What’s a Man
to Do?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
CONSIDERING th" -alarming priva- ■
lence of a certain odious pra< 'ice.
it is a wonder some young man .
has not made the following protest lie- ,
for.
■| am a young man nineteen years I
of age. writes N. K. ami doa.-ly in’

have but one fault to find with her. and (
that is sin- paints and powders dread
fully. When we go out we have peo
ple looking at both of us. and this an
noys m* greatly. Now, what would you i
advise me to do: Tell her about it. <>i R
let it pass'."' |
What (’OI’LD ~n> aiivig" a man to,
do under these circumstances?
Tiie girl disfigures herself. she |
cheapens herself; she makes herself |
hideous duplicate of the class of women I
every self-respecting woman shuns, but j
if there is anything that can be don>-
about it. it requires greater wisdom
than I possess to point the way.
The sweetest ami mildest girl in the
world will grow fiercely antagonistic
when attacked on what she considers
■ her rights” to dress as she pleases.
Plastic to extreme, she will endeavor
to make over her mannerisms and
mend her ways to please one she loves,
hut 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 his arguments by Mnting
her cheeks.
He objects to high heels, and her next
purchase of shoes show higher heels
than she ever attempted before
His criticism of the extreme, no mai
ler how kindly, no matter how .lust, is
met with a greater extreme And what
Is a nran 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 gavi her. dressed modestly
and with no hair on her head but that
which grows there or the girl so arti
ficial and fantastic that men turn to
stare as she passes '
I will not answer the question I will
let "N. K " answer it for himself, and
other young men who arc perplexed as
he is may also answer It
Has it ever occurred to N K." that
the only way to cure a girl of appear
ing with so much powder on that she

transfer his attention to a girl who |

Remonstrances will have no effect so
long as devoted attentions tlo not cea.-w
Mistakes Ridicule For Flattery.
If she mistakes the wondering stares
of others for hold admiration, who can
bi,tine her so long as In i lovei con
tinues tn his devotion " Without doubt,
with the "admiration” of others In her
mind, sir attributes hi.® obi-i-tinns to
,iea lousy.
Tin feminine mind is an intricate
thing, anil its course of reasoning is .
beyond explanation, hut in some way,
somehow, a girl tan convince Ih-rself
that every criticism of the man who 1
loves her originates tn jealousy .
Love is a self-hypnotist, and the as
surance that one is above criticism Is
one of its result-.
Girls who paint and powder usually
abandon this silliest of all customs
when marriage brings more si tious ob
ligations and cares. Girls who paint
and powder havi been known to be
good, senstbi. girls in every othet par
ticular. They have been known to b. -
come faithful, hard-working, economi
cal housewives. 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
ities outweigh this foolish om this
fait remains. No girl of great intelli
gence will use powder and paint to ex
cess. When "just a little" becomes "ex- '
cess" Is so difficult to determine that
the sensible girl avoids the danger line
by using none at all.
"N. K." has my sympathy So has
every man who loves a girl so blind to
good taste Bm the remedy Iles in his
own hands. If this girl loves her pow
der and paint more than sin- loves him.
he has a rival it would be a waste of
time, energy and opportunity to over
come.
There are plenty "if girls who ir. not
addicted to this vice show th. n an
appreciation of theii good sense w nich
many of them hnv. fat fail. .I to rc

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * By Beatrice Fairfax II
WHO WAS AT FAULT?
Drat 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 sec him every day. and it al
most breaks my heart. He told my girl
fiiend 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
lie takes the first step.
Do not, 1 beg, let him return as a
conqueror, but rather as a suppliant for
your favor. A girl wins nothing by let
ting a man see that his favor makes
her happy, and stands to lose a great
deal.
HE IS UNREASONABLE.
Deal Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen and am going out
with ,i young man three years older.
This young man took mo to a gathering
vvheYe 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 iest of the evening.
PERPLEXED.
Ask yourself this question: Would
the life of the w ife of a man so unrea
sonable lie a happy one?
If you danced with the cousin only
> once, and did not flirt with him. your
i escort showed himself very ill-man-
I nered. A man who lets his petty re
sentment overcome every gentlemanly
Instinct is not the happiest kind of a
man to be with. Think this over se
riously before you let the friendship he
come more serious.

A Slight Error
Two tourists were traveling in Spain,
but they could not speak the native
language, and found considerable diffi
culty in 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 we 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, but ho had no
steaming plate of roast beef and York
shire. Instead, he calmly handed them
two tickets fora bull tight!
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 lie had ex
hausted his entire stock except some
cuckoo clocks lying on a shelf. The
Colt asked to see them, and the as
sistant took them down, thinking that
at last lie would make a sale. After
telling Pat the price, the latter asked if
they struck the hours. Instead of an
swering directly, the 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 ttiiliout havin’ to think
of feedin’ the bird!"

Daysey Mayme
and Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
rqrw HERE are many symptoms of
? love. (1 isense with n name so
long it has to be wojn in loops
to keep ir Hom dragging on the ground
has as many varied symptoms as the
sickness of love.
A ver.v marked symptom is the desire
to visit a photographer. The girl who is
in love always wants to have her pic
ture taken.
Rest Beloved may not nave expressed
any yearning for a picture, hut the girl
is sure that this is due to his shyness;
that he Jongs to have one on his dress
iing case to be his last vision at night
land 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 often
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 denoj.-
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."
sdid Daysey Mayme; “it wouldn’t be
proper.”
. But He Coaxed Again.
A man who has as manv 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 lie coaxed again.
"I 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 board.
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,
an,] 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 it was hidden be
hind the picture of a. girl who calls at
the soda fountain three times every r
morning and always gets a 25-cent
drink.
For Daysey Mayme has a. rival; Every
girl who loves a good-looking clerk at
soda fountain lias many rivals, or the
man couldn't hold his job.
Many Corners in His Heart, 4
Best Beloved has told so many girls
lie 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 Mayme!
W hen 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, I 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
tb"" determination to die of grief till
nfter breakfast next morning because
of the straw-berries and cream. Then
there was a now dress. I would live I
decided, till that was made.
“Then 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 Fining for the Cold,
• 'old Tomb week after week, and finally
lost the desire.
“But I am sure it will bo different
with this Best Beloved," said Daysey
Mayme, with a sigh.
