man of 22. He has been calling on me
twice a week for a year, and I am posi

bashful and has never said anything
about his love for me.
"Do you think it would be unlady

I am surprised that a girl with such
a nice old-fashioned name should ask
euch a foolishly modern question.
A girl named Mary Anne, by every
right of tradition and custom, should
be content to let romance travel I's
sweet, old-fashioned course She should
know that a love that Is forced, like a
flower that is put through the hothouse
process is never so fragrant and never
so hard' - and never so lasting.
A man who is "terribly bashful" has
much in his favor, and if Mary Anne
were as sensible as her name she
wouldn’t want him changed one whit.
He is slow, perhaps, but. being slow,
he is more sure. He may not declare
his love on first or second sight, and
may not speak or hint of it for month
after month, but at least he ha- this
rarest of all merits —he is not declaring
it to other girls.
Ona Comfort at Laaat.
If bashful with Mary Anne, he is not
flirting with others. She is spared the
great tormenting doubt of inconstancy.
If Mary Anne, in the years to come,
is ever in love with a man who isn't
bashful, and who proposes marriage
as glibly and easily as he would pro
pose an ice cream soda, she will learn
that a bashful lover is the most de
sired of all men.
We will suppose that Mary Anne
proposes marriage
She will find, instead of making a
husband of a lover, she has frightened
her lover away.
No man with a man’s blood In his
veins wants a woman to take the in
itiative in this most important of hll
steps. It Is a right he reserves aacredly
for his own, anti woe be to the girl who
usurps it.
The bashful man mav prove -o bash

now
"Bashful Man” finds much in matri
mony that is nor to be compared with
floating on a rose petal over Elysian
fields.
Every one makes this discovery, and
when "Bashful Man" makes it, it is no
disparagement to Mary Anne.

But there is this difference: She pro
posed mafriage. and therefore she is to
blame for everything In it that proves
disappointing.
"If you hadn't proposed." he will be

hadn't proposed, we would have es

"It is all your fault," he will say
again: "you asked me to marry you
I didn't aak you to marry me.”
With the caurage born of repetition
he will soon persuade himself that he
never loved her; that marriage nag the
last thought in his mind. It vi-ill he,
only a short, step from this opinion
to the belief that she deliberately
hunted him down

acquaintance with men who are not
desirable ns friends, and much less
desirable as sweethearts
It has been said, and It is proven
every day, that a father will permit
a young man to take his daughter out
with whom he would not trust his
horse.
Mothers Lax.
And mothers are Just as lax. They
know, their daughters have made a
new acquaintance Gften they do not
know how. and usually they don’t know
whom. The young mtn calls, and I*
well treated. He takes the girl out
frequently, ho calls regularly, love de
velops, and THEN, and not till then,
do the parents investigate.
The investigation leads to alarm,
but it is made too late. The mischief
has been done. The girl they taught
to abhor certain characteristics in men
has fallen in love with a man who pos
sesses all or the worst of them.
They wonder at her They marvel
that nil their years of training should
have so little effect.
They should wonder at themselves
They should marvel that parents can
be so kind.
They know the destination of a cer
tain path and saw their daughter
start on it xvfthout a single misgiving.
They welcomed the young man many
times, and their welcome and lack of
disapproval helped to win him away
in her heart.
Parents to Blame.
They know that lovs is not the
growth of human will. Therefore they
should have seen to it that their
daughter did not have opportunity to
meet, to know, to love a man of whom
they could not approve.
The blame for the tragedy of a mis
placed love rests on their shoulders.

ARE you one of the girls who wilt
on the first hot day? If you are
I pity you, because there is
nothing so depressing as knowing that
the hot wave is depriving you of all
your prettiness and every atom of en
ergy as well.
Wilting is fatal to beauty, and the
girl who wants to be pretty ought to
do every thing she can to prevent her
self from fading away like a woe
begone lily when the thermometer
goes aeroplaning around In the nine
ties
The girl who wilts in the heat usu
ally has straight hair. I know she
thinks ft’s a curse from heaven, and.
frankly. I am sorry for her, especially
if she feels that she must have curls
to be presentable. Perhaps she can
nave her hair with water or water
with a little sugar dissolved in It The
water wave is done by wilting the
hair nnd then arranging it in ringlets
and curls on the foihend and binding
a piece of ribbon or cheesecloth over
it until it Is quite dry. Don’t try to
curl any but your front hair for sum
mer; and. first of all, see If you can
not wear It in some other style which
will not require, curling This year
there are all kinds of pretty ways of
doing hair with shorj bangs and two
braided knots over th£ ears or a slight
pompadour and knot at the back
Parting the hair either at the side or
in the middle of the forehead and
looping it up with side combs is all
the fashion, and the small coronet
braids are pretty and don't require
much frizzling.
Don't Tire Your Head.
In summer time don't tire your head
with too many hairpins.
I frequently think that women
wouldn’t feel so hot if they didn't look
both warm and musty. Those short,
straggle'- hairs In the nape of the neck
make one look quite neglected and
untidy A hair net nr ribbon will
keep those short hairs from falling
and will add to the genera] neatness
Besides, a net does not take as many
hairpins if ft’s one of those quaint
old-fashioned ones, with the velvet
ribbon around the edge
1 never wear collars in summer
time. and that isn't Just because. I
don't want to ruin my neck. I’ve

and I think thev mak* one fee!
warmer than anything else. Df course

able for street wear in Paris, but
Paris doesn't enjoy a nice tropica!
American summer like ours
Another thing for the wilting, weary,
warm summer girl to remember Her
stockings White stockings are th?
very best, and if your feet hurt you :
change both stockings and shoes every !
day and go about bare footed as much 1
as you can and bathe the feet night I

