially the 'antirachitic" factors.
Soft boiled or poaohed or shirred
eggs are better than fried eggs.
Cereals served with milk form an
other excellent protein food. Oat-
meal, rolled oats, wheatena and
shredded wheat are all good cereals.
Children should be taught TO keep
the teeth clean. They should be
brushed night and morning, with a
stiff brush. with or without dentI-
frice.
Food should not be allowed 70 col

not chew thoroughly his food with
decayed and broken teeth. Decayed

tons, and this In itself Ia reason

The Farewell

aE)acket in the Spring Wardrobe
Advises
Gay Colors Add Distinc-
ton to This Character
istic Feature of the
= Mode

W. OOCs
THE little jacket suit Is
of large Importance in
the Spring wardrobe.
The jacket may, of course,
be a capelet, but there will
be something of the kind to
shoulder the style response
bility of your costume. It
may be but q brief bolero, a
belted swagger sports
model, or yet it may be
nipped in at the waist by a
series Of fine tucks and take
with enthusiasm to the pep
lum, but silk or wool, tai
lored or dressy, there is sure
to be a jacket.
There are a wealth Of ma
terial expressions for this
outstanding characteristic of
the 1880 mode. Tweeds
woven with a gay mixture of
colers, monotones revealing
vertical and diagonal stripes,
plain dark coverts, and pastel
flannels are al included in the
wooden group. Silks divide in
terest between plain flat crepe,
polka dotted silks, printed patterns
usually in floral motif, and striped
shirtings. These all belong to the
daytime costume Of which the
jacket or capelet Il q component
part.
Although a harmonious color
scheme persists, there is no lack
OF variety or contrast in these two
and three-piece costumes. In these
three-piece models interesting con-
trast Is often achieved through the
selection Of a blouse. This latter
effect is illustrated in the two
sketches shown here today. The
capelet model Is Of striped blue
and white pongee, except for the
blouse which is developed Of
figured crepe in the anne shades.
One would be prone TO hover
perilously on the brink of indeci-
sion if faced with the problem Of
choosing between the fashionable
blue and white costume and the
smart jacket suit at right of tan
and brown. Here a light tan with
dark brown dots has been selected
for the skirt, while the blouse il
brown with tan dots. Further versa
tility is expressed by the jacket
with raglan sleeves with its plain
brown Of a slightly lighter shade.
For town and country wear both
models would fill a worthy place
in the well-planned wardrobe.
