Thursday, Oct. 10,1912. Cynthia Grey's Answers LOVE IS NOT LOST BY TELLING ADOITED CHILD Dear Miss Grey: In reference to the woman who asks for help to decide about adjusting relations between herself and adopted child. My suggestion may help, although there have been other thoughts. She intends being as real mother in spirit as though she were mother in flesh. It is right that she should wish to be called "mother," and the child needs to call her mother; but that need not prevent her telling the child the facts as soon as it is able to understand and before others can do so. If done with understanding the explanation can be given so that the love of the relationship which is the reality need never be lost. ONE WHO CAN UNI>ERHTAND. "I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM" I>eap Miss Grey: I have been going with a nice young man for four months as I am 31 and he is 33. Two months ago I went east for a visit. I wrote to him several times, but received no answer. Now that I hare returned from the east, I would like to see or hear li him. Please advise me what to do. CHUM. A.—lf you are sure the young man received the letters, do nothing; if not, drop him a postal saying you have returned. A. MAN'S SIN Pear Miss Grey: I have been engaged to a a young lady whom I love very much. Yesterday in our course of con versa! lon, the subject of the social evil came up and she asked me if I had ever been immoral. After I told her 1 hnd at one time, she immediately broke the engagement. I)o you think she did right, as I have always l>.i n on the square with her and have been above re proach for some long time pasi? Is there any way in which I can regain her love? I know I am not as pure as the girl whom I want for a wife. Do you think it right to keep a fellow down for the past, if he is doing right now? W. Y. C. A. —No, a man should not be Judged by the past; but would you have stood the test if the girl had told you the same tale? If not, you should not expect her to do so. Your confession was probably a shock, so let her alone for awhile, and then tell her bow you saw your wrong and had for a long time lived a clean life. HE I'HOI'OSKn; BUT SHK DOKSN'T KNOW HIS NAMK Dear Miss Grey: lam a beautiful blonde of twenty years and friends are forever admiring my beauty, form, and maii> im-ix. A week ago 1 met a handsome boy at a party who called once since and proiwsed to me. I told him to ronie next niulu for an answer. 1 loved him at first sight. He lias never re turned, and Ido not know his last name, or address. Ido not Utah to consult my parents, so I come to you for advice. BnOKKN-HKAKTKI) ELLA. A.—The boy may have proposed on a "dare," because you are ■o silly about yourself. You must be blind to allow a boy, whose name you do not know, to call on you, much less propose. You are old enough to know better.

AMreM fellow. He lives at the home of one of our girl acquaintances. We feel that she is trying to prejudice him against us. We three always go out together nnd of bite he ha« accompanied us almost everywhere, lie never shows any partiality, bnt treats us all the same. The girl friend has been very hateful to us for th last couple of weeks and has told our boy friend ail soils of untrue things about us. We three love him dearly, but ore not at all jealous of each other; but we do dislike the fourth girl in the rase. A. —Include the other girl in your outings, and see if you don't grow to like her. If you feel that you cannot do this, at least pay no attention to what she says and do not say unkind things in return. I don't believe you realize how silly it is to say you are in love with the young man. TO SHAVE; OR NOT TO SHAVE? Dear Miss Grey: Your rep"*'* in the Times are always so sensible and good, that I read them, although nearly sixty years old. But when you say to "George" that a beard is a token of barbarism and that it makes most men look like billy-goats, I must object. The hum barbarous looking men I ever meet are those with a three days' stubblo ortv their face and a cigar or pipe sticking out in the center like a factory smokestack. A well kept beard is always nice, and can be trimmed and arranged in as many different ways as the long hair of a woman. And last, but not least, it is the one thing that nature bestows upon man and not on women as a rule. 1 have been "barbarous" enough to let the tail feathers and combs on my "roosters" grow, but in order to get into the "band wagon" they will have to come off now. And soon as in} good wife will cut off her long hair my upi>er lip will be cleared. lIAKHAKIAN. A.—As has been tested, a man who lives In the woods with little or no clothing reverts to a covering of hair on his entire body; hence my proof that hair on the face is a remnant of bar barism, and if woman's long hair had been the discussion it might have been included in the "remnant." Pardon me, with no disrespect to your years, I think you must not have Included yourself in the exception. True, beards may be curled, braided and tied with ribbons; but really I cannot admire them even so adorned. No hard feeling. Come again. MAMUAGE A LA CONVENIENCE Dear Miss Grey: 1 urn a man 2;i years old and would like your opinion. My mother and I have a home jointly with some encumbrance which is being handled nicely. My mother is a nur.se, and is awuy a great deal, mo do you think it would be right for me to marry while mother is working? I woi'k at my trade steady and come home and have to get my meals, or take them at a restaurant, which I dislike very much to do. Mother comes home from a rase fatigued, and gets the honse straightened around, so has but little time for pleasure. Under these conditions what Is your advice? A HACHKLOII NOT IN LOVE. A.—l think you and your mother better manage with hired help, and wait until you can marry for love. It is an insult to a girl to be married for a convenience. THE TACJOMA TIMES.
