"Dear Anne Hirst:
Nine months ago I met a boy
on a blind date. When he went
back to college, he started writ-
ing regularly. I invited him to
r. dance one weekend, then he
asked me to one of his college
affairs. I was so sure I had found
a wonderful new friend!
"But when he came back I
only saw him twice, and he has
stopped writing at all.
"A friend of his tells me that
he thinks I'm a fine girl, but he
doesn't want to get serious with
anybody . , . What can I do to
change his mind?
Worried."
▪ Nothing.
The lad is smart enough to
* realize he has to prepare for
* his career, and he cannot af-
* fdrd to give any girl the at-.
• tention he may wish to. The
* attitude does him eeredit. You
* would be very foollsh to Indi-

* he would not admire you for it,
• Later on, he al* look you
* up, but don't count on it. Date ▪ the nice boys you know at

• Men admire a good sport.
• Show him that you are one.

A man proves his love not only

TIME TO COOL OFF
Irate motorist James Kilbane,
of Muskegon, braked his car to
a standstill after being bumped
by another motorist, took off
his jacket and tossed it on the
hood of the car which had hit
his, and prepared to do battle
with the, offending motorist.
The offender wasn't at all an-
xious to pay damages in physi-
cal •retribution, so immediately
drove off, taking the spare
jacket with him still draped over
the hood of his car.
Girl Crook Is
Too Sentimental
Shortly after the local church
clock had chimed two Axil, a
trimly built, pretty girl o twen-
ty-four slipped quietly out of
the back door of the little Ea-
'Varian farmhouse where she
lodged, mounted her bicycle
and rode off through the dark-
n ess of the fine summer's night,
She rode swiftly, without
lights, carefully avoiding the
main road by cutting through
side lanes which led from the
village. She knew that she was
unlikely to meet a policeman or
a belated wayfarer there,
Twenty minutes later she
reached' her destination — a fair-
sized, isolated house overlook-
ing a stream. She was going to
lob it. She knew that the
wealthy widow who owned it
was away in Austria on holiday
for at least a, fortnight.
Coolly, with a skill born of long
practice, the young woman
burglar used a jimmy to force
a kitchen window at the side of
the h 6 us e, She scrambled
through noiselessly.
Once inside, she rapidly lift-
ed" some jewellery worth about
$600 and a wad of money which
she found concealed at the back
of a desk in the widow's down-
stairs sitting-room. She also
took a few silver spoons from a
sideboard drawer.
Then she calmly and silently
helped herself to a glass of.
Rhine wine before continuing
her hunt for loot in the upstairs
rooms. She found little there
worth taking — only a fat wal-
let at the rear of a dressing-
table drawer. She did not pause
to examine its contents. Time
was short. She must quit the
house and speed unseen back
to the farmhouse before daylight
came.
Within three quarters of an

hour she was back in bed in'her
morn at the farmhouse. She
smiled grimly as she heard the
fat farmer and his wife snoring
in the room below hers, How
astonished this honest old pair
Would be if they learned that
their well-spoken girl lodger
Was a professional burglar!
It was only after she had
reached the comparative safety
Of a big German City some days
later that the girl examined the
contents of the wallet clotely.
A cursory inepection had shown
that it dontained letters of some
kind.
Idly one afternoon, after plan-
ning another burglary that night,
she began to read the leaers,
They were passionate lode let-

bet late husband before their
marriege.
The girl burglar was tough,
but she felt strangely touched
by what the dead lover had
written. And when she cattle to
a Phrase in which he had sworn
his "eternal love, no matter
What the future they hold," she
made a resolve. Those let,ers
must be returned to the plate
Where alto had found them.
And so it was that a woman
crook showed a redeeming fern
turd by returning to the liaise
of the Worrian she had robbed
arid putting back the treasured
rove letters, Acting on impulse,
slit also returned the widow's
jewellery arid spoons Which, she
felt, Might have been gifts to the

stolen.
