What’s a Man
to Do?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
CONSIDERING the alarming preva
lence of a certain odious practice,
it Is a wonder some young man
has not made the following protest be
fore:
“I am a young man nineteen years
of age," writes N. K "and dearly In
love with a girl one year my Junior. I
have but one fault to find with her. and
that is she paints and powders dread
fully. When we go out we have peo
ple looking at both of us. and this an
noys me greatly. Now, what would you
advise me to do: Tell her about It, or
let It pasre?"
What COULD one artvise a fnan to
do under these circumstances ?
The girl disfigures herself. she
cheapens herself: she makes herself a
hideous duplicate of the class of women
every self-respecting woman shuns, but
if there is anything that can be done
about it, it requires greater wisdom
than I possess to point the way.
The sweetest and mildest girl In the
world will grow fiercely antagonistic
when attacked on tvhat she considers
"her rights" to dress as she pleases
Thaatic tn extreme. she will endeavor
to make over her mannerisms and
mend her ways to please one she loves,
but if he objects to the dab of powder
on her nose, she replies by spreading It
over her cheeks.
On Cheeks Instead of Lips.
He doesn’t like her lips painted, and
she answers hie arguments by tinting
her cheek*
He objects tn high heels, and her next
purchase of shoes show higher heels
than she ever attempted before.
His rrttlrlsm of the extreme, no mat
ter how kindly, no matter how just. Is
met. with a greater extreme. And what
is a man to do about it?
1 contend that, in a measure, the
men are largely to blame.
Who gets the most attention from
the men—the girl with the complexion
the Lord gave her, dressed modestly
and with no hair on her head hut that
which grows there or the girl so arti
ficial and fantastic that men turn to
stare as she passe* 1
I will not answer the question 1 will
Jet "N. K.” answer it for himself, and
other young man who are perplexed aa
he Is may also answer it.
Hag it aver occurred to ”N, K.” that
the only way to cure a girl of appear
ing with so much powder on that she
looks Tike an overfloured noodle is to
tnangfer his attention to a girl who
asks no assistance from powder can or
rouge box?
Remonstrances will have no effect so
long as devoted attentions do not cease.
Mistakes Ridicule For Flattery.
Ts she mistakes the wondering stares
of others for bold admiration, who can
blame her so inng as her lover con
tinues In hie devotion? Without doubt,
with the "admiration” of others In her
mind, she attributes his objections to
jealousy.
The feminine mind Is an Intricate
thing, and its course of reasoning is
beyond explanation, hut tn some way.
somehow, a girl can convince herself
tha.t every criticism of the man who
lores her originates 1n Jealousy
Love is a self-hypnotist, and the as
surance that one is above criticism is
one of its results.
Gtrlw who paint and powder usually
abandon this silliest xnf all customs
whan marriage brings more serious ob
ligations and cares. Girls who paint
and powder have been known to be
good, sensible girls in every other par
ticular. They have been known to be
come faithful, hard-working, economi
cal houaew-ives And some of them con
tinue this most hideous of all prac
tices till they have become old women.
But. whether or not their good qual
itiea outweigh this foolish one, this
fact remains No girl of great intelli
gence will use powder and paint to ex

the sensible girl avoids the danger line

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * * By Beatrice Fairfax
WHO WAS AT FAULT?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am sixteen and deeply in love'with
a man a year and a half my senior.
I have known him about eight
months We had a quarrel about three
months ago. I haven't spoken to him
since. I see him every day, and it al
most breaks my heart He told my girl
friend that he would like to make up
with me. BETH.
If you are to blame for the quarrel,
go to him and tell him so. Otherwise,
let conditions remain as they are until
he takes lhe first step.
Do not. T beg. let hint return as a
conqueror, but rather as a suppliant for
your favor. A girl wins nothing by lot
ting a man see that his favor makes
her happy, and stands to lose a great
deal.
HE IS UNREASONABLE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen and am going out
with a young man three years older.
This young man took me to a gathering
where we met a number of young ladies
and young men. A cousin of his asked
me to dance with him My friend, on
seeing this, would not talk to me for
the rest of the evening.

the life of the wife of a man so unrea
sonable be a happy one?
If you danced with the cousin only
once, and did not Girt with him. your

sentment overcome every gentlemanly
instinct is not the happiest kind of a

love him very much, and know my love
was reciprocated until lately, when he
has shown himself very scarce. He
makes arrangements to take tne to
places of amusement; sometimes he
keeps his word, and again he doesn't. I
then go with my other friends and find
him there. He makes no apologies.
S. E. M.
Forget him. Ignore his presence at
places of amusement, and make no more
engagements to go with him.
He shows he is tired of you; muster
all your pride, my dear, and show him
you are also tired of nlm. I am sorry
you did not reach this conclusion first.
HAVE YOU NOT DONE SO?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Every morning while on my way to

young men. We always bid each other

AL, VIDA.

I would suggest that you let your ac

PROBABLY NOT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Recently, In South Framingham, I
made the acquaintance of a very beau
tiful young lady. On my first visit she
was very agreeable to me, but soon she
began to grow cold. I am of a very re
spectable old American family, but my
hair Is dark and curly, my complexion
is very dark, and my lips are full. Do
you think that she shirks me because of
my personal appearance? J. M. C.
Men of your description ,court, win
and marry every day, so I am very sure
your appearance has nothing to do with
it. She does not love you. If you are
sure thdre is no hope for you, try to
forget her.
TELL HER WHAT YOU HAVE TOLD
ME.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am 21. and love a young lady w ho is
two years my junior. 1 know she cares
for me, but I do not know whether or
not she loves me. Financially, 1 am not
prepared to marry now. but expect to
be in two or three years when I return
from the West. Should I ask her to
wait for me or should I wait until I re
turn. and take the chances of her wait
ing and remaining true to a friendship
which, for all she knows, may never
terminate in marriage?
FN DECIDED.
It would not be just to the girl to ex
pect her to bind herself to an uncertain
hope. Toll her you love her: w hat your
prospects are. and leave the question of
an engagement to her to decide.

