Drusllla'a Dilemma.
O
NE night after Drusilla. baVl t-.
turned from the hospital Bobhv
Jones popped out of his box and
asked: "What Is the matter, Drusilla.
have you had another accident?"
"Accident?" questioned Drusilla.
"Yes," said Bobby, "you look so queer
in that long white dress, and I thought
that bottle with the white stuff in it
might be medicine. Where are your
own clothes?"
"Well. Bobby Jones. I don't feel quite
sure whether I am having an adren-

ture or whether, as you say, I have met
with an accident.
"This bottle is filled with milk, and
it is my supper. I was put to bed with
it, because that is the way they do
with the new baby downstairs, and
because he wears a long dress. I
have to."
"He!" echoed Bobby Jones. "Do you
mean to tell me; Drusilla, that a boy
has come to live here all the time?"
"I can't say whether he has come to
stay or not, but he is my little mother's
brother, and I reckon he will live here."
"O! dear; oh! dear!" sighed Bobby
Jones. "What will become of us?"
"Oh. he is very little," explained
Drusilla; "not much bigger than I am.
It will be a long time before he can
get up here I am not worrying about
that; it is whether I am to be a baby
or not that I am fretting about."
"Why will you have to be a baby?"
asked Bobby; "isn't one in the house
enough?" ,
"You would think so if you could
hear him cry," answered Drusilla; "but
the trouble is this my little mother
wants to play with the new baby; she
wants it for a doll, and when the
nurse would not let her give it a bath
and dress it she began to cry.
"So they told my little mother to
play I was a baby, and do all the
things the nurse did with the new
baby.
"That is the Reason I have on this
dress. It is much too big, and now in
stead of candy and cake I have to
take milk from the bottle.
"I have to be put to bed and stay
there until the new baby is taken up,
and I can't go out in my carriage be
cause I am too young. I am all powder
and have to have all my clothes pinned
with safety pins because they are too
large, and sometimes the pin is not at
all safe. Why. this minute there is one
sticking into my back."
"Your little mother will get tired of
playing you are a baby, said Bobby,
who was trying hard to help Drusilla
bear her trouble calmly. "You will be
dressed in your own clothes in a day
or two, and riding in the park as
though nothing had happened."
"Oh, dear! I do hope so, Bobby
Jones," saVDrusllla. "Here I do not
know wheaer I have to grow up all
over again or whether I am going to
be a boy or a girl. This isn't an ad
venture or an accident; It Is a di
lemma. "Good night, Bobby, I don't suppose
I should have talked to you tonight,
because the new baby can do nothing
but cry. but whatever happens I hope
to be able to talk to you at night, even
if I have to be a baby all day."

Calls Oaee a Week.
i(T EAR Miss Blake: I am 23 and
mJ my fiance Is 25. We have been
engaged six months. He calls Sunday
evenings only, . stating that business
keeps him occupied the rest of the
week. I know that he attends public
places and' escorts girls home from
these affairs. He very seldom takes
me out, for he pretends that he Is sav
ing to get married. Shall I break our
engagement? Do you think he would
continue the same after marriage? Do
you think lost confidence can be re
gained? GALE."
I think that the man is treating you
unfairly. If he has time and money to
spend on other girls, he surely should
do more for you than merely to call
upon you once a week. However, It is
your fiance's privilege to know why
you are breaking the engagement, if
you break It. Tell him quite frankly
what the trouble is. If he Is in earnest
about wanting to marry you he will
reform. If he does not reform, you
would not want to marry him, anyway,
would you?
He la Angry.
"Dear Miss Blake: Several weeks
ago a boy friend of mine asked me for
a date, which I readily gave. After
ward another boy friend insisted that
I had already given him an engage
ment for that evening, and I remem
bered then that I had. I thought the
only thing to do would be to tell the
first boy that I couldn't see him, which
I did. He got real mad and I haven't
seen him since, except to speak to. I
think a great deal of them both, and I
see no reason why the second boy
should have acted that way, do you?
Do you think I should be the first one
to make advances? PERPLEXED."
You should have explained the mat
ter frankly to both of the boys. I am
sure that the first one would have
realized your position when he knew
that you had a previous engagement.
I judge from jour letter that you did
not explain to him that the engage
ment had been of long standing, but
simply told him that you. could not see
him. That was scarcely fair, you know,
was it? If you get an opportunity ex
plain everything, but do not go out of
your way to say anything about it.
What Shall She Do?
"Dear Miss Blake: I am 'going away
this Fall to a friend's house. It Is a
boy friend. Do you think it proper
for me to do so? When a girl is out
with a boy and they meet a friend of
his whom the girl does not know, what
should she do? Should she Just nod or
smile? BILLIE D."
If the boy's mother invited you to
visit them it is perfectly proper for
you to stay at the boy's house, but if
the invitation did not come from her,
do not think of going. It is sufficient
merely to smile. ; .
