32 ‘Tam engaged to a young man two years older than myself. We get on beautifully except for one thing—he will insist upon showing his affec- tion for mein public places. Now, I do not like that sort of thing, and have told him so plainly ; but he claims that if I really cared for him I would be willing to have others know it. I wish you would please let me have your opinion in regard to this matter. CHLOE. G,”! . You are quite right in your ideas, and your . fiance should be made to realize this without delay. Caresses should be reserved for times when one is sure of privacy, and they will be all the sweeter for that reason. Nothing can bein worse taste than the manifestation of affection in public. It makes both parties ridiculous, and lowers them in the estimation of every one who observes them. We are frequently annoyed by this sort of thing on the street cars, in railroad trains, and in the theatres, and the woman who permits it lowers herself instantly. People who are in love fre- quently act foolishly, but there is no excuse for their doing so in public. “T am in great perplexity, and must ask you to help me out. I know that my betrothed cares a whole lot for me, but recently my attentions have seemed to annoy him. I cannot mention any one particular thing, but sometimes I seem to feel instinctively that my kisses and caresses are un- welcome. Heis not particularly demonstrative himself, but when we were first engaged he ap- parently liked to have me show how much thought of him. Can’t you tell me what I ought to do? Shall I ask him what is the matter? ‘CLAIRE W.”? You have probably been too lavish with your caresses. No man wants a woman to be too generous with hugs and kisses. Sweetmeats are not desirable for a steady diet, and you should not feed your lover on them continually. Be morechary with your tributes of affection, and you will soon find that he values them more than ever. Over demonstrative and compliant women rarely hold a man’s affection for a life- time. If your lover has to wait fora kiss or go without one occasionally, he will think them much sweeter than if they are lavished upon him incessantly. “T have just become engaged to a young man with whom I am deeply in love. My parents refuse to consent to the engagement until they have inquired into his life and business. My fance resides in another city, and I have not allowed my parents to make the investigation they wished, hecause it seemed to me that it would simply be an insult. I love him and he loves me, and I think that is all that 1s nece ssaury — don't your May W. No, May, we do not think that love is all that ig necessary. Your parents have your best in- terests at heart, and their desire to become assured that this man isa desirnble one for you to marry is evident proof of their affection. if your intended iq a right-minded man he will be very willing that they satisfy themselves in regard to him and will assist them to do 80. MY QUEEN. If his life has been stainless, his habits good, and if his income warrants his marrying,and you and he give them proof to this effect, then you might consider further objection unealled-for, If you have faith in your lover you should welcome their desire to prove his worthiness. ile — 29,000 Trial Packages FREE!
