Advice to the Lovelorn
Rv Beatrice Fairfax
TELL HER BY ALL MEANS.
Lru. Miss Fairfax:
i am a young man deeply in love
v'.tli a young lady one and a half
my junior. We go around 11
l;. u deal together, but she treitfs
veiy indifferently and seems to
n< lor other young men just as
.nut ii. if not more, than for me.
Should I tell her of my great love
for her or wait until she shows
more love for me? M.
Do you want her to fall into your
hands like a peach from a tree?
You must climb for the best, and in
this case "climbing’' consists in work
ing so hard to win h£r love she won’t
are for other young men.
Tell her you love her, and don’t ex
ert any avowal of affection from her
til! you have made yours.
TELL HER SO PLAINLY.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 on 19 years of age, and while
in a little town I met a girl of 17
tears. We loved each other, and I
promised I would marry her. Later.
I came back to town to work. And
nov. she writes me letters saying
she will kill herself if I don’t keep
my promise. I intend to keep my
promise because I love her and she
loves me, but not just at present.
I feel as though I am too young to
hurried. R. G. W.
''onvince her of your sincerity by
the tone of your letters. Having awak
n-.-d her love by your attentions, you
must be true to her.
You are right in thinking a man of 19
and a girl of 17 are too young to marry’.
I am sorry you didn't realize it before
ou became so devoted.
CASE REQUIRING FRANKNESS.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a young man of 21 years,
and am deeply in love with a young
idy three years my junior. I at
‘ '-tilled a settlement dance with her
some time ago, but she apparently
was not pleased.
As I love her very dearly, I would
ike to know whether it was my
ompany which displeased her, or
rally the dance. Klso in
:■ i: me how I can win her.
ANXIOUS.
If you took her to a dance where the
mipany was not agreeable to her, you
1 lev an apology.
'Io to her and a.»k if this is the cause
her coldness.
Winning her will be the most de
ghtful task you ever set yourself, and
-"U need no guide book on the way. Be
ourteous. considerate, kind and agree-
Think of her first and last, and
ke cure when you offend her that you
lake ample apology, and never offend
the same way again.

