Go Talk With Her Mother Dear Cynthia I am coming to you for a llttlo advice. You have helped others and I know that you can holp mo. To begin with, I nm a young mnn nnd I havo never bothered about any girls at all up until about four months ago. I met a nlco little girl. Sho Is not beautiful, but n plain girl who does not uio powder or paint and does not run nround to dnnco halls. Sho can sew, cook . nho mnkcB her own clothes and Is a wonderful housekeeper. She Is Just tho kind of girl I am looking for. I'vo known her since a child, but never Bald anything to her until four months ngo. I asked her to nccompany me to a show and she accepted. Well, after I called upon her n few weeks I told her that I cared and that I loved her, and I proposed to hor. And sho told me that sho loved me, too, and she itisseu mo nnu began to cry, nna told mo with tears In her eyes that she nlways wanted a man Jlko mo. And i propiisoa 10 marry ncr in six montnft nftor I DroDosed to her. nnd sho said all right. Everything was golrig along very niceiy. i caned to seo her twlco a wook and sho let mo kiss nnd hug her every tlmo I called. But threo weeks ngo sho told me that sho thought that sho was too young to keep company nnd she asked mo not to call to seo her nny more. I asked what was wrong nnd she Bald that I dd not mean what I said, that I loved her. When sho told me that I offered to marry her right then nnd thore, but sho began to cry and told mo thnt sho would marry me In a year's tlmo. Sho Is only sixteen yenrs of n.sro. Well, I told her I would wait for her and would bo back for her In a year. Wo parted good friends. Dear Cynthia, nil tho time I was call ing upon her. her mother did nnd doei not know that we love each other. Her mother llkos mo; sho knows that I have a good reputation ; hut I know that she can't mnko out why I como to her home so often. Sho does not know that I love her daughtor. Tho girl told mo that her mother asked her what It could mean that I called bo often. And now that I am not going to call nt nil, I know her mothor will bp wondering what has happened. Che girl was nfratd to tell hor mother that I lovo her. Dear Cynthia, I lovo this girl moro than words can tell. Now, I want her to understand mo. Wo did not part bad friends, sho only told mo that sho did not want to keep company so young, and tho understanding Is that In a yoar'a tlmo I can como back again. I am truo to tho girl, nnd 1 told her I would be waiting, but the thing that Is worrying mo Is why did she let m mako lovo to her nnd let mo kiss nnd hug her nnd then toll mo that she Is too young? When I told hor that sho said that she did not realize whnt sho was doing. Do you think that I should tell tho clrl's mother all about what is between us or shall I let It go as it Is? Cynthia, I can give the girl a good home. I nm working steady. I know that you will toll mo that aha Is too young to marry, but I lovo her and I know sho loves mo. What would you advlso mo to do? I am ton venrs older nnd she knows It. JOHNNY. Your wisest plan would be to go to tho mother and talk It over with her. Tho girl 13 vory young nnd is timid about entering into this new relation ship so young. Her mother should havo been told In the beginning, How could you or sho expect to marry In six months' or a year's time without having asked the mother's consent? A gin cnnnoi marry in I'enns.vUnnla be foro Bho Is twonty-ono unless sho has her parents' consent. ,A license could not bo Issued for a mnrrlnge without the consent of parent or guardian. Go and seo tho mother and t.ilk It nil over with her. Toll her how tendorly you lovo tho llttlo girl nnd that you are willing to wait a year or two If ie Insists to claim hor, but that you want her understanding and help. You will seo It will all como out right. Read Your Character By Digby Phillips No. 37 Lovo of Lifq You've probably heard of the so cnlled bump of aggressiveness, which lies back, of the ear.

Ho hnd told them, too, that they must corn tickets in order to get to it. But how were they to earn tickets to tho Toyvlllo ball? Thnt is what puz zled Jack nnd Jnnet ns they sat on tho front steps watching the sun go down. They hnd naked Bobby Bouncer, Jnck's rubber ball, who had led them through the secret door of tho stone wall on their visit to Mr. Pieman, but Bobby hnd not answered. Ho sst up in tho tree where Jnck hud bounced him. nnd only grinned nt tho children. "I wish some good fuiry would ihow us how to cam tickets for the ball," sighed Jauet. "I am afraid it is too lato now," said Jack glooniil. "Wis will havo to go to bed in u few minutes. ' Just then u little girl came down tho street. She was v, cepiiig bitterly uud held In her arms the oodj of u headless doll. "What is the matter, llttlo glrP" asked Janet. "My dear, dear dolly, Marie, fell In the street and an uuto truck smashed her head nil to pieces," sobbed tho little girl. "Thut is too bud," replied Jack, "but you can get another doll head nt the store." "We nre pour nnd have no money to buy another doll heud for Murie," bobbed the little girl. Junct remembered thnt upbtuirs among her treasures was tho head of Isabclle, the most beautiful doll she ever had. The liody hud been torn to bits by n bud dog. but the pretty head was baved. Some day Janet's mother was going to sew the head on another doll body. Jnnet loved her dull civ much, but sne was sorr) lor tliu poor little girl. Why not gle her tho beautiful doll head? The thought put n l-jng in Ja net's heart, but sho was luiue. "Let me, take jour dolly, and. per haps, I can tliiil u good fairy who will give it another head," she said. Tho poor little girl gnvo Janet the headless body and Janet ran into the house with it. She found Isabella's beautiful head and took it to her mother. Her mother smiled when Jnnet told her what she wanted, and sewed Isabella's bend upon the headless body of the poor little girl's doll. Isabella's hond looked a bit queer on Marie's body, which wus drcsod in shabby and ragged clothes, but she was still verv beautiful. Janet kissed I-nbelln good-bv, nnd held bnck her tear. She handed the doll to the llttlo ctrl with n smile. "Do you like tLe new hend tho fairv gave your dollj ?" sln asked. The poor little girl's eje lighted up with joy. "Oh. this Is ten times prettier than my own dollv," sho cried. "Thank vou. nnd thank the good fairy." Her joy mndo Janet feel hnppv In spite of her sorrow at parting with Isa bella. The poor little girl handed Jnnet a slip of tinner. "This is nil T have to Rive j-oii," slip said. "But It will brinu' jouglnd ness."

