UNIVERSITY SCHOOL FOR BOYS ’.B a regular school where boys are taught and not just
compelled to attend c lasses. A school fashioned after the old style system of tutoring where in
dividual instruction is given each student , where the finer attributes of a gentleman, not taught
by books, are inculcated; where a sound, healthy Ixxiy is developed coincident with a broad,
quick mind.
A school where boys are transformed into men equipped, mentally and physically to take up
1 Life’s duties or given a firm foundation on which to build their education in the higher institu
| tions of learning. This is done by limiting the students to 96; one instructor for every ten boys.
More than Twenty percent, of the student body, each year, are brothers of former students.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * By Beatrice Fairfax I
HAVE YOU NO FAITH?
Dear Miss Fairfax;
I have known a young man for
the past ten months and I love him
dearly.
One night his friend escorted me
home and he told me his friend was
trying to keep me on the string. I
told my friend about this and he
said it was a falsehood.
M. D. T. a.
It means just this, my dear: If you
entertain such a poor opinion of your
first friend's intentions that any one
can turn you against him. then your
heart is not badly involved.
If you love him, you believe in him.
It seems to me you certainly owe him
some faith.
REFUSE HIM. AND STICK TO IT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am eighteen and am corre
sponding with a man of thirty-two.
About two months ago he came to
see me, after not seeing me for two
or three years. He proposed to me
the first time and I, refused. He
didn't take any heed, but came a
second time with an engagement
ring Since then he came many
times, bringing various gifts. Now.
I really don’t know what to do. as
he does not pay any attention to
my refusals. He lives out of town
and earns a nice living. My par
ents leave the matter in my hands
after giving him their consent to
marrv me. He is an’uncle of mine.
A WORRIED GIRL.
Your course is plain. Refuse him
and stick to it. These are not the
days when a girl must marry against

DON'T ACT IN HASTE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

who is eight years my senior. Aft

four years I found him out walking
with another young lady whom 1
very much dislike, as I have heard
several remarks about her charac

do you think it would be proper to
mention this matter to him or to

SHE IS A SENSIBLE GIRL.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am in love with a girl two years
my senior and have kept company
with her for the last year and a
half. Up to the present time I
have found her to be a. very good
friend,, yet I suspect she does not
love me.
I have treated her as the best of
lovers treat their dear ones, yet T
do not see why the love 1 have for
het is not reciprocated.
When leaving her after a night's
enjoyment, she has a very peculiar
way of bidding me good-night. As
she has several other fellow ac
quaintances. 1 don't think they have
any serious intentions with her ai
all. Even at that. 1 see her more
often than these other fellows. In

If she did not care for you she w ould

There is encouragement for you in that
1 am of the opinion that in refrain
ing from showing love for you she is
a particularly sensible young woman.
It will be soon enough for her to show
her love when you have told her of
yours. Don't expect it a moment
sooner.

AN ARGUMENT THAT APPEALED.
Mrs, lysander john ap-
PLETON, in her capacity os
First Standard Bearer for the
Equal Suffrage Party, never loses an
opportunity to make an appeal for the
cause of Equality and Justice.
She sprinkles argument with her sea
soning of meats and potatoes in her
kitchen; she serves arguments with
greetings in her parlor, and she py.eses
them over the counter to the butcher
and the baker.
She has found recently to her dis
tress. that members of the Home Mis
sionary society of her church are very
lukewarm on the question of suffrage.
This great lack of progression has ap
pealed to her as strongly as the lack
of funds to keep the church going
