Dfar Mm. Thompson: I am between plghieen and nlreteen years of age and 1 have a foldier friend that I like very much. I have been corresponding with him for about three months.
but never met him until about a month ago, when I went to a hospital in the town where his camp is. He came to pee me a number of times at the hospital and was very nice to me. He seems to be a man. He told me that he liked me, but I would not believe him. Did I do right in tellIn him that I did not believe him? He seems to be vry lonely and
eried in my presence during one of his call at the hoHpital. Just recently I reeelved a letter from him In which he fMyt he Is in love with me. Do you think I ought 10 believe him? Please tell me how to answer that statement when I write to him again. I will appreciate it so much. INTERESTED READER. You did not receive his kindly statement, that he liked you, very warmly. It would have been better, I think, to tell him that you were glad because you want people to like you. When a boy tells a girl that he lovo.- her and means it, which I be
lieve this boy does, the girl should not treat the matter lightly. If you care for him, too, tell him so, but say that you nre too young to consider love seriously. Do what you can to send him to war contented, but do not maw any promises about your love, because by the time the war is over thero Is a great possibility of your lovlug someone else. If you know that vou can only care for the boy as a friend, tell him that and ny that you feel too young to consider love now. Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are girls of fourteen years. We are planning to give a party with both girls and boys present. 1. We would like to give a light lunch What refreshments would be suitable? 2. At what time should the party break up? Ts it proper for the bovs to escort the girls home? JUST WE TWO. 1. Young people enjoy ice cream more than anything else. Serve ice crt-hm and cake. Or if you do not cave to go to that expense serve hot chocolate and sandwiches. 2 The party should break up about, fen-thirty or eleven. Serve your re-
f Smart Dress for Home Wear
freshments early and your guests will go home early. 3. It is better for the boys to es
cort the girls home than for them to
go alone. Very often, however, a
girl's father or older brother calls for
her when she goes to a party in the evening. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you think
it proper for a few girls to go camping in the summer with no one older
than twenty? What should we take and about how much would it cost for ten girls for one week? R. D. I.
It would be decidedly improper for
girls to go camping with no one older than twenty to chaperone them. The cost and what you should take
would depend so much upon where
you intend to go. Ask the girl in charge of a group of Campfire Girls to advise you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1. Is it prop er for girls between the age of ten and sixteen to read love stories? 2 At what age should a girl begin to wear a skirt and waist? THANK YOU. 1. They are too young. 2. From sixteen to eighteen years. It depends upon the girl's size.
Revelations of a Wife
ill m
A SUDDEN THOUGHT Katie must have watched me return
the lavalliere back to the box and put the key away without me knowing it. Then in my absence she must have opened the box. The haste with which the ornament was thfust back showed that she had been afraid of my sudden return. She evidently had had no chance to return the things as she had found them. A sudden thought struck me. Whether she intended to steal the lavalliere or only to put it back in its place, she would probably return to the apartment in the aftemon when she was sure both Dicky and I would be away. She had the key to the kitchen door. Of course I could not risk that. I considered a moment. I knew that she had a cousin on the East side somewhere, with whom she had lived be
fore coming to me. So I wouid notj be doing wrong in barring her for the night. Then in the morning I could ! probe the matter. I did not want to; lose Katie, but of course if she were;
dishonest I would have to let her go. I fastened my lavalliere and put on my hat and cloak. The lock box I placed in my trunk, locked the trunk, and put the trunk key and my latch key to the front door in my mesh bag. Then drawing on my gloves I went to the kitchen door, bolted it, and went through my apartment again to the hall door, which I closed after me.
. A Curious Little Premonition "Taxi's here, ma'am," As I passed through the foyer of the apartment, building on my second errand to the janitor within two hours, the boy at the telephone switchboard stopped me with tne announcement of the machine's arrival. "Thank you. Will you tell him to wait, a minute or two? I am all ready
but I must speak to the janitor before I go." "Why didn't you ask me to get the Janitor for you?" I shook my head smiling. I did not wish to speak to the janitor about barring Katie from the apartment In the presence of any one else. That
was the reason I had not called mm on the 'phone or sent the boy for him
when I could not gain entrance to
my own apartment because I had mislaid my key. I had heard Dicky say once that these apartment house switchboard boys were the worst gossips to be found in the world, and I certainly did not want them discussing my affairs. Callahan appeared surprised to see me again. "Well, well, ma'am." he said jovially. "Locked out again?" "Not this time," I smiled at him. "I have my key safe in my purse, and the kitchen door is bolted. I want you to keep some one else out," Callahan looked mildly surprised.. "I have a reason for thinking that my maid may come back this afternoon," I went on hastily. "She has a key to the back door, and when she finds it bolted she may come to you. If she does, will you kindly tell her that Mrs. Graham will be gone until quite late, and that she will not need to return to the apartment until tomorrow morning? Don't say anything to offend her, you unuerstand, but do not let her in." "Sure, I understand, ma'am. You don't want one of them foreigners rummaging your place when you're not there. I'll see nobody gets in." "Thank you, Mr. Callahan. Goodday." "Good-day, ma'am." The old chap favored me with a bow that was al
most courtly- I wondered if it were because I had perplexed "Mr." to his name. I knew that the tenants generally called him "Callahan," . but I never could see why, in democratic America, one man's calling should demand a "Mr." and another man's preclude it. As I walked toward the entrance where the taxi waited I could not help smiling at the old janitor's contemptuous use of the word "foreigner." I was almost certain that he himself had not been born in America, but he evidently considered himself to be a native son, with the right of criticism of any later comers. The chauffeur stood holding the door of the taxicab open as 1 came down the steps. "One hundred and four West Eleventh street," I said as he closed the door. He nodded, toucned his cap,
and in a moment I was again rolling j
over the citv street.

WAR TIME "STAND-BYS" FOR THE CHILDREN Once upon a time there was a man cutting grass with a scythe. As the people passed by they noticed that the way he worked seemed to have something to do with what he had had for breakfast. One morning he would cut very slowly, muttering, "Coff ee and Ca akes Coff ee and Cak es." Coffee and Cakes did not seem to be right. But one morning there was a smile upon his face, the scythe was swishing back and forth right merrily. "Milk and Eggs, look out for your legs. Butter and Eggs I'll take it in kegs."

How to Judge a Woman By Her Hair
There is real common sense in just noticing whether the hair is well kept
to judj-'e of a woman's neatness, or good taste. If you are one of the1 few who try to make the most of your J hair, remember that it is not advisable i to wash your hair with any cleanser; made fur all purposes, but always use some pood shampoo. You can enjoy the very best by getting some Can-;
throx from your druggist, dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply It to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Dandruff, excess oil, and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Us luster and softness will also delight you. while th stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth. Adv.
