Dear Miss Fairfax: I am seventeen, and about six months ago I met a gentleman about the same age. He has asked for my company. My girl friends tell me ho is no gen tleman. as he will go with a girl for two or three months and then leave her. I spoke to him about the matter. He said if he didn't care for me he would never ask me for my company. He ■say s he is Too young to ask my par ents for my hand. , ANXIOUS. It seems to me he is a trifier. The gossip of y our friends is not to be re lied on. of course, but 1 do not like his altitude. He wants to monopolize your company, but says he is too. young to think of an engagement. Then why should he rake up yoUr time, gain your love and keep other men away?

Daysev Mayme and I ler Folks gy PRANCES L. GARSIDE, IN days of old a woman used her greatest energy in mashing pota toes to the consistency of cream. In these modern times, the same ener gy is exerted in bringing down a gavel to call a meeting to order. Had Lysander John Appleton been present, he would have been reminded of the way his wife mached potatoes in the days before she. sought her emancipation by the manner in which she brought down the gavel in calling to order a meeting of the Look Oni The Bright Side society. The club is composed entirely of wo men. "We who have Man to put up with." is an oft-quoted saying of the president, "are the ones who need the bright side of life." It was an experience meeting. “I have been jilted by my sweet heart," spoke a girl in feeble tones, "but. at last I have found a bright side. His jokes were poor and old. and now that I have lost him and I am. no lon ger compelled to laugh when I don't feel like jt, and J am not kept standing on the cold steps late at night till he get- through telling what a wonderful man he is." "I would add. ' said a sister-member arising from a back seat, “that you can also enjoy spring onions." "I have been kept awake by unneces sary noises for two nights past." -aid a new member, "but at least I had no bad dreams." "I am grateful.” spoke a fiervous looking woman, "that the automobile doesn't make as much noise in propor tion to its size as the roller skate " "Hear, hear!" shouted a chorus of nervous women in loud approval. "When I went to live with my mar ried sister.' said a spinster us uncer tain years. "I found her baby a grea : trial But I rejoice to say that I am finding the bright side. When I want a pin I no longer have to look all over the house for one. I go to the baby and always find it sticking one in its mouth."

I “that in seasons when mosquitoes are. ! bad, a baby in the room is invalu able. It attracts all of them." A woman- arose, dressed in deep black. There was not a ray of hope in her face. "My husband,died a week ago." she said, "and I have tried ever since to find a bright side m my bereavement, but. alas. I can't!" In an instant 50 women were on their feet, all gesticulating and talking at once, ime screamed this, and another screamed that. Piesident Appleton rapped with enough energy to mash a ’ bushel of potatws before order was restored. "I will ask the members." she said, "to get H'ir bereaved sister’s address and send her a few Fright Sides. As for myself, I have just one thought for our weeping sister to take home with her. It is this: At least you know now where your husband is nights!" The applau;was deafening A woman arose who had lost both arms in a railroad accident. "Will yoii ' look at me," she said, "and dare tell me there is a bright side to my condition?’ l The president arose with an air of gentle reproof. "Have you been grateful," she said, "for the two good legs left you for run ning to bargain sales and fires" ' ■ My reminder to our armless sister," i she continued, addressing the audience. "leads me to tell of a time when I looked on the bright side with a spirit . that was undaunted. "ti e live in a little country town, and the fire-fighting service was inade , quate. "One bitter night a fire destroyed our home, and all that was in if. and my husband and the children and I just es caped with our lives. "'What a splendid thing it is,’ I said to my husband as v' • itched the flames, ‘to have witm ssed a fire that we didn't have to run our legs off to get • there before the fire department put. it out!' “The meeting." she added with that exultant feeling that only th'*" who are uplifted know-, “is adjourned."