A Slight Error
Two tourists were traveling in Spain,
but they could not speak the native
language, and found considerable diffi
culty tn making known their wants.
Eventually they came to a wayside inn
and decided that they would partake of
roast beef with the usual trimmings.
“How shall w’e manage it?” asked
one,
"Oh, we’ll draw a picture of a bull!”
replied the other.
The waiter was handed the drawing,
and left them, apparently to execute
their order.
Then he came back, hut he had no
steaming plate of roast beef and York

two tickets for a bull fight!
Except on One Point
A shop assistant was showing some
clocks to an Irishman, who wanted to
present one to his wife on the anniver
sary of their marriage, and he had ex
hausted his entire stock except some
cuckoo clocks lying on a shelf.' The
Celt asked to see them, and the as
sistant took them down, thinking that
at last he would make a sale. After
telling Pat the price, the latter asked if
they struck the hours. Instead of an
swering directly, lhe assistant wound
the timepiece up and set the hands at a
few minutes to 12.
As the little door opened Patrick's
eyes bulged with interest, but when the
chirping ended he plainly showed his
disapproval. The man behind the coun
ter, not to be daunted, said:
"Well, how do you like it?"
Pat thought for a moment, and then
replied, earnestly:
"Faith, an’ it's all right except on one
point. It's trouble enough to remember
how to wind it without havin' to think
of feedin" the bird!"

Daysey Mayme
and Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
THERE are many symptoms of
love. No disease with a name so
long it has to be worn in loops
to keep it from dragging on the ground
has as many varied symptoms as the
sickness of love.
A very marked symptom is the desire
to visit a photographer. The girl whois
in love always wants to have her pic
ture taken.
Best Beloved may not nave expressed
any yearning for a picture, but the girl
is sure that this is due to his shyness;
that he longs to have one on his dress
ing case to be his last vision at night
and his first in morning, she never
doubts.
There are two photograph albums at
the home of Lysander John Appleton;
the one in his den containing pictures
of their poor kin. and the one in the *
parlor holding the photographs of rela
tives who are distinguished.
Os the members of the family, Daysey
Mayme visits the photographer’s oft en
est. going regularly with every new at
tack of love.
"I will have my picture taken," she
said one day last week, “for I am in
love up to my eyebrows and I know HE
wants one."
So she had her picture taken and
showed it to HIM next time he called.
Now, Best Beloved has convinced
Daysey Mayme that he loves every hair
on her head (though it would denote
infinitely greater affection if he loved
every hair In her top bureau drawer),
and naturally he was compelled to ask
for a picture, though his dressing case
is covered witht girls' pictures now.
"Oh. I couldn't think of such a thing,"
said Daysey Mayme; "it wouldn’t be
proper."
But He Coaxed Again.
A man who has as many admirers as
a good-looking clerk at a soda fountain
must have in order to keep his job isn’t
accustomed to refusals. The next time
he called he coaxed again.
"1 haven't one to spare." said Daysey
Mayme. "They were taken for my dear
relatives, and I have just enough to go
’round."
Best Beloved didn’t want one partic
ularly. His landlady had frequently
threatened if he brought another girl’s
picture to be moved when she dusted
she would raise his hoard.
But he was determined to have one,
now it had been refused him. and coax
ed so steadily the next time he called
that Daysey Mayme, with great reluc
tance. gave him one. And the next day
a picture appeared on his dresser of a
girl wearing just four pounds of hair,
and her dress cut so low in front that
if her Dear Relatives had seen it they
would have screamed.
For four days it occupied the center
of the dresser, then ft was hidden be
hind the picture of a girl who calls at
the soda fountain three times every
morning and always gets a 25-cent
drink.
For Daysey Mayme has a rival. Every
girl who loves a good-looking clerk at a
soda fountain has many rivals, or the
man couldn’t hold his job.
Many Corners in His Heart.
Best Beloved has told so many girls
hr has a corner of his heart set apart
for them that that organ must resemble
a hornet’s nest.
Woe and alas, and ah me. but there is
sorrow ahead for Daysey Mavmo!
When a girl discovers her sweetheart
is False, the world Is Dark. Indeed
“On one occasion." said Daysey May
me to her Aunt Maria, to whom she
pours out her heart as regularly as it
fills up, “T felt that I could not go on
living. While I sat wrapped in gloom,
wondering what there was in life worth
going on for. I got a whiff of the choco
late pie mother was making.
"It gave me an inspiration There
was the pie ahead to cheer me till din
ner time. And after dinner I put off
the determination to die of grief till
after breakfast next morning because
of the strawberries and cream. Then
there was a new dress. I would live, 1
decided, till that was made.
"Thon I wanted to attend the election
of officers in the Art of Making Home
Habitable club, and decided not to pine
away till after that event.
"So I put off Pining for the Cold,
Cold Tomb week after week, and finally
lost the desire.
"Rut I am sure it will be different
with this Best Beloved," said Daysey
Mavme, with a sigh.
