Please Tell Me
What to Do
By CYNTHIA
To "One Who Does Not Believe In
Love"
Dear Cynthia Haying read "One Who
Does Not Bcllevo in Love's" article In
your column, permit me to say tliat If
all girls would flatter themselves as
much as sho, thero suro would be many
more beautiful girls in tho world today.
Perhaps she Imagines they are In love
with her, and ns for alt nat'onalltles,
she must travel with qillto a few. Dear
little girl, do not believe what every fel
low tells you, as he sometimes tells tho
sanfo old story to every girl he meets. I
sure do hop that you will And some ono
to really lovo you after alt your expe
rience. ONE WHO KNOWS.
Was He Correct?
Dear CynthlaWhlle riding to work
tho other morning a young gentleman of
my acquaintance camo and sat beside
me and chatted with me until It was
tlmo to got off, at which time ho got up
walked off with another follow he knew,
nnd never gavo another glance toward
mo, though we wero both going to the
samo place. Was this correct?
UMUAlUtASSKD.
Aa you aro buslnesn men and women
together, he was not"str!ctly required to
walk with you, but ho should havo said
something at leaving, If only "Well,
I'll see you later," or "It was nlco to
meet you this morning."
Flnlsh Your School
Dear Cynthia I am n hoy seventeen
ycaia of ago nnd go to high r,chool Last
ye.ir I wan not promoted In school nnd
my parents lmvo kept boring at mo ever
slnco, no matter what I do, Now, I
havo two friends, Louis and Julius, who
enlisted In tho nrmy n few weeks ago,
and according to their letters, It's heaven
thero. Do you think tho army would
put a a failure Into tho position of being
useful to tho world?
What would you advise mo to do?
3. B.
Finish vnur course In high school nnd
work so hard you will plense your par
ents. Then join the army If you want to.
It Is a flna life and tho strict discipline
Is always cood.
I But do not cons'der yourself n failure
because you wero not promoted at
school. Only make up your mind to
work harder and try not to mind unkind
words.
What a Good Man Is
Dear Cynthia As a rule, I do not care
to answer letters Nvhlch appear In tho
papers, for somehow I neer felt that
--- - - .. ...v...w . a - .. ,
they wero really sincere, but I could not
resist the temptation to answer "Good
Man." He asks what one means when
they say a "good man." This Is
farther hard to nnsweV, for thero Is some
thing good in every one, snd all that is
needed Is some person to bring that
good out. Very often when this good
Is brought to the surfaco tho man or
woman Is filled with shame for the bad
they may havo done, nnd with a llttlo
help, a llfo that litis been careless or,
even In tho eyes of the world, bad,
turns out to be one worthy of much
praise.
My definition of a good man would be
ono who would mnko a suitable father
for my children, ono who would havo no
traits that I would nbt caro to eeo in
my ch'ldren. If men and women would
analyze ono another In this manner I
rather think thero would be more happi
ness In the world nnd les need of nsk
Ing foolish questions of tho publlo nt
large; and further. If men and women
knew this test was going to bo nnollcd
mnvbe their lives would bo different.
In closing, I would say men should
remember that It takes two to make a
happy home, that i't Is not a one-sided
affair and more Is needed thnn handing
lu so much money. It takes patience,
sacrifice, respect for one another
and great control over the tongue
when things go wrong to make for hap
piness, and if theso wero lived up to,
there would be less talk about bad men
nnd bad women and unhappy marriages,

GRANDMOTHER
LIKE A PLAIN SUPPER
. ''
She Were a Visiting Clergyman Invited )o iJine With '
Family-ct the Meal Doesn't Count So Much as
the Manner- of the Hostess
THE visiting clergyman was Invited
to supper last evening, nnd nftcr ho
left the family were tnlking it over.
"It was n very plain supper," said
mother frankly. "Almost too plain,
but then we were going to have Just
flint nttreAlt,nf "
"He says he gets sick of fancy des
serts," put In the youngest, as a curious
fact for them all to consider seriously.
"Well," went on mother, disregard
ing the youngest, "I think, if I were
In his place I'd prefer that; I'd want
to bo taken In just ns a member ot the
family, and not hare any fuss made dver
me."
"I wouldn't," interrupted' grand
mother, unexpectedly nnd placidly, "I'd
wnnt chicken and waffles, '
There was no criticism in her tone
of mother's plain supper.
That was perfectly right, she Implied,
if mother felt that way about it, but ns
for her, if she were n visiting clergy
man, she would prefer to have a fuss
made over hor.
And If you were n visiting clergy
man you could absolutely depend upon
hnving n fuss made over you, if you
were Invited to grandmother's house for
tea.
On the other hand, this particular
clergyman probably enjoyed mother's
plain, family supper, quite ns much ns
he would have enjoyed grandmother's
fussy "company meal."

BASEBALL RULES
"The rules of business," baitl a friend of mino who used to he a "bl
Icaguer" nnd who is now a "big league" businessman, "arc much the same is
the rules of baseball. Thnt may be ono reason why so many baseball stars make
good when they desert the ball field for the field of commerce. You don't see it?
Well, here nte .some things a 'busher' gets dinned into his ears from the minute
ho hops on to a hi? league diamond to the moment he steps into the shoes of
some big corporation president or begs Ids fare home. Judge for yourself. Thn
if ycu think enough of the rules, majbe you enn write something that will give
your friends the benefit of them. Here they are :
'"Keep jour eje on the bnll.
"Stay off the foul lines.
"Stick clo.se to your base.
"When you strike out, smile and try not to let it hnppen again,
"Keep holding 'em down. The game isn't won till their last man's out.
"Keep ut 'cm. The game isn't lost till OUR last man's out.
"Pep up.
"Study jour batter.
"If jou don't like the decision of the umpire, keep it to yourself. Dou't
rage, roar, stamp, throw jour bat uround or do anything else that may get jou
fined or fired.
"Think quick; swing quick; hit hard.
"Play safe never play to the grandstand.
"Dou't take u chance till you're dead sure of yourself. 'X!icnbc ready to
slide even if it means your shirt.
"Remember your signals and keep your mouth bhut.
"When you put 11 man out don't punch him in the ribs bo a gentleman.
"Kat hearty. Sleep heavy. Laugh hearty. Drink hearty water. Hare
frieuds you're glad to have your bister and mother meet.
"When you get 'mad,' Ubc your head. Never up your spikes.
"Yes. sir." concluded my friend, "those uro some of the rules n good bah
plajer holds to like a plumbllue ns long ns ho hnndles the 'pill' for a living.
And the fellow in business who follows, say half of them, is doing all he humnnly
can to become n .slur,"
