the breakfast on a mtotor trip and will be at home after July 15 in JANE JORDAN EAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 18 and I have been going with a young man for two years. For the last year I have been engaged to him. I love him very much or think I do, but I am attracted to other fellows. I even went out on a date with one of them, but didn't enjoy myself. I met another fellow and felt strongly attracted to him. Maybe it was because he was hard to get, but I still thrill when I think of him. I find myself making excuses not to have my fiance come over on our date nights. But still I say to myself, “If I should lose him I don't know what I would do.” We have some of the things for our home. We have waited so long that I thought maybe I was just getting discouraged and I find myself thinking that I may as well have my fun how. Do you think I really love him and am just discouraged or what? I don’t want to marry a man I don't love. He is very good to me and I'm not contented unless I'm with him, yet I'm still attracted to other men. My mind is so mixed up. Can't you help me? TROUBLED MIND.
Answer—I am afraid that you are falling out of love with your young man and crave & change. You tied yourself down at too early an age before you had a chance to get acquainted with very many boys. Now that you are older you may require a different type of man but are bound ta your girlhood sweetheart by ties of habit. Of course you would miss him if you gave him up. Of course you would have regrets. I don't know that this is what you should do, but I do feel that you should have other dates and give yourself a chance to see other men before you settle down in such an uncertain frame of mind. If you want more experience, which is obvious, you should have it now and not after you are married. Tt is unfair to the boy to go ahead with your plans when you're aching for freedom to go out with others. ® ® ” = » ” D5 JANE JORDAN—We are four girls about the same age and have gone together for several months. In the last few weeks a neighbor girl has come home from her winter vacation. Should we take her in with us? She is younger than we are and her ideas of
pleasure differ greatly from ours. FOUR MUSKEETERS.
Answer—Are there any other girls nearer the new girl's age with whom she can chum? If so, she will be happier in a group whose interests are closer to hers. If not, then it would be unkind to shut her out completely, for every girl craves companionship. You do not have to include her in everything you do, but you can be friendly and invite her to join you sometimes. JANE JORDAN.

in the whole course of his life and its total setting. In our childhood we always heard Solomon spoken of as the wisest man who ever lived. The expressioh “a Solomon” has become in the world a by-word for a man of wisdom. Perhaps this reputation and tradition are based essentially upon the incident of our lesson which it is worthwhile to remember records a dream. In this dream God appeared to Solomon and asked him, “What shall I give thee?” Confronted with his great range of choice, Solomon did not ask for riches or for power, but he spoke of himself as a little child, with humility, and he asked that above all things God might give him an understanding heart to judge his people and power to discern between good and evil. The speech pleased the Lord, and in addition to wisdom the God of the dream bestowed upon him the promise of greatness with both riches and honor. Solomon awoke to find that it was a dream, but he came to Jerusalem to perform the acts of worship under the inspiration of the dream. The inference is that in his waking hours he chose to be the same Solomon that he was in the dream, seeking the wisdom of God. 2 B® B® HERE is a great deal in his
career that justifies that reputation for wisdom. He made

One recalls the story in connection with the life of Solomon, for it would seem that there is no man—unless it be his father, David—in whom the extremes of glory and defeat are so inextricably interwoven
the great task of his life and reign the building of the Temple which David had been forbidden to build because, in spite of his beginnings as a shepherd boy with the love of poetry and music, he was really a man of blood. The prayer that Solomon made at the dedication of the Temple, as recorded in the Old Testament, tells of a glory even greater than the building itself—a discerning prayer, not boastful, or glorying in the greatness and beauty of the Temple, but mindful that the God of the Temple was a God of the whole universe, and that if the whole world could not contain him, much less the house that Solomon built.
All this speaks of a great and good Solomon. But there were other aspects of the man. He did
not show much wisdom either in the choice or the multiplicity of his wives; and although the people were willing to suffer as long as the glory of his reign and his building projects was emphasized, the complaint and disruption immediately following upon Solomon's death revealed the extent to which the magnificance of his reign, and even the building of the Temple, had been based upon the heavy burden of taxation extorted from the people.
