Heart OTome SX l MRX.ELrlZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: One of the boys in this town has caused a great deal of unhapplness and trouble by his fickleness and Insincerity, and

we are two respectable girls who know what is right and what is wrong

and we think he ought to be punished in some way. He is somewhat older than the other boys in our crowd , and has the advantage of having gone . to school away from here, lie picks out first one girl and then another and he goes with Just the one until he gets caring very much for him, and then he drops her and goes with the . next one. Each time he does this the girl's heart

Is broken and we think it is too bad that he is allowed to do it What shall we do? If he begins going with one of us bow should we act? SISTERS. . For the present the only thing that you can dc is to pay no attention either to the boy or to his love affairs. Unless he tries to force his attentions on you, you have no say in the matter at all. I see in your letter a spark of Jealousy. I believe that either of you, if given the chance, would like to have the notoriety of

going with him.. But it Is, best for

you not to do so. If you can conquer your jealousy and be brave and strong when your turn comes, you can teach

all the girls In the neighborhood a les

son. If you refuse his attentions you

will have done your duty. But you must be firm and not be tempted by his attentions as the "other girls have

been. You have, no doubt, heard the

story of the moth and the flame. You,

too. must be careful that your wings

are not singed. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl

nineteen years old and . in the junior

class at high school. , The . gins m other classes do not have much to do with me either on the street or in school. Some will not even speak if I do.speak. . I have good clothes, but not expensive ones and I always try to be neat. I have taken music lessons for a long time and can play fairly well, but dont care to play ragtime. I treat the girls the best I know how, but they don't seem to care to have me around. I can't take part in school activities because of my health. I miss from one to three months of school every year. I do not go to class parties because I do not enjoy myself when I do co because of the way the boys and

girls treat me. What can I do so that

they will act different toward me? BOBBY.

Your poor health probably has a gr?at deal to do with your lack of popularity. Healthy girls and boys are so selfishly absorbed in their own affairs that they do not think of their schoolmates who are less rugged. They are not mean intentionally. Try to be more active. Don't sit around and wait for someone else to make a move. Just as soon as you show a keen interest in your friends and their activities they will be glad to have you one of them. Forget yourself by doing something for others. It pays to compliment girls. If a friend is wearing a pretty waist or hat don't fail to tell her so.

"But, Jack." I protested, "think how cruel you axe. How shall I know whether you are living or dead, well or ill, fighting or wounded?" ' ; Another long 6ilence. I wondered what he was debating with himself. "I am Eoinsr to let vou In on a

little secret.- he said at last 'W' have ' provided myself with the " means of knowing how you fare, and I suppose I ought to let you have the same priv- j ilege. You know Mrs. Stewart, who i keeps the boarding house where 'you

Remember, you .are married. Your husband objects to your friendship with me. I will do nothing underhand. But if anything hanoens to you. I Fhallknow it through Mrs. Stewart, and she will always know where I am and what I am doing." "That, is FTne comfort." I returned earnestly. "What tme does the Saturn Fail tomorrow.?"

Apple Dumplings Make a good rich biscuit dough of either milk or water (with milk the dumplings brown a little better). Roll out about one-quarter inch thickness and cut in squares c-f about six inches. Have apples pared and quartered and wrap the dough around them firmly; press together well.

It is just as important that . men should know of proper methods in advance of motherhood. Suffering, pain and distress incident to childbirth cau be avoided by having at hand a bottle of the time-honored preparation, Mother's Friend. This is a penetrating external application that relieves the tension upon the muscles and enable. them to expand without painful strain upon the ligaments and nerves. Thousands of women for over half a century who have used Mother's Friend tell how they entirely avoided nervous spells and nausea and preserved a bright, happy disposition that reflects wonderfully upon the character and disposition of the little one soon to open its eyes in bewilderment at the joy of his arrival. By regular use of Mother's Friend during the period the muscles are made and kept pliable and elastic. They expaDd easier when baby arrives, and pain and danger at the crisis is naturally less. You can obtain Mother's Friend at any drug store. It is for external use only, is absolutely safe and wonderfully effective. White to .t!e Bradfield Regulator Co., E-205 Lamar Bldg..

JACK BRAVELY REFUSES I did not know whether Jack was lying to me or not. but I chose to believe him. His words lifted the weight from my heart that had settled there when I first read his letter announcig his intention to Join the engineering corps in France with his friend, Caillard. "You are so good to tell me (Jiat. Jack." I said gratefully, "but I iust see you, somehow, before you go." There was a long silence at the other end of the wire. I knew instinctively what it meant. Jack was fighting a battle with himself. He wanted to see me before he left, but I knew as well as when he spoke that he would negative the proposition. "No, Margaret." I recognized the inflexibility of his tone. "Vou must not do that. Frankly, I could not bear to see you with your husband, and you must not come to see me off without him." "No Messages, Remember." "Why not?" I hotly rebelled against the decision, even though I knew Jack was right. "Don't make it hard for me, little girl. You know why not. Come now, be a brave girl and tell me 'Good bye and good luck." "I can't yet Jack," I faltered. "Tell me. am I not going to hear from jou onc in a while?" "Tell me pomething," he countered. "Can you tell me truthfully that your husband would not object to my sending vou letters?" "No. I cannot," I admitted. "But,
