He walked home with me once from a moving-picture show, and then yesterday he walked up street with me. What shall 1 say when he proposes? Ido not want to keep him waiting after he has asked until I have wri ten and heard from you, so I ask you now. Gwendolyn. You are quite right in consulting me at just this time. If others con- sidered this important matter thus carefully beforehand there would be fewer divorces, As to your ans it depends largely upon whether you want to marry the young man or not. I presume you do, and, in this case, I should smile at him ina sur- prised and childish manner and thank him quietly and let him kiss me—just once. This is a great plenty. If you do not wish to mar- ry him see answer to Ethelinda be- low. HOW TO REFUSE A NICE YOUNG MAN. Tam a young girl of twenty and should like to know some easy, gen- tle way of refusing the hand of a nice young man, because I think I can perhaps do still better later. Please answer as soon as possible as he is waiting. Ethelinda, All you need to do is to smile at him a pained sort of smile and ad- him as follows: ‘Nothing could have occurred that would have pained more than this. Iappreciate the great compliment you have paid me, but I do not love you that way. You might come around in ten years, for, if single, my standards may have changed by ‘then.’ No young man could be hurt at so kind and tentative a refusal. It will keep alive in him a spark of hope, yet, at the same time, not give him undue encouragement.

Promptly an- FACTS ABOUT TROUT. By DON CAMERON SHAFER. HE FINEST trout can always be found on the covers of the April magazines, Trout are always cooked with their heads on, otherwise there wouldn't or- dinarily be enough left to cook. Trout are said to be easily fooled into biting on an artificial fly, but the truth is the anglers are more easily fooled into buying such artificial tackle. Trout are never less than six inches long—except where the law says they shall be eight inches—then they are eight. Trout are ‘‘top-feeders,”’ and so are people who order them in a restaurant. Trout are the greatest lure in the world for the rural shark to catch city suckers with. Trout can be best caught with the old-fashioned silver hook. in the brooks demand deep, swift, cool spring water; on the table they swim in champagne. The finest strings of trout can al- ways be seen in the summer- tion catalogues. IN MY GARDEN. by WILLIAM J. LAMPTON ] 80, into my garden Where Nature richly shows Her gracious handiwork In everything that grows. 1 go into my garden, I love those open’ hours Among the homely kitchen things And gorgeous flowers. I go into my garden, I wander through its paths That lead me to the blossoms Where bees take honey-baths. I go into my garden, Away from cares that irk, And learn the joy of letting The gardener do the work. THE HOOK-Y WORM. By EDWIN L. SABIN. Public prints “Tre bookworm chiedy attacks by eotering through bared feet HE SKY is blue, the white clouds ‘woo, The flicker drums and calls, And breezes waft the casement through To play within the walls. Now toes are hot and cramped, I wot, They wriggle and they squirm; The desk’s an irksome, tiresome spot— Beware the hook-y worm! Beware, beware, of soles laid bare Upon the teeming ground! I solemnly to you declare A danger lurks around. ‘Tis not a “cold ’—that scarecrow old (A inother’s fav'rite term); "Tis not rude bruises manifold; It is the hook-y worm! It gives strange dream of perch and bream, Of field and wood and pool; It hateful makes the backyard seem, More hateful makes the school. The sole doth itch, the limbs do twitch, The mind doth'wax less firm, The body restlessly doth hitch— Beware the hook-y worm! It subtly steals through toes and heels When pressed on bursting sod; + At first it like a kick-up feels, But changes to a rod. You may think joy, my frisky boy, To dare the pesky germ, But consequences oft annoy; So shun the hook-y worm.

THE PERIOD WHEN THE NERVOUS ACTIV: ITY IS AT ITS GREAT! “ Against the practice of giving tea and coffee to children, we cannot speak too strongly. Childhood is the period when the nervous activity is at its greatest. The brain is ever busy re- ceiving new impressions. Reflex ac- tion, co-ordination of muscles, and the special senses are all under a special course of training. “The nervous system is pushed to its utmost capacity, and long is the list of victims that follow its over-stimula- tion. In these little people nothing but harm can come from the use of such cerebral stimulants as tea or coffee. Bad, then, as this practice is, let us as physicians be aggressive in its prohibi- tion. “Do not he satisfied by answering ‘No,’ when asxed as to their use, but let us teach the families with whom we come in contact that such practice is evil. We speak emphatically, because not only among the poor and uneducated, but among the rich, who should know better, this practice is marvelously prevalent.""—The Home Doctor. Children like a warm beverage for breakfast, and it is well for them to have it if the drink is a food and nots drug. Postum is made to supply a rich, nourishing liquid food, with a crisp coffee taste, for those who cannot and should not use coffee.
