at first I couldn't bear him in sight
He continued to come around and
at last it seemed as though I took
a liking to him and now I can't
stay away from him. He borrows
money from me and never pays me
and l am wondering if I love this
man or not?
Ans: Don't loan your money out
for this is bad business. You are
not in love with the man only
in sympathy with his handicap in
life. The best way in the world to
forget him is to force yourself to
make other friends.
P. w. c.: We are two girls leav-
ing college the first of June and
want you to answer this question
for US. We have been invited to
New Orleans to spend a couple of
weeks with a chum of ours and
wonder if we would enjoy it down
there. We have never been South
before.
Ans: Then a ''treat" is in store
for you. Certainly you will enjoy
visiting your friend and she will
entertain you very royalty" while
you are her guests. Be careful
both you girls will meet a couple
of handsome southern boys and
you will have something to worry
about for the rest of the summer.
F. D. B.: am desperately in love
with a young lady and want to
know if she will ever care anything
for me?
Ans: The girl just isn't inter-
ested in you. Stop running after
her and spend your time trying to
make some other friends and you
won't be inclined to worry too
much.
R. H.: Will I be successful with
the deal I have already made and
will be successful with the one I
am trying to make now?

Ans: Little success lies ahead
for you regarding these deals. 1
really don't believe that you will
profit to any great extent from
same and it would be well to re-
consider the proposition.
1. E.: Ny husband is mean to me
since have been sick and / want
to know if he is just trying to put
me out of the way?
Ans: No not that. He doesn't
realize how unthOughtful he is be-
ing. Arrange to go to the city
clinic and let the doctors look you
over for there should be some re-
lief for you. A decided change for
the better is indicated cooper
ate with the doctors. When you
get well things will seem different
in the home.
B. T. G.: Mr.. Able, I would like
to know if my father will go into
the business he has in mind any
time soon?
Ans: Not Immediately. Your

Hello folks.

Hello folks:
Well, the eternal grind at the cup is about

more, and their belts already let out to make
room for the increased adipose tissue due to
the old normal appetite. 1 got just one
glimpse of one of our noble boy students yes

man out there And so life goes ON and ON
