Gerald. You grieve that your
passions are so strong, do youP All
right. mix in n little of your morals,
which are weak enough to thin them
down.


Little Buttercup writes: How
can Imend a crystal goblet that has got
hole punched through its sideP"
You can't repair it permanently, but if
you stick your thumb in the hole when
you are using the gobletit will answer
for all practical purposes.


Mary Ann says she is "a weary"
and complains that woman's work
goes on forever So it docs, and we
are glad of it. But that doesn't affect
you. Bless your soul. you don't go on
forever; you don't have all the work to
do, not even while you live. Mans
work goes on forever, too, we hope, but
that doesn't fret us particle. We are
not going to stay here and do it all
Bless you, no, we are not goinS to do
our own any longer than we have to.
Brace up, Mary Ann, and don't you fret
about the work that g goes on forever"
You're not going on with your work
more than forty or fifty years longer,
Mary Ann, and don't you forget it.


Mrs. Blodsoe" wants to know
which is the quickest way to make ice
cream without q freezerP" Buy it in
one of those little pasteboard boxes they

"Gentle Annie" is in a desponding
mood this week. She begins her sad
plant by asking "Will they forget us
when we are gomez" Youmay bet your
sweet life, Gentle Annie, they will.
They will forget us so completely they
won't even be positive where we have
gone.


Marguerite" asks if "a woman
should marry man whom she respects
and esteems, but does not love, for his
money!" Oh, no, Marguerite, n-no, not
exactly that. You should not marry
him for his money, unless you can't alb
solutely get it any other way. But if
you do really respect" the man, you
might love his money, and then you
would have all the ingredients for
happy match, anyhow. We wouldn't
advise you to marry a man for his
money alone; nor, on the other hand,
Marguerite, would we advise you to
marry a man merely for the sake of his
poverty; there is neither merit or novel
ty in that. But you should marry him,
even though he is rich as Crnsus, be-
cause, by the way, Marguerite, you didn't
say that this rich man had asked you or
wanted you to marry himP How is
that, by the way?


Baby Mine" says "she is just crying
her eyes out, because she is not pretty,
and she feels lonely and nobody loves
her, and she longs for some sympathetic
heart that can feel for her troubles and
drop words of sympathy like healing
balm into her lovely life" Baby
Mine," hush itright up; not another line
of It'll not whisper. You scare us to
death and we haven't word of sympa-
thy for you. We are married man,
with boy old enough, or at least smart
enough, to go to college; we are the busy
head of pleasant, happy household,
and we are not going to be decoyed off
into any sympathetic streaks, not by all
t .e lonely women in America. Dry it up; !;
and the next time you write to this de-
partmeht, tell us how to make water
crimps that will last all night and won't
straighten out in one hot afternoon
Lonely" are youp Then why don't
you 90 to the sociable, where you will
meet so many other lonely people that
you will feel happyP "LonelyP"
