ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * By Beatrice Fairfax I I HIS AFFLICTION NO BAR. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am nineteen and became ac quainted with a man of thirty-four, with whom I fell in love. He is at ptesent employed in a large office and gets a fair salary, but his right hand is amputated. I think the world of him.

WORRIED. If he has lost a hand, but has a whole i heart, a clean record and n Bright mind, his affliction should be no bar. If your parents' objections are based solely on 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. MADE YOUR OWN DIAGNOSIS.

All that a "buck” or a "squaw'” has to do when either wants a separation is to tender to the other party the sum of $35. That is all that is necessary as evidence of dissatisfaction, and the tender is rarely refused. Why the offer is exactly that amount can not be learned. It is one of the unexplained and unwritten laws cf the tribe. The death has Just occurred at Red ding.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am infatuated with a young lady. One evening I invited her to go to a place of amusement with me and she refused. I decided to go alone, and when I arrived she was there with another gentleman. I think she loves me very much. In fact. I know she does, as a cousin of mine who lives next door to her toid me so. But every time I ask her to go out with me she refuses, and if any other fellow asks her she goes with him. GERALD M. Your good sense should tell you your cousin is no authority. The girl does not care for you! Begin your siege to her heart with that in mind. If she continues to refuse your at -1 tentions withdraw them for a while That may awaken her interest in you. AND THEN. WHAT? Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 am a young man of 19 and deep ly in love with a young lady who is six years my senior. When wt are together she seems very affec tionate. but I have reasons to be lieve she cares for others. When I question her she seems grieved and denies the charge. We also differ ; in religious matters. I am afraid if 1 give In now I will nlwavs have to. K E. L. You do not believe her word, and happiness is never founded on a doubt. You are afraid "if you give in now you will always have to." If you loved her as a man should love a woman, such a fear would never enter your mind. The man who "gives in” to his > wife is the man who, nine times out of , ten. saves money, prospers, achieves ambition and gets somewhere. I You ire not in love; you think you ■ . are. But there Is a difference. TOO YOUNG TO KNOW. Dear Miss Fairfax: Don't you think a girl of set ’ < nteen. with a knowledge of good sense, is quite old enough to re- > reive the attentions of young gen tlemen? GERALDINE. i Many girls have been wooed and won at seventeen, and life-long happi ness resulted. But many, many more have made the tragic discovery that their Judgment at seventeen was not as mature as they f belleVed Geraldine is very young—too young to act against the advice of her pa- I rents. Her wisdom may be beyond dis | pule, but the experience of her parents is of greater worth. For till Geraldine's years of seventeen, I would abbreviate the wisdom of i|q ages to two words; G«» blow Worthy of Emulation By Beatrice Fairfax WE are told from childhood up that we must learn from our elders. Heaven help us if we confine 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 hapniness 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 sotirly and enviously at a child who has been fa vored witii more. The knowledge that the child in the next yard has a new doll that cries and winks, a real little table and chairs, and a complete set of dishes, makes their joy none the less. They “play like” their crippled 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 imagery 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. I They "play like" the kitchen aprons they drape around their waists are long velvet 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 lias a lesson more valuable than we could learn from the oldest and wisest seer. We must learn from childhood tn cover defects with the beauties of imagination. We must learn when compelled to wear a suit a season too long to "play like" it is new: we must "Blay lik " everything old and worn and sordid is beautiful and just what we like. 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 is no, other way to be happy.
