WOMAN IS i HON RED AT FIUMK BY POET-LEADER 1 1 EARTwHOMEBROBLEMS J By rtftS. M ELIZABETH J THOMPSON! . . Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a man So years old and have been married for nine years, but my wife has been dead 14 months. I have three children. I have bge i going with, a beautiful girl for six months. She takes great interest in me and I am deeply in love with her. she has been going with some one else and she thinks well of both of us. but she has quit him now and is going only with me. I love her and I want her to marry me, but I can't make her believe it. She takes a great interest in my go ing to church every Sunday. Please ad vise me. . W. F. The girl probably realizes that she ia too yourtg to marry a widower with, three children. She seems to care for you or she would not give up the other young man. Since you love her court her for a few months without mentioning marriage. At the end of that time she will know her mind better and can decide whether or not she loves you enough to majry you. In regard to church, surely it will not hurt you to attend! If I were you I would try to please her in this respect. - Dear Mrs. Thompson: My brother-in-law's brother, whom I have never met, is coming to my sister's to spend Christ mas. He has often expressed a desire to meet me and wrote to his brother that he hoped there would be a way made when he was here Christmas. My sister wants 1 to invite me over while he was there. Would it cheapen me to accept this invitation or should my sister and broth- er-in-law bring this man to my home? I do not know what is the proper course to take in this matter as I have no par ticular Interest in this man, but Jo not want to hurt the feelings of any one. fT YOURS RESPECTFULLY. - A E 0 1 1 fl V 0 C.fl L f 0 N 5 It would not compromise you to ac cept your sister's invitation. It is only natural that she should invite you. uear Mrs. Tnompson: Do you think a fellow who gets "acquainted with a girl through flirting would have much respect for her? Would they make good life partners? How can a girl who is backward win the love of a man? .RUBY. Flirting is not a safe way to make the acquaintance of a man. There have been times, however, when a man and woman have met through circumstance and not introduction, that both respect each other just as much. Your question depends en tirely upon, the character and per sonality of the girl and man in ques tion. If the girl is really worthy and flirted when her better-self was not uppermost, and if the man is kind and appreciates the goodness in the girl, she has nothing to fear afterward, and they would make as gcod life partners as if they had met in a more convention al way. .' Dear Mrs. Thompson: Will you kind ly inform me aa to- the proper use of place cards? IGNORANT PEGGY. Place cards were originated to pre vent confusioii at large dinner par ties. Now they are used for smaller dinners, too, and serve as favors and table decoration as well as to inform the guests where to sit. Dear Mrs. Thompson:. I have a son who served nearly two years In the army, but is now working in another state. He wants to apply for his bonus, but don't, know where to write. Will you pleas advise me what to do about this? . MRS. C. H. ' Write to' the Bureau of . War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C. K " " i mn ft win charged exorbitantly. There are only 200 of these vehicles in the city and virtually no taxicabs. One physician wrote to a newspaper that he was compelled to pay 1,000 crowns to be driv en a mile to a dying patient. One anti-Jevvish demonstration was checked by the police before it bad reached the riot stage. As the government now is, with the Workmen and . Soldiers' Council play ing such a strong part, there seems no attempt to regulate public transporta tion charges and the drivers exact what they can. At this writing the menace of another coal famine still hangs over the city. The coal supply Is most uncertain and affects transportation so directly tnat the food supply is seriously involved. The peasants still refuse to let grain come to the city, and are hoardinr: po tatoes and Other standard foods. The Vienna papers charge that in the agri cultural districts there is ample food of all kinds. Returning travellers from country districts tell the hungry Vien nese of milk and butter and cbeese in plenty, as well as sugar. The farmers have made money until they are rich and, as the crown no long, er has a purchasing value to speak of, they do not want any more. Here tales are told of pianos, phonographs, rugs and pictures filling peasant farm houses where the city dwellers have ex changed them for food. The peasants have Been warned that if Vienna really begins to starve this winter they may look for civil war. as the city dwellers will organize and arm and invade the agricultural districts. r DRtNIC ChsTQ'Cola Hard to Beat Haviland When it Comes to China Mrs. John A.

LONG CO. 33 East Trade St. Very probably most of my readers Kve in cities where adequate fire pro tection is offered. And yet I am moved to this talk today because"so many se rious home blazes become disastrous before the fire department can reach the home. I 'believe that every home should have some sort of emergency protec tion in addition to that provided by the town. There are dozens of instances where, if a hand grenade type of extin guisher had been used immediately, much property might have been saved over and above that saved by the ap pearance of the fire 'department in , the last stages of the blaze. In my own home which is in the country, and out of fire protection we have eight extinguishers on hand con stantly.

Not long ago I 'was myself using a device which reauires a small quantity of gas oline to prime it. Although careful, the gas caught on fire, quickly travel ed to the table, and in a moment it scorned as if the cellar was a mass of flames. s I grabbed the cellar extinguish er and squirted a stream of anti-fire into the laundry. A moment, and the fire, wns rmf. But where would I have been without that fire protection? There has recently been put on tne market small hand grenades which are most inexpensive. They cost about $1.50, and are so simple that a child mar use them, as the saying goes. Unfortunately many extinguishers are so clumsy and elaborate that a fright ened woman or child could not use them quickly enough." These small grenades o.rr, fiasv to open, can be hung up anywhere, and will put out a good-sized blaze. . Every school should have adequate protection, even in addition to that af forded by the department. The chil dren of older age could be taught how to use one, in case the teacher was not in the room when the emergency occurred. Lessons in fire prevention should form part of school learning.
