Any one who wants to get on tn life should cultivate this habit of looking at the great show that goes on about us forever an ever; of looking at it hard, seeing it clearly, and then getting from i it all Its particular meaning. It is a great habit, and a great help, for it teaches us to draw conclusions from what we see. Rut we should see much i and draw f*w conclusions until we are; sure of drawing approximately the right ones. It is Impossible to overestimate the value of the life about us. as a means of education. We look down at our fee’ too much, and not enough about us and above us, The telescope man in Union Square will never get rich, even though he is doing business in a city of some mil lions of people Why’ Because few of us know- what a privilege it is to look up above our heads and see what is there. For a ten-cent piece you can see the rings of Saturn and its moons, or the raters and mountains of the moon. It is true that Saturn itself looks about as big as a pea. and its eight moons like pinheads. But it is a wonderful sight, n'-vertheless. one never to be forgot ten one that will brace up the mind in man.’ an odd moment of foolishness or si rrow . Anyone who is out after moving pic tures should not miss this one. You would be surprised to know what can be seen in the heavens, even with an opera glass The moon through an opera. glass. Is such a glorious sight that you will never again think of It as t cause of good luck or bad luck, ac- iding as you happen to see it. 11. The fact Is. we do not see what is • near us. A student of Professor Agas siz of Harvard tells us that when he went to Cambridge to study with that great, scientist his first task was to look at a dead fish and report what ho saw. Professor Agassiz left him and cam’ back in an hour The young man han dled lhe dead fish as any one would who thinks he sees everything in about one minute. He reported and was In formed that he had not eren made a beginning Agassiz gave him two hours for the next report. The fish was becoming more and more hateful to the young man Suddenly, however, he thought he would begin and draw It on paper. Then, he said, he really began to see it Agassiz came back after a while, and this time encouraged him a little. ' But you have missed the most impor tant thing. Look again." And so it went on hour after hour, ilv. after day. until finally the young man actually began to see what he was looking at. He afterward said that one lesson made a man and an oh server of him It convinced him that HE COULD N'hT PEE THE THINGS BEFORE HIS OWN FYES Agassiz taught him that fact, and con' freed him of it. Few people have the ability to state things exactly as they are. They do not see them as they are. and. natural ly. an> report they make must be wrong, or partly wrong, which is just as bad. Any one who can look and see what he looks at and tell the facts and noth ing but the facts to some one else, has learned the one great lesson of getting on. So the moving picture show of life about us is a great opportunity for training the mind and getting it on a business basis for facts and exact ness.

Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 am 23 and have been keeping com pany with a young gentleman two years my senior, "ho has been paying considerable attention to me and has proposed marriage This gentleman was called to a different part of the country on business, at which place he has been stationed permanent, and in our cor respondence there was a misunder standing which caused considerable feeling. He asked for the return of all his correspondence, which I refused on th° grounds that 1 thought there would be a little reconciliation, but be has no* written nor have I heard from him since. . E. W. Return his letters, asking that he return yours. If you were in the wrong in th- misunderstanding a frank, friendly note to that effect will not be out of place, and I am sure will no’ be misunderstood Rut don’t let it express any love or anxiety. LET THIS END IT, Dear Miss Fairfax: lam seventeen and have been keep ing company for the past year with a man one year my senior. For the first six months everything glided along nmbothlv. and for the past six months we have been arguing constantly. Now he is angry and we have parted, and for the last two weeks I have not heard from him. I love him very much and he told me the same many times, but of late he has become very cold and does not seem tn care anv more for me. E. H. F. r.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I was keeping company with a young fellow whom 1 love very dearly. About six months ago w ® quarreled and part ed. As I love him very dearly I can not forget him.

Don’t you think we ought to get married, as I live in a lonely iown and Would like to get married this June" Don’t you think a girl has as mueh right to set the date as the fellow? I am afraid he takes other girls tn theaters, and I think if he loved me as he says he does he would not go with others. H» is tell ing me he would like to save a little more money; but I think that tve can save more if we get married. VIOLET It is the girl’s privilege to set th» date when the man wants to marry, but when he favors a delay. as in your case, such action on h“r part makes her appear overly anxious. There is no doubt you could save more, especially if h° is spending money on other girls, but no argument to that effect can convince him. Men are suejj stubborn creatures a better argument would be your absolute indifference If he knows you want to marry he will not be anxious to name the date. FOR MANY REASONS. NO. Dear Miss Fairfax.