Fussy Clothes.
Don't waste a bit of energy wearing

try to keep them clean But if you I

All Too Energetic.
I think we are all too energetic in
summer time, and wish that we took
siestas during the noon hours as
people do who live in cities no warmer
than New York or Chicago, but called
tropical. I suppose, because the men
wear pongee suits and there are so
many palm trees.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am in love with a young man who
shows great attention to me when we
are alone, but xvhen in the presence of
others he pays very little attention to
me. J. F. F.
Just xvhat do you expect from him
when others are around? He should be
attentive and friendly, but never loving
in the presence of others. Such out
bursts of affection in public only serve
to bring ridicule on their object.
If you mean that he is not civil to
you. or ignores you altogether, it in
dicates he is not proud of your friend
snip. In which even you can’t break of!
with him a moment too soon.
YOU ARE RIGHT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young lady 24 years old.
About a year and a. half ago. while
visiting a girl friend in a distant city, I
met a man seven years my senior. I
visited my girl friend twice since then
and each time this young man was
devoted to me. I love the young man,
but 1 don't want him to know it. He
is a chauffeur earning about SIOO a
month, with al! expenses paid, and
works al! the time. He said he would
never marry as a chauffeur, and about
two months ago he wrote me he intend
ed going in the liquor business I told
him if he did go our friendship would
be at an end. He then w rote a nice let
ter. saying he was sorry to go against
my wishes, but it was the only thing in
sight in which he could eurn mor*
money He said he couldn't marry on
his present salary

woolen suits, with high starched col
lars. and then boast of our superior
intelligence!
But there, I've left my little hot
weather girl without begging her to
cut out some of her strenuous engage
ments and rest instead, especially dur
ing the heat of the day. "Early to
rise" is one of the wisest things for
the summer girl who has household
chores to do, and "early to bed" is
more necessary in summer than m
winter, for the cold air is bracing and
Invigorating, and one does not feel the
strain of work or play as one does In
summer.
If you drink a great deal of water
between meals 1n summer time you
•will find your complexion wonderfully
improved by fall. The water shouldn't
be lee cold, but simply cold, like spring
water, and be very careful that it is
fresh and pure. The perspiration in
duced by the heat acts better’than anv
Turkish bath, and ft's a simple and
perfectly safe way of clearing the skin.
GIVE HIM UP.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 21 and am keeping company
with a man two years my senior. I
love him very dearly and know he re
ciprocates. but we have many quarrels
through his being so jealous.
I have had many young men friends,
two of whom I see quite often, as all
three of them are employed in the same
place of business. As 1 am of a very
lively disposition. I have to quiet dow-n
for his sake. 1 can’t fool or even look
at any one but him, which makes me
feel quite discontented and blue.
ROSE F.
If you love him as you say you would
give up the world for him, and find it
no sacrifice. Your, discontent.is a fore
runner qf what you would find in mar
rlag* with him. so put him out of your
heart and mind. Perhaps he is exact
ing. That is a man's nature. But the
most generous lover wouldn’t enjoy see.

Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
WITHOUT doubt every man in the
world decided when he heard
there was a Danger Age for
women that his wife had reached it and
took some pleasure in telling her so
Lysander John Appleton proved to
his own satisfaction that the Danger
Age fer women covers all the time be
tween the ages of his wife and daugh
ter and took an owl-like delight in tell
ing them so.
Even a worm of the fair sex will
turn, and Mrs. Appleton. and Daysey
Mayrfie turned simultaneously, with the
discovery that ALL TIME is the Dan
ger Age for man. and wrote their con
clusions in gold and red, had them
framed and hung in Lysander John's
room.
Now, when he dresses, when he
shaves, when he turns to look out for
a better vidw of a pretty woman who is
passing, when his eyes search wildly
for help when he is working with his
collar button —on every occasion inci
dent to a man's stay in his room—he
sees things said in red and gold on his
wall that make him squirm, and cause
him to leave the -room three inches
shorter than when he entered it.
Man’s Danger Age.
And these are the reasons:
“Every year of a male creature’s
life is the Danger Age, BECAUSE:
"The day he puts on trousers he also
puts on an air of superiority to the
sex that doesn't wear them, and this air
of superiority blinds him to his own
imperfections. Hence, he never gets
over them.
"As a youth he is so proud of himself
it is a wonder he doesn't shut himself
up in a barn and charge the people two
pins each to see him. This belief that
he is worth a price of admission never
leaves him.
"He falls in love with a girl because
of her good looks, and claims after
marriage that because she isn't a capa
ble housewife he was deceived.
"He is as popular when a young man
as the only dog in an orphan asylum,
and makes the dangerous mistake of
thinking that after he is married his
popularity will continue.
"IVhen a book agent tells him he is
an important personage h« is so
pleased with the book agent’s powers
of discrimination that he will buy any
thing offered. And every debt of in
stallment he pays is only another proof
of his conceit.
Talk Betrays Him.
"When not given a chance to talk, he
sulks, and w J hen given a chance he
soon tells his own w eakness.
"He spends so much time talking
about his ambition that he never has
time to realize it, and if it ever occurs
to him that it is really time he were
amounting to something he reflects
with great complacency that other men
older have done less, and that he isn’t
dead yet.
"His only hope lies in matrimony, for
the reason that no one ever tells a
bachelor when he is making a fool of
himself.
"If he hasn’t shown he Is a great
baby it is because he hasn't found the
right woman to cry to.