drifts & all. & three miles back at nite.
Thay doant make that kind of old Ro

ing out. like the Veterans of the Civil

street ears these days. Pa sed. Thare
was men in those days, wen it was
rough going.
But you are awful strong, deerest,
sed Ma. I guess Ma was thinking about
the furs.
Maybe I am awful strong, sed Pa, but
how many' trees cud I chop down in a
day. Maybe if I had a sharp ax, Pa
sed, I mite win the decision oaver a
two-year-old basswood tree, or a littel
soft pine tree, but if I won it 1 wud have
to win It quick. After that my wind
wud be gone.
I dident think that yure wind wud
ewer be gone, sed Ma. the way you
keep talking all the time.
Do you mean that I talk too much?
sed Pa.
That is what I sed, sed Ma. I am a
woman of unflinching currage, Ma sed. I
& onst 1 have sed a thing 1 nevvet go |
back on it.
Is that a lie or a boast, sed Pa.
It is the plain truth, sed Ma.
All rite, sed Pa. Now, jest for that
you doant git any six hundred d6llar
set of furs.
NOT WITH YOUR DISPOSITION.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am twenty and am keeping com
pany- with a man of twenty-nine.
He declares he loves me. which
love I return. This man is making
a very good living, as he is a physi
cian. with a very large practice. Do
you think I could be happy with
this man, as he is lame?
PERPLEXED.
Your asking the question proves you |
’ do not love him: that you could never I
be happy with him, and he could not I
i long be happy with you.
If you loved him as you should, you I
would love him all the more because of |
this physical disability. There would I
not be room for a doubt.
SEND YOUR BROTHER.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been going with a young
man quite a while, but a couple of
weeks ago we decided it would be
best to stop going together. I wrote
to him asking that he return my
picture. As yet I have received
neither picture nor heard from him,’
MARY.
If he ignores a second request, let the
third come from your brother or your
father, or some other male relative.
Perhaps his disregard of your request
is due entirely to neglect. The best of
men are very neglectful in observance
’ of such obligation. At any rate, don’t
forget the lesson in the incident, and
i that is not to give your picture to
every young man who pays you atten
( tion.
THE SERIOUSNESS OF YOUTH.
■ Dear Miss Fairfax:
My age is nineteen and I am sin
cerely in love with a girl about one
year my junior. The other day I
accompanied her to a skating rink
in Syracuse and there she met an
other fellow and I think she is go
ing to marry him. The ambition of
my life is to win the love and af
fection of this fair one.
GEORGE.
You are only nineteen: the "ambi
tion of your life" is still too young to
reckon seriously. If this girl, after a
few days acquaintance with the other
man. intends to marry him, she is too
fickle for you to fret about.
There are other “fair ones," my dear
i young man. Go to work; put yourself
in position to own a home for a girl,
, and then look for her.
BELIEVED ABOUT BABIES.
I Lots of superstitions cluster about
. Master Baby. The curious thing is
that most of them are believed in coun-
I tries as far apart as China and Peru,
'among savages as well as among civ
j ilized nations.
The most widespread of all is that,
if a baby is to rise in the world, he
must go upstairs before he goes down.
If the house is a one-story one, it is
usual for the nurse or friend to stand
on a chair, with the baby in her arms.
Savages carry their babies up trees.
Another common one is that if any
» ,
of a baby’s tiny but complicated clothes
ate aecidentallj »ut on inside out. they
must be le’t that way. or bad luck
will follow.
I Millions of mothers all over the
world firm!) believe that the buoy will
have bad luck if he is measured. In
many parts of England this supersti
tion "Mends to weighing also.
Nearly ever Scots mother Is con
vinced that to/let a baby look at him
self in the glass is to shorten his life.
Every Scots baby, too, gets a piece of
silver pressed into his tiny palm be
fore he is a day old, to bring him finan
cial prosperity.

Beauty is a business asset, but the life of a professional beauty is not the
gay butterfly existence it is pictured.
By GABY DESLYS.
HERE 1 am once again wilting
to you about beauty.
I should hesitate to do so if it
were not a subject about which every
woman is keenly interested, and which
also occupies the mind of man a good
deal of the time.
I am willing to write about beauty,
to divulge those secrets which have
helped me gain my reputation for good
looks, and when I speak about my own
looks, understand that I do it in the
most impersonal way.
There is a great difference between
the attitude of the so-called profes
sional beauty and the beautiful woman
in the ordinary and more sheltered
walks of life toward this question of
beauty.
I once heard the most beautiful ac
tress in America say that her reputa
tion for beauty was a sort of iron ball
to which she \ as always chained, and
which made her a slave. "If I snoulii

