She drew herself up haughtily. Some

And she fancied that In the gloom of.

simply stepped back, nnd Nancy, who

And there we have the reason for their
happlncs and their long llfi. They hnd
no bones of contention over which to
split hairs to their dying day, no wran
gling to embitter them nnd breed hatred
of each other, no nerve-wracking tugs-of-war
to wear them out and make them

It did not hurt them to "give In,"
they did not hnve to wring from each

a point hero nnd a compromise there.
Realizing thnt tho object of marriage
Is to make the other happy and to be
happy, and not just getting one's own

loose," deferring to each other, not for
the sake of peace, but for love of each
other. So they not only found "perfect

siderably lengthened their lives. And
their method is a well-tried one that

"Kenslnotonlan" Qlad He's
Appreciated
Dar Cynthia In Saturday's edition I
observed a letter signed "Betty" ap
plauding my recent attempt to define
'love." . .
I am glad to sea it has struck the spot
I Intended it for. Our young boys and
girls aro a little too much taken up by
the pleasures of this world of today J to
them every new faco brings forth a new
fancy, they think this-Is "love," but to
their sorrow they will find they ore mil
taken. Uut time may teach them all n
new lesson, and the popular good-night
kiss may fade from view.

A Bit Rouoh on "Mister 24"
Dear Cynthia I would like to say a
few words to Mr. Z4.
I wonder If ho is the Mr. 24 who
some time ago said ho loved a girl three
jears and didn't know how no stood
with her. This week he says he makes
,a hit with them ull.
' I often wonder If ho made It O. K.
with tho girl ho loved. If he Is the same
guy, no wonder she turned him down.
I think he Is a little rough mysejf
He better take Cynthia's advice, then
go and get his little girl he loved. Ho
will bo by far tho happiest j take It from
one who knows from experience.

Loyalty and Love
Dear Cynthia Pardon mo for Intrud
ing upon your tlmo, but certain condi
tions havo nrisen which necessitated
my responding to eome of tho comments
(In your valuable column) concerning
lots.
I have often thought over the mean
ing of lovo and this Is my Idea, I
think there nre two ways of spelling
love1 ono lovo the other loyalty.
Cynthia, do you think I havo the right
definition for love? If not, please give
me your sentiments MISS J. D.
Loyalty Is n qunllty of true love, but
one may be ery loyal to a person nnd
et not love that person.
Parents Won't Receive Friends
Dear Cjnthia I nm n girl nlmost
sixteen, and I am coming to jou for
advice
My parents are very strict and I am
not allowed to go with any one my own
age, but always, some one older. I'm
not allowed to havo any boy or girl
friends, and If I happen to meet boys
or girls nnd talk to them a while nnd
they walk as far as my homo with me
motV. likely It Isn't manners to let them
stand outside, and If I Invite them In
they aro plainly shown their company
Is not desired.
I want to havo a few friends, Cynthia,
and It seems Imposslblo to reason this
out with either father or mother, ad
they think young people are better If
they keep to themselves. Please help
mo and In tho meantime I'll try to keep
smiling. SEEKING ADVICE.
How old are you, dear? You do not
say and sometimes the reason parents
do not welcome older boys and girls
Is that they feel their daughter is too
young to havo older friends. And they
may be right.

Trolley Trip Bored Him
Dear Cynthia Kindly answer these
queries and print this also for the beno
flt of "A Good Girl, But Disgusted."
I havo known a beautiful little young
woman for the post six years and each
time I called she would greet me with
both of her lovely little handt. This,
you see, would naturally make a fel
low's heart "thump," besides urging him
to call again soon. I had not seen hoi
for a long time before the one evenlnf
thnt we want for a walk through the
park. We sat down on a bench facing
the Schuylkill.
She looked so pretty: her personality
had bo hard hit mo with Its quality, I
could hardly resist crushing what I
thought was a raro possibility to mo.
In the meantime smothering her with
kisses. For a moment or two I thought
of nothing but my own enjoyment, bui
when she looked up, her head against
my shoulder, she was In a great out
burst of tears. Realizing that I had
compromised this girl and that it was
not Infatuation, but real love that had
urged tho occurrence I Immediately pro
posed marriage.
Imagine my delight, gentle readers,
when she cried, "Oh ! nnd threw her
arms around my neck to show that Hhe
meant It But, alas 1 Not long after
I felt so certain of the girl that I found
It boresome to ride tho samo trolley In
the same direction so often. I lost her,
Cynthia. How might I try to explain
and probably win her back?
BOB I. S.
If you got bored going to see her I
really think you deserved to lose nor.
Bob, have you begged for a second
chan co?
Never be too sure of a woman's love
and neglect her because you aro so
sure Remember negloct Is one of the
hardest things a woman might have to
bear and if she finds It beforo marriage
eho Is not to risk marriage.

