These fruits do not have sufficient
pectin to make them jell alone. Too

"I know that. Julian, ana you re a

Dear Cynthia Will you be kind
enough to help melf possible? I am
a young man seventeon years of age,
nnd tho main trouble seems to be that
when I am Introduced to members of the
opposite sex I do not Beem to be able to
find what to talk about with them. Now

you be kind enough to suggest what
topics would bo Interesting to flic girls?
MOBY SEEKING I.VFORMATipN.
Talk of tennis, moving pictures, plays,
books and politics. kEven tho apparently
frivolous-minded girl Is Interested ln
politics these days.
Cannot Buy Property Till of Ago
Dear Cynthia I am in love with a
fellow, but his mother Is Jealous of me,
even though sho pretends to think the
world of me. She Is also going to bo
married again soon. But this follow li
going to buy a house, which will bo mine
somo day. Now he Is not twenty-ono
years old yet If he bought this house
would It "have to be ln hla mother's
nojne? We would like to avoid this,
nn, she Is marrying a wealthy man from
Now Yo'it.
Also could you tell me it black worn
at a wedding Is bad luck?
And what kind of veils are the best
for eienlnr? wear? p. D.
A man ls a minor under the law until
he Is twenty-one and cannot buy prop
erty In his own namo. It must be put
In the namo of a parent or guardian.
If. however, your flanco will bo of age
In a few months h could arrange to

How could harm or good como from
tho mere wearing of a color, dear?
Such things are pure superstition. Dut
even If In mourning, It Is always better
for n brldo to wear white. That's tho
bridal color
Velli are never worn In the evening.
A Suffrasa Poem
Rear Cynthia You havo helped me
before, so now I am coming to you
again. Can a tan-colored dress be dyed
a dark blue? Here Is a little poem on
woman suffrage I composed all by my
lonesome. How do you like It?
THE VICTORY OP 1930
I believe the world is turning upside.
down
Sh! You mustn't look around.
Miss Twenty-ono at last admits her age
To Join the woman's suffrage.
Was It a leap year proposal, after alL
When Dan Cupid made his very latest
call? .
Oh! boy! ain't It a grand, nnd glorious
feeling 5
To think at last wo'vo had a square
dealing
Oh ' men ' I hopo I may llvo to see the
day
When a woman shall bo President of
the V. 3. A.
Tho countrv now Is In a terrible state
of affairs. '
It needs her gentle hand to smooth its
cares
Now we must fight on and on,
Until another battle of- victory Is won;
For tho hnnd that recks the cradle
Is the hand to rulo toe world.
MISS TWENTY-ONE.
Tan will take a blue ; but better con
sult a reliable dyer.
Personally, while Cynthia approves of
otlng, sho really would not like to see
a woman as President.
Perhaps somo of the readers will en
Joy your poem.
They Telephoned Him
Dear Cynthia We are four glrla of
fifteen and Blxteen and nre very good
friends with tho boys of our acquaint
ance. Wo allow no sentimental talk or
actions, but are Just good friends with
them.
We do not allow them to call us up
on tho telephone unlesB It Is absolutely
Important; nnd we never call them up.
But one time we had something of Im
portance to say. to one of them and we
could not watt until we saw them to
tell them, apd to wrlto would be Just
as bad. so c decided that for onco
wc would call
Well, he didn't answer, but his slster-In-law
did. She told us that wo should
not call a boy on the phone at his homo,
and we asked her If it wns right for us
to call him up otherwlso than at his
home : that as wo saw no harm In speak
ing to him only once on the 'phone wJ
wero noi unimineu iu uuji tu ma nome.
Were Vo or was she right? Also let
us know If It Is proper for girls of our
ago to go out with boyH of seventeen If
wo are properly chaperoned.
CUP.LY AND BOBS.
Do not get a wrong Idea about right
nnd wrong.
Thore ls nothing wrong In calling a
boy on the telephone It Is tho running
after a boy, seeaing nun out, that ls
always n miBtnke and re, conventional;
but even that Is not wrong, It Is a
mistake to call them unnecessarily, but
In the case you spenk of there seems
to havo been no reaion why you should
not call. Boys and girls of Ufteen, six
teen and seventeen aro generally ery
congonlal friends.

h roadBter question from a slightly
different angle?
In a former letter I stated that I pre
ferred my car to a girl; nnd I do. It's
cheaper and really more fun. for all tho
girls I've known havo been rathor well,
flighty. I'm a bachelor of twenty-four
and contented to remain one. but am
willing to be shown that girls can be
a lot different than ever I found them.
However, my predicament Just now Is
this I am here alone nnd know no one,
nor do I meet any people outside of the
men I work with. They nre not as a
wholo a buncn of regular fellows, so
we never meet socially. I go out ln my
car nearly every nfght nnd enjoy It
Immensely, but I go alone In a seven
passenger car.
Now It soema to mo that there must
be a lot of people here who would like
to ride with me : but how Is one to find
out who they are or meet them? I could
just as well take a carload out an not;
but It seemB I am doomed to ride alone.
I can enjoy myself alone, but others
might enjoy going, and when one has
the room It seems a pity that some few
of them could not go, too.
There are others who travel the high
ways who are, I'm sure, willing to share
tholr cars and pleasures occasionally
with people cf the right sort. How about
It, you auto fans? GASOLINE GUS.
Just as you say, "Gasoline Qus," there
probably are many nice people who'd
llko to ride with you ; but how to find
them?
Have you Joined any men's clubs?
Surely since you've been In Philadelphia
you've met some "regular fellows" and
nice girls. Ask one or two to go with
you, and you'll soon be In the midst
of pleasant times.
Human Curios
The Solltnry of Bhnwmut
Shawmut being the Indian name for
ths locality now occupied by the older
portion of Boston, William Blackstone,
or Blaxton, tho first white man to set
tle there, was popularly known aa the
"Solitary of Shawrmut," on account of
tho hermlt-llko manner of his life.
Blackstono Is said to have been a
graduate of Cambridge who had taken
orders In tho Church of England, but,
outgrowing his early oonvlctlons, had
embarked with the Puritans In search
of that religious liberty which he ex
pected to find ln the now world a lib
erty which had been denied him In the
old. Soon after landing he became dis
gusted with the lack of liberality and
tho lntolsranco which marked the
"Lord's brethren," so, in 1628, he with
drew to ths wlldaj-riess and lived as a
nermit unui nis acaui in id id.
In tho Doem. "Boston Common '
Holmes makes an allusion to Blackstone
and to the popular tradition that ho
used to ride ubout tho country on n
cow Motley's story of "The Solitary of
Shawmut" may also bo found In
Drake's "Legends of New Englund."

