Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am. a girl of 22 and have been going with, a younsr man pf 23 for almost two years. He got so jealous I just could not have any pleasure. He . would hear that I was with- another boy and would quaivel with me. , Now he and I have stopped goins to gether and he says I am the cause cf it all. I am so worried I can't enjoy (myself. I have written him tellin? him I am sorry for what I did and asked him to come back, but he doesn t seem to care. Last Sunday afternoon he came by here and with another girl and it al most took my breath. He always spealf 3 to me and 'comes to my home with my brothers and he is good to me. He Is a divorced man, . but I have known him since childhood. Can you tell me what to do? Must I go with other boys ,and try to forget? I don't believe I can for I love 'him dearly and want him back. Should I write him, or what should I do? GIRLIE. C. Do not write to the young man. You have tried that method already and failed. Time will heal your wound and you will learn to forget. My advice is to go with other young men and be fore you know it you will find your self interested in some one else Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am , a good' looking girl of 16. I do not want you to think I am conceited when I say I am good-looking, because my friends say, I am one of the best-looking girls In bur town. I am in love with a man eight-years my senior who is a . traveling man who sells things in his car. He said he loved me and we were going -.to get married In June. He . also buys me things. I There is .a bad girl in this town who! just came here from another city. I saw my fellow with her- one night. I don't think he was nice. What do you think? My parents want me to marry him. . ANXIOUS. There are "gay- deceivers'. : in every profession, and especially among trav eling men. The very nature of tho work makes It possible for a man with loose morals to do just about as he pleases. He is not known by the town people and he doesn't care what they think about him, because his home and friends are elsewhere. I am afraid, little girl, that you have been deceived by the man who pre tended to be your lover. He prdbably enjoyed your company and talked- of love and marriage when he had no in tention of fulfilling his promises. Now he has seen another pretty face and has lost interest in yours. It seems to me you are rather harsh in your judgment of the stranger In town. To say that a girl is bad merely because you do not know about her is surely a mistake. If you knew the truth you might find that she has done nothing that you yourself have not done. You are placing too much .impor tance on the fact that people tell you that you are pretty. Your friends may know that you have, a weakness for flattery and tell you such things just to see how easily you take in what they say. Beauty means nothing if It is not backed up by character and a pleasing personality. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I desire to know which is proper, if one meets a feminine acquaintance on the street is it proper etiquette for the man to greet the girl first or vice versa? MRS.' S. J. In this country the woman speaks first but in many European countries it is the other way. POPULARITY OF LENINE AMAZING TH I REE MO VEY RE DAYS OF SIX-BAY JUNE SALE MONDA Y, WES BAY.

His Personality is What Holds the Bolshevik Re gime in Power. Riga, Latvia, June 18. Ienine's per sonality and the faith that most Rus sian peasants and workingmen have in him, despite their dissatisfaction with conditions under which they are forced to live, is perhaps the one big factor that holds the Bolshevik regime in power, says Captain M. C. Cooper, of Jacksonville, Fla., who escaped from a prison camp near Moscow. Captain Cooper was flying for the Polish army when made prisoner in July, 1920. "Lenine is still the most popular man in Russia," said Captain Cooper, "much more so than Trotzky. I found that the majority of peasants and workingmen, even those in prison, be lieved in him. They are terrorized by the Tcheka,' or counter revolutionary committee, which really is running things in Russia. But I believe that jf the 'Tcheka' . were abolished practical ly everybody would be for Lenine." This, said Captain Cooper, is not hard to understand, for Lenine's pic tures have been distributed everywhere. Travellers in Russia will see two of his pictures for every one of Trotzky, Regarding the "Tcheka," which, with its manifold branches and subdivisions that stretch out like the tentacles of an octopus into every village, forming a combined supreme court, detective department and spy system, which has powers of life and death to "combat counter revolution," Captain Cooper saia: "The 'Tcheka' has every one terror ized. The saying is that one in every four persons is a member of it or some other sort of a spy. One of the Rus sian officers with whom I was Im prisoned and who has been informed that he was to be released told me he was afraid to go home, as he had four children, and was afraid one of them might be a spy. FOUGHT AT WATERLOO 106 YEARS AGO TODAY London, June 18. Today, the 106th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo is being celebrated in the officers messes of the Guards and other famous regiments, while the statues of the Duke of Wellington at Hyde Park Cor ner and the Royal Exchange are gar landed. IThe "Iron Duke's") successor, the present Duke of Wellington, has to pay f'rentr" today for hia residences at Strathfield Saye and Apsley House, London, which were presented by the nation to the vietor of Waterloo. The rent, however, is only what is known as "peppercorn rent" a legal fiction which is supposed to prevent anybody becoming the absolute possessor cf any land or building. In the Duke's case it takes the form of an annual tribute of a small silken flag on a silver staff, replica of a cap tured French standard. This was duly rendered to King George's representa tive at Buckingham Palace this morn ing by the Duke's secretary, and "Will find its way to the officer's mess of the Guards regiments at Windsor. TO STAGE OLD BIBLECLASSIC At Heath, Mass., Physical Counterpart of the Village of Bethlehem. Heath. Mass., June 18. The hills of this little western Ma'ssachusetts town, said to be almost an exact counterpart of those which encircle- the ancient vil lage of Bethlehem in Palestine have been selected as the setting for a page ant of Old Testament times which la to be staged this summer to raise funds for the starving children, of foreign lands. - The play will be the drama of David and the actors for the most part will be the country folk of neighboring farm ing communities, many of whom have a strong dramatic instinct. Miss Flora White of this town is directing the pro- i duction. j The drama portraying ssme of the tragic events wnicn naa tneir origin in the mental disorder of King Saul is to be enacted In the outskirts of a deep wood bordering an open pasture. The scene Is just outside the gatea of Beth lehem near which Saul had pitched hie walls of Bethlehem and the pavllioirofi Saul are to be loc&tea on un xu-aws right of the natural -. amphlthersrtre which forms the. stage.

It also repre sents the spot toward which the soir; dlery and the town folks drift for goe-; sip and to which Jonathan goes to ; practice his favorite pastime apchery. Here too David meets Michal, the daughter of Saul, before entering: upon: his outlawry- and makes the solemn vow: "As the Lord liveth and my soul liveth I will claim thee again." How faithfully, the vow was kept through: the long years of banishment and pursuit and hard fighting is made clear when David is crowned King of Judah, for his first words as monarch were to the premier Abner, refusing to make a league with him until he had brought him Michal who was given Da vid to wed".
