Bright Eyes: The tiling for you to
do is to get out of the picture. A
girl should never Interfere In the love
affairs of a friend. It is an unnatural
thing to do. In a show down, a girl
usually stands hy her lover anyway,
so a girl is only making trouble for
herself when she tries to interfere,
even when her motives are good.
Hazel H.: I do not conduct any
agency through which It Is possible
for young men and young women to
meet and therefore do not expert to
give out your address to young men
correspondents. Also it would he
contrary to the policy of this column
to furnish you with the addresses of
the young men who write to me.
Broken Hearted: If you are so
much In love with the girl and be
lieve she cares for you, wh? not re
sume your friendship? 1 fear, how
pver, a girl who Is so changeable and
erratic In her friendships will not give
you much real companionship.
Perplexes): Yes, send your wedding
gift to tlie bride’s home. Wear your
prettiest party dress to the wedding.
A young man making a call ought to
cave hy 30:30 or 11 o’clock.
Dolly: Don’t give him a costly gift
-not unless you’re engaged. If lie is
your fiance, send to him what your
pocket hook, good tasle, head and heart
approve.
But If he’s just a good friend send
him a simple. Impersonal expression
jt friendliness—Ills favorite new vol
ume, his favorite cigars—or just' a
hard.
To send an expensive, elaborate
present would put under obligations
to you a man who has not signified
lie cares to be under obligations to
you—Who hasn't proved that he cares
to win your love.
When it comes to spending money,
let’s spend it on those who need it
meet this Christmas. Let's send food
and clothing and good cheer to the
little children of the poor.
But you'll find that If you're Im
bued with the real Christmas spirit,
your simple greeting or friendly card
will carry Its happy message to the
young man you like so weJI.

What Alfred Forgot to Tell Made*
and •lunior.
Shaking with laughter, llttlq Mrs,
Durkee stooped and laid her babv
granddaughter In Junior's arms.
"The size of him!” she murmured
in my ear as she straightened her
self ftgain while Alfred unobtrusive
ly coiled himself In front of my small
sen that there might be no possible
danger of a tumble for the precious
bundle the boy was holding.
The apprehensive father mlghl
have saved himself the trouble, how
ever. With a little rush of maternal
pride, I saw that Junior, but little
past his own babyhood,' yet so fun
nily precocious that one Is apt tc
forget how few years are his, held
the tiny new baby In a firtp protect
ing clasp that nothing save force
could loosen.
I think* we all realized that at the
same moment and transferred our
attention to the ludlclous appraising
look llie small boy was bestowing
upon tlie bundle in Ids arms, which
he just had heralded as the "girl,"
about whom Katie was forever teas
ing him.
“Do you hear me?” he shouted,
putting tits fare down close to that
of the baby, evidently under tlie Im
pression t hat the wonderful new
comer was deaf. "You're my^ girl.
Katie!" imperatively. "Please cotie
here, is this the one you said?"
Katie.•scarlet faced and half hys

Junior, extended her arms hungrily
so that they enfolded both my little
lad and his burden.
“You bet your boots, Junior." she
said with fervor. "You no find bet
ter vun dan dees vun eef you
tousand miles.”
lie pondered the assurance for a
few- seconds, thpn nodded his head
gravely.
"All right," lie said sattsfiedly.
"I ll lake her home. Ma ma, please
start the car."
"Oh. young T.oehlnvar Is come out
of the west!” Alfred murmured and
then added in even a low-er tone:
"Mrs. Madge, this Is decidedly Vour
cross word puzzle. I’m out of It."
"Coward—coward!" I chanted. "If
this is going to be your attitude to
ward your daughter's suitors—”
"I II Take Her Homs.

every pair of eyes in the room was
turned upon the screwed-up baby
fate and upon the ludlctously start
led countenance of the little lad who
held her. With a swift practiced
movement, -little Mrs. Durkee dove
past the barrier of K*tte's out
stretched arms and snatched up her
first grandchild.
I'.css her baby heart!” she
crooned, cuddling the tiny creature
close against her shoulder. "Was
her all frightened all by her loney
wifout her old grandmother?"
Junior struggled to his feet, his
face bewildered and angry.
"What's the matter with her?" he
demanded.
"Temperament, deah boy," the
young lady's father informed turn,
smiling. "Youll learn more about
it later on. She probably objected
to your cave man tactics. They're a
trifle out of date this year.”
"Stop teasing him. Alfred,” Mrs.
Durkee and I uttered the words to
gether, hut the command fell flat, for
my small son paid no attention what
ever to Mrs. Dnrkee's teasing.
Instead Junior contemplated the
screaming infant with hard (bright
eyed attention. He was all uncon
scious of the fact that we were
watching him, and after a tense sec
ond or two, turned away with a lofty
uir and laconic comment which con
vulsed us almost to tears.
"She needs a spanking,” he said.
"Take her away. 1 don't want her
that way. When she can be good, I'll
.take her home."
"Men have been done to death
for slighter cause than that, my lad,"
Alfred began when lie could control
his visibles, but I put up a warning
hand.
I had seen, what the others had
not. the quiver of m.v little lad's lips
as he marched toward the door, and
f realized that though lie did not
know the meaning of the words, his
sensitive little soul resented the guy
ing. friendly though it was.
So I was not surprised to see the
sturdy little figure first falter and
then turn and run to me. burying
his head in my lap with a loud wall.
For an astonished second no one
spoke. Then as the doorbell pealed,
Alfred Durkee crossed hurriedly lo
my side and picked up the sobbing
boy. holding him light In spite of his
struggles.