Hospitality extends from threshold to
threshold, coming and going. If there Is
but ono group of guests, a group arriv
ing and departing together, tho host nnd
hostess go with them to the door, where
the final farewells are spoken, words of
appreciation from the visitors nnd of
cordial godspeed from tho entertainers.
Should other guests remain longer the
hostess does not leave them when any
group or Individual departs, but, In
stead, deputes a member of the famlly
or an Intlmato friend to accompany
them to tho street door, or. In an apart
ment house, to the elevator, or the head
of the staircase.

To th Editor ot Woman's Paoc:
Dear Madam I'd llko to reply to Mrs.

would caro to take him, as I'd like to

not care to give him away. I would llk'i
to find somo one with a lovo fcr dogs
who would take him for, majbe, ns long
as a cnr or who would care to bonra
him for that time. City boarding houses
nre no places for big dogs.
But I must have him back as soon ns

Do you think Mrs. F. would en re for

Mrs. F. wanted n dog to keep for her

The Smiling House
I know a little smiling house beside, the
broad highway;
It fairly twinkles In the sun, so bright
It lookB and gay.
Its shiny dormer windows gleam when
travelers go by,
Llko kindly eyes that would invite If
they were not too shy.
The queer old gables on Us roof all
havo n. friendly air,
As If they wished to speak to you and
bid you linger there.
And clustered round the bigger house
aro weo ones for the birds
Those little feathered tenants who con
verse In singing words.
A rosebush blushes in the yard beneath
young summer's kiss,
And shakes Its silver cap of dew llko
some coquettish mlel..
Sometimes I want to ralso tho latch
and creep In like a mouse,
And see what sort of folk they are who
flwoll In such a house
And yet If I should find that things are
not what JUBt they seem,
The little friendly smiling house might
vanish llko a. dream.
And bo I do not venture In, nor shall I
over pry,
But when It smiles and beckons me, I
nod and hurry by,

"Give Attention
I
F SOME friend, as a spcclnl favor to
Shnkesncarc. Iluxley, Tcnnjson, Scott,
Immortal!), and in addition offered to give jou a letter of Introduction which would
persuade them to grant YOU a few hours of their time nnd attention EVERY
DAY, you would, after hnvlng assured yourself that your kind donor was not of
the violent type, say to him soothingly :
-"Yes, yes. You arc the most marvelous magician of the ages. The rest
of the world nnd I nrc ns clny In your hnnds. You nre the emperor, too, and
anything nnd anybody else you sny you are or wont to b. And your retinue la
waiting without for me to call them."
Then, nt the earliest opportunity, you would mnkc a bee-line to some shel
tercd place nnd whisper to ourself :
"Poor fellow. It must have come over him suddenly !"
Yet your judgment of Insanity or dcmcntln praecox would be entirely unjusti
fied find erroneous.
For a letter of Introduction to the greatest philosophers nnd sages of the
nges consists of n library card !
The sole requisite is the nbility to rend. And the ability to read is OPEN
SESAME to the master minds nnd men of nil time.
Onco you have lenrned the twenty-six letters of tho alphabet, you can enjoy
all thnt the world of the written word hns to offer.
You enn revel In the Intcllectunl compnnlonshlp'of the Rible, of Shakespeare
and the other poets, of seers nnd prophets like Emerson, Cnrlyle and Ruskin.
You can imbibe nnd bask in the wisdom of Tolstoi, of Phillips Brooks, of
Ben Frnnklln, of Beccher, Huxley, Spencer and Darwin.
You can travel with Stanley "Through the Dark Continent," explore with
Nonsen "Farthest North," drink Inspiration from Samuel Smiles' "Self-Help,"
wander with John""Burroughs through the fascinating realms of "Mother
Nature."
Daniel Webster and John Qulncy Adams will, if you wish, once more
enchant you with their eloquence; Lincoln nnd Douglas will debate for you at
your leisure and pleasure; Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner arc at your
constant and instnnt beck nnd call.
You need but know how to rend nnd you possess the master key that unlocks
the doors of the treasure vaults of the nges. And Its most precious jewels are
yours for the nHking.
But rend not nlone to enjoy, but to profit nnd excel ns well.
It has been said that a person who will take up somo topic nnd study it in
detail will in n month be in advance of any but the specialist.
There Is enough truth in this generalization to keep most of us busy durinj
every single one of qur "spare" minutes.
Rend regularly. Read every day. Don't put off and expect to "make up."
You can make up for lost reading no more hnpplly thnn you can skip a meal and
then gorge.
Half nn hour or even less a day devoted to Judicious reading will ln a few
years often mnkc the difference between n contented, cultivated, spiritually and
frequently materially rich man or woman nnd one who is not.
