Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl thirty-three years of age and I have worked ever since I was - nineteen, when my. father died. I liked business and made a success of myself as a stenographer and then as a private secretary. One time when

my employer was called to another city to attend to some work he took me and his wife. While we were there I met a very interesting man ' almost ten years older than I am. He took a great fancy to me and would not give me up even when I got back home. He wrote to' me very often, sent me gifts of books, bric-a-brac and other are trinkets. He is English and very much Interested in art. I like him very much, but I do not love him. Often I think it would be impossible for me to love anyone but my mother, who is still with me. This man has asked me to marry him and has even consented to come here and work and to let me go on with my work as long as I want to keep it up. I don't know what to do. He Is very good to my mother and she thinks I should marry him. What do you think? MRY T Such a problem you must decide for yourseir. AH of use are not fortunate enough to be thrillingly In love. If you care for the man and want to make him happy I do not think you could make a mistake in marrying him since he loves you so much. When your mother is gone you will be very glad to know that you belong to some one and some one belongs to yu. Life is desolate for a woman when all her family Is gone if she is unmarried and has no home of her own. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) We go MRJ1, MENU HINT (Wheatless Day) Breakfast. Apple Sauce with Honey. Panned Rice Cakes. Coffee. Luncheon. Cauliflower and White Bean Soup. Thin Oatmeal Cake. Sliced Oranges and Bananas. Dinner. Vegetable Soup. Broiled Salmon Steak. Rlced Potatoes. Peas. Peach Marmalade Junket. THINGS WORTH KNOWING Make crib sheets of white cotton flannel. They are cheaper than those you buy, besides being warmer and easier to launder. To save the scraps, get a few hens, keep them in a warm place and feed them the scraps from the kitchen, of which there are bound to be some- especially where there are children. Basting children's mittens to the coat sleeve at the wrist prevents snow getting up the sleeve, thereby keeping the hands warm while at the same time the mittens are always In place and found when wanted. It is impossible for the child to lose them. In these days of high prices table linen purchase two yards of bleached sheeting, two yards wide, which makes a square to cover the average dining table. Bind on right side with Revelations BY ADELE HOW DICKY SECURED GRACE DRAPER FOR A MODEL I followed Dicky downstairs, my heart full of resentment against him. As we came into the lower hall, Mrs. Gorman met us, her eyes red, but her composure restored. Evidently her sister had used the few moments of our absence to advantage. "I am sorry I was so rough," she said to me. Her manner had the effect of ignoring Dicky. I felt that for some reason she still distrusted his motives, although assured of- his reliability. "I suppose I ought to be thankful Grace has this chance, but it's all so different to what I've always been used to." "I am sure you will approve of it all when you know what the work really is," I heard myself assuring her. "If your sister wishes to pursue her art 6tudies I can hardly imagine a better opportunity for her than this one," "Oh, you do not know how that relieves my mind," she said, shaking my hand warmly. I thought I detected the faintest glimpse of a smile upon Miss Draper's face. I wondered if secretly ehe was .amused by the contrast between my words and what I was Inwardly feeling. I suspected that she was uncannily conscious of my sentiments toward her. "When do you wish me to begin work?" Miss Draper asked Dicky. "I will drop you a postal, notifying you a day or two ahead of time," he returned. We went out of the house and down he path to the gate before Dicky spoke. "That was awfully decent of you Madge, to square things with Mrs. Gorman like that. I appreciate it, I assure you." "It was nothing," I said dispiritedly. I felt suddenly tired and eld. "But I wish you would do something for me, Dicky." ' "Name it, and it is. yours," Dicky spoke grandiloquently. ' "Take me home. We can see the harbor another time. I really feel too tired to do any more today." Dicky opened his mouth, evidently to remind me that my fatigue was of sudden development, but closed it again, and turned in silence toward tho railroad station. We had a silent

to school, but we don't like our teacher very well. - Can you tell us how to get more interest In our studies? . . (2) We are fourteen and fifteen. Are we too young to go with boys? Our parents are willing and we don't stay out late at night. .. . 1 (3) We are In love with two boys and they are brothers. How can we win their friendship? They are mad because we would not receive a ring for a -birthday present.. Did we do right? (4) One of our boy friends is going to war. Should we write to him? ELIZABETH AND BESSIE. (1) Almost any subject will Interest you if you get into it deeply enough and really study hard. Forget boys and everything else when you are studying and you will find you get along all right and like your teachers better. (2) Yon are too, young to go with boys. (3) You did do the right thing in not accepting the rings. You should not try to win their friendship.

(4) No. Keep your mind on your school work. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1), I am a girl fifteen years of age and have been very good friends with a boy eleven montns my senior, we naa a quarrel a while ago and as the cir cumstances stand it was my place to apologize first. I did so, but the boy seems to act so distant. What can I do to regain his friendship? (1) I am going to a party at which each girl asks a boy. Would it be proper and all right for me to ask this boy? A FRIEND IN NEED. (1) Do not let the boy's distance trouble you. It means that he is no longer a friend and you should accept the situation. Find new friends. Speak to the boy, but be absolutely Independent and do not let the things he does concern you in any way, and do not try to regain his friendship. (2) You should not invited him to the party the way things stand now. Unless he Invites you to go somewhere else before then, do not ask 4 him.

Neither Dicky nor I spoke, except to exchange ihe veriest commonplaces. We reached home about 5 o'clock to Katie's surprise. "I'll hurry, get dinner," she said, evidently much flurried. "We're not very hungry. Katie," I said. "Some cold meat and bread and butter, those little potato cakes you make so nicely, some sliced bananas for Mr. Graham and some coffee that will be sufficient." For my own part I felt that I never wished to see or hear or food again. The silent journey home, added to the events of the day, had brought on one of my ugly morbid moods. A Letter from Dicky's Mother and the Problem It Caused "Bad news, Dicky?" We were seated at the breakfast table, Dicky and I,-the morning after our. trip to Marvin, from which I had returned weary of body and sick of mind. Tacitly we had avoided all discussion of Grace Draper, the beautiful girl Dicky had discovered there and engaged as a model for his drawings, promising to help her with her art studies. But because of my feeling toward Dicky's plans breakfast had been a formal affair. Then had come a special delivery letter for Dicky. He had read it twice and was turning back for a third perusal when my, query made him raise his eyes. "In a way, yes," he said slowly. Then after a pause. "Read it." He held out the letter. It was postmarked Detroit. Th writing reminded me of my mother; it was the hand of a woman of the older generation. "My darling son," it began, "Edwin has just decided to go over to the other side to help in the relief work. The wealthy men who are sending a corps of physicians and nurses from here are insisting that he must head the expedition. Of course, Harriet will not let him go without her.. You know what that means, Richard. My home here will be broken up. Elizabeth's home is impossible because of the children. I love them dearly. I enjoy them for a short visit, but with my heart and my nerves I cannot stand it to live there. Besides, you

know William and I are not as congenial as. we might be. "So there is just you left, my boy. I have always said that a mother's place was with her daughters, that there was no room in the same house for a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law, but I do not know what else to do. I could live alone on what little I have and what you send me, but I do not dare to do it on account of my heart. And of course I know that you would not allow me to do it if I dared try the experiment. I never have seen your wife, but from what "you have written me I am sure she is a very sensible woman, and that we shall get on very well together. I know she is good to you and that, after all, is the only thing that counts with a mother.
