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 - I Peter's Adventures 1 By LEONA DALRYMPLE Author of the new novel, "Diane of the Green Van," awarded a prize of $10,000 by Ida M.

Now, although I've frequently re I flected that marriage to me has been an immense disillusionment, and that out side of a certain pride and tranquil af fection I do not love Mary as a man should love the one woman in the world. It's odd how I miss her. To be sure I've gotten my own breakfast evr since I was married, so it makes very little difference to get it now. but I don't like eating at a little restaurant in town at night and then tramping home to a lonely house and a lonely smoke. Dad-and mother are off on their usual trip. Otherwise. I bhould have packed up my duds and gone home for the weeks Mary is enjoying herself at the lake.

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.

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. (Copyright. 1914.

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.

ENDICOTT Is discouraged. More than that. Judge Endlcott Is worried wor ried almost to death. He doesn't m what the world is coming to, or who Is going to grab It by the scruff of the neck and pull It back into us proper place In the universe. All on account of women. "This decade will be known as me decade of woman's folly," says Judge 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 pace with the men. "Ml over the world men are giving up the habit of drinking. A man can't drink too much and hold his job Women are beginning t. drink. "Men are giving up smoking. They're had to. No corporation win empiujr i man lri any position of trust who smokes cigarettes. And now the women are learning to smoke. "Women spend most of their time in the arms of chauf feurs cabmen, hucksters, and others who pose as In truders In the new dances The husbands of these 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 ern fashion of woman's dress. "Men are advancing in morals women are joing back" There now will you be good? 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 ter They have to be or the women won't marry them. 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 drinks with you but you'll have to holri your Job alone. And as to the women and their weird performances how long did ye think, oh, master of could set a bad example and not have the weaker sex follow it? How did you think that you could do one thing, and say another, and nover have the women of your family notice It? You have preached for generations about the virtue of modesty, humility, temperance, and obedience and prac ticed tho very opposite of all these excellent qualities.

"The trouble with most of the peo ple of my own and of the white race,' Mrs. Baldwin said yesterday when in terviewed at the Department of the In terior, where she holds a responsible position, "lies In the fact that they do not apply themselves. First one and then another thing is tried, but. through ladk of application and the tendency to keep too many 'Irons In the fire. nothing productive of any material good Is accomplished. The career 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 ing in the end. When she finally comes to marriage, she is scarcely further ad vanced than If she had done nothing at ait "Probably, without any exceptlpn, the most broadening study Is that of law. Women have so little idea of business as a rule, and are therefore such strangers in the world of their hus bands' affairs, that It is little wonder 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. Difficulty With Languages. "As to the effort which Is required to master other studies: Only the most .rigid concentration and denial should be expetted, and should be given with out question.

"To foreign languages by the way of English is a fax different matter than by way of an Indian tongue. Thero Is everything to learn and unlearn per haps the enormity of the task Is the real reason why so few of ua Indians arc linguists. Yet I have mastered French and Gerrnan, besides English. Both of these foreign languages are taught in the public schools of the United States, yet I do not feel that I overshoot the mark when I say that less than 1 per cent of the great ma jority who study French of German in the high schools ever make any use of it In after years or carry on their Studies after they "have graduated. They take the opportunity yes, and get a smattering but do they stick to It? Very rarely." I naturally Inquired whether or not she was a suffragist, and her reply was rather In the nature of a surprise. She laughed. "Did you ever know that the Indian women were among the first suffragists, and that they exercised tho right of recall? The trouble in this Indian ques tion which I meet again and again is that it is not the Indian who needs to be educated so constantly up to the whlto man, but that the white man needs to be educated to the Indian. Many, indeed, are the things which the paleface does not know about his red brother. Without reference or question, the attitude of tho earlier settlers has been handed down from generation to generation, as matter of cour.se, and the mistakes that they made are still dis cernible in the efforts of their de scendants.

A little girl sat In the school room tho other day trying very hard to study. There was a substitute teach er and all the children were having fun with her. They made faces and they mewed like kittens behind their books and they threw spltballs and did every thing they could lo make the poor substitute miserable. The good llttlo girl was shocked. She really liked the teacher, and, besides, she had prom ised her mother to get a certain grade In that particular lesson she was try ing to study So she studied and studied and the teacher was very glad, for she loved the llttlo girl and she was a friend of the llttlo girl's mother. the good llttlo girl threw down her dook, maoe a niaeous race, ana stariea to do a surrep- the edge of her foolish little skirt- .... coat.

When the little girl's mother asked the good llttlo girl about It. the good little girl looked very pitiful. "Mother," she said, "I like to be good In school, I really, truly do but, oh, I do hate to bo lonesome." Gentlemen of tho Jury consider the evidence in the case, and consider It carefully. Haven't you been letting the good little girl be pretty lonesome, all those years, and don't you think that has something to do with her sudden desperate attempt to act aa much like the bad little girls as she can. In the hope of pleasing you. so she won't be lonesome any longer? I knew a woman once who had a beautiful home. In a quiet, modest sort of way, hut her husband never would stay In It. So one night when he camo home to dinner he found tho living room strangely altered. 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 jvas a strange smell of stale beer all over the place. "I found out how It look down at "Tom's Place,' " said the woman i know, "and I thought I'd fix up the house the samo way to please you." And then, when the man was not pleased, the wffaian cried. Women are such dear, sweet, simple little things, you sec. They belieo what you do and not what you say. I don't believe there's anything particularly bad about the modern woman. Judge Endlcott.

The popular idea of the Indian woman is that she was a beast of burden, with nothing but work ahead of and behind her. That she ever had a hand in the government is almost unknown. But she did, and it was a strong one. It. is true that she did most of the work, but merely because It hap pened to be a more natural arrangement of affairs. The brave was constantly prepared for a war. and If you have any idea that It Is an easy thing to go out and get three meals a day from the uncultivated fields and thin air just try it yourself.
