THAT men count beauty to a
great extent in their choice OF

of popular thinking. They gave
first place to ability to entertain,
second to intelligence, and THIRD
to beauty, with consideration last.
There were fourteen traits on

are wrapped carefully and put

twice during December they are
unWrapped each sprinkled with
one tablespoon of wine and then
reWrapped after the wine has been
absorbed.
Sometimes fruit cake becomes
very hard. If it does wrap it in a
cloth saturated with orange or

alright box.

Dear Miss Leaf:
I am very much in love with a
boy, who once said he loved me
and for about year, he acted as
if he loved me. But now, he acts
as if he doesn't care anything for
me. He hasn't come to see me in
about month. 1 am trying to
forget him, do you think I am do
ing right?
My sister has a very nice boy
friend and his brother comes with
him to see my sister. / have been
out with him once and he says
that he would like to be my boy

What do YOU think 1 ought to do?
I still love this other boy.

Love has to be mutual to beget
happiness and unless you are sure
that the fellow loves you, you are
wasting your time to be waiting.
If he loves you, he will come back
to YOU. In the meantime, go out
with this other fellow and enjoy
his company. Have little pride
with this love business if he does
not seem to love you, let his go
fly a kite.
There are too many nice fellows
in this wide world to go broodlng
over one alone. because he does not
think as you do The fact that you
cared so much for him and let him
know it may be the cause for ms
Indifference now. You have TO
study men closely to determine
what kind of treatment is good or
bad for them.
Some, you must show the love
and afection you have for them 10

different and act as if you doll't
