The ghost of old Major Tom!
In spite of the agony of that night,

his neck and a voice, low and vibrant
with the emotion of the moment, as ever,
poured into his ear:

The spirit of sacrifice stirred within the
man.
"No, no: you can't; you mustn't," he
said.
But the girl went on, still her arms
about his neck and her lips close to his:
“Don't you see, dear, the sacrifice you
made when you decider! that even if I
were willing you wouldn't take me? Oh,
you didn't say so, but 1 have thought it
all out. Don’t you see that the sacri
fice you willed proves to me that you will
never be as before-—that you will have
the strength to fight and to win—ls there
is any enemy to fight. Don’t you see,
dear? Why, it's as plain as day."
"I shouldn't—l know I shouldn't,”
murmured Jackson. "I ought not—-”
And then the kindly beam of light from
the nearest window cast but a single
shadow.
TEN YEARS LATER.
"Broadway” Jones was again on Broad
way. But he was not alone. By his side
was his wife, and to each of his hands
slung a child. A third walked slightly
behind Josie, gazing back at the wonders
they passed, and ahead of them trudged
a strudy little boy. All of the members
of Jackson's family were hungry, but they
passed without noticing Speary’s or Bee
tor’s or the new and splendid Tanley's.
Into a side street turned the little pro
cession, eventually to almost fill a little
restaurant, where the sole waiter looked
startled, as if so many patrons had never
entered the place together before.
It was Jackson, not Josie, who crumpled
up the smaller children’s bread and pushed
It into their cups. Josie herself watched
him with a strange smile on his face.
STILL ON THEIR HONEYMOON.
Suddenly her husband raised his head,
and in his turn smiled. All were now
comfortable at the table.
"Do you know, dear, what today is?”
he asked.
Josie's brow almost frowned as she tried
to recall.
“Surely, dear,” she said, “It isn't the
anniversary of our engagement. That is
a little more than three weeks off.”
The old humor rested softly in the
man's eyes.
'How quickly woman, that Is the In
spiration to man, forgets.” he said.
Josie still searched her memory.
“Oh, I know,” she said. “It must be the
day for the new dividend of the men, or
the anniversary of the new school, or the
anniversary of the hospital—no, It can’t
be any of those.”
“No,” said Jackson; “It's nothing as
trivial as that.”
And he drew gently from hfs pocket a
little time-yellowed packet, whose cover
ing was broken, and held it aloft so that
she read: "Jones’ Pepsin Wafers.”
"Why, where did you get that?” she ex
claimed. "We manufacture so little gum
at the plant nowadays; all of those real
useful things require so much of the
floor space.”
“Don’t you remember,” said her hus
band, “you gave me that packet on the
first night we met, and a little later you
said—”
He passed one es the wafers to each of
his children.
"Hand it down to your children, sr'
their children, and so on anil so on— ’’ he
quoted.
And a few moments later the waiter
was telling the cook that for the life
of him he couldn’t see why a honeymoon
couple should borrow four children.
THE END.
it be proper for me to call, too, as
she has never told me our engage
ment is broken, and I can not sleep
nights, as I always see her red hair
in front of me?”
One of the most distressing of all
spectacles is a girl pursuing a man, yet
letters like this give proof that pursuit
Is what some men need. Not many,
but just a few like this great big, blun
dering, snail-like man. ,
He was engaged to a girl; she left
town; he made no attempt to find out
why, though he still loves her to such a
maddening degree that he can’t sleep
nights, as lie always sees her red hair
tn front of him. He knows another man
is trying to win her, yet he delays tak-'
ing action till he learns if action is
justifiable.
Does he think he can win her by
standing still and moaning?
He can’t sleep nights, he says, and
he seems to be making up for it by
sleeping In the daytime!
The little god Cupid 1s armed with
bow and arrow. There never would
have been such a happy word as “court
ship" in the world’s vocabulary if this
little god of love lay awake all night in
the anguish of unrequited affection and
yawned all day.
He has weapons to bring down his
victims, and he* uses them.
The writer of the above letter, who,
for the time being. Is Cupid’s under
study. also has weapons, and he must
use them. He must cadi on this red
haired vision of his waking dreams, and
tell her of the unhappy plight into
which his love for her has plunged him.
He must be her escort on every oc
casion on which she will grant him the
privilege: he must send her candy and
flowers as if they were so many ar
rows; he must consult her wishes in all
things, and he must so surround het
with his love that she will lose all de
sire to ever escape from it by forget
ting him in Pittsburg.
The love of a red-haired girl is well
worth the winning Her love is fervent,
like he rhair. She is generous to a
fault; she is warm-hearted; she is true
Her love, once won, shows more lastirfg
qualities than the love of either a
blonde or a brunette. She loves for
life!
Because of all this, I am sorry that
the man who loves her so maddeningly
is so timid. He needs just the force of
character the color of her hair indi
cates she possesses to become a real
man. But he will never win her by
sleepless nights and days that ate de
voted to yawns.

