Dear Miss Fairfax I have called on a y oung lady for a short time and rind that 1 now love her. She has another young man calling on her and has virtu ally promised to marry him She shows me quite a bit of favor and says that she cares quite a bit for me. How do you think I could win her from the other chap, or do you think it would be useles to try? ANXIOI'S. You have a right to try. Re sure that you use only the most honorable means, and never say a disparaging word of your rival. Just leave him out of the question. If you love her. tell her so. (live her a chance to choose between you. If the decision is against you. accept it like a man. If you can't have her love, her friendship and re spect will mean a groat deal to you. DON'T DO IT. Dear M iss Fairfax : I am a young girl and deeply in love with a young man one yea my senior. We've been going to gether for ten months, occasional ly we would quarrel, but It never amounted to much For some rea son or other he has become angry. Several people have asked him the reason, but he refuses to tell. Do you think I ought to write and ask him to explain his peculiar actions ‘ PERPLEXED If you offended, apologize. But if he is sulking without reason, don't eat humble pie when it is not your turn. Just let him alone. A lover who is coaxed back never stays long. One who returns voluntarily is too ashamed of himself and 100 much afraid he will not be forgiven to ever stray again. PUT AWAY THE PAST.

Do You Know- It is stated in a volume of the census report, just issued, that if the total population of England and Wales at the last census, 36.070.402, was distributed at equal intervals over the whole sur face of the country, a distance of 76 yards would separate each individual from his nearest neighbor. In 1901 this interval was SO yards, In 1891 85 yards, in 1881 90 yards and in 1871 96 yards. In 1801 it was 153 yards.

UTA 0 SOU we W ‘H 156 happy J when we have so little money?” a girl asked me re cently, looking up from a "Hope Box” filled with dainty little bridal attire she had made herself. Every article in the box had been bought with a mind fixed on economy; every stitch had been taken with the happy, seamstress' brain busied with methods and plans for pretty effects that are obtained by outlay of labor in stead of by, outlay of money. “My dear girl," I replied, "no one is so rich as those who love and are ihved. You are showing inappreciation of love if you call yourself poor." She folded away the contents of the box in white tissue paper, putting sweet-scented pads between, and smil ing so happily to herself while doing it that I wished I had the genius of a painter. Hold Love Fast. “Hold fast to your love," I said, "and hold fast to your faith in the man who loves you. Nothing else counts." "Nothing else counts." 1 wish evert girl who scorns a love that "hast not gold, nor lands, nor other store," could realize that no Love, be it ever so poor, comes empty-handed. Fur if Love's hands contain nothing else, they hold Happiness, and what is wealth without that? I have seen girls who think that the only joy in life lies in being able to decorate one's self like a Christmas tree, turn up their little powdered noses in scorn at the thought of a poor man's love. They would sell their hearts for a ribbon. They find, when the bargain is made, that they have also sold their souls. No woman can marry a man solely for his money and remain a good wom an. She may violate no moral or so cial law, but down in her heart she vio lates every law of heaven. I have heard women argue that mar riage to riches gives the woman a broader opportunity of doing good. She has a purse that knows no bottom when appeals are made to her for char ity. A husband's wealth, they claim, gives the wife a greater influence. She FHealtk, ej / ""1 HE color of one's hair is I * an indication of the;; health of the scalp.

She is not limited by time. She never says; "I would if I could" Life has placed her where she can say: “I will.” But women do not marry wealth for the opportunity it affords for helping others. Every woman who marries for riches is obsessed with one thought, and that is to help herself. And no woman, be her heart ever s> broad, and her purse ever so deep, has helped others as much as the woman who loved a poor man and married him. and went on loving him, for She Justifies by Her Happiness Every Claim Love Makes. She keeps alive the faith of others in their fellow beings. Her happiness re stores failing hope. Her confidence In the man she loves brings renewed con fidence to all who know her. She Is an example. There never was a woman who married solely that she might have wealth who did not become a warning. We may look at Love through the cold eye of prudence: we may scorn him because his arrows are not gold tipped; we may see only the toilsome climb in the road on which he beck ons: we may do this and more, but wo can't deny that Happiness travels with him. “Yet am I rich.” Love said.
