than one sip Of it. If you do, 1t will
go to your head and make you do
foolish things, because the profess
sional lover only asks for your heart,
not for your hand. He is particu-
larly dangerous for girls who have
few dates.
Then there is the sympathetic
flirt who prays on young married
women. He knows that women
adore wallowing in pity and he
hands it out to them in gobs.
Even while he is drinking a mans
cocktails he is making his wife feel
that she is married to a dull, in
sensate clod who does not appreciate
her. and that he is the only one who
understands her.
Many a woman has divorced her
husband and lost a good home by
listening to a parlor snake who
charmed her away from her hus-
band, but whose sympathy didn't
go as far as the altar.
Then there is the married flirt.
Stuff cotton in your ears, daughter,
so that you will be as deaf as the
proverbial adder of the Scriptures
when a married man begins telling
you how lonely he is; that his wife
does not appreciate him ana is no
companion to him. and that the
only sunshine he finds in his blighted
life is you.
He is playing safe, because II it
comes to a showdown he can always
hide behind his Wife's skirts, and tell
you that he cannot marry you be-
cause he cannot bear to break up his
home and desert his poor little chill
dren. Any girl who falls for a mar
ried f1irt deserves what she gets. But
don't let 1t be you.
All of which sums up into saying
Watch your step, daughter, when
you play the love game. Lend your
ears when youth wants to pour
sweet talk into them. but filter it
through your brain before you let it
touch your heart.
Don't believe every man who tells
you that you are the one and only,
but never mentions "a trip to the
parson. Plenty of men swear eternal
devotion to a girl just because they
think it is the one surefire way to
entertain her.
Others do it because they like to
dramatic themselves as great lovers.
And with others it is simply.a habit.
Of course. in the end you have to
take mans word for it about
whether he loves you or not, but his
words are nothing but pleasant con-
versation until he pops the question.

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
When a Man Is Really in Love
He Proves 1t by Proposing
at the m Omenf.

A great many girls ask how they
can tell when a man is in love with
them. Well, the only reliable way
of ascertaining the state of mans
affections is the Wedding-ring test
Unless he pops the question and
offers to assume your board bill and
shopping ticket for life you may be
certain that his attentions are with
out intentions. Because a man mo-
nopolizes your time and drives every
other man away is no sign that he is
in love with you. He may enjoy
your companionship when he can
get it without paying for it. He
may like your mothers cooking and
find 1t cheaper to be hauled about
in your car than to pay for taxi
But it is no indication that you have
even scratched his heart, to say
nothing of having made a perma-
nent dent in it. Don't delude your
self into believing that you can
gauge the state of a mans affection
by the expression in his eyes 1t is
the light that lies and lies and lies.
That deep, tender, soulful gaze may
mean undying devotion or it may
merely indicate that he was born
in Mississippi. And, above all, don
fool yourself into thinking that some
man is cherishing a great silent pas
sion for you and that the reason he
doesn't speak is because he is too
timid No man ever hesitates about
asking for the thing he wants.
Don't take Iovemaking too seri-
ously. Don't let your little heart 90
pitapat when good looking lad
tells you that YOU are the girl he has
been seeking all his life, and asks
where you have been all this time
that he has never met you before.
1t is just his line. and it isn't even
sportsmanlike to expect him tc
make good on it, He will be saying
the same thing to generations of
girls until he is 80
The world Is full OF men f1irts,
daughter. Study their tricks and
their manners and you will be able
to tell at sight which one is a good

Watch out for what may be called
the professional lovemaker. You
can tell him by the glibness with
which he does it. He fancies himself
as a Romeo and believes that no
female can resist him.
He has a caressing way with him
and a romantic repertoire and is
strong for the love at first sight
theory. He tells you that the in

Cooking Apples

Experienced apple cooks say they
can make almost any apple dish
with almost any variety of apples
But that calls for special cooking
skill. In general, apples divide into
two classes-tart and non-tart

effective with a fellow who was
really in love with you, they mean
little to the talent scout who is
merely trying to see just how much
romance he can get away with on
date with you.
For this type of boy, complete
lack of cooperation is probably the
best medicine. Kisses are like quar-
rels: 1t takes two to make them
or, at any rate, to make them good.
A cold-asa-fish, absolutely un-
interested attitude will discourage
most habitual PETERS. They simply
won't get any kick out Of kissing
girl who is unco-operative and
unwilling.
You don't have to be shocked or
outraged, either. Just bored and
mildly annoyed. Nothing is so
devastating to masculine ardor as
this. And if you're cordial and
friendly to him otherwise, gay and
spirited and responsive in your other
attitudes, you don't need to worry
about his getting the idea that
you're just a cold potato"
Rather, he'll understand that you
have perfect control over your feel
ings, and that he's got to offer
more than a smooth line and a
strong arm to get any affection from
you.
Sometimes it is effective to add
a verbal accompaniment to this not
interested treatment You might
say, "Of course, I can't stop you,
simply because you're bigger and
stronger than I am. but l don't
like it This will make most fel-
lows feel somewhat ashamed of
themselves, and they'll let you
alone.
Once in a while, you'll run into
boy whom no girl can handle
short of actual fight. These fel-
lows are known among the co-edsG
so keep away from them As soon
as the other boys find out how you
react to petting, most of them will
be satisfied. If they like you other
wise, they'll continue to date you.
And they'll admire and respect you,
even if they are somewhat annoyed
and chagrined at their failure to
get affectionate with you.

