Great idea, splendid plan—no more criminals, no more “weak lings." no more degenerates, no more drunkards, no more fools, no more villains. everybody good, everybody clevei everybody sensi ble, cvmybody prosperous, every body happy, everybody sane, every body "normal." "Be good," says Dr. Andrews and her followers. "Not because it is right to be good, but because you had the right kind of a grand father. Be kind, not because you are happier when ydu are kind, not because you wish to make others happier, too, but because you had a kindly grandmother, and th it’s why your grandfather married her, not for her sake, and his own, but for yours. Wasn't It nice of him" What you are is nothing, but what your grandfather was is the main thing. Look up his record and see what you've got to be willy nilly. What! The son of the village drunkard in your town is the presi dent of the temperance society says his father’s example started him on the right path. Tut, tut, that’s just an accident- don’t oven remember it. it isn’t scientific to do that. What kind of a woman was your grandmother? A giddy thing with an eye for tine feathers and not an idea of economy In the world? Take off that sober frock, throw away your daily account book— you’ve got to be what your grand mother was, it’s scientific. Courage, will, principle, the right kind of home training are nothing, not a thing In the world to do with you: it's grandma and grandpa that do it ail. That Is the rule with horses and dogs, so, of course, It must be the rule with human be ings. too. There Is no difference between the capacity of a man to rise above his natural inclinations and a monkey's, any authority on heredity will tell you that or imply it anyhow. Where do all our great geniuses come from? That’s a little confus ing. I’ll admit. Caesar, Confucius; Galileo. Na poleon. Mahomet. St. Paul, not one of them “normal,” not one of them in good health, not one of them the right kind of folks, and their parentage—oh. that won’t bear In vestigating at all.

Something wrong with every one of them, not one of them bred right, not a single one, from a scientific point of view. Oh, yes; 1 suppose some littie cut and dried professor in some little cut and dried school is worth more to the world than Napoleon with his record of bloodshed, and vet Leonardo DaVinci, Michael An gelo, Raphael, Abraham Lincoln, Oliver Cromwell- who were the fa thers of this brood of giants? "Selected" parents, scientifically chosen husbands, altruistically mated women of perfect physique and wondrous moral fiber? Be careful, Professor, you are go ing to step off into deep water be fore you get much farther from the safe and sane shore with the books and the theories and the teachings. "Sentiment has no place in mar riage," says Dr. Andrews. "Not the selfish sentiment we call love these days, a higher, holier ideal will take its place, and when it does we shall have the foundations of a perfect race." How encouraging, how uplifting, how spiritual! Wouldn't you love the kind of woman who would pick out a man to marry, not because she loved him and couldn’t help it and would rather die than live without him, but because she con sidered the future of the race? Fine race any future would have that sprang from such a heart and such a soul and such a body as that! And once again, dear Dr, An- . draws, tell us prithee, why do you consider your grandson so much worthier of consideration than yourself, or your own son? Why Is it nobler to be good tomorrw than It is to be good today? Who are posterity that I should love them so much better than I love the present generation? Why should 1 go without eating to save something for a possible grandson who may be too "scientific" to have any sort of appetite at all? And wouldn’t it be a Joke, Dr. Andrews, If we should find out some day that there really Is a good deal of common sense about the old law of selection after all?

I have been told by many that 1 was in the wrong, and I am begin ning to believe it. 1 heard that In would be glad to hear from me. A. B. Love is too precious a possession to be treated as you have treated yours. If you were in the w roirg, apologize, and when yon have made up, see to it that you do not quarrel again. But don't bo too contrite in your apology. He may get the idea that you w<the only one to blame. DON'T WRITE AGAIN.

Dear Miss Fairs tx: For the last six months I have been going with a young man who ! know loves me. We go to night school and he calls for me ami takes me home. The last two nights he has called for me and while hulking to school has not Spoken to me except to say good-night. 1 asked him if I offended him. and he said no. Don’t you think he ought to apologize? K F. The test of true friendship is silence, my dear girl. If he is quiet, it may in dicate that he is thoroughly satisfied to be with you, and sees no reason for try ing to entertain you. That is an effort he must make w hen with girls he likes less. Don’t iind fault with him about it. If there is an explanation, it will be forthcoming Ip. the meantime be grate ful that he doesn't talk all the time. YOU WERE IN THE WRONG. Deal Miss Fairfax: I am Is years of age and have been keping company with a young man a year, ami it is his custom to call on A Spelling Mistake A school concert, of all things' Four little girls were dressed to represent the word "star." and ealeh had one letter of that word pinned on to her snowy w hite dress. Jdaeh letter began the verse of a to-skiing little song. "Now. my dears." -aid the mistress, "form yourselves in position, and wait until the curtain goes up." The little girls did as they were told, and while the piano played the a< ioni paniment the curtain went up. Instead of applause to greet the little girls, howls from the audience met them. "Bats’" was the word they spelt, not "star.” A Big Difference The law of the land had spoken, and i the verdict was SI,OOO damages. "Dne thousand dollars." muttered the : senior partner in the legal firm who i bad managed the plaintiffs' case. "Not | so bad "I think it jolly good!" slid the jun ior partner. “How much shall we give our client "H'm. Say fifty dollars." said th” senior thoughtfully "No; stop a min ut'd" "Well?"

