He is to blame He should be the first to admit his fault If you go to him now and b“g par don. you will fiml yourself going again and often He will begin to exact con trition from you for all of his wrong doing. My dear, it may hurt to give him up. It may hurt worse to become friends (gain on a basis so unfair to c ourself.

Dear Miss Fairfax Some time ago I received a letter from a man whom I have never seen or heard of. living in another city He writes that he wishes to meet me personally, and will call when ever I suggest. He says he can give no reason for attempting to write ex cept to refer to some prehistoric facts, and feels he has committed no crime, in writing, as nothing ventured, noth ing gained Shall 1 see him? ANXIOUS X V Z. Burn the letter and forget that you ever received it If he is sincere in his desire to know you. he will find a more honorable method of meeting you.

I Ji KrO* ■ v V A SERIOUS RIVAL. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am nineteen, and in love with a girl one year my junior. We met over a year ago and became close friends. About six months ago she met another fellow, whom she seemed to like very much, and as he had an automobile he used to visit her regularly, often tak ing her to dances where sometimes I met her. and though she treated me ver.' nicely, there is something about her manner that puzzles me. How can I find out the reason for this and if she still cares for me? E. O. If a rival has an automobile, that makes him very formidable, especially if the girl cares for you in only a half hearted way. The only way to learn the real state of her feelings is to go to her and ask her. There is nothing that equals a definite understanding in a situation like yours. Our Diamonds Are Guaranteed * As Represented It is difficult to tell the difference between a good dia mond and a pretty good diamond. To make the distinction calls for knowlege and experience. If you have this knowl edge and experience, you • an buy diamonds anywhere—other wise. it is far safer to purchase from a jeweler with a repu tation and a comprehensive diamond stock. The many years we have been in the diamond busirfess we believe is sufficient proof of the honest and fair, square meth ods we have employed.

Paris has accepted the pannier, and it i,s being tried over here with some success, but I should not advise it for people with limited incomes, for ft is certain that before autumn the present pannier will undergo all kinds of trans formations. Undoubtedly we shall have frocks of two materials, with the petti coat of one kind of goods and overdress and train of another. In the meantime more conservative people are building their frocks mot on the old lines, with a hieh waist and a tunic or apron of lace or the material of which the waist is made, and whi< h is often of a contrasting shade to the skirt. On» of the photographs illustrated here show s a w aist of blur satin tucKe.i across, with a yoke of ecru ihiffon and a drapery of the inevitable lace over the sleeves. The beautiful evening frock illustrat ed is a creation -by Burenet. the sell known French dressmake . who is .’ woman of fashion, as so mtn, of the'.’ are. This frock is of the cheeriest an 1 lightest brocade in two «'•?.'<« o' - low Broodes sound as if-they w , heavy materials, but now adays they a < anything but that. The sleeves and bodice of this frock are of th*' palest pink chiffon, with a huge sort of sunburst, th- rays ema nating from the frorit of the wa st. an ’ fashioned of tiny crystals. From "b. back of tit- :ght shou.iler th', •f> •. ■s .. drapery of violet chiffon, only about half ? yy : n •• i le. which goes to th-' ’ ft side of the gown and falls to the hem. The color is not exactly violet; st .* more a smoke with violet shades, and. like the brocade, is one of tho.-e mate rials especially dyed for this house. Almost eve v dress must have its lit tle coat this summer, and one of these little jackets of silk taffeta or silk cov ered with voile is one of the most serv iceable investments a woman can make. Another good bargain is a lace tunic, which ’s sold every where and brings last year's fashions up to this year’s requirement.

Now men are wearing several bracelets. In the res taurant of a fashionable hotel may be seen daily a Russian grand duke who wears several jeweled bracelets on his wrist. Many men have gold and silver charms on their bracelets. Daysey Mayme and Her Folks BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE, * IT is quite the fashion to abuse the men, a fashion that has lasted longer than hobble skirts, and that will prevail long after the new pannier overskirts are forgotten. Women meet at afternoon teas and abuse the men who are downtown earn ing the living. Later- in the evening they gather in halls and abuse the men, leaving the babies at Home with the men while they do it. A favorite failing for abuse is the charge made against the men that they urous around a 1 night. Mrs. Lysan der John Appleton makes tins particu masculine weakness her hobby, giv ing the impres-ion that Lysander John is at that ve y moment ft ivollng up and down the Great White Way.

The minutes igged to a half hour, and she sent Pt'sei Mayme to find him. She found him at the corner, gazing vi: 1-eyed and awe-stricken at the sky. She pulled at his arm. "Come home,” she said: 'mother is worried about you. And why are you standing here looking like that, anyhow?” He was speechless. His only reply " as to point at a great White ball In the heavens. He tried to speak, but couldn’t He gasped! he stammered. He was plainly too frightened to have control of his senses. "The wor-r-l-l-d is coming to an end." he said at last, “and there Is the w arning." Daysey Mayme looked, but saw noth ing unusual in the heavens. Then she coaxed and begged him to come home, and finally exercised the royal prerog ative of a daughter and .scolded. This, at last, was more familiar. Her imperative tones penetrated to the par alyzed brain cells of her father, and he turned and meekly submitted to be led. looking with frightened eyes over his shoulder as he walked, as if he feared the great white ball in the heavens J ESTABLISHED 1839 I Atfj Capital $1,000,000 rofl I I B H B / / t j\\ J I <, i ®wl\ 1 f" * | ■ xjk J|j|i I i WM s ./ J|g&||l 11 Bls b Sk nS WM.

"Wh-what is it?” he managed to stammer as they reached the door, darting a last fearful look at the sky. What It Was. “What is what?” she said with the eternal daughterly impatience. He pointed at it. "Why, that." she said w:ith surprise and indignation at his ignorance, "is the MOON!” Note by the historian of the Appleton family, and who wishes to represent •Lysander John to future generations as he really is. The unfortunate man had not been out at night since he courted his wife, and, therefore, hadn't seen the moon in 30 years. Little won der that he forgot its existence. There is also little doubt that many of his masculine contemporaries, who are leading the lives of the average well behaved married man. are just as igno rant. There may also be a few women w ho have their arms full of babies who see little of the moon, but they get more opportunities than their hus-, bands. A woman usually looks out the window to see what kind of night it is when she gets up to give cough medi cine to the baby. This opportunity does not come within the range of man s opportunities. When Ben Scored Long after the victories of Washing ton over the French and the English had made his name familiar to all Eu rope. Benjamin Franklin was a guest at a dinner given in honor of the French and English ambassadors. The ambassador from England arose and dranje a toast to his native land; “To England—the sun whose bright beams enlighten and fructify the remotest corners of the earth." The French ambassador, filled with his own national pride, but too polite to dispute the previous toast, offered the following: "To France —the moon whose mild, steady, .and cheering rays are the delight of all nations, consol ing them in dankness and making their dreariness beautiful." Then rose "Old Ben Franklin.” and said in his slow but dignified way: "To George Washington—the Joshua who commanded the sun and the moon to stand still, and they obeyed him."
