Advice to the Lovelorn Bv Beatrice Fairfax TAKE HER AT HER WORD. 11 ar Miss Fairfax: A girl friend of mine asked me ’. is question: If she told me em phatically that she did not want me to all on or try to see her, would 1 try to see her? She declared that if a fellow did n.’t try to see a girl, even after she t.l told him repeatedly not to call, a was not of much account. I would like to know what an swer you would give her. She was nut satisfied when I said I did not know what I would do. She says it is a test to see whether I am sln ere or not. PUZZLED. This is an unusual test, and not one i it is fair to the man. If it were a proposal of marriage and ne declined, he would be justified by is love to refuse to take “No” and to -"slst in courting her. Hut when a girl tells a man he must i • v r call, or try to see her, he owes it o his self-respect to take her at her word. Such a demand from her is proof .hat she cares neither for his acquaint ■mce nor friendship. let time decide. I ''-ar Miss Fairfax: lam 17. A little over a year ago i met a young man three years my ‘■nior. He loved me very much. had him call at my home. My Parents said I was too young to think of such things. J did not love him, and so I told him just what !''■> parents said, and 1 thought it best for us not to see each other any more. It is now one year since I saw rll m last, and I feel as though I U ould like to see him again.

Making a megaphone of her hands she called up: Throw in your first—throw in your first—that’ll slacken you.” But even before she spoke the man in the car had been attempting to do so. The hirer shot forward, and then before he could try to mesh the gears, the car lit erally careened on two wheels. The rid er s hand was forced to quit the lever and with his other hand grasp more firmly the wheel. He rounded the curve and literally fell, ear and man. down the last descent that separated him from the bit of road beside tile Falconhurst stables. Now he seemed to have clear sailing, for the road ran straight, and half a mile beyond the sta bles there was a slight rise that would be more than sufficient to check the speed of the car, intense though it was. As car and man blurred past Lady Di ana she thought she caught, from the car the words, “Thank you,” and the flash of a hand waved in the air. Fhe next Instant there was a thunder ous crash, followed by the manifold and multitudinous sounds of separate mech anisms of metal being rent asunder all in one second, yet following one another in minute fractions of that second. The eye of the rider must have devi ated from his course in that brief point of time when he had waved his hand and called his thanks to the girl who had the presence of mind to shout to him the only thing possible in that crisis. The Accident. His car, deviating ever so slightly in that instant, had rushed into the stone corner of the bridge just at the side of the footpath. It lay in fragments and twisted bits of metal. The man, hurled to the middle of the highway, sprawled there, bleeding and unconscious. For a long moment men and women stood without moving. Then Rayner and Beverley broke the spell, and a half doz en of them darted forward, took up the form in the road, and carried it into the stable yard. Lady Diana upon her arm received the limp, hanging head, as they put the man upon the ground. “Quick, Lambert, some brandy,” order ed Beverley to the Whip's trainer. “Grandfather, he’s dying,” exclaimed pityingly Lady Diana. Then she looked long into the face. “It’s the stranger, my artist," she said, a vast sadness falling upon her as she saw the wrist lying there limp upon which not so long before the hunter had set Its mark. He had laughed so blithely and had taken so good naturedly what had seemed to her a matter of so much concern, and here lie lay dead, or dying. Poor stranger! Poor artist! But a step from laughter to death, she reflected sadly. Now Lambert had brought the brandy but he did not hand it to the Marquis as he caught sight of the poor, pale face. "It’s Brancaster!” "My Lord, It’s the man we thought a tout,” he said to his employer. “I can’t help that," answered Beverley Impatiently. "The pony cart, quick. The man’s hurt. We must take hint to the castle at once—at once!” Captain Sartoris had been looking into the face of the inert stranger on the ground for several minutes in a puzzled fashion. He knew that he knew the man but the banishment of the consciousness had made such a difference in the fea tures that he could not recall. Suddenly he made an exclamation. “Good heavens, cousin! Do you see who n.is is?” came from him as memory cleared. The Marquis looked at the man on the ground and then into the face obthe cap tain. an unspoken inquiry in his own eyes. Sartoris took a deep breath, the better to subdue his own lively astonishment., “It’s —It’s —Brancaster,” he said.

