Doris and the Merry Worker.
Well, dear me, little bee," Dorris
laughed as a bee lighted on the
blossom at her side. "What a busy
fellow you are! Do you like to
gather honey?"
"Pshaw!" buzzed the busy bee.
"I wish I were gathering honey. It
wouldn't be any work at all to go
out and gather honey. It would be
like play, I'll say."
"Why, I thought that was what
you were doing when you buzzed
around the flowers," replied Doris.
"Then what are you doing, if I may
ask?"
"Gathering sweet juices from
which honey is made," laughed Mr.
Busy Bee.
"But how do you get them to the
hive?" asked the astonished Doris.
Well," buzzed Busy Bee, open-
ing his jaws so Doris could see in-
to his mouth, "do you see my long
tongue? That tongue is as flexi-
ble as it can be. 1 can twist it any
way I wish. See the bristle-like
tufts on it?"
"Yes, indeed, I see them," replied
Doris.
"They look like the chimney-
sweeper's brush which he used on
Grandma's chimney one day."
"I can't say as to that," buzzed
Busy Bee, "but I can say this—
without them, I never could gather
any sweets. Why, I just take that
brush and sweep the sweet juice
out of a flower and scrape it
through my jaws into my mouth.
From there it goes into my crop,
where it is made into honey."
"My* goodness!" laughed Doris.
"The very idea! I never heard of
anything so funny in all my life.
And yet some folks think all a bee
has to do is to sip honey from a
flower."
"They have another guess com-
ing, if that's what they really
think," laughed Busy Bee. "I sup-

ADVICE
TO GIRLS
By Annie Laurie.
Dear Annie Laurie:
I am a young girl, 19 years old
I met a young man about my age
about two months ago, and I loved
him the first time ] went out with
him. I do not go with him as I
would like to, for he hasn't any
way of taking me.
He acts as if he is really foi^d
of my company and doesn't want
me to talk to other young men.
Please give me your advice what
to do. He is a nice young man.
Should I stop and talk to him on
the streets?
BROWN-EYED JOHNNIE.
Brown-Eyed Johnnie: The young
man should not object to your hav-
ing other friends, my dear, because
you are not engaged to him. You
should explain this clearly to him.
Invite the young man to your |
home. This Is the nicest way to j
see him. Slop for a moment, but i
not too long, when you meet your j
young men friends on the street.
Dear Annie Laurie:
We are two young girls in our
teens and wish to know how to
win the, affection of two young
gentlemen who we have been keep-
ing company with for several
months.
Our parents being very fond of
them, seem determined we shall
marry them. We dearly love these
young men, but it seems they have
only friendship for us. Please ad-
vise us.
FRITZ.
Fritz: There is nothing you can
do to force young men's love, my
dears. .lust be sweet and polite to
them when you see them. This is
all you can do. Anything else
would cause you to appear forward
and undignified.
Dear Annie Laurie:
I am a girl 19 years of age and
am engaged to a young man four
and one-half years my senior. I
have only known him one year. He
wants me to marry him soon, but
I don't know whether to or not.
Sometimes I rather think I want to
wait two or three years, and then
again it seems I just can't wait a
bit longer.
Do you think I should wait?
My mother advises me to never
marry. She seems to think I would
be happier if I would stay single.
But I can't think so.
Do you think I would?
ROSEBUD LIPS.
Rosebud Lips: Waft until you
are absolutely certain you are in
love, my dear, before you marry.
Dear Annie I^aurle:
I am a girl of 16 years. I met a
young man at a dance. I invited
him to my home, but my parents
won't let him call on me. He acts
as If he cares for me.
What should I do to go with the
young man?
M. K. T.
M. K. T.: Wait until you are
older, my dear. Then, perhaps your
parents will not object to your
friendship with him.
Don't meet him without their
consent, my dear.