He re cently asked tne it 1 would mind if lie went to a party on Sunday night. As lie has never missed a Sunday night. 1 got angry and told him he need not call on me any mole, and he said it is up to me to let him know when to let him call. ANXIOUS. You were a little tyrannical. I think when he asked you for permission to miss a Sunday evening with you. he showed you a consideration all men do not show, and which you failed to appreciate. Ask him to call again, and the next time he makes such a request, grant it gladly. I am sure more indif ference on your part will do more to ward keeping him than your present attitude. FIRST FIND THE OBJECTIONS. Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 am a young man of 21 and am in love with a girl of 18. We both love each other dearly, but her parents ob ject to he going with me. How can I make it up with her parents? DISTRESSED. Unless you know of what they par ticularly object, you can not "make i 1 up" with them. In every difficulty in life there i- only one thing to do: Go to headquarters. Go to her parents and i tell them openly and honestly of you!

LYSANDER JOHN" APPLETON'S reflection concerning the Joy of Being Adam have convinced him that a great injustice has been done that well known man. With a desire to put him right be fore posterity, and to make all the amends that can be made at this late day. he has revised a certain little in cident in the Bible. "It is time,” he said, "that some one came to the defense of Adam. And by ‘Adam’ I mean all of my poor down trodden and mis-epresented sex.” With this noble ambition in mind, he has rewritten the third chapter of Genesis thusly: And Eve, being tempted, did eat of the apple. And, having eaten, she knew that she had sinned. “I will not be the only sinner," she said. "1 Will Get Adam Into It. Too." "Take a bite,” she said. "It is good." “No, Eve," he replied with Dignity and Firmness. "It would be Wrong, and I Can’t Do Wrong." “But You Must Eat With Me,” she insisted. With a Look of Rebuke he Would Have Turned Away, but she (’aught him Around the Neck, and cajoled him witli Loving Kisses. o?<3 A Fickle Man c& By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. * W. D. writes: AA "Some time ago two sisters, whom I will call A and B. be came acquainted with a very nice young man. He takes both of them out. individually and together, ufid as A ami B have confided in each other, they have found that when he is with A he will tell her how much more beautiful she is than B, and make oth er flattering remarks, and when he is with B lie tells her how much more beautiful she is than A. and uses the exact phrases of flattery. "What would you do, as he i- con sidered a very dear friend of the fam ily?" I would remember that there are otiier letters in the alphabet, and that they spell F-i-c-k-l-e, and these are also more letters, and they spell T-r-o-u-b-l-e. Then I would refuse to let a com* pliment the young man pays sink in I would regard his compliments as 1 would the word of a man of whom if is said: "And the truth is not it: him." I would pay no more heed to his praise than to the wind that blew yes terday. And it i found that I could not avoid remembering what he says, and retaining it. for flattery has the clinging qualities of a Canadian this tle, I would give him no more of my company than I could possibly heir. He is an idler; he is foolish, he is silly, and if he persists in his methods of deception, he will in time be classed among the unscrupulous, if nut there now.

MATTHEWS, District Passenger Agent C Pryor St.. Atlanta, Ga. But Adam was Firm, and Resisted her Blandishments, and Would Not Eat of the Apple. For he Was a Law-abidding man, and Loved the Right more than he Loved Her who was his Wife. Then her Sweet Coaxings turned, to Angry Threats, and still, Firm as a Rock, he refused. Then Eve, being Stronger than Adam, and made Still Stronger by her anger at his resistance, Threw Him to the Ground. Holding him Prostrate with ONE hand, she forced his jaws apart with the other, and Pounded a piece of the Forbidden Fruit into ins Throat. But Adam was still True and Firm.

"And ever since that day, up to the present moment," said Lysander John, "women have been cramming things down the throats of the men that they don't want. "They may bo Firm and Noble, like Adam, but no Adam is a match for Eve.

If he simply told A she is a beautiful girl, and told B she Is a beautiful girl, It would be had enough, for if A and B are beautiful girls, there are many things of greater importance tor them to know. Such compliments on his part might have a motive, but they- would be based on truth. To tell A she is more beau tiful than B and to tell B she is more beautiful than A stamps this "friend of the family" as anything but what such a friend should be. A and B, because of a sisterly confi dence. know where HE is. Let them show him by a disregard of his flatter ing untruth what THEY are. And they, I hope, are too sensible, too level-headed and too wise to care for the association of any man who has such a degraded opinion of a woman's intelligence that lie hopes to win her by flattery, based on truth, or other wise. In thi- connection, let me express my pleasure that A and B give each other sisterly- confidence. It has perhaps saved them from dan ger here, it will always safeguard them. It is the best potection a girl can have -to give her sister ail her confi dence. I have known it to prove of greater protection than a confidence placed in a mother, for the reason that mothers sometimes let the burden of their experiences and years blind them to the need of the young for a confi dante. Tliey have learned restraint, and the lesson makes them impatient yyith one who bubbles over. A and B, and all other girls who have j sisters whom they love, and whose in fluence is for good, are to be congratu lated. I <
