ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * By Beatrice Fairfax I
HIS AFFLICTION NO BAR.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am nineteen and became ac
quainted wit'n a man of milly-tour,
with whom I fell in love. He is at
present employed In a large office
and gets a fair salary, but his right
hand is amputated. 1 think the
world of him.
All my friends tease me and asl;
why such a good looking girl should
fall in love with a man who is af
flicted like this.
1 am the hist born child, also
the only girl in the family, and my
parents are strongly against my
meeting him. WORRIED.
If he has lost a hand, but has a whole
heart, a clean record and « nrlght mind,
hie affliction should be no bar.
If your parents’ objections are based
solely 6ft his crippled condition, they
are neither fair nor charitable. But
make sure they have no other objec
tions before you beg for their blessing
and .approval.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl twenty-two years ,
old and for the past eight months
have been going with a mart about
seven years my senior. All during
this time he has made love to me

He also knows that 1 love him.
Right after he JXs been to see me

as ten days without calling me up.
or asking to come out. He acts as
though he Is ashamed of something.
Then when he comes back he says
that he has been thinking of me all
the time and that 1 am the only one
he loves. He has never asked me to
marry him.

Worthy of Emulation
By Beatrice Fairfax
WE are told from childhood up
that we must learn from our
elders.
Heaven help us If we . online our les
sons in life to instructions from those
whose years are more, for we will miss
the more valuable teachings of child
hood.
Notice the little children in their
play. One has a doll’s go-cart; if it
has three wheels or four makes no dif
ference to the happiness of the owner.
Another has a battered doll, another
the remnants of a china toy tea set.
and another drags a discarded starch
box. which is to be the banquet table,
They do not throw these precious be
longings away and stare sourly and
enviously at a child who has been fa
vored with more. The knowledge that
the child in the next yard has a new
doll that cries and winks, area) little
table and chairs, and a complete set of
dishes, makes their joy none the less.
They “play like" their erippled doll
has its full complement of arms and
legs. If a cup must serve also as a
cream pitcher their powers of imagina
tion see the cream pitcher on the table.
Given powers of iraag *ri a poet may
well envy, they behold with the eye of
the mind all that their little hearts de
sire and are happy.
A Valuable Lesson.
They “play like” the kitchen aprons
they drape around their waist- are
long vtlvet trains; they "play like" the
crackers they serve on their broken
dishes are ice cream and cake, and they
"play like" everything broken and old is
whole and new. and their ability to
"play like" this from morning' to night
has a lesson more valuable than we
could learn from the oldest and wisest
seer.
We must learn from childhood to
cover defects with tiie beauties of
imagination.
We must learn when compelled to
wear a suit a season too long to "play
like" it is new; we must “play like"
everything old and worn and sordid ts
beautiful and just what we likf. We
must be children again, and find the
power of happiness lies not in material
possessions but in the possession of an
optimistic imagination
■There ts no other way to be happy.
The wise man, with his brow plowed
deep with many years of thinking and
his volumes of reading weighty and
numerous, can turn to no page, can
Perfectly Safe To Wash Fine

SaUsucrman to Customer—" Yes ma’am, this batme Is
much the prettier and finer of the two. But if I were
you, I would take the percale—it’s heavier and will
stand the boiling and rubbing of the ‘wash’ better.”

point to no experience, that teaches the
lesson of happiness more plainly than
the child playing wstb a clothes pin
dressed up as a doll.
The child "plays like.” It l» a little
philosopher. If you would be happy,
you must not let the years rob you
of that spirit of philosophy, which was
your divine heritage when you came
Into this world.
You must “play like” your material
possessions are all that’ you want.
Yon mint not gaze sourly at the man
or woman who ha.- more, but, must,
turn an optimistic imagination on
what is yours.
Be Like Them.
You Tnust “play like" your disap
pointments are gratifications: you must
"play like" the scars and scratches and
defacements of possessions more pre
cious than toy sets and dolls do not
exist, and all that is given in your
hands is perfect and complete.
if you are wealthy, or if you *»•
poor; if you have little or if Vou have
nothing, you will not be happy if you
let the years rob you of this childhood
power of Imagery Nothlnggis just as
we want it. but we can make it so if
we “play .like” it is.
It is al! the philosophy of the ages

the first words that childish lips learn
to litter: "Play like." *
