Advice to Young Girls
Many Friends
Instead of
By ANNIE
Dear Annie Laurie:
I note your advice to some young
girls is: "Don't tie one's self down
to one friend, but. instead, have a
number of admirers."
Do you think that a young girl
about nineteen -would soon get tho
name of being a flirt if she were
peen out with a different fellow
every time? Not only that, but I
know some girls who seem to have
taken your advice in this matter,
until at the present time they have
half-dozen young men taking them
to the theater and other places.
This seems to me to be tho final
outcome of your advice regarding
"more than one friend." G. C.
NO. I do not think that a young
girl about nineteen would soon
get the name of being a flirt
If she were seen out with a dif
ferent fellow every time.
A young girl of nineteen has no busi
ness being seriously in love with any
one she's too young to "settle down"
and "make up her mind." And how is
she ever going to make it up. pray
telL if she' never meets more than one
man.
And tell me true and tell me honest,
G. C, don't you think that a girl can
have a good time with a man and give
him a good time, too, without being in
the least In love with him? Isn't there
any such thing as companionship or
friendship In your scheme of life?
Why, I have a dozen friends men
who would go half across the continent
to do me a serious favor, and I would
make great sacrifices to be of real
help to any one of them and not one of
them ever thought of such a thing as
being In love with me for a minute,
"Can't a man enjoy taking a pretty
girl to the theater without having her
expect him to be madly In love with
her? "Why shouldn't a girl have some
half dozen young men take her to the
-theater if the young men want to ask
her and why shouldn't a man invite
any girl he likes to go to the theater
with him, or anywhere else that is re
spectable and interesting?
Get the engagement and marriage fad
out of your head. G. C, and get It out
quickly. It doesn't belong In a good,
sensibleihead like yours atalL
When the right man finds the right
girl there won't be any trouble about
the other men and the other girls. Un
til that time it is not only perfectly
right, but perfectly sensible, for a girl
to have as many friends aa she likes,
so long as they are decent, self-respecting
chaps, who respect her and who are
nothing but friends.
Brownie The worst way in the world
to "hurt a man's feelings" is to marry
him without caring for him. From your
letter I don't think you are In love
with any one. except perhaps yourself.
If I were you I would certainly break
tnv engagement, but I should not en
er Into another one unless I were pret
ty sure of myself.
Anxious If you enjoy having tho
young man in question come to see you,
why certainly let him continue to come.
But you have no possible right to
monopolize his attentions, and if he
wants to go to see other girls, you
may rest assured he will go, and noth
ing you can do will prevent him.
Doubtful It is distinctly improper to
dance with a man who has not been
introduced to you. The only permis
sible exception is when, at some pri
vate house, the hostess arranges a
"Paul Jones" or circular dance, for the
purpose of making those guests ac
quainted whose Introduction might have
been overlooked. In that case it is per
missible to dance with whomever you
chance to be when the signal Is given.
The fact of being both under the host
ess" roof is taken to be sufficient in
troduction. Unsophisticated It seems to me
that your mother Is mistaken in tak
ing such a puritanical stand, in
wanting to deprive you of Innocent
pleasures, particularly as you are
fiot a very young girl, but a woman
at some experience; but, on the
other hand, so long as your mother
supports you and your child you owe -

your power to comply with her
wishes. Try to talk things over with
her, and persuade her that there is
no harm in what you want to do.
Perhaps you can gain her consent.
If not. I think it is up to you to do
as she asks you.
Etiquette It Is quite correct for a
young lady and a young man to shake
hands when they are introduced.
The lady should, however, be the
first to offer her hand.
Perplexed Friendship with a man
of the type of your one-time friend
Is too difficult to be very satisfac
tory. I think you are well rid of
him. and I should devote my time to
cultivating other friendships. Let
him go without too much thought.
Anxious Write to your friend, or.
If you know tho address, to some
member of his family and inquire
his condition. Under the circum
stances that Is the only courteous
thing to do.
Miss propriety There is no Impro
priety In a young man any young
man with whom you are friendly
stopping at your house when you
live with your mother and broth
ers. Of course. It is apt to give
rise to the rumor that you are en
gaged to him, and if you wish to
avoid that it might be as well for
him to stay elsewhere. In the case
of an announced engagement, even
that objection is removed.
Jessamine A woman of thirty
comes pretty close to being as old
as a man of thirty-five, and he is
much more suitable In age for her
than a youngster of twenty-one. In
your case I should say that If you
can care for the older man, marry
him. It not let him go. but don't
interest yourself too much in a boy
bo much younger, particularly as he
Is evidently not in love with you.
However, it seems to me that if you
can't manage your own affairs at
thirty, it Is time you learned.
Disappointed Tou might call your
friend up and ask him to come to
your house on some certain occasion.
There would be no impropriety iu it,
but rest assured that if he wants to
come very badly he will find the
occasion and that shortly.
Sorrowful Silly children, to quarrel
over nothing. If you really are fond
of the boy, do what you can to
patch up your quarrel, but consid
ering tho fact that you would not be
able to marry for some time, I'd not
try getting engaged at least, until
you care too much for each other to
indulge in such petty disputes.
A "Waiting What do you expect
me to advise? That you knock a
yonng man down and demand his
entire attention, or that you throw
him over because he sometimes
wants a little variety and goes to
see another girl? Don't be silly, a
man is entitled to as many girl
friends as he can make, until he de
cides on the girl he wants to marry.
When that happens, she won't have
to worry about the other girls.
Distressed Ycu will have to ac
cept the girl's decision in the mat
ter. Perhaps the man to whom she
is engaged does not care to have
her going about with another man.
and his opinion naturally means
much to her. Why don't you find a
nice girl to play round nlth, who is
not engaged? I really have no idea
as to what a young man should
spend for pleasure It depends so
much on his obligations.

