HE IS SELFISH.
D : KAR MISS FAIRFAX:
For a year and half I have been
keeping company with a young man
of thirty years. I am twenty-two.
Re says he loves me more than any
thing in the world, and I believe
he does, but he says that married
iifp would not suit him, and that he
I never intends to marry. He said
ie would never get tired of me,
% h 1
but that he just thought married
life would not suit him. One time
he told me that he pitied a wife
that Hfcd to stay at home, while
her husband was 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, 1 know, fust
as much as I do him, but his friends
always advise him to stav single
Oh, What does he mean? He knows
that 1 am a nice girl, and I know
ho would never try to take any
liberties, hut why does he love me,
when lie says he never intends to
marry? LONEI.Y.
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.
TA EAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am deeply in love with a
young girl who lives opposite me
and 1 think she loves me. but can
not come to the conclusion to ask
her if she loves me. Sometimes we
sit by the window^ and talk to each
other, but she does not wait to talk
much to me. How can I find out if
she loves me? LESTER I.
You must get better acquainted and
give her more time. If she loves you
after a mere window r acquaintance her
love isn't well founded. Pay her every
attention a girl likes to receive and be
both constant and consistent.

boss. I always remember that poem,
it was so fierce. This is how it went:
“ Bill Smith, thou great and noble
leader.
The baseball world looks up to
th“e.
And almost any careful reader
From the lowest to the highest
degree
Must know when reading the
sporting page
The wonderful chieftain that thou
art;
Thou art an athlete and a sage;
I worship thee with all my
heart.’ ”
"Tl.it was fierce, wasn't it?’ said
the Head Barber. "I guess that kind
of tripe wouldn’t go very far with a
rnan like Billy Smith."
“That’s what poor Wilfred found
out," said the Manicure Lady. “The
morning that he reported at Ponce
DeLeon Smith told him to go and pul
on a uniform for morning practice.
That’s where Wilfred made another
mistake of his life—the kind that
he is all the time making. Other fel
lows make little mistakes once in a
w hile for a change, but every mistake
Wilfred makes It is the mistake of
his life, to hear him tell it. Instead
of nutting on his uniform right away
and getting out to practice with tfie
other boys, he had to go and show
that piece of chees e he called a poem.
Smith read it through, so Wilfred
told us, and then told him that he
didn’t need to mind putting on the
uniform. He told poor Brother that
he had boneheads enough on his team
as it was, without signing any poet,
and he said that the best he could
do would be to give Wilfred the posi
tion of assistant hat boy. That’s
how Wilfred came to lose his interest
in baseball.’’
The Summer Silliness.
“It's funny how many people kind
of lose their minds in summertime.”
said the Head Barber. “If it isn’t
baseball it is golf. There were three
fellows in here this morning—the
only three that have been In my
chair. Two of them* were baseball
bugs, and the other couldn’t talk
about anything except the new links
near his country home on the Ma
rietta road. He had a stack of clubs
with him that looked almost as big as
a cord of wood, and when he got out
of the chair he showed me a dozen
new golf balls he had just bought.
While he was showing them to me
and telling how much they had cost
him. he oozed out of the door kind
of dreamy without handing me no
tip at all. I guess there is even
more golf cranks than baseball
cranks.”
i don’t think so." said the Mani
cure Lady. “I’ll bet you a cigar,
George, asrains*’ *n ie*' cream soda.
! that the next fellow that comes In
j here will start right in beefing about
1 baseball,”
“And I’ll bet," said the Head Bai-
| ber. “that he starts in gabbing about
golf."
i The door opened and a flashily
I dressed young chap came in and made
for the Head Barber’s chair.
I “Fine weather, this, for outdoor
sports." remarked the Head Barber,
evidently anxious to bring things to
a head.
“It is that." replied the stranger.
“Gee, won’t it be great when we get
racing again?”

To An Expectant Mother
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

Ik
> an expectant mother:
You tell me another child is com
ing; and that you are worried and
full of trouble and anxiety; and sorry
for yourself.
It «loes 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 this helpless
being is carried under your heart.
You ure building something which
will means good or evil v for the .world
for time and enternity.
You are bringing j into existence, a
HITMAN BEING.
Such a sol ossal thought ought to take
such a complete possession of you that
nothing petty, nothing gloomy/, noth
ing selfish, nothing less, than greatness
and glory coul<\ enter your mind.
Other Incarnations.
That child now’ under your heart has
lived many times before on earth. It
will come with many impulses and ten-
tencies brought over from old incarna
tions; and many others from ancestors
"f your own and the ancestors of the
father.
BUT GREATER THAN ALL THEBE
IMPULSES AND TENDENCIES IS
THE MIND OF THE MOTHER TO
MOULD AND SHAPE THAT CHILD
INTfj WHAT IT WILL BE.
If you realize how wonderful is the
work given to do, and how far reach
ing will be the results of how you do
it, a great awe, will fall upon you, with
a gre.it exalthtion.
You will fall on your knees and lift
your face to the Invisible Helpers, and
cry out; “Creator. God and all Holy
Angels ami Intelligences in the worlds
and systems of worlds about and be
yond me, help me to be worthy of this
mighty mission of Motherhood with
which I am invested, endowed. Thrill
me, stir me, enlighten me, with wis
dom. give me light and guidance: and
show’ me the wajr to give to the world
a perfect child."
This prayer will be from the depths
of your being; and it will he repeated
every day, and you wdll fall asleep at
night with the words on your lips.
Avoid Everything Ugly.
Then you will guard yourself from
all evil thinking or speaking, from
gloomy or depressing thoughts; be
cause you will know that one who so
respects the mission entrusted to her,
and who so believes in her great re
sponsibility will be guarded and helped
over all the hard places by the Divine
Guides, who are ever about us.
You- will avoid looking at the ugly,
the .deformed or the repulsive things
of earth. You will read no taler of
crime and allow no one to talk such
things to you, because you will not
want to pass on to your unborn child
anything but the beautiful, healthful and
inspiring things of life.
You will read good books, books or
biographies of noble lives, books of brave
ami noble needs; and you will listen
to good music, and go into churches
and galleries and see beautiful pictures;
or walk in woods and fields and look at
beautiful nature.
And always will there be the prayer
and the faith in your heart that brings
the Invisible Helpers near.
You will believe that a Great Seul
is coming to earth through you, a soul
that will be helpful, and happy, and
that will bring the best joy into your
own life that it has ever known.
Anil with all your heart and mind and
mental ami spiritual powers you will
love this baby; anil you will he brave
and courageous and know that all must
be well with you and it. For of such

A RAMBLE WITH EULOGIA
A Love Story of the Old Spanish Misssons
By GERTRUDE ATHERTON
W HEN it comes to love affairs, the-
modern girl's heart is an In*
eubator, 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 May me Appleton has always
made it a point to use .the wraps 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 Jove, and tpuches up her

“How many words," she asked him.
“can I send for twenty-five cents?"
He told, het ten, and she retired to a
table to compose her answer.
“Yes, 1 am proud to say it. Come
at once.”
Just ten! She was delighted with her
reply, till a sudden harrowing thought
struck her. That woffi “Yes," was so
little and unobstrusive. Suppose It
should get lost off? She would write
another message and put it in the mid
dle.
“You have made me very happy. Yes,
come to me.”
But the word “Yes" looked smaller
and less secure than ever, and telegraph
companies are so careless. She tried