If the man’s love Is of the lasting quality, he is waiting for you to grow up. and will return some time without waiting for an invitation from you. Just be patient and let time decide. YOU ARE BOTH STUBBORN. Dear Miss Fairfax: For two years I kept- company with a gentleman who claimed to think very much of me. but through some misunderstanding on his part we broke friendship one year ago. On his return from college 1 failed to recognize him, thinking it was his place to do so first. Today we spoke for the first time, he claiming it was my place to speak first. Now what I want to know is, was it the gentleman’s place or mine to speak first, as it was through no fault of mine we separated? N. D. My dear girl, tell that lover of yours that you are both stubborn. Tell him also that more happiness has been wrecked on the refusal of two lovers “to speak first” than the world dreams of. Don't, 1 beg of both of you, let a stubborn pride wreck yours. GIVE HIM UP. Dear Mb’s Fairfax: I am a widow of 32, and am keep ing company with a young man of 23. He is very kind and affection ate. I love him dearly, and I would do anything in the world to marry him. He has no intention of marrying anybody yet, but he likes to keep company for friendship. What would you advise me to do, as 1 want to be settled? JULIA. A widow of 32 should have some higher aim than marrying a boy of 23 against his will. If you love him truly, you love him too much to accept any sacrifice from him. If your love is no mor< than a desire to be ’ settled,” go to work and make a home for yourself.

Ik ■ a- - Lawton in “The Case of Becky,” who thinks clothes have great effect on women's characters. By Margaret Hubbard Ayer lon S a ß° a clergyman was IXI severely criticised for encour aging girls, especially wage earning girls, to dress as well as they could, possibly even a little better. Ac cording to Miss Mary Lawton, that clergyman understood the psychology of clothes, the moral effect of dress. Miss Lawton is the beautiful Val kyrie-like person who submerges her temperamental and emotional self as Becky's nurse, who has not one shred of humor or imagination in her compe tent and conscientious care of that young lady’s case. “The actor, or I will say the actress, and speak for myself, realizes the tre mendous effect which clothes have, not only on the spirits, but even on the mannerisms of the person,” said Miss Lawton. “Let me illustrate. A friend of mine a charming girl who lias had stage as pirations for some time, but who has not shown the slightest real talent, was given a part in a recent production, and during the rehearsals showed only the most glaring limitations. “Her part was that of a fashionable society woman, in other words, it was a clothes part. She was to wear the most gorgeous frocks and have the manners, the grace of bearing, thy distinction of a seasoned society woman of the best type. At Cress Rehearsal. "During rehearsals my poor little friend, who was really very young and rather shy and self-conscious, stum bled about the stage awkwardly, and was anything but the character she was trying to impersonate. “On the night of the dress rehearsal for the first time, she stepped on the stage dressed in a magnificent frock, one of those' snake-trained affairs, very tight around the ankles, which are sup posed to prove literal stumbling blocks to the unwary. “The girl was transformed. With the clothes of a society woman, with the coiffure, the aigrette, jewels and all the hundred and one accessories, she had assumed every' characteristic of a woman of that type, and she Is a bril liant success.

Gu. ered shyly across the stage, she now walked with perfect assurance, and the distinguished carriage of a woman of the world. Her manners, gestures, even the tone of her voice, were per fect. That is what clothes have done for her. “The effect of clothes is especially felt by’ the actress in a stock company, whose part changes from week to week, who is the fairy queen and then the gypsy maiden, the adventuress, or the all too-good and namby-pamby hero ine. Unless she is rm actress of enor mous experience and a huge repertoire, she has hardly time to get into the spirit of each new part, but as she puts on the crown, the ruche, the hoop skirt of Queen Elizabeth, the royal garb has an unconscious arid immediate effect on her bearing, and she feels herself a queen, where last week in other clothes, the gray habilaments of woe, she felt herself the much maligned heroine of modern melodrama. Dress Very Essential. “No one can afford to consider dress an unessential factor both in success and contentment of spirit," continued Miss Lawton. “I remember once a very poor man coming to my father and asking for some old clothes. The man had reached the last extremity of shabbiness, and with his shiny coat, his frayed trou sers, he had unconsciously assumed the down-trodden, woe-begone, abject manner, which an actor would have thought corresponded to the part. In stead of giving him clothes that had been worn, my father fitted the man out in a completely new suit, and trans formed him Into a person who, for the CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

