I am a schoolgiri sixteen years of age--in love with a boy 'of seven- teen. We are engaged, but he works in a bank, and he cannot marry for five years. No one knows we are en- gaged. Should we tell everyone? I would like others to know as the girls would not be so friendly with my Jack. But we are bvth afraid people SUSAN. Answer: Why not keep it a secret, years in such a weary time to wait when one is just sixteen! And just between ourselves Susan, (though you will not believe it), you might .become tired of your Jack in al] thise mufths, And some one much more wonderful might come into your life. Just wait and see. Study hard, and don't have too many dates with Jack. You real- ly are rather youn; you know, my . dear, INA ST, JOHN. * * Dear Miss St. John: May I step into the corner out of the cold where I haye lingered long? I am a handsome widow forty-seven years old. I operate the hotel my hius- band ran for twenty years,- Last spring a young man (twenty- eight) came to live here. He became sick and I nursed him through a ser- ious illness. He was not able to work until last week. So he is deeply in my debt. He would do anything to square his account. - Now here is' my problem, Miss St. John: I am romantically in love with him. (I married {or money only), He is very fond of me also and so very grateful. I know he does not regard me as a sweetie but I could soon change all that. There is no gir] in the way. But could' I make him Is it fair to him to force myself upon him when I know he does not love me? LONELY LOUISE, Amswer: In my opinion your plan is a miserable ene, Louise. With your experience you might make the 'young man fancy himself in love with you. But after your marriage He would re- cover from his infatvation for a wom- en almost twenty years his senior. Some girl would soon attract him, and that would make you koth very un- happy, For even if he remained true to you he would never he contented. So if you love this young man con- sider his side of the matter. Let him pay his debt in money--not by selling himself body and soul. INA ST.

It has evolved into the house of today, which inclines toward fewer rooms of compact utilized. A metamorphosis due in part to limited city lots, in part to the dis- appearance of the maid-of-all work who worked for room and board and liked it, but chiefly due to the age in which we live when most time is spent outside the home. It's a "speed age" and our houses are now keyed to the swiftness of the automobile and the of the old-time family coach. : ee a | HOW TO HAVE A "GUEST ROOM" In the small house, how to man- age a guest room with the limited space at hand is often a question. One of the cleverest answers we have yet seen is turning a small upstair room into a sitting room provided with a day bed, chest of drawers and small desk. The day bed can be made up into a comfortable bed at a moment's notice. a private sitting room. When _ there are no guests, the family can use this room as ar upstair living room. % * * APPLE GREEN Color Scheme A small bedroom is charmingly fur- nished with apple-green bed, dresser and dressing table.
