Dear Mrs. Thompson: I love a girl with whom I have been going more than any one I have ever known, but she does not seem to care much for me. When she Is with me she seems to love me, but she goes with other men - and doesn't want me to know it. We are engaged and I have started to furnish my house. I do everything I can. Every Saturday I spend $10 on her at town. What shall I do? LONESOME GUT. The girl lacks honor if what you Bay is true. Unless she stops going with other men, I should advise you not to marry her. Surely yau do not want a faithless wife. She may care for you because of the money you spend on her. If I were you I would stay away from town two or three Saturday nights and see If she cares for you then. Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please Buggeet a three-course lap wedding dinner. We have thought of- having salad, sandwiches chicken and pickles for the first course and ice cream and

to fill in the second. Also when would we serve the coffee? MR. G. S. I would suggest that you serve chicken salad, sandwiches, and pickles for the first course, ice cream, cake andnuts for the second; coffee for the third. Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two chums and always together. We are both considered good looking. Our friends are always peeved at us because we speak to their beaux. .They say we are trying to go with them. We have told these girls that we mean nothing by merely speaking to the boys. v CAPTALA AND GEVENOLA. Probably you speak to the young men In such a way that your girl things think you are flirting. Never stand and talk to them. Simply smile and say good morning and then pass on. It is most unfortunate to get the reputation of being a flirt because then you can not associate with the better class of men and women.
She Married An Average Man BY ZOH BBCKIJBT
Back home again. Jim, who fears X have been really 111, not merely upset In mind, is kind and devoted. Before I went away we Beemed to have little to talk about. Since my return we have found a dozen fresh subjects and revived many old ones. This leads me to think that short vacations for husbands and wives are grand little cure-alls. I am not so Bure about long ones. Probably if I had stayed away from Jim a year, . and then come back we wouldn't have had a word to say! We would no ' longer have anything in common. We would have grown used to each other's absence and our interests, completely separated, would leave nothing for discussion. Best of all, perhaps, mother-in-law Is going to morrow to visit her married daughter! Some day I am going to establish a school to teach mothers how to use for their own profit the many good years which remain to them after their children marry and have homes of their own! I used to think the mother-in-law Joke was unjust and vulgar. Now I know that while there may be white blackbirds and snowstorms in August, they are about as frequent as the mother-in-law who can live in her offspring's home without disrupting it even though she has the best of good Intentions. I hereby register a solemn vow that If I have married children I shall refuse to live with them or visit them for more than a day at a stretch, no matter how exceptional the circumstances appear to be. I shall have independent quarters of my own (and work, too, I hope), if I have to enter a home for old ladies! Having got this off my mind, I shall proceed to the fact that a strange thing happened this evening. It puz
zles me yet Athena, Peter Landls and Eric Sands came to see us. Now Jim in his own house is not like Jim out visiting. At Athena's, for instance, he usually acts like an early Christian martyr about to be burned at the stake. His conversation reminds one of a clam in a bed of ice. But at home, no matter if his callers are persons he greatly dis i likes, he is the courteous, genial host. It is one of the things I admire about Jim. I quaked a little at the awkward.
FOREMAN LARGEST PLANT IT'S KIND IN ALL THE WORLD Mr. Lester Oliver, of Ball Bros. Glass Mfs. Co., Declares the
. New Medicine Dreco, Has Done His Wife a Great
Amount of Good.
Relieved Nervous Headaches, Overcame Constipation,
Cleansed Her Liver, Ban
ished Dizzv Spells and
. Strengthened the Kidneys. There is hardly a home 4n the iU. S. A. but what knows the "Mason
Fruit Jar" made by Ball Bros. Glass
"Mfg. Co., of Muncie, Ind. In this ciant plant there is a man named Mr.
Lester Oliver, who has been there
three years as foreman and who re-
sides at 2200 Godman's Ave., Muncie.
Mr. Oliver says:
" "My wife has been 6ick for some . time and could not find the right medicine to get her well. One day she
t read about the new medicine, Dreco. and felt that she wanted to give it a trial. Her liver was sluggish and . gave her headaches, dizzy spells and she could see spots floating before her - eyes. Her bowels wer constipated and ,her kidneys caused her to get up several times during the night Her whole
'system was frail and rundown.
; "She has now taken two bottles of ; Dreco and it is astonishing how this ; medicine has helped her. It is easy to
i see her improvement and she is feelIng so much better. Her liver has been cleansed off so that she no longer gets dizzy, nor ever has a head-
ache. Bowels act regular every day and her kidneys are so much stronger
ithat she never gets up a single time ; during the night now. She feels good,
jlhas a fine appetite; nerves are quiet-
led; has a good color in fact, she thinks Dreco the greatest medicine -fBhe ever took." Dreco is composed of the juices and . ; extracts of many different roots, herbs, ; barks and leaves, which act on the 'stomach, kidneys, liver and bowels,
Jand purify the blood. It relieves constipation, prevents gas forming in the stomach, increases the appetite, in
sures sound, refreshing sleep, banishes catarrh of the head, and takes the pain out of rheumatic joints. Mr. Powers, the well known Dreco expert, has headquarters at Thistlethwaite's Drug Store, to meet the local public and explain the merits of this great remedy. See him today. Adv.
somewhat Indelicate, situation of my
husband entertaining Eric Sands
the man who I do not pretend to deny
has disturbed my heart and brain to
the point where I had to run away to regain my balance.
But I might have spared myself the
anxiety. For it was while I listened to the conversation of those three men
so different in type (Landis, the sue
cessful painted; J'm, the business
man; Eric, man of letters and dream er) that I made my great discovery.
I suddenly realized that Eric Sands, out of his native environment, is an entirely different man from Eric Sands in England. It was as if I had
seen the reverse side of some attractive fabric a mass of loose ends, uneven threads, knots and blemishes, which showed it to be imperfect and undurable after all. In England Eric fitted into the picture harmoniously, perfectly. He "be
longed." He enchanted me. He was i
romance and adventure incarnate.
And I preserved the picture In my
memory Intact I could not help seeing tonight that even his valorous record as a soldier,
men it Is our American habit to admire. He has the European mind.
The artistic mind, the mind where "dolce far niente" takes the place of
"hustle." r ' Yet, despite my clearer : vision, lie