"Have you ever studied out the moral influences of down-trodden heels'.’ A pair of heels trodden over at one side, not only throw a woman's walk out of gear, they do somewhat the same thing to her mental balance. Soiled shoes and gloves have an immediate effect on one’s manners and way of thinking. “Not to be well dressed makes one self-conscious, to say the least, and when you are self-conscious you are never expressing the best that is in you. “Just as the actress is influenced by her clothes, the girl in everyday life acts the part expressed by her cloth ing. Very few people rise above this, even if they think they do; it's for that reason I think the clergyman who was so bitterly criticised believed that a woman should dress as well as she could. Dress to Your Part. “You will always find that the wom an who lacks variety of thought and interest shows an equal paucity of ideas in her clothes. She may have plenty of money, but she affects certain rather severe styles, and drab or dull colors, or else she is the shirtwaist woman, who will never unbend to weal- the fluffy, feminine tea gowns or light col ored frocks in her hours at home, which unconsciously change her train of thought. "Whatever your part in life is. you want to wear the best clothes appro priate to that part. Good clothes make you efficient and capable of filling that part properly, because of the moral ef fect of being suitably dressed. Mind you put a big emphasis on the suita bly. If you were going to play the part of n stenographer in a drama, you would be a very poor actress to dress that part as if you were playing the lady villain or the circus queen. Suit your clothes to your role in life, and get the best you can for that role.” KEPT HIS WORD. A good story is told by one of the members of a collecting team for the Y. M. C. A. He had called on a promi nent tradesman several times without success. At last the merchant caved in and said: “Look here, sir, I'll give you $lO on condition that you don’t come into my office again unless I invite you.” The offer was promptly accepted. Next morning the unabashed collector was on the scene again. He knocked at the merchant’s door, and was told to “come in!” Then. “What’s the mean ing of this?” demanded the merchant. “Didn’t 1 give you a subscription yes terday on the express condition that you would not come here unless in vited?” “True,” was the answer; "but you asked me to come in when I knocked and here I am. If you would like to help our cause further,” etc. And the merchant did. -Jr -Ji X CHRISTMAS I?

I~yTS A Matter of Common Sense By Beatrice Fairfax THE pendulum of fashion has swung so far toward what the women like to call “The Artistic” that it sometimes appears it will neve again swing back to Common Sense. If a woman can afford to stay in bed when paying the penalty for appearing in pumps and silk hose in stormy weather, that is a matter that concerns only her. She is the woman who could stay in bed for a long, long time before the world will really miss her. But it is the woman who Is needed; who is useful; who has a work to do, and does it, who can not be too harshly condemned for risking her life and her usefulness by appearing on the streets in December in attire that is suggestive of J une. Site is one of the thousands who have clasped hands around the pendulum of fashion and are swinging on it far, far, away from everything that is sane and sensible. She is one of the vast army of women who disregard comfort in winter, be cause comfort in winter carries with It a suggestion of clumsiness. The foot in high shoe with thick sole doesn’t look as daintj as one in silk hose and pumps. She clings to her silk hose and pumps when every draft of cold air booms its warning of rheuma tism, tuberculosis, pneumonia and death. A throat that is covered affords no opportunity for the display of what so many foolish women regard as one of the greatest of their physical charms. So she bares her neck to every throat disease the cold blasts from the north may carry. Do You Know— The greatest depth of the sea yet dis covered is 32,089 feet. The guinea pig is fully grown when only six weeks old. The life of a steel rail on a main railroad line is twelve years. Tile average weight of man’s brain is 3 pounds 8 ounces, and of woman’s brain 2 pounds 11 ounces. Part of the cossack soldier’s drill consists in building bridges from lances with cooking kettles as floats. The British army costs per man more than twice as much as the most expensive compulsory service army in Europe. French postoffices will in future be provided—officially—with stamp-mols tenlng appliances, an innovation which is hailed by the press us a hygienic re form. Wearing tight boots affects the whole system. Appetite, complexion and eye sight all suffer. Some physicians assert that baldness is partly to be ascribed to this practice. Blue and pinched with cold she •«•>- aglnes she is a pretty and dainty sight. A goose with half its feathers plucked out, wandering in the snow, looks just as pretty and dainty. She works side by side with men in offices who wear warmer underclothing, heavier coat and vest. She wears the same thin, lace-trimmed waist she wore in July. Sin falls sick and drops from the ranks. ‘‘Overwork,’’ her sympathetic friends say, with sometimes a look of •eproach at the firm that employed her. Thin clothing," would be their ver dict If they were absolutely fair and candid. If she gets through a week or a month, or a winter without a cold, she boasts that her way of dressing Is the. right way She Isn’t so far-seeing that she looks ahead to the vast Inroads disease and death are making among the ranks of working women. She is in the springtime of her folly, and refuses to reckon with the harvest time of women wiio are older and who are pay ing the penalty. As I said in the beginning, if a wom an lias unlimited wealth, and can ride in her limousine, when there are storms, and command a hot-house heat in her home, she can be as foolish as she likes, and should she catch cold, the world will not suffer any more than It suffers when any butterfly is indisposed. But if she belongs to that glorious and useful army of women who work, either In home or In business life, she owes it to herself, to her faintly, to her employers, to the ultimate good sho was put on earth to attain, to be sensi ble. and to dress sensibly. No woman with a mission can ac complish that mission if she sets forth on it with the snow drifting around silk-hose-and-pump-clad feet. She must be well and strong. She must have a body removed from pain, a mind free from apprehension of sick ness, and a courage that is not im paired by any sense of physical dis comfort. And these are impossible unless she is sanely clad. A VOID IMPURE MILK for Infants and Invalids Got HORLICK’S It means the Original and Genuine MALTED MILK "Meu** Jmitaticiu?
