, Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am ;v viora
an thirty-three years old and i have given music lessons In the west for
several yeais. This Is my home tov.n. but several years ago my mother .r.il father and 1 moved' to California Nor
both my father and mother are dead and T um an orphan. ! ha e several brothers and si3terB but they are Jealous of me becausa I am the youngest cvild and they think 1 was my parent's favorite. In California I met a man ilve years older than : am. He loved me from the first ard wanted to marry me, but I refused because although I liked him I did not love him. Ncv that
my mother has Just died he is. the only one I have in the world. I csavno. go to my brothers and sisters bcai'Ke thty would not welcome me. This man writes and asks if ho may come hero with a view to marrying me.
i aon t understand myself. I did not love hira before, but now 1 am Rlad that he wants to come and I would like to marry him. Do you think it would be honest to marry him since I did not love him enough to do so before and am not sure that I do now? I am so lonely that I feel deep fovo for him now. ' LONESOME. Perhaps it has taken the death of your mother to open your eyej. As long as you feel love for the man I think you can marry him honorably. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am ffing with two girls and they are fricudc or rather used to be. I don t krow which gir II like better because they are so different. 'One girl dances and plays the piano and I like ti:at. and the other girl is more interesting to taik to. The girls have been churns until I started to go with both of them. The girl who Is the interesting alk r introduced rue to be friend, i do rot care to come between them nul so I feel I must make a choice. V hi 'h shall it be? It is like tossing a p-nny ard so I thought I would write to you instead. - AVIhLIi:. To drop one girl would not hel' to make the f.irls good friend.-? aain. It would onlv cause hard feUm ho.

My sympathies are wlili rh? girl who is the good talker, because she introduced you to the ether girl and has to be generous to let you divide your attention.
does not mean to keep his promise?
(2) If he does not tell them his In
tendon toward their daughic: hew
should the parents treat him? ' S. (1) When a boy wants to keep an engagement an absolute aecrsi jt is almost always because he Is not sure ho loves the girl and wants a loophole so that he can drop the girl if ho Urea of her and no one will be the wiser. If, however, the engagement is not a secret and the boy merely objects to telling the parents, thiit is not his reason. Ho is probab'y bashful and does not feel the importance of the little courtesy.. (2) If the boy does not tell the parents, but they know anyway and do not object, they should treat bim at: a future son-in-law Just a if he htd tc'.d them.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Can girls go to France without speaking French? INQUISITIVE. Perhaps a few are taken without knowing how to speak French but in almost all cases that is one cf the requirements.
Revelations of a Wife

I'LL KEEP QUIET "Me want my boat," he cried, struggling in my arms. "My boat losted." "Where is your mamma, Gordon?" Callahan's manner was gentle, his tone soft. "Down town." The baby's eyes still were fixed tearfully on the bathtub. "Where's Mary?" "In dere." He pointed to the bedroom. "Mary put Jack by-by, and she go by-by, too. She fought me was byby, ioo, but me fooled her." The little rogue chuckled, and Callahan muttering savagely to himself, went to the door of the bedroom, and knocked loudly. "Here, you, Mary," he called roughly, come out of that." I heard a startled exclamation from the" bedroom, and the next instant a slovenly looking girl with a weak face came slowly out of the room. "Why, I must have dropped to sleep," she said foolishly. "Do you know what has happened while you dropped to sleep?" demanded Callahan sternly. "This baby has been wandering around the apartment, opening all the gas jets and wUer faucets he could find. If this lady hadn't been alarmed by the water from the bathtub flooding her kitchen, the child would have been dead when you woke up, if you ever did wake, with all that gas escaping. He was just climbing into the bathtub when we got here." "Why, Gordon, you naughty boy," the girl exclaimed weakly. "Never mind scolding the baby. He isn't to blame. What do you suppose Mrs. McGovern will think " "Oh, you won't tell her?" The girl looked terror-stricken.
"I'll see. Depends n bow you act" Callahan returned non-eommittaliyi "By the way, you won't be able to get any water for a while I're turned It off, and I'm going to keep It off till I've found out whether there la any leak In the pipeB anywhere. Do you think you can keep awake now until your mistress gets back?" "Oh, yes. Mr. Callahan." The girl evidently, was fully awake. "Please do'nt tell her." "Will you promise never to do a thing like this again?" "Oh, yes, sir." "All right, then." Callahan returned gruffly. "I'll keep quiet this time, but the next time " His tone was threatening, and Mary wilted visibly before it. I followed him out of the apartment with a feeling of resentment against his proposed shielding of the girl. She had endangered the lives of little children by her carelessness. If I had been the mother of the children whose lives she had Jeopardized, I should never have forgiven the persons who withheld from mo the knowledge of her carelessness. "Mr. Callahan, do you mean you are not going to tell Mrs. McGovern, I think you called her, about that maid's carelessness?" My indignation had gotten the better of my natural disinclination to meddle with things which did not concern me. The janitor flushed In embarrassed fashion as he answered: "I hate to get a poor girl's job, ma'am. I'm a workingman myself, and I don't like to take the bread and butter out of anybody's mouth." "I understand that fully." I returned, "but that girl is dangerous in that position." "I know it, ma'am," Callahan said worriedly, "yet I haven't the heart to tell on her. Maybe you'd see Mrs. McGovern?" His tone was insinuating, but I could not tell from it whether the suggestion contained a hidden wish that I denounce the girl, or a fear that I might do so. I had opened my mouth to tell him that I would see Mrs. McGovern when a sudden remembrance closed it. The humiliating experience I had had with the woman across the hall flashed across my mind. In her absence her maid had brought her baby to my apartment in a convulsion. Its life had been saved, and the next day she had virtually snubbed me. No, the affair was strictly none of mine. "No. Mr. Callahan," I said decidedly.
"I could not possibly think of interfer- j
ing in the affairs of a stranger." "Of course not," he agreed quickly. "Good day, ma'am." He touched his hat and moved away
while I went slowly to my own apart
ment. My conscience was troubling me. I felt in some vague way that I would be responsible if through that maid's carelessness in the future one of the children in the apartment above me should be injured.

Dean of Saleswomen in United States is Dead
Today's Beauty Help
We find you can bring out the beauty of your hair to its very best advantage by washing it with canthrox. It makes a very simple, inexpensive shampoo, which cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly of all the dandruff, dirt and excess oil, leaving a wonderfully clean, wholesome feeling. After its use you will find that the hair dries quickly and evenly, is never streaked in appearance and is always bright, soft and fluffy; so fluffy in fact that it looks more abundant than it is, and so soft that arranging it becomes
a pleasure. Just use a teaspoonfal of j canthiox which you can get from any' good druggist, dissolve it in a cup of j hot water, this makes a full cup of j shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy i
to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Adv.
