I hope you had just the merriest, hap- piest, Jolliest Christmas time that has" ver been yet. That's the way Christmas should come to '-very true Helper. In one of the Christmas books I used to love years and years ago, end itl'.l love, a book written for boys and i'..r. -. there was a quotation written by a man who loved children. H|B na'ii > was Charles Klngslpy. Havo you heard about him? 1 hope If you have that you have read tho book he wrote calle-d "Water Babies." It is a very pretty story. Among (lie things that Char!es Klngslcy wrote was thegi.- four little lines: "Do the thing that's nearest, Though it's dull t whiles, Helping when you meet them. Lame dogs over allies." Tho same little book had in it some other lines of kindness. Now kind- ness and helpfulness go hand in hand. To be a really triu- i! -Ip-.-r oi;e must harp tin- spirit of kindness in one's ioart.

Their mistake is that they visit Uio wrong de- partment in tho drug store. Beauty depends upon health. Worry, sleepless nights, neadachesi, pains, disordeis and weaknesses o-f a distinctly fem- inine character in a short time bring the dull eye, the "crow's feet," the haggard look, drooping Bhouldera, and the faltering step. To retain the appearance of youth you must retain health. ;tcad of lotions, powders and paiuts, ask your druggist for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrption. This famous medicine strikes at the very root of these enemiea of your youthful appearance. It makes you not only look younger but feel younger. It overcomes the weakness and builds you up. Your druggist can supply you with liquid or tablets; or send ten one-rent stamps to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo. N.

Dear Madam: I have been reading your advice to sirls very carefully 'and think it is a splendid tiling for girls to get such helpful advlc", and wiiiild you please dvo me, your assistance in the follow- ing matter: I am a girl cf sixteen and do not mean any love affairs whatever. I am only asking for your advice, as my parents are constantly worrying me. about this question. I have been keeping company with a young man of eighteen for about three or four month!. There is something nbuut ihla young man I detest, in ether .v.irds he thinks himself too smart. Wh?n we come honn from shows, he will* want me to stand on the veran- dah viml talk with him. He will kiss mo often. I have told him not to, but all in vain. He is thinking too much about love, and I am too young yet to be thinking of It. There are two girls who live across the* road frcm him. 'He takes them out lo shows quite often, and then comes to Origin of "Emerald Isle."

My parents think a great deal of this young man and they tell me to still k?ep company with him, and I don't want to. I have known him since 1 was four or five years old. There is another young nran of nineteen I know quits well, and think him to be a very nice young man indeed. He is clean about his talk, and also Is sensible. The other night he was go- ing to tafte his sister and her hus- band and me to a show, but when we got to the theatre, it was full, SD in- stead, we went for a car ride. He asked me if I would trust him to take me to a place which is twelve miles from here. I said I did not know, and he said I could trust him. My parents do not know this young man as well as I do, and they think I should not chum with him. Now, dear Rosalind I do not mean that I want to love him. but I think he is such a thoughtful boy, and I only -want to chum with him, which I think is not more than right, as I am too young to '.ove a fellow in any way My par- ents are always telling me to chum with tnis other boy. I do not care for him. They think so much of him, they think I should too. but I can't. So dear Rosalind, please give me your advice, as I will value ft highly. 8UN8HIKB. Dear Sunshine: I shall have to call you Sunshine III. for there are two others already who claim that name. Indeed my dear, you are far, far too young to think about boys, except as chums and playmates. I am sure your mother does not seriously consider letting you keep company with young men. If you te!l her how disgusting this boy's manner is, I fpp| positive she will b? as angry about it as you are: Girls cannot bo too careful about choosing hoy friends; and about keep- ing themsolves sweet and free for the Prince charming who will come when they are old enough to recognize him. Do not go out with boys your mother dees not know; and when you go for a ride, take her with you. ROSALIND. Dear Rosalind: I received your letter containing "Violet's" address. Thanks. I have just finished writing to her, and now 1 am s;-nditiK you a few lines. A short time after I wrote to you your column failed to appear in our paper, and so I missed the ex- planation of the delay of your a% swer. I do wish that your column wuld appear in our piper again.