Peggy. She thrashed out wildly to save
herself from tho sharp sword of Needlo
Nose, the pirate chief,
Needle-Nose made n mocking face nt
her as he dodged away from her slap
ping hand. Tho plrnte leader felt that
ho had Peggy, Billy, Folly Wisher and
tho African girl and jouth nt his mercy.
No matter how hard they thrashed they
couldn't drive the pirates away.
But as if in answer to Peggy's wish
for somo way to fight tho pirates, a
thought popped into Billy's head, no
had seen boy scouts drive mosquitoes

leaving tne scouts in peace to tell their
campnro stories and to sing their camp
fire songs.
If smoko drove away the mosquitoes,
why wouldn't It drive away tho winged
pirates?
"Gather nround me nnd guard me
against tho swords of tho pirates I"
cried Billy. "I am going to make a
fire."
"How silly!" shouted Folly Wisher,
without asking why Billy wns going to
build n fire. "It is too hot in here
already."
Peggy and the two African savages
didn't wait to nrgtie the matter. They
gathered around Billy, and facing out
wnrd bent tho nir with their fly swat
ters. The pirates grinned nt them and
nttneked from nil sides, stabbing Peggy,
Flower of the Forest, Youth of tho
Lion Heart nnd Folly Wisher wherever
a slinrp sword could pierce, tho skin,
Billy, thus protected, gnthcred a heap
of dry grass from the floor of tho wig
wam. He broke little twigs from the
Inside covering of tho wigwam nnd
placed these on the grass. When he had
n large pile built, he drew a match from
his pocket. lie struck the match on
a stone and touched tho flame to the
dry grass.
At once n little blnr.c sprung up. The
blaze cnught the twigs nnd in a minute
the fire was blazing merrily. Billy
henped on more twigs nnd when' these
were aflame he pulled green branches
from the wigwam covering nnd threw
them on the blaze.
The green branches partly smothered
tho flames, and nt once n dense smoke
poured up from the firo.
Tho plratos had been fighting hnrd
nnd evilly. They hnd stabbed 'Pcggj
nnd the others on heads, bands, necks,
nrms and legs. As they stabbed they
laughed and grimaced.
But when the smoke poured up from
tho lire thnt wns nnother matter for
the pirates. It caught them with their
mouths spread wide In mean grins. It
filled their throats. It made them
splutter nnd choko. They stopped their
stabbing nnd they tried to get away.
The smoke wns smothering them,
"no! no! Ho!" laughed Folly
Wisher, as he saw how the smoke upset
tho nlratcsi "Ho! Ho! Ho! Now we
know how to drive awny these imps!
Hl Ho! Ho!" Follsr Wisher laughed
so hard thnt he gulped down n lot of
smoke. And when the smoke got into
his throat he spluttered nnd choked ns
bndlv ns the swamp pirates.
Blllv niled on more nnd more green
brunches nnd the smudge became thicker
nnd thicker. It filled the wigwnm so
iimf nn mctter which wny the plrntos
flew they could not cscnpe it. They
were ns helpless before the smoke as
Peggy, Billy nnd tho others had been
before the necdle-llke swords.
But Peggy nnd Billy did not hnvc nny
time to bo glnd over this victory. The
smudge smothered the swamp pirates,
but it smothered the humans ns well.
"Wo must get out of here," gasped
Billy. "We must get out before ths
smoko overcomes us." He tried to tenr
out the branches that stuffed tho door
way. Tho smoko fillnd his eyes, his
mouth, his throat, his lungs. He fell
over in a stupor. Peggy, Folly A Isher.

Some Doctors Say That Sports for Girls 3
Mate Them Mannish, and Ruin Health '
But There Is NotDanger of This if You Take Your Outdoor'
Exercise Easily and Don't Overdo It
THERE is a discussion going on now
In London nbout athletics for girls.
A number of prominent persons, nmnng
them several women doctors, claim thnt
thin is dangerous fun.
Olrls Who go In too strenuously for
athletics harden their brains nlong with
their muscles, and become stupid nnd
dull, they say.
They become physical wrecks Inter In
life, their children nro nlwnys girls or
puny little boys, feldom( if ever, henlthy
boys.
One goes so far ns to Ptnto that thttno
girls who have developed wide hirs nml
overdeveloped chests nre not lino girls,
but degenerates! .
Nnturnlly thero Is a strong other sldo
to this discussion.
Women who have plsyed tennis,
rowed n bont nnd skated vigorously nil
through their girlhood, read these state
ments, look nt their three or four stur
dy, healthy boys nnd exclnim indig
