Another One "Madly in
Ix>ve."
l»ear Miss Grey: I
would like to ask you a
question which I am mire
yon will answer with the
bout of advice.
I am a girl of 13, madly
in I"vi- with a boy of 10.
I have just reason to believe
that he has been associuting
with a girl who has the repu
tation of being tough. We
have known each other since
childhood. How shall I act
ton aril him, coldly or indif
ferently? I'J:ACHEB.
A. —Peaches, don't you know
you can't be mad and in love at
the same time? lam Inclined to
believe you are the former.
Is It your place to choose this
boy's companions for him? Cer
tainly not, any more than he
would have a right to choose
yours for you. You can only in
fluence each other to do right.
He may be trying to help this
girl to be better for all you
know. Treat him as you would
any other friend.
Better Tiike a IVeled Onion,
Than a liillygoat.
Hear Miss Grey: Having
read your many advices, I
come to you for sonic.
I will be 17 in a few days.
My mother insista on mo
wearing my hair straight
back over or above my ears
in v knot in the back.
Now, Miss Grey, as I do
not wunt to look like a peel
ed onion, nnd want to look
like o»her girls, mother Is
willing you should decide tlie
mutter. Anxiously waiting
your reply. MAKV.
A. —Suppose your mother and
you compromise and each come
half way. Comb your hair in a
neat, sensible way that becomes
you. Personally I would rathei
look like a peeled onion than a
poodle dog or a billygoat, as so
many of the girls do.
Kconomy Is the ltoad to
Success.
'Dear Miss (Jrey: lam a
youhk man of 21 and have
traveled considerably. Now:
I urn willing to settle down
and get a home of my own.
I have known the girl for
six mouths and we both think"
we can get nlonn all right.,
Dear Miss «rey, give me your'
advice as best you can and
tell me if I should marry
her and settle down. W. M.
A.—Young people in ordinal
circumstances must be very sav
ing for the first few years of
married life. If this girl is old
enoush, sensible and knows how
to economize in (he home, I see
no reason why you should not
marry.
Not in This Case.
Dear Miss Grey: I am a
young man 17 and have been
going with a girl of 10. She
is a nice girl and good
enough for any man; but I
don't think it is right for a
young man to marry a girl
ol«ler than himself, do you?
Please answer soon, as I am
waiting for your advice.
K. i:
A.—l should say not; nor to
marry a girl any younger either.
You are scarcely out of kinder
garten yet. Wait until you are
of age at least and then if you
still care for this girl and she
cares for you, a few years' differ
ence in age one way or the oth
er does not make a particle of
difference.
It All Depends.
Dear Miss Grey: .A man
many years my senior has
paid me much attention for
some time. The other even
ing he presented me with a
beautiful silver thimhle.
Should I keep it or give it
bark to him? Do you think
it would lead encouragement
to his advimces?
"I'KKPIiKXEIV
A. —If this man is making ad
vanceß you do not care for, why
did you not give the present back
to him when he presented It to
you and tell him you could "not
accept it?
It all depends on the circum
stances, your age and bis dispo
sition. If he is merely an old
friend and regards you more as
a daughter, I see no harm In
keeping the thimble; otherwise,'l
would return It.
When One Is Married.
Dear Miss (irey: I have
rend some of your advice to
> iniiiii married couples and
think iim> in- you can give
me sunn- <m my subject.
lam 20 and have been
married one year. As other
girls, 1 like to have a nice
time .'mil enjoy myself. My
huslmnd seems to think I
should slhv at home and not
go out and have a good
lime. He does not rare for
dancing or anything of that
sort. When I want to go to
a dnnce, he will never go.
I have my own home and
it is all furnished very nice.
I have no children and I
think I should have a nice
time before I have to be tied
down. My sister and other
friends ask me to go differ
• ■hi places with them, but my
husband does not care to «<>.
We never fight or have a
cross word one way or the
other. The only trouble is
he will never go any place.
He likes to stay home and
read. He is S3 years old.
ricii.se give me some advice
and what to do to persuade
htm to go different places.
E. T. O.
A. —Could you not arrange to
have your recreation in the after
noons while your husband is at
work? He is probably too tired
to go around after he has worked
all day. You ought to be thank
ful that he enjoys his home
enough to want to stay in It and
I should think you would prefer
spending the evening with him in
your own home instead of the
theater or dance.
You surely knew he did not
care for dancing before you mar
ried him. therefore you cannot
expect him to like It now. If he
Is a sensible man he will not ob
ject to your attending ft dance
once in a while with your parents
or friends.
Just a last word —Your future
happiness depends so much on
the first few years. If you con
tinue to fuss at your husband to
go out evenings, he will get in"
that habit, and then, in turn, you
will have to spend your evenings
alone.

"Women generally have had to
wheedle all sorts of concessions
out of men all their lives, so it
is but natural that many of those
who are engaged in legislative
work should regard this as the
proper way to approach the law
maker. They are surprised to
find that the average aolon doesn't
take kindly to wheedling when It
conies to matters of public policy

The trip from New York to

and cost but a few dollars. Mrs.
Mitchell left New York in .June,
1012, and walked every foot of
the way alone. She is a student

intention of demonstrating certain
principles in which she has be

faces made rminK and pretty, blem

made spotless, white and catlny—
In less than two weeks, by a very
wimple and harmlCNß process that
acts almost like a miracle. This i.s
all there Is to It: Ordinary mer
collzcd wax, procurable nt any drur
store (one ounce will do). Is applied
nightly like cold cream, and washed
off mornings. This gradually peels
off tlie. lifeless particles of surface
skin, permitting the. underlying skin
to show Itself. The newer, fresher
skin, when wholly In evldeoca,
forms a complexion which for beau
ty and youthfulness Is Incompara
ble with one produced by other
means. A complexion so natural, so
free from artificiality, no one
guesses the seoret of Its «ci|ulre
ment. Youll not regret trying this
really marvelous treatment.
Equally wonderful Is the famous
