she gave him something which he has

to permit him to marry every girl he

From the man's p<»int of view, the

it is a sacrament of love. For her

Love Changes Most Obedient i
vt Daughters to Most Rebellious
THERE is something about love that
often changes the most tragically
obedient of daughters into the
I most r< liellious.
A girl will lei her mother choose
i her g« vv ns, her hats, her amusements,
'and her associates without question or
murmur. ‘•Mother knows best,” are
three words which in her mind ar« as
far removed from doubt is if they were
Holy Writ.
Then some day aft* r Mother’s >x
perienee and wisdom have steered ihe
girl safely through lor collieky days; ■
have directed her 'as’e in clothes and
aulusemtni in ways that commend, and
have guided her fooi.sttps in the danger
ous labyrinth where tals»- friends are
found, there comes a. the turn of the
road a man who professes io love.
The girl, so tractable, so loving, so
dutiful in ail things before, becomes as
unreasoning, as unreasonable, and as
unmanageable as if she had never
known restraint or reason.
To this rebellion she is incited by
' the young man, and the more unworthy I
he is of any woman s love, the greater I
he abets her

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
A GRAVE MISTAKE.
TXEAR MISS I AIRI-’AX:
My father had a young man
in his employ for two years, and
always treated him like an own
child, and 1 fell In love with him.
One liny last month my father
Kuve him some money with which
to pay a bill, and he has disap
peared. 1 still love him. I see
him every night, but my father
think- I don't sec him. Kindly
advise me what to do. as I am out
of my mind about it.
C. C. C.
1 think you are making a great
mistake. Your father treated this
younK man well, and lias been n paid
by bast ingratitude. You are de
ceiving jour father and conniving
at the man's wrongdoing. 1 do not
think you should see him again, un
less he goes to your father and begs
forgiveness.
NOT A SERIOUS BREACH.
TAEAR .MISS l-'AIRFAX;
* A gentleman calls on two
lady ft lends, and upon entering
the house asks tor a glass of ice
water, io v hiclt the lady answers
that'there is tu> i< i- water in the
house, but if h" wishes soda she
wilt' go downstairs to get some
for itiin A question then ariees
as to whether it was right for tile
gentleman not to object, and tell
the ladj- not to go down (the
people live on tin second tloor),
and if. according to the' rules of
etiquette he acted t'air hj' keeping
still. A. B.
I think if tin young man wanted
-o<la water he should have gone after
: h hiiuseli'. instead of letting the girl
i wait on him. However, it was’not
:i very serious lireaili of etktllette.
and 1 do m>t think lie need v.orry

• The girl v ho wears high heels, openwork waist* and a pompadour 3S
high as the moon to catch a man, is on the wrong track. That's nj
way! He wants sympathy for the trouble he thinks he has.”
—DAYSEY MAYME'S PHILOSOPHY
DVYSEY 2.IAYME APPLETUX
had received an invitation to
I the wedding of a girl friend, it
was the third she had received in. a
month, all (he expectant brides being [
•if her own age. She threw the invi
tation into the waste paper basket
with a feeling that she belonged there,
too.
When a woman has a problem to
solve, she walk:- to the mirror. Day -
sey Mayme walked to ’he mirror.
"You are as good looking as any
oi those girls.” she said to her reflet
tion, "and you wear more hair and
higher heels. Why is it?”
The Book’s Title.
She was not one to dismiss- light!v
the problems es life, and having one-'
set out to And why s'he hung so long
on, the parent stem, she gave the sub
ject the close investigation that is ai-
I ways attended by an ice pack on lite
investigator's fevered brow.
I The result of her weighty cogita
' tion is th« compilation of a series of
fables which she hopes come trustful
publisher will give to the public with
a picture of the author holding her
heavy brow in her hand, as a frontis
piece. The book will be entitled “Why
Men Marry." and the following is one
of the reasons told in fable form to
appeal to the higher intelligence of its
readers:
Once upon a time there lived a man

with his Mother and his Sisters, and

:: Being an Aristocrat ::
44 T F there was one thing I had
I always longed for more than for
any other earthly thing ” sa’.d Mrs.
Porter, “it was to lie in bed. perfectly
well, and have seine one bring me my
breakfast!'*
"Has the desire faded away?” queried
the friend.
5 “No; 1 have done it! And I found
I the worm at the core, as usual!” Mrs.
Porter smiled )>at helically at her caller.
“It happened this morning.” she ex
• plained. “The children were gone: you
t know’ they’re away for a visit. Frank
didn't have to hurry to the office, so
5 I screwed up my courage and told him
that I’d rather have him get up and
bring my breakfast to me than any
thing else on earth. I was positive that
he’d laugh at me and refuse—but I tried.
“Well’ he looked surprised. After a
woman h sabevn getting up for fifteen
years 365 mornings a year to gel break
fast. it comes as a surprise to her fam
ily to hear there's anything else that
she’d rather do.
"So Frank got up. I settled my pll
| low’ and tried to imagine that I was en
joying mysoP. I could hear him fum
bling anund in the pantry.
“Finally be came tiptoeing to the
door and whispered, as iff afraid he’d
wake me- though how he expected tu
get the information without waking me
I * ou’dn’t see: ‘Where’s the coffee';’
“1 tried tu answer as sleepilx as I
I could so lu’d think I was really appre
ciating his efforts. He went away and
, was pretty quiet for about five minutes,
» and then he came in again. Th s time
he said he’d found in the cook bu**k
how to make coffee right, and it said to
use eggs, so he wanted to know where
the eggs were. Frbm the way he em
phasized ‘right’ you’d think he’d made
a discovery id coffee making
"I forgot to tell him to put the cof
fee pot on the little burner, so when I
hear*! u strong exclamation and a hasty
dash across the kitchen I could picture
flic coffee all boiled over my nice clean
gas stove! But I held on to myself
and to believe that I was being a
real aristocrat!
“Well, he came in to find uut *where
I kept the butter and the bread and the
electric toaster. He asked where I
r kept the best uups and saucers, as he
, wanted to do the thing up right by
bringing me the best china. Ry the

was getting some us tbC j.ai s or
kettles, and soon I could smell smoke
so strong that 1 knew he was frying
something. Os course he never thought
of closing the doors!
“It was all I could du to lie there and
keep still. Sleep was absolutely gone
from me. I was slLJng up must of the
time, with my ears keen fur the sounds

tion that something wouhi hap;>en.
"But without further questioning

breakfast was ready. He was smiling
and happy, ami it did him a world of