But there were only two prizes, nnd each child wns to writo a picture. Tho child who won the first prize wrote nbout his mother's fnce, which, he said, won "tho most benutlfulcst thing I've ever seen In nil my life." "It tries to make everything bo picas nnt," ho went on, "When you go nwny It smiles you away 1 When you como homo it smiles you homo I When you'ro bad It smiles you good ! When you'ro sick it smiles you well I" Ho wasn't n very big llttlo boy, but his thoughts wero very big. Mothers aro like that. Thnt "bcautlfulcst" smile never falls J'OU. If you nro worried, it reassures and strengthens you. If you're hnppy, It fits in with your happiness. If you're unhappy it sympathizes and soothes. And If you'vo dono wrong It for gives. Thcro may bo hurts that would take it away, if It didn't belong to n mother, thcro may be sorrows nnd worries be hind it, but when you need it, It's there, in jubt the mood that you want most, IN THE story of tho three prizes there was one child who didn't win a prize. There always is, in the wor'd. And that is one speclnl thing that mothers are for. Bccauso when tho little girl who didn't win n prizo tried to hide her dis appointment nnd fnilcd, thcro wns mother. And In her hnnd she held her prpcious llttlo gold pencil with nn ngato In the end. tho delight of nil three children. That little pencil In mother's bug nl ways is. But it wns Kuthle's after that, for The Heart Pirate By HAZEL DEYO DATCIIELOR Covuriaht. lOtl. ov P-tlllc Ledger Compan Theodora Caldwell has become en gaged to Jimmy Itland, and, to her surprise, is not happy about it. She tells her employer, Richard Makes lea, that she is leaving her job in order to be married, and he refuses to let her go. They have a battle of words, and Theo apparently wins out, but then the unexpected happens and Iilakcslcc kidnaps her and carries her of on his yacht. CHAPTER VII " Won't Take You Back" rpiIE minute Theo was set down on her feet she rushed to ono of tho portholes and peered nnxlously out. In stantly Blakeslce was beside her, evi dently ready to frustrate nny call for help. It was then that Theo whirled on him furiously. She wns white with rage and hpr eyes blazed furiously into his. "How dnre you, Mr. Blnkeslee! Oh. how dare you do this thing to me? I demand to be taken bock immediately!" "That's impossible." he returned curtly. "I'm sorrv to hnve- to carry j'ou off by force, Mips Caldwell. Behove ine, if it could have been mnnnged in nny other way I should hnvo been only too glad to do It. But you left me no nlternntive. nnd inns-much ns you didn't seem to appreciate the seriousness of the situation, I took matters into my own hands." The seriousness of the situation ! Theodora gasped nt his supreme egotism. It wnsn't nt nil serious to him that he wns carrying off n girl who wns engaged to be married, probably bienklng up her future happiness he evidently hadn't even thought of that. Theo gazed almost unseoingly through the porthole, nnd suddenly renlized that It would do no good to scream for help if she had wanted to employ such means to free herself. They were already far out in the river nnd the shore line of Now York seemed very far nwny. Of course sho might attract some passing boat, but that would put nn entirely wrong aspect on things. Whnt could she do then? Wns it possible that such a thing could happen In this twentieth century nnd thnt she could be actually carried off without being able to do anything nbout it? It certainly seemed so. for here she wns, and here was her captor standing oer her entirely in possession of tin whlphnnd while she wns helpless nml unable to do anything. "Don't you think jou might mnke the best of things?" Richard Blake-dec's voice came to hor through the morass of thoughts thnt were darting in nnd out of her mind Theodora suddenly wanted to scroain. to break down weakly anil cry. but her intuition told her thnt it would do absolutely no good, and that he must ronsuii with him if she ex pected to get nuj where nt nil.

Theo was sorry tho minute she hnd said this, and his next words were suf ficient to nssure her that she had rande a mistake. "I think you'll change vour mind about thnt, Mibs Caldwell.

Rage and humiliation rurged up in her and womanlike she was all the more angry because he did not tiiink her side of tho question Im portant enough to discuss. "I'm nothing but n grain of dust, a tiny little pawn in his big game of life," Theodora thought desperately, "but I'll show him. I'll make him nnv for wlmt he hns done. I won't submit to this thing.