of money, because people would say:
‘Dear me, how she’s gone off in looks.’
And that would affect the Imx office,
which in ttirn would affect my'salary.”
If she were not a beauty and did not
devote most of her attention to her
looks, however, she could not earn the
large sums of money which she gives to
charity, nor would sh“ be able to help
young and struggling artists and
writers.
For there is no elixir of youth, no
fountain of beauty. They are the result
of intelligent and systematic care of the
body, and the modern beauty, provided,
of course. t»he has some foundation of
good looks to start with, studies the
I matter scientifically and becomes beau
tiful by dint of hard work.
1 have been reading a great deal
about eugenics lately in tile daily pa
pers. I’take it that his means the pro
duction of a perfect race, governed by
all "the known laws of health and hy
giene. Eugenie babies ought to grow
up into beautiful men and women, for
beauty gets its real start in babyhood.
Happiness is the dancing partner of
beauty'. They can hardly be dis
sociated; where you have a happy child
you generally have a pretty one. But
the little girl who is gloomy and sad is
involuntarily casting her features into a
look of settled melancholy or discon
tent. Neither of these is beautiful
It is said that the women of the hard
laboring classes age prematurely. Nat
urally, they must, for long before they
have reached an age where the normal
child could understand about serious
things, like work and responsibility,
they have taken their load of the fam
ily burden and are already hard at work
plodding and toiling to support their
meager home
A long, siow and very gradual de
velopment, both of the physical and the
mental, is needed to store up vitality
and health which will be used to make
the future beauty.
In the meantime, there are all kinds
of sports and exercises to develop the
little body and bring it to its highest
point of perfection.
Eyes that are crossed can be made
normal; and we have in Erance, just as
1 am sure you have here, many schools
where gymnastics are taught for chil
dren under the supervision of a doctor,
who examines the /children carefully
and gives them the exercises needed to
correct whatever imperfection they may
have.
Don’t forget that the foundation of
beauty’ is laid before one is ten years
old, and see that you are not neglect
ing the child that-is in your cart, and
who will never forgive you if she has
been denied her share of health and
good looks.

CHAPTER X.
“Lady Brancaster!”
There was only laughter and jovial
clinking of glasses as Reverie) enter
tained the hunt at breakfast in the great
hall of Falconhurst, while outside the
hounds were being prepared for a big
meet. The men in their red coats and
full hunting “togs” seemed so many fig
ures stepped out of the frames of the
portraits on the walls behind than of the
almost princely family of Beverley.
But at one end of the table, a little
withdrawn from their neighbors, the Rev.
Verner Haslam and Captain Sartoris were
talking. The clergyman looked anxiously
up and down the board.
“Where’s Brancaster?” he asked, his
uneasv conscience troubling him.
But Sartoris was perfectly at his vase..
and the other’s anxious rones passed by
him.
“Oh, he’s driven down to the station,’’
he returned In a casual tunb. “He’s been
fussing around all tho morning about a
oa'cei or something he wanted from
town.”
“He’s quite recovered?” asked Haslam. |
“They think so. Talks us hunting to- i
day.” said Sartoris.
“But his mind his memory?'' the un
easy clergyman asked.
Sartoris shrugged his shoulders in their
well-fitting red coat.
“Why?” he asked.
“When the vicar returns lie'll read that {
- that entry in the marriage register,”
| he said, glancing uneasily up the table.
“Brancaster’s marriage,” returned the
other. “Well didn't he marry?”
“You know—” began Haslam.
“Pardon me. I know nothing.”
“You signed for him,” persisted Has
lam.
“No. You wrote his name.”
“But the murk. The cross against
it—”
Sartoris was visibly annoyed.
“Brancaster’s wrist was injured at the *
time,” he said. “Dash it! We must
be artistic— he couldn’t write.”
“What does it matter? The thing is
there,” groaned the substitute’ vicar.
“Quite so - in perfectly legal form.” said
Sartoris firmly.
“He will know it is false,’’ said the
conscience-stricken 1 laslam.
' - ■
Never’ He never can or will—unless
du tell him,” said the captain. “Do
>ou want to add a memory’ of jail to
your other reminiscences. Beastly place!

ou stick to it. You can’t be found out
so he noble. You’ll have a jolly bad time
it you don't."
The other shuddered.
‘But uni she make her claim- publicly
soon?" he asked
Sartoris t, ~k a puff at the cigarette
,;is as he returned:
"Can’t say. Site never meant to while
he lived She was anticipating— er—
Weeds, don t you see Now the situation
is changed. If he jilts her she ma}' be
jealous perhaps resentful -and, well, If
the crash conies sooner or later—lt’s all
one to you, my dear Haslam—d'you see?
You’ve got to stick to It."
Beverley now rapped on the table and
gradually the company of men settled into
their places.
The Last Hunt.

quis, “and this is our last meet. Now
