Cynthia Grey: Engaged to One Girl, He Kisses Another—Says He Still Loves Only Fiancee, But Will Not Promise to Give Up Flirtations. BY CYNTHIA GREY Dear Miss Grey; I am the most unhappy girl in the world, I believe, T was to have been married soon to a young man whom I have gone with steadily for some time. Everything was lovely until last evening when we went | to call on a girl friend of mine. She has a sister one year }younger than I. We noticed that she and my fiance were not in the room, but thinking they were having a chat in the next room, we paid no attention. Fy After a time, as they were very quiet, something un- natural for both of them, I walked into the room and found them kissing one another. I didn’t say anything at the time, but on the home told him I wouldn’t tolerate such actions, He apologized, but would not promise that it would hot happen again, He says he still loves no one but me. I cannot under- stand, then, why he should want to kiss other girls, Oh, Miss Grey. I hate to give him wp but think T should do so if he is going to carry on such lirtations with other girls. What do you think? ELLEN, There is only one thing to think—your fiance is not yet ready to become engaged to anyone. If he really loved you he would understand the obligations of a promise to marry and would not make an issue of this matter. A flirting sweetheart is bad enough, but a fickle husband | would be still. worse. eee Thanksgiving TO LIFE CELL Slayer of Klansman Is Found Guilty of Murder ATLANTA, Ga, Doo, 22.-—"The yoide of heil” commanded Phil B.

JUSTICE ‘There ix a mamin Seattle who has been in clone touch with the political and elvic lite of the city for more than 60 years, Ho has seen mayors and counclis come and go, and some- times ho wonders how we have stood At all, Woe sat down and talked for an hour yesterday, and today I am more politically wise than I was before, tho most of the things he told me are not for re-telling. He in not strong for the elty man- ager plan. Ho says the present sys tem is all right if it is properly worked, One trouble, ho thinks, Is that we do not get enough big, able men on the city council. With ef- ficlent, honest men, of large caliber, ho declares there should be little trouble about running a. city lke this, ‘When told that it was difficult to Get tho right kind of men to run for the council and more difficult to keep the other kind from running, this wise old man laughed and said: “The heavyweights do not like to take the pounding that goes with running for office, The little fellows do not’mind it much, They are out for the job, and rough treatsient does not seem to ruffie their feelings. Those lightwetghts imagine they are in the hands of thelr friends as soon as half a dozen of the gung calle them up and advises them to try for the council, And when @ man or # woman begins to feel that he or she ls in the hands of friends, the case in well nigh hopeless. LIKE COYOTES; TWO MAKE LOT 0' NOISE “To such people it {s like being out on the prairle at night. One coyote comes slong and sets up a howl. Soon it is joined by another and when the two get in action you would think ali the coyotes in the township had gathered for chorus practice. When one of these two- by-fours gets the itch for office, it takes only a fow friends to make him think the whole city Is going crazy about him. Today some reorders began to come in. By this I mean that there seems to be some reaction on two or three of the names brought out for the council race in the first article on that subject, When asked for his choice for councilman, a man connected with the elty government said: “I like that man Hawley you have been talking about. Have known jhim slightly for many years, and he! SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22 Big Timber, Less Coyote Howling, Council’s Need J. R. Justice Gets a Slant From a Vet- Experience Here looks like good timber to me, Why don't you run him out?” Not knowing Mr, Hawley very well I decided to iook farther into his cane. 1 went up to the Central build ing, of which he is owner or man- ager, and asked one of his largest tenants about him. If a tenant peaks well of his landiord, that ought to be considered evidence. ‘This in what the tenant maid: “A. L, Hawley is a good man and a good landlord. He would make a good counciiman, If you can ge him to run 1 will vote for him,” If this goos much further I shall have to go up and seo Mr, Hawley. MORE BOOSTS FOR VIRTUE AND LANE George A. Virtue also came back yesterday, ‘This time {t was a fellow real estater, who meddles a good deal in politics, boosting him. And when one real estate man has good words to ny about another they should be printed. “George Virtue should not have an enemy in Seattle, and surely he has a lot of friends,” said this man. “If you could get him out he would run well and would make a high grade counelima And W. D, Lane was again recelv- ing favorable commendation. This time from a big man of the city. This man, who works more or lea with the Chamber of Commerce peo- pie, gave tt as his opinion that Lane was one of the best councilmen we have had, and expressed his confi- dence in Lane as a lawyer and @ citizen. A couple of new ones were put on the boards yesterday. One of these was R. H, Harlin, formerly an official of the coal min- ers’ union of the state. It is under- stood that the labor unions of the city are backing him to nome extent. He wan recommended by a leader among the labor people who is con- sidered politically wise. The other new name was that of Edmund Bowden, the real estate and insurance man. One who has long been interested in city affairs be- Neves that Bowden would make a most excellent councilman if he could be persuaded to run. He in- sisted that I go and seo him and try to interest him in the coming race, And just a word to the lad! Tt 1s understood that Mrs. Kathryn Miracle, who has announced her can- Gidacy for mayor, will not resign from the council. Shox gives what sho considers good and sufficient Teanons. So any of you ladies that were thinking of her chair will please keep your bonnets on. Of course, It would be no harm to try to outrun some of the men. And really that would be more fun.