IT happened that I got to see Miss
Fay Wallace very early- in the
morning, before that long, reddish
mane of hers was tucked up in a
grown-up manner.
At the time, her hair was tied with a
big bow of ribbon, and hung down her
back over a negligee of apricot-colored
silk and ecru lace. The hair and the
silk went beautifully together, and I
found myself studying Miss Wallace’s
clever color arrangement of walls and
hangings and cushions, which Is all
made to form a most artistic back
ground for this little girl with the red
hair, as she calls it. though it is more
auburn.
Miss Wallace has considered this
question of color very seriously. It is
reflected in the light gold color of the
walls, and in the old rose'of t-he cush
ions, in touches of tarnished gold and.
brown in the walls. Everything in the
room goes with that hair and brings
out the faint color in Miss Wallace's
white cheeks and the deep brown of .her
eyes. ’
“A girl with red hair has to. study
herself more carefully than the decided
blonde or brunette type,” explained Miss
Wallace, when I congratulated her on
her color scheme.

to get the right combinations, and I am

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax.
MOST DECIDEDLY NOT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Is it right for a girl of seventeen
to go out to the theater with a
young man she flirted with, as he
was very nice the first night she
met him? DOUBTFUL.
A girl of seventeen (or of any other
age) should not flirt. It is a dangerous
sport.
Under no circumstances should she
accept attentions from a man met in
such away.
AN UNUSUAL REQUEST.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Kindly suggest a form for the an
nouncement of an engagement to
be mailed to friends and relatives
by a young couple announcing their
own engagement. K. C.
It is customary for the parents of the
bride-to-be to make an announcement
of her engagement. If she is an orphan
the duty falls on an older sister o
brother, a near relative or a friend.
This girl can not lack all these. Such
an announcement made by the relative
nearest her would be in better taste
than if made by the girl herself.
GO TO HER MOTHER.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man 21 years old
and in love with ts girl one year
younger. Every time 1 make an at
tempt at corresponding, or meeting
her all my pfans are frustrated by
her mother.
i am at a loss to know her rea
sons. although it may be due to the
fact that 1 remain out after con
ventional hours. This is a neces
sity, as I must have recreation and
I can not attain this desire unless 1
stay out late, as I work nights and
my time is not my own until 11:30
o’clock.
I look ahead with sincere hopes
of making this girl my wife, for she
is the only one in the world for me.
Os late I have tried every means
conceivable to communicate with
her but tny efforts have proven fu
tile. T. A. C.
Unless her mother knows al] this, she
has every reason for objecting to at
tentions given her daughter after 11:30
at night. Go to her. show her your in
tentions are honorable. Prove your
ability to care for a wife, and I am
sure she will listen to you with under
standing ami sympathy.

used to make one look One’s very best.
It Is wonderful what a girl can do now
adays to transform herself into a wom
an of real charm and beauty. It seems
ail a matter of an intelligent work and
.Will power.
“I knew a girl who was absolutely
plain some years ago. Nobody’ admit
ted that she had the slightest claim to
beauty. She was both awkward and
homely. Yet. a year or so after I had
first seen her, she was considerably Im
proved, and In another twelve months
she had grown into an absolute beauty,
a woman who commands attention and
admiration.
“Now, this girl had achieved beauty
by hard work,-careful diet and exercise,
kept her complexion and figure perfect.
She had studied the art of dress, exact
ly* as-you would take up a course In a
foreign language or mathematics.
“When It came to gesture and pose,
she was perfect; having very few good
points to start with, she studied them
and made the most of them, and in
those things which every girl can con
trol, her walk, the grace of her carriage,
the charm of manner, she was abso
lutely perfect.
"As for color, she had mastered the
art of making that a flattering servant,
which called attention to her looks an 1
pointed to the individuality of her type.
The best thing about her was that you
did not feel that she had worked to
create an effect. She seemed perfectly
natural. She had studied how to be
beautiful, how to move, how to dress
herself becomingly, and then she seem
ed to think no more of the subject.
“That, to me, is a great accomplish
ment, to be unconscious of any effort
you have made to enhance your looks."
Miss Wallade was certainly quite ob
livious to the pretty' picture she herself
made, as she snuggled in a big chair
with cushions of old rose tucked behind
her, and framing that reddish hair of
hers.
“You might tell the other girls*who
are worrying about their red hair what
colors you have found most becoming"
I suggested.
"In choosing colors, most women go
by their hair alone." she went on. "But
it’s really more Important to favor the
complexion. Fed red-headed people ad
mit that they can wear rose color, but
I find all the pinks, especially’ the sal
mon shades and the dull old rose shade,
bring color to my cheeks and fade out

lace pr satin, or whatever the material
may be. The skin always looks yellow
by contrast, no matter how fair it really
is, and personally I always Insist on
having lace of that nice antique color,
eVen if it is brand new. You know how
you can get that color, by the way; It’s
very simple. If yotlr lace Is good, mix a
little orris root with a little powdered
saffron until you have the color desired,
then rub it into your lace. Have enough
of the powder to cover the lace, and
leave It for several hours: then shake it
out well and brush it. Your White lace
will have taken on a lovely' old lace
tone, which Is most becoming, and will
be delicately scented besides.
"The colors that I find most effective
are not the brand new vivid colors, and
seldom the fashionable shade of the
moment, but rather the dull, faded col
ors, which have lost that harshness
and brilliancy, beside which both hair
and complexion look dim. The most
beautiful colors In the world to me are
the dull and faded blues and grays in
Chinese embroideries.
"The girl with red hair has a wide
range of color to choose from, if she
will stick to the soft shades, and not
try to dim the brilliancy of her hair by
a violent and startling contrast.”

is going to steal our hats and coats?”
“Well," said the Yorkshireman, "I’ll
take good care they don’t have mine,
but yours went ten minutes ago."
