Task Probably Toughest
Terry Hos Encountered

Pulling the Giants out of the rut
and sending them along toward the
top of the league may be task
harder than any Terry has faced
since he took over the management
of the club in 1882. 1t figures that
way.
Under Terry the Giants finished
In tie for sixth place in 1882. This
was the team that generally had
been picked to win the pennant that
spring, with McGraW still in COM
mand. But something had hap
pened to it and McGraW's grip on it
had Weakened McGraw had turned
his command over to Terry, but by
that itme-although it was only
June-the decline of the Giants had
progressed so far that Bill couldn t
do anything about it. They were in
last place when he got them and
he hoisted them up as far as sixth,
but there they stuck.
Bill proved right there that he
could work we'll in adversely. He
shuffled his material, made a few
deals-and came up with the pen
nant and the world championship
In 1888 He missed the 1884 and
and 1885 and came back to win in
1886 and 1887. But to my mind,
the best job he has done so far was
to land the Giants in third place
last year.

quite a while and / have beel
thinking of giving up this job ant
going into the hair dressing bust
ness. Should /?
| Ans: No, / don't think thai
would be very practical. You d.
not have a license, and it will bt
necessary for you to go to schOO
and secure your license before you
can start operating. Stay in the
shop where you are working and
take course of study in beauty
culture at night.
L. B. B.: What is the matter
with my husband, is it jealousy,
craziness, or just plain meanness
He runs me crazy.
Ans: Well, Sister, he is plenty
wise to you and ''B. F." and if you
don't stop your relations with him,
your husband will go so crazy that
your life won't be worth a dime.
No married man should have out
side friends, and you cannot live
with your husband and have boy
friends, too.
M. C. B.: l have been CORE
spending with a boy for the past
year and a half. We met during
my senior year and haven't seen
each other since. Now he writes
that he loves me and wants me to
marry him when he finishes col
lege, and / wonder if | should take
him seriously?
Ans: He has loved you ever
since he has known you and he is
quite sincere in wanting you to
mean more to his future life. AL
though time changes people as well
as their opinions and likes +. for
that reason do not accept his pro-
pOsal until you two have been able
to meet again.
L. M: / read your column and
enjoy it so much. Tell me if / will
be a band leader and a dancer? /
believe that / know how to do both
and just waiting for my chance.
Ans: Being musically talented,
there is a possibility of your be-
coming both but you will GER
tainly have to work hard in order
to accomplish this desire. You
need practice in both playing and
dancing and at least three hours a
day. Your next step is to arrange
to join a good orchestra in your
city and you will gradually work
up.
R. L. B.: have been with my
husband for 33 years and now he
will not give me his money like he
used to do. Must / leave home?
Tell me how to send the 25c
through mail?
Ans: Do not give up your home
under any condition. Your husband
is going through very trying time
in his life and he will settle down
and act the part of a husband in a
few months at least. Try to over
look his shortcomings for he will
do better later on. You can wrap
the quarter securely in a piece of
paper and it will come through the
mail all right. l will send my new
1910 AstrOlOgy Reading to you i'm
mediately afterwards.
E. S.: How soon will my hus-
band and I get situated to ourselves
like we wish to be?
Ans: Sometime after the first
of the coming year you will be in a
position financially to get a place
of your own and be very happy.
Right now, economic and save
every cent that you can as it does
take so much to begin hOusekeep-
ing.
P. S.: Does this man really mean
well, as he has certainly proved
his love for me while on my death
bed?
Ans: He is very much in love
with you and just as soon as his
divorce becomes final :. he is go
ing to make you his wife. This
man will be kind and considerate to
your children and will make you q
very good provider.
