As AboUe So BeL0LO
Thousands of years ago the
ancients left a great and mar
velous key to the relation be-
tween the heavens and the
earth. It worked then. 1t works
now. According to that key,
the earth is divided into parts
that are the extensions of the
parts of the heavens: when q
planet is in a certain section
of the Zodiac its ray comes down
to affect the corresponding part
of our earth.

If you have a supply of these
correspondence cards on which
you wrote to me, there is no
reason why you should not use
them for these thank-you notes.
But if you are buying note

note-paper, the folded sheets
half the size OF note-paper. This
type of paper does not give the
cramped impression that cor
respondence cards give to a
note.
The thank-you notes to your
friends will be easy for you to
write. The notes to these kind
business acqualntances of your
husband might be worded some
thing like this:
Dear Mr.. Allen:

WHEN it comes to observa-
w tions and reminders Of this
and that, you may feel we go
about looking for mistakes, but
the truth is we admire most Of
the people we meet, especially
the young moderns. They are
usually a treat to the eye and
good company, too. However,
we notice a few who sometimes
lack the sophiStication one
likes to associate with those
who dine in public.
For example: 1t does not add
to ones popularity to enter a
place with a definite gesture of
noise or commotion, such as un-
necessary changing of tables.
Ard even when one knows the
head waiter by name, he will
not be flattered to hear it
shouted. 1t is bad manners to
stare at the food on the table
Of others, and all orders to the
wsiter are given quietly. No
one else will care what we are
going to have.
You may express a preference
for certain foods when order
ing, but don't dwell too much
on your likes and dislikeS.
Never tell the overweight ones
what they must not eat. They
will despise you for it, and be-
sides, they know. So let 'em
alone.

Dear Miss Blake:

Dear Miss Blake:
1t all came about in a South
ern boarding college, where the
strict rules kept us from seeing
much of one another.
One day, my girl friend came
to visit my parents who lived a
mile from the college. Unfor-
tunately or rather fortunately,
the president of the school came
the same day. We received our
share of the green carpet" and
my girl friend said that when
her folks heard that she would
fare none the better and that
she couldn't stand to be pun
ished. She said she hoped to
be married some day so she

proposed and we eloped. Now

Never handle your oyster or

Use your fingers to help your

You may know how to make

Those who have the best service

Never put your cigarette on

Try not to smoke more than

any bricks at you. l see by your
column you have been ducking
enough.

have been going with her for
three years. We are planning
to be married in 1889. At pres
ent work on farm. But I
am taking a radio-televiSion-

pect to finish the course in a
few months then I have to go

year before coming home to a
position.

I'VE are very much in love
and have been true. We both
have a clean slate (thank Cod.
Here is where you come in.
Our religions are different. My
family resents our courtShip be-
cause of this. We have come to
the decision that one of us will
change, if necessary. Do you
think this will change our
future happiness? Also, should
we get married sooner and she
go to Chicago with me? I am
to be gone so long. ROY.

your car before your sweet

either of you change your re-
ligion until you have made a
study of both and one or the
other has come to real belief
in the religion that may not be
his or her own. If that doesn't

new religion through love Of a
person, not the religion.

DR.. Mr.. Antheil: I am a

looking girl. But so far as
young men are concerned, 1 am
out of the picture. I have a
good position, am "a, and have
been working five years. I have
a wonderful family, good home,
can bring my friends home and
be assured they will be treated
royalty. In spite of all my
good fortune, I would like to
marry, have a home and chill
dren of my own. I have just
about come to the conclusion
that this is not for me and I am
destined to become an old maid.
Is this the wrong outlook or am
I normal to want these things?
LONELY"
It is normal for you to want
q home, husband and babies but
not at all normal for you not
to have boy friends. The
trouble with letters such as
yours is that you girls tell me
all the wonderful things about
yourselves and overlook the
things that may explain your
beauless state.
You're Taken
Wrong Route
If you keep on thinking OF
yourself as you have described
that self, you won't get any
wnere. 1t is the wrong way
to go at the problem. Look
upon yourself as lacking some
thing that draws men to you
and then find out what it il
you lack. You can keep OF
counting your virtues and ad
vantages for years, but tina
won't bring marriage closer

to run her household well and