Indian Women the First Suffragists
And Used Recall Chippewa Avers
Notable Accomplishment of Mrs.
M. L. Baldwin, in Completing
Law Course, Is Lesson to
Women.
"Average Woman a Fritterer,"
She Declares "Scalping
Taught Indian by Paleface in
Early Colonial Days."
By BETH JEFFRIES,
In the June graduating class of
the Washington College of Law
there was a woman fifty years old,
Mrs. Marie L. Baldwin. This means
that she started the course in her
late forties, at a time when most
men say that they are too old to
learn.
But that is not all.
She is a Chippewa Indian, and
was born a papoose, and as she
terms it, "cradled on a board."
That her accomplishment is un
usual, and that her views on life
and the part that women are to
play in this day and age are of
great value to other women of her
own and of the white race follows
as a matter of course.
Her message is salient, and she
touches a vital spot when she says:
"The difficulty in this country
is not lack of opportunity, nor an
ability of women and young peo
ple to take advantage of it, but it
lies deeper than that. They take
advantge of their opportunity, but
they do not stick to it. So many
are the wdnderful chances offered
today, that it has become the
habit of many to go from one to
another but success only comes
through sticking bravely to one."
Value of the Law.
The most enlightening and helpful
study for any woman to take up Is that
of law. Every woman should be a
graduate In that line, for it reveals to
her the workings of a business and
thinking world of which she can other
wise have but little comprehension. It
helps her in her dally tasks, makes
her more broadmlnded. and gives her

account of women.
"This decade will be known as me

Endicott "Men are steadily going up
In the moral plane, graft and the
evils of ten years ago are dlsappear-
lnK DUt the women are not keeping

"Ml over the world men are giving

"Men are giving up smoking. They're
had to. No corporation win empiujr i

now the women are learning to smoke.
"Women spend most of their time in the arms of chauf

women are down town working to buy new clothes for
their wives, and the clothes that the women buy are so
Indecent that it has been found necessary for many of
the churches to make a public protest against the mod

"Men are advancing in morals women are joing

And the worst of it is it's true. So true that nobody
who thinks at all can even attempt to deny It.
Men are better than they used to be a whole lot Let

Men Are to Blame?
Fifty years ago six men out of ten drank a little too
much once In a while. Now. if six men out of ten did
that, they'd lose their Jobs both down town and at home.
Employers will not hire a man who drinks and a woman
will not live with a drunken hUBband.
There's no great moral reform behind all this, it's
simply a matter of expediency. Drink and the world

"The trouble with most of the peo

Mrs. Baldwin said yesterday when in

position, "lies In the fact that they do

should be chosen wltii care, then all of
the energies directed with zeal to tho
realization of that one specific purpose."
"The average woman of today Is a
fritterer. She wastes her time and her
energies by studying a little of this
and a little of that, as the different
opportunities arise, but .she gains noth

to marriage, she is scarcely further ad

"Probably, without any exceptlpn, the
most broadening study Is that of law.
Women have so little idea of business

strangers in the world of their hus

that there Is as much divorce as thero
Is today. To understand more, to bo
less of a drag, and to participate in the
actual life about them, women should
study law. It is a constant help in
the administration of household affairs,
teaches concentration and organization,
and gives the woman the chance to
take full advantage of that for which
she may be best fitted.

Both of these foreign languages are

I naturally Inquired whether or not

I knew a woman once who had a beautiful home. In
a quiet, modest sort of way, hut her husband never

There were no rugs and there wore no books and
there were no flowers there was sawdust on the floor,
there were empty bottles on the. center table, and thero

Indian woman is that she was a beast

with the stricken one to a bath, let the
bath and the ice be brought to him.
The injured anatomy Is by no means
benefited by Jostling, swinging and mus
cular movement.
If. after a solemn rest In the stricken
spot, there remain more or less dizzi
ness, headaches and embarrassment of
memory-tf, also, there Is no evidence
of apoplexy or internal hemorrhages
then the patient roust be taken either
to his home or a hospital, where ho may
be nursed back to health and strength.
As an antidote to sunstroke, refrig
eration comes at once to mind. The
stroke of Old Sol that Imprison all toe
fluids, perspiration and other materials
of youf body which are better outside
than inside, must be met by some medic
ament that will promote the exodus of
the walled-up poisons. ,.,,..,
To bring about this happy termination
of a-sunstroke, iced drinks-Just as i a
glass of ice water is given In the sweat
room of the Turkish bath-Ice pocks. Ice
caps and cold alcohol rubs are needed.
The mistaken practice of administer
ing strychnine, alcoholic drinks and
stimulants does almost as much harm
as th sunstroke Itself. They overwork
tb alieady overburdened heart.
To restore the moisture and Juices lost
to the surfererjfefpre the assault, as
well as to augment the outflow, the
Injection of salt water-a heaping tea
spoonful of salt to a quart of boiled
water, with a pinch of sugar In It Is
most helpful.
The effect of this solution given only
by a nurse or a doctor Is remarkably
successful. The use of it. or some simi
lar solution, does away with the em
ployment of such heart defenders as
digitalis.
Tho headache, the nervousness, the
rentlesneaa. the Insomnia, all of which
follow sunstrokes, are relieved by soda
water, crushed Jce. the icea nneet ar
night, and lots of drinking- water.
