After a delay of a month or
more the piping for the water
pump finally arrived and the con
nections are to be made on Sun
day. The reason that this day is
i.tilized for doing the work tg be
cause it will be necessary to shut
off the water supply for half a
day. People in the habit of tak
ing their baths on Suh'lay morn
ing are advised to perform this
duty on Saturday evening lo
avoid being disappointed.

Dear Miss Grey: I am in need of advice, and hecause I
don't care to let an^pne know I am in trouble, 1 turn to you.
My parents are poor, and although my father works hard
at a good trade, he never seems to gain anything. He doesn't
drink and seldom indulges in small tltisgs.
Igo to high school. I want an education, but lam human.
I love a persou and I know he loves me. I feel I cannot live
without him and everything is black when I don't see him. Now,
Miss Grey, my dream of low is not a mere passing fancy; I love
him with all my heart, and life will he nothing without him;
yet, I feel it my duty to help my parents. In oilier words, give
up this dream and all that lite holds Hud go through school, ho
1 may teach.
Do you think that is right? Should I think first of my par
ents and then of myself, even though this ni.'ans "give him and
our love up"? Please advise me. 1 love a home and children,
UNDBCIDKD.
A.—l do not see that It Is necessary for you elllier to neigliyit
your parent* or give up your lover; that Is, provided that your dream
Is not a fancy. Why ciin't >ou finish your education, work a few
years, then marry, thus belli;; Hint iniicli better prepared lo lie a
mother lo your own children? In turn, il will a I font the man a
chance lo prepare a home and Increase the iie-*t ej>g.
I/et nic i ell you just I Ills much, mv dear giii, nothing ia ever
gained by allowing trouble to eat out one's heart. Why don't you
have a frank tiilk on this subject with jour piii-cni * and with tlK> niau
j'ou love.
Dear .Miss Grey: I have read your letters In the Tacoma
Times ever Bince -we started taking the paper, which lias been
quite a long time.
Now 1 am not going to ask you if my gentleman friend
loves mo or If I love him, for I know better.
In the Oct. 4 issue of the Tim<»s there was a letter
' printed that disgusted me so that I shall frankly say what
I think. If the mother of three girls would look back to
the time she was my age, and consider, she would not
speak so rashly of your advice to girls and boys with no
judgment and consideration of their own.
I am not an old maid, neither am I a man; I am only a girl
20 years old to the day.
To begin with, I have kept company with several young
men in the east two or throe years, and have met many different
types that I never went with. I despise men wlio are ever will
ing to plan midnight dinners, wine parties, auto joyrldes and
other bigli-llfed festivities for the entertainment, of some easily
led girl. There is a gain somewhere for some one. If a man
loves a girl he will not like to see lier in an evening gown, minus
the waist part, sipping wine with a bunch of noisy friends. These
doings, I never indulge in. I'm not a goodie-goodie girl, nor a
strict cliurch member, but, when such an opportunity comes up,
I consult my mother, and her advice I follow, for she is always
in the right in such matters. My mother trusts me, and there
is not one girl in the world who could boast of a better or truer
mother than I.
Mother was always strict in regard to gentlemen company.
She explained the tips and downs of life to me when 1 was 12
years old. But why In the face of it all if I loved a man should
I write to a perfect stranger for advice? And when I got It, why
should 1 run away from home? In that case I would not follow
your advice, Miss Gray, neither would 1 follow my mother's,
I suppose If I was cutting my nose off to spite my face, I would
follow the impulse of my heart. That is what my mother did,
and that is what the mother of three girls did. most likely.
I have never read in any of your letters, advice to any girl
or woman to either run away from home or to secure a divorce.
1 am very sorry for "One of the Left-Overs." He has the same
opinion of the girls that I have of the men.
I dare say I would like to congratulate the "Gentleman"
over the reply to the Flirt." His advice is correct, decidedly
so, and I hope other girls with flirtatious infection will read his
letter and profit by it. I know I did.
Please, Miss Grey, accept my congratulations on your
knowledge and judgment of human nature.
ONE EXTREMELY WISE.
Q.—Please help me. I have been going with a very nice
young fellow. He came over one Sunday and said he was work
ing out of town. He left my house early In the evening so aa to
catch his train. He took my address, said I would hear from
him In a few days, and that he would be out the next Sunday.
The next day I was down town and saw him. He was coming
towards me. I don't know if he saw me or not; but he crossed
the street. Now, Miss Grey, It has been over two weeks and ha
has neither been out or written. Please tell me what to do?
VIOLET.
A.—Forget him—at leaat, until he can offer a reasonable ex
planation for his conduct. From your letter I take it that you are
• (■■ii < young, linn't i>cgin to make excuses for tlie lioys because yon
tliink you love them or otherwise, don't incept n|K>logie« for avoid
able acts, and thus leave the way clear for them to break more prom
isee. Tims you will save yourself many a heartache and tear later «»n.
