I Do Proposals Change in Style? Girl in Dilemna—Doesn’t Know What Proposals Really Are —Only Read About Them—Many Kinds. v . i .... i --— By MARTHA ALLEN. Proposal* don't change In etyle but change with Individuals. A reader asks about the modern way of pro posals. Several men have thrown out hints about marriage but she is puz zled ns to their sincerity. No need to worry about what the man means when he talks of marriage even though he may Just hint at first. Give him time and he will talk so much that you’ll be doubly *ure. Of course, the unreserved frankness of young women towards men today Is a new part of the game of love but hardly in proposals. As a rule a man and woman declare their love for each other before any one else Is consulted. Each case is different. One man may be very ar dent in his love-making, another may be somewhat reticent in hi* declara tions. Still another may be Just plain t.ashfnl. This last sort of man is sometimes unknowingly urged by the girl to declare himself. No need to worry about proposals until they are within your grasp. If any woman is over anxious to accept the proposal it may frighten the harassed man away. There are many novel ways to help the man in his predicament or em barrassment, as the case may be. One woman I know took the man in Librarian to Address Dundee Club Eula W.

MEN WHO UNDERSTAND BOYS INFIUEHCE THEM Promote Father and Son Week, Not. 11-18, at Dreshera’ Plant. If men would not forget how to play, if they would not lose the boy spirit, their influence as fathers in Interesting growing boys in a career would carry more weight. The nation needs real fathers —men who understand boys— men big enough to interest them in professional training. That’s why leaders throughout the coun try are putting their energy In promoting Father and Son week, November 11-18.

Another woman bought a large umbrella and told the suitor in ques tion that It was a family umbrella, and so It goes. The great requisite is tact, to put it over with acumen. There seem to be Just as many ways of proposing as there are men. The only concern you should take' In the question is whether the man un der consideration Is the one you love more than all others and If he Is the one who will make you happy the rest of your life. Why not study your side In the bargain? That Is the only way to make a good one. Helen—Orris root brushed through the hair once In two weeks will help absorb the olllness.

Invitations are sent out for large and formal parties and these must be engraved not printed.

A cordial invitation is extended to parents and all inter ested parties to come and see Just the type of books that best suits young readers. Tho library maintains book service at five hospitals throughout the city. Three hundred and one books are divided among Lord Lister, the Pres byterian and Swedish Mission hos pitals, where supervising visits are made by the extension librarian, Miss Lila Bowen.

This Is a 95-bed hospital with an average of 63 patients a year. Books of biography and psychology have been taken from the main library. A librarian visits every room on two afternoons a week, selecting the sort of books most likely to at tract the patrons. She found six pa tients with radios in their rooms get ting returns during the world series games. Four afternoons a week are spent at St. Joseph hospital. Here are 370 beds and a present average of over 300 patients, with 10 internes and 90 nurses in training.
