when he would write to me and I
wouldn‘t answer. he would write to
my girl friends. As he was exceed-
ingly handsome the girls would an-
swer his letters. h'ow I like him.
but. when I write to him he doesn't
answer. Bis sister told me that be
liked me better than any of the
other girls. but. if he did don’t. you
think he would at. least answer my
letter? Please tell me how to get
him to rename om- courtship with-
out letting him know I care for
him? MABLE.
The young man probably got tired
of caring for you without. any re-
sponse and turned his attentions in
another direction. You did not up-
preciate him who he cared for you
and now will have to pay the price
of your business . I would not ad-
vise you to continue a correspond-
once in which he shows a lack of
lntecrst. If he does not. answer
your letters. the only thing for you
to do is to stop writing even if it
does hurt. you to do so.

of male white crania have been
recognized upon a basis of. relation
of capacity to linear dimensions.
"Unfortunately the only individ-

completely studied are those social .
ineffectivee who have so conipletly
failed in life that they are ultimately