Talk Clearly
Tot Baby
Every Day
Use Pleasant Tone,
Good Accent and
Simple Words
By A neeIo Pafri

Children have to learn TO talk, and
they learn first by hearing, then by
initiating what they hear. Because
little children need 10 be left IN
quiet for many hours daily some
mothers overlook their need Of talk.
Babies need to be talked TO. every
day. Not for long periods at time,
but every once in a while for short
while. While they are being bathed
is a good time to talk to them.
When they are lying wide awake
and smiling is another good time.
Talk to them in a clear, pleasant
voice, III good English, or whatever
language you want them to learn
first. Our children speak the Eng
liSh tongue and it is the part OF good
sense to talk it to them early, during
their learning time But if, for any
good reason the baby is to learn
language other than English, talk
it to him in his crib. What he
learns then is what will stay by him.
Don't talk baby talk. Talk to him
in simple words, but say them as
clearly as you know how. Don't
whisper and don't shout. Use the
same kind of conversational tone
you hope he will use when he begins
TO talk. Say, good morning" and
good night" Say, excuse me" If
necessary. Say, quietly, quietly"
when he begins to shrek. Say, 1T
is time for Your bath now, and pro-
ceed with it. 1T is time for your
breakfast" and serve him. These
simple statements will in time be-
come familiar to him and he will
begin to interpret them. That is
the way he learns language.
Children get their speech quality
from their mothers mainly because
they are the first ones to talk to
them, and the steadiest companions
at the time of their language growth,
1t is important then that the talk
they hear is good talk both in accent,
infection and content.
Begin in babyhood to set the
child's speech and give him the best
possible standard because what he
hears he makes his own.

This pattern is doubly useful be-
cause it includes a pretty apron
as we'll as a practical house frock.
The frock is your favorite button
to-the-hem style, such a comfort
because it's not only easy to make
and to put on but to iron, also
you can spread it out fiat on the
board. The easy, beltless waistline
will be a great comfort. too, on

Diligent Care
Of Lashes
Required
Keep Them Lovely
Through Simple
Daily Routine
Bv Patricia Lindsay

Brittle eyelashes are common
complaint of women. And many
whose lashes break off also COM
plain about their being too short.
Eyelashes, like hair, depend great
ly on nourishment from the blood
stream. II you are lacking in certain
vitamins your hair and brows and
lashes will not have the luxurious
growth for which you yearn. But
the simple habit of brushing them
two or three times a day with q
lubricant will greatly enhance their
beauty. In this way you attempt to
supply the hair with what it cannot
get from the bloodstream, and you
also avoid having the sun and air
rob the lashes of natural fabrication.
If you make it a habit to brush
your lashes and brows with an ap-
propriate lotion or cream each night
before you retire, and again after
you have finished applying your
makeup, you will be very pleased
with the improvement of your eye
lash beauty.
There are several splendid pre-
pared eyelash creams and lotions
on your cosmetic counter, and lash
brushes are sold there, too. Keep
these with your powder and lip
stick to remind you they must be
used every morning and every night.
If you grasp your lashes between
thumb and first finger and gently
tug them the blood circulation at the
roots of the hair will be stimulated.
This helps the growth, too. After
thus exercising them, dip the brush
into the lotion or cream and brush
the laShes first downward with eyes
closed, and then upward and out
ward with the eye open. Practice
will give you a steady hand for you
must never get any foreign matter
in your eye II can can avoid doing so.
Some women find that amounting
the eyelidS with a bit of vaseline
helps the growth of their lashes, as
does the use of a rich eye-wrinkle
cream which is used under the eyes
as night massage.
If you make your own eyewash. or
buy one of the well recommended
ones, you may wash your eyes every
day, especially if you live in a town
or city which is dusty Those in the
country will not find 1t necessary to
rinse the eyes more frequently than
once or twice a week unless it is dry
and dusty, too. Careful treatment of
the eyes will prevent any inf1amma-
ton or eye disease which always
takes heavy toll of eye beauty.
BY all means refrain from using any
preparation which claims to make
your eyes larger or brighter. Only
good health and careful daily treat
ment will preserve or enhance your
eye beauty.
