Dear Miss Allen: My trouble Is about love, too. I am In love with a man and Just recently we became engaged. A girl he used to go with Is going to be married soon and he wants me to go to the wedding with him. I don't want him to go Why shouldn’t he forget her, now' that he is engaged to marry me? RUTH. Oh dear, oh dear. Here you are. one of those girls who thinks she owns a man Just because she is en gaged to him. People jnay love each other and still owe common courtesy and con sideration to other people. This man has known the girl who Is about to be married for some time. They were good friends. He cer tainly ought to attend her wedding, and I can see no objection to your going with him If you are Invited. Perhaps you think he wants to show you off and make the other girl see that he isn't caring about her marriage to some One else. Well, let’s hope his reason Isn’t so silly and shal low as that. Try to credit him with a better reason. At least encourage him to attend the marriage of this for mer friend. Difference in Age Not Serious. Dear Miss Allen: Do you believe in a girl marrying a man when she is three years older than he Is? I think I am In love, but the boy is that much younger and I don't know what to do do. \X. O. B. A few years difference one way or the other Is not of consequence. It's Just a notion we have that a girl should be younger. The notion is all right in the majority of cases, but need not be held to strictly, without reason. Congeniality of tastes Is a more important factor in marriage than a few years difference in age. A long span of years in difference of age is a more serious matter. Hard and fast rules cannot be made for love and marriage. Are you will ing to sacrifice, do you respect each other, have you a mutual understand ing and a congeniality toward each other? Handkerchief Bouquets. Handkerchiefs for gifts come as formal bouquets with the paper con tainer giving the formal note. The handkerchiefs come in different col ors. There are six to a dozen to a bouquet.

I thanked my particular little joss that Mamie’s slowness of thought had kppt the knowledge of my possession of the small revolver from the men on the truck until I had gained the precarious shelter the body of my small car afforded. 1 crouched lower behind It, leveled the small silencer revolver directly at the foremost man and said dis tinctly: Don't make any mistake, either. I'm "Yes, and I have you covered, not afraid to use it.” I would not have recognized my own voice, so raucous it was, and with some del ached part of my hrain T wondered from whence I obtained the nerve to speak at all. It appear ed to be the most foolhardy thing In the world thus to defy men whom I could hope to hold off but a few min utes at the longest, but there seemed to be a psychic little voice somewhere within my consciousness Insistently sounding the message: V "Keep them guessing as long vs you can! Don't give up!” Th?re was a loud laugh from one of the men at my challenge, but I noticed hopefully that it was not shared by the others, nor did it have the insouciant note which the, other guffaw held. It was quickly silenced by the smallest of the men, evidently the leader, who said venomously: "Shut up, you fool, or I’ll give you the chance of going over and taking that rattle away from that baby.” There was no answer to this pro position, and with a little thrill of triumph. I realized that even though I was a woman, no one of them was anxious to take a chance at the re volver In my hand. The bubble of my vanity, thus Inflated, was quick ly punctured, however, when the lead er went on In a tone evidently not meant for me, but which was caught by my ears, sharpened preternatural ly by danger. "She's a blasted sight more dan gerous than if she could shoot straight, you never know where a woman’s going to aim, she never knows herself, and then when she gets through aiming she shoots in the opposite direction. We’ve got to rush her someway.” "There'll be three of you gone be fore you ‘rush' me,” I called defi antly, and had the small satisfac tion of seeing them start apart In amazement that I had overheard them. Their silence was followed by a torrent of profanity and gutter In vective so coarse and menacing that I felt myself elcken with rage and humiliation at being obliged to listen to It. A minute later I was to realize that the language, together with their motions of anger, had been deliberately staged, for on# of the men disappeared from the group without my knowing It—he must have dropped to the ground and crawled beneath the machine—and even as I strained my eyes count ing the men before me, wondering whether or not I had deceived my self as to their number, my feet were seized by someone beneath the car and Jerked violently forward. Thrown off my balance, I frantic ajly clutched at the car, and though I could not avert a had fall. I think 1 was saved an ugly fracture of tb t skull by my clutch of the car the fact that I previously had d,awn the machine to one side of the rosd. If I had fallen on the concrete In stead of the earth, I am afraid I might have never known what had happened to me. As It nat. I was badly bruised, and for a few seconds I thought I almost lost consciousness, although I was aware of a cruel grip on my arms, and a voice saying: "Handle that gat carefully, Bill! It's a queer kind." j I tried to struggle to my feet, and at my movement, the men holding . my arms jerked me roughly to an upright position. "Want a little action, do you7" one of them sneered brutally. "Can the comedy, Ed!" another voice struck In, and I shivered In- 1 voluntarily at the sound of it, for ll* held an ley note of finality more terrifying than the roughness of the other men. "We "haven't any time for fooling," the voice went on, "We've got to make up our minds what to do with this dame. She knows altogether too much." 'Bump her off. that's the easiest and quickest way out," one of the men suggested in an off-hand way that betrayed how little human l:fo meant to him. ' "Of course," the other man sneered. "Did you think T meant to take her : to the movies? But we've got to go somewhere else than here with her. Gag her quick and throw her In the truck before somebody comes along.' i —-—- - Exquisite Frocks For Summer Wear I I At Prices Extremely R| Moderate n Dainty, new, and decidedly different sum- H mer frocks, flaunting all the heauty and exotic jft coloring of the season are here in charming II styles.
