CERTAINLY NOT.
r\KAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am nineteen. I speak to a
girl every day and I would like to
keep company with her. What shall
I ask her? Is it improper for me to
seek companionship with her if she
is two months my senior? C. C.
The difference in your ages is too

Take her to an entertainment occa

such a request.
HE IS SELFISH.
T"\EAR MISS FAIRFAX
For a year and half I have been
keeping company with a young inan
of thirty years. I am twenty-two.
He says he loves in* ra<»re than any
thing In the world, ir>d I believe
he does, but he sm- at married
life would not suit hi*., nul that he
never Intends to mar. He said
he would never get tired of me,
hut that he Just thought married |
life would not suit him. t>ne time
he told me that he pitied a wife
that had to stay at home, while
her husband wan at the club, and
he says a man will promise a wom
an anything until he gets her then
they usually went back to the old
habits.
This man loves me, I know. Juat
as much as 1 do him, but his friends
always advise him to stay single,
oh, what does he mean? He knows
that I am a nice girl, and I know
he would never try to take any
liberties, but why does he love me.
when he says he never Intends to
marry? LONELY.
He wants all the Joy of a woman’s
live, and none of the obligations
that attend.
He is enjoying himself while wasting
your time Perhaps if he learns that
some other man loves you In a less
selfish way he may change his mind.
GET BETTER ACQUAINTED.
A EAR MJH8 FAIRFAX:
I am deeply in love with a
young girl who lives opposite me
and I think she loves me. but can
not come to the conclusion to ask
her If she loves me. Sometimes we
sit by the windows and talk to each
other, b|it she does not wait to talk
much to me. How can I find out If
she loves me? LESTER I.
You must get belter acquainted and
give her more time If she loves you j
after a mere window acquaintance her
love isn’t well founded. Pay her every
attention a girl likes to receive and be
hoih constant and consistent.

I iO an expectant mother:
You tell me another child is com

full of trouble and anxiety; and sorry
for yourself.
It does not seem to enter your mind
that you are forming the nature of
your child by your moods; and that
you have an obligation, resting upon
you to use will power, .self control,
prayer and faith while thL helpless
being is carried under your heart.
You are building something which
will means good or evil for the world
for time and enternity.
You are bringing into existence a
HUMAN BEING.
Such a colossal thought ought to take
such a complete possession of you that
nothing petty, nothing gloomy, noth

and glory could enter your mind.

BUT GREATER THAN ALL THESE
IMPULSES AND TENDENCIES IS
THE MIND OF THE MOTHER TO

INTO WHAT IT WILL BE.
If yoip. realize how wonderful is the
work given to do, and how far reach

it, a gnrat awe, will fall upon you, with

You will fall on your knees and lift

Daysey May me and Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
W HEN It comes to love affairs, the
modem girl’s heart is an in
cubator, compared with which
the old-fashioned girl’s heart was a
hen.
Which means that the capacity of the
modern girl’s heart is unlimited.
Daysey Mayme Appleton has always
made it a point to use the scraps of
her funeral-baked meats for an ap
petizer for the succeeding love feast.
With one swipe of her powder rag she
wipes out the traces of tears shed for
a departing love, and touches up her
nose to attract a new.
No widower returning from a brand
new grave in the cemetery ever wasted
less time.
Such energetic measures are not with
out their results, and before her fami
ly had recovered from her last broken
engagement, she was engaged anew.
Her lover, who lived in a distant town,
had proposed by letter.
It would take time to reply. It would
be at least eighteen hours before he
could get her answer.
“He might in that long time,” mused
Daysey Mayme, “change his mind.’’
Such a risk was too great to contem
plate. She would telegraph.
Ten minutes later she was in the
nearest telegraph office, facing a youth
who looked as importnat afe if he were
the United States Government.
“How many words,” she asked him,
“can I send for twenty-five cents?”
He told her ten. and she retired to a

fully clutched up here and there. At every step the cloth about
her feet gasps silkily and draws back from four or five inches of
gossamer stocking. The buckles on her insteps twinkle and mock
like a pair of wicked eyes. With her come the clouds of Spring
birds from the South; soft, cream-puff clouds and fruit-tree blos
soms. Beside her way lusty Pan pipes away a thrilling, honey -
sweet chanson. And the baby lamb lounges at his woolly, Mouth

body in this neighborhood. I am always
up before 3 o’clock In the morning. '
The second farmer said he was always
up before that and had part of his work
done.
The first farmer thought he was a
liar, and decided to find out. A few
mornings later he got up at 2 o’clock and
w*ent to the neighbor’s house. He rap
ped on the back door and the woman
of the house opened it.

farmer, expecting to find the neighbor

But the word “Yes” looked smaller j

it at the end of the message and realized I
that its peril was still greater.

After chewing her pencil and writing j

“Which art thou going to marry,
Eulogla?” asked one of the girls that
night as they rode down the mountain.
“Neither,” said Eulogla, serenely.
E ULOGIA had just passed through an
animated interview with her
mother.
“Thou wicked little coquette.” cried
Dona Pomposa, her voice all worn out.
“Thou dareat repeat to me that Thou
wilt not marry the Senor Rogers?”

“I will not. It was amusing to be
engaged to him for a time* but now I
am tired. You can give him what ex

“Ar.d the clothes I have made—the

magnificent bed-spread with the lace as
deep as my hand!”
“They will keep until I do get married.

“Dost thou, indeed, thou little brat!

“Yhou wtlt bo an old maid? Like

“Perhaps.”

A stranger in traveling scrape and
riding boots had dashed up to the
house and flung himself from his horse.
”A your service. senorfL At your

Thomas Garflas. Word lias reached him
that the Senorita Eulogla is about to

“Ask her!” cried Dona Pomposa
tragically.
“Senorlta, at your feet.”
“You can tell your friend that I have
no more intention of marrying the
American than I have of marrying him.”
“Senorita! He expected to return and
marry you next week.”
“We expect many things in this world
which we do not get.”
“But— a thousand apologies for my

"I never write letters.”
"But you could have sent word by

"Ay, senorita, well are you named
Dona Coquetta. You are famous even
to San Francisco. I will return to my
poor friend. At your service, senora.
At your service, senorlta," and he bowed
himself out and galloped away.
Dona Pomposa threw herself into her
chair and wept.
“I had thought to see her married to
a thrifty American. What have I done
to be punished with so heartless a
child? And the Americans have all the
money. The little I have will go too.
We shall be left sitting in the street.
And we might have a wooden house in

Eulogla slipped out of the window
and went into the mission garden. She
walked slowly through the olive groves,
lifting her arms to part the branches
where the little purple spheres lay In
their sliver nests. Suddenly she came
face to face with Pablo Ignestria. ,
