How Can a Girl Tell When She's Really in

..L0ve?—Do Boys Respect Girls Who Pet’! Girl of 18 too léorlgg for Widower . o

.DeermssDlx-Iam ‘tobe “edtoaflneyoungmen. I em very fond of him and we ere congenial in our tastes. but I don't thrill at hi: approach as girls do in novels, and I don't feel that I would want to die if I never saw him age-in. So I don't know whether I am in love with him or merely like hlm. How can I tell my feelings for him? ALICIA.

Answer:

The first test to apply to yourself is how much of the man's company you can stand without yawning.

Apcethaslaidflflnleeeyoncerrmuseina crowd all day on an absent face that has fixed you. never say you love." Rats! Anybody can muse on an absent face. It is the present face that is the trouble.

Unless you can spend, say, a long summer day in joyous conversation with a man and still pine for more of his society when it is over, instead or feeling that you are a candidate for a rest cure, then you may be very sure that you are not in love.

Iheaecondtesthrtccallahaltonthelove-makingandsecifyou will like the man as well when he is discussing a political situation or a financial outlook as you do when he is telling you that you are the most beautiful creature on earth with the most fascinating ways, and that he fell in love with you at first eight.

All o! m, little sister, warm up to a man while he is flattering us as r kitten sllllggles up to a hot brick. Unfortunately, however, the language of matrimony is not couched in complimentary terms and the question ls whether a man has a charm for you that will make you hang upon his utterances no matter what he says or whether you merely enjoy him be- vause he jellies you.

A third test of love Ls to be found in whether a man, alone, is suf- ficient to you, or whether he has to be perpetually offering a chrome with himself to get you to take him. If you prefer spending the evening with nim, quietly conversing. you may be very sure that you are hard hit for keeps. Pgt if you like him best when he is taking you to the theatre or our. for supper or doing something else for your amusement, you are not genuinely in love. You care more for the good times he gives you than you do for the man. .

Finally‘, little sister, remember that the supreme test of all love is Iocrlflcc. Consider well how you paint the future to yourself. If, when you think of marrying a man your mind dwells only on what he could do for you and what he can give you and how happy and comfortable he can lnakc you. you do not love him. Brut. on the other hand, if you think of what you can do for him, what you can save him, of how you can help him, then that is LOVE. , ,

The real test of love is not whether you would like to wear a nude tiara and ride in his automobiles, but whether a gas range and a two- by-ibur flat looks good to you if only some pariicular HE is si‘ilng across a little table-spread for two.

Mim-

If you love a. man better than you do ease, luxury and pretty clothes and gay times, then you have got the kind of love that is e chronic com- plaint that lasts from the altar to the grave. Otherwise you have only e. llight attack of chills and fever that will soon pass and leave you none the worse for it. DOROTHY DIX.

A Dear luiss Dim-We are six young girls nearly 18 years old and we beg‘ you to answer than qreetions for us: . First. Are we old enough to know what real love is! r Second Will a boy kiss a girl whether he loves her or not? Third. Does a boy respect a girl who lets him kiss her? Fourth. If you love a. boy, should you let him know it? fifth. How can a girl win the aflection of the boy she levee? Sixth. Do you think petting parties harmful? Seventh. 1f boys do not respect girls who indulge in petting parties, wiry do they go with them? SALMOTH.

Answer: ‘ Whnt a lot of questions!

the Prophets of a girl's sentimental life and it would take a Sol

answer them. But here go my guesses at your riddles, girls:

They comprise the whole of the Law and to

First. m. gm of r1 cr ra knows what real love it. She u u» im- mature, her tastes are too unformed. She doesn't know what she wants in a man. she hasn't the faintest idea of what kind of woman she is going tn develop into herself. The things she is crazy about today she is tired of tomorrow. What she mistakes for an eternal passion is just a passing fancy. She plays with love as a girl does with a doll, but it is no more real than a wax doll is a living baby.

Second. Of course s. boy will kiss a girl if she will let him. Kissing is no indication whatever of affection on a man's part. It's a pastime.

‘Third. N0 boy respects a. girl who lets him kiss her, unless he is en- gtlgml to her. He thinks she is an easy mark.

Fourth. Never let a boy know that you love him until he ash you to marry him. Keep him guessing. 'I‘hat way you pique his interest rmd snvc your own face if he never comes across with a marriage pro- position. .

Firth. There is no known recipe for winning the affection of a man. It l: .1 mullet of luck, of propinqtrity, of congeniality. Sometimes a man can be chased down and caught. Sometimes he can be tolled into the matrimonial fold by good food. Sometimes he can be floated into mar- ringc on fears. Sometimes he falls for being flouted and sometimes for being flattered. and cajoled, but there is no guaranteed method that al- ways vnrks for winning a man.

Sixth. Potting parties are playing with dynamite. Don't do it. seventh. There are two kinds of women in the world for men — ‘hi! Once they go on wild parties with and the ones they marry.

Fashions in new fall coiffures are decidedly individual. They are higher and shorter and closely molded to the head. Bobbed hair will be extremely short-three or four inches in front, two on the sides and even shorter in the back. Bangs are not the old-fashioned curtain hanging kind. They are soft and light, with new forehead spac- ings. One particularly lovely Dumas coiffure for the bobbed head is ar- ranged with soft wide waves, pert little curls around the face and a

Autumn, or if preferred left until Spring. In the latter category, comes tree planting and the setting out of roses, and other shrubs. In very mild sections of the country such as the British Columbia coast, certain seeds, where a. very early start is wanted, may be sown before the Winter sets in. Early Fall is iust as good a time as spring m which to sow grass seed and move most of the perennial flowers and has the added advantage of giving these things a much earlier start than would be the case where moving or sowing was put off until six or seven months hence.‘
