underhand spying to learn her
daughters most sacred secrets.
The only thing that moves me
to pity in the whole deplorable STU
alton is the paucity of the old lady's
life. No one except a person with
no other interest in life SO could
feed upon her daughters love life.
1t is as if starving woman took
the food from another woman's
table because she was convinced
there was enough present for both.
Women never grow old enough
to lose their avidity + emotional
affairs. Love looms large upon
their horizon until the very day Of
their death. When they have
reached the twilight of their own
emotional life, they live vicariously
in the loves of others. But we'll
bred woman sooner would die than
stoop to the methods Of your poor
old mother-in-law.
Dear Jane Jordan-I started having

we started going together again. I never

first night we were together again.

NC '--' DowN IN THE DUMPS.
Dear Down in the Dumps-Every
girl gets down in the dumps once in
a while about her love affairs. I
think you're very nice girl and
I like your unSelflsh attitude toward
your mother and your efforts at
self-improvement.
I think your boy friend is very
dumb indeed if he does not appre-
ciate you, but 1 Shan't worry about
that, because I know all too well
that another boy will discover you
one day and perhaps he'll have
enough real love for you to under
stand the kindlineSs of your
mothers motives.
SO far as this boy is concerned,
I wouldn't set my heart on him at
all, although I know exactly what
that dead feeling is. I also know
it doesn't last in a girl your age,
and that the right man usually
turns up at the time you least ex-
pect it.
In case your present boy friend
does stick this time, just take him
into your confidence about mother.
Interpret her to him in your own
way and, if he has an ounce of
heart, he'll overlook her faults for
your sake. Your cue for happy
life is to be yourself at all times
and you'll attract somebody with
out much trouble.
Dear Jane Jordan-why do girls get
insulted. when strange young fellow
speaks to them. provided the person is
as good as she. from all outward APP
pearance. When a girl is hit with
paper wad. instead of encouraging a fell
low she will insult him. then wonder
why she can't get a boy friend?
ONE-WHO- is WILLING-T
Dear One Who-Is- Willing-To-
Learn-The outward appearance OF
a young man tells young lady very
little about his character. AS long
as it is the custom for men and
women to be introduced before they
strike up an acquaintance, you will
offend young men by ignoring it
This is the first time I have heard
of the use of paper wads as an ex-
preston Of admiration.
Since they have failed so signal
ly in producing the desired effect
I suggest that you try something
else.
