Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Do You Know Thai— The “Woman’s Court,” inaugurated in Chicago, has proved a great suc cess. Convinced that there were many cases in which a woman would prove a better arbitrator with her own sex than a mere man. Judge Pinckney ap pointed Miss Mary Bartelme to take over all essentially feminine oases. She has proved most successful in dealing with wayward girls, or those “who never had a chance.” No men are admitted to “Judge” Bartelme’s court when cases of this class are being dealt with, the probation offi cers. court bailiffs, (Jerk and official stenographers and reporters being all women.

My father was opposed to him, and insulted him, which he took like a man. and I was forbidden to speak to him. 1 had not spoken to him for about three weeks, and one day I met him. Breaking my father’s command. I spoke to him, and found we love each other dearly. 1 speak to a number of other men. but 1 find that I couldn't love any as I love him. TRUSTFUL. You are only 16 and your fath m knows better than you know who » the best company for you.

YOU ARE VERY FOOLISH. 1 \EAR MISS FAIRFAX T am IS and about three months ago met a young man who called on me frequently, and 1 thought he cared for me. One evening he made an appointment but never came. On the follow ing day he sent word he had gone on a distant business trip for an indefinite stay. 1 found his so- called “trip” Wip a falsehood. He did not offer an apology, hut said he would tell me some time later. He saw me hone that evening and made another appointment, but when the time <ame he .sent a note saying hi could not coon* and offered a fairly good exeus*. He made another appointment for a Week later, hut he never came. In spite of all. 1 love him still. HEARTBROKEN If .sou permit this men to m.;ke an other appointment with you, you will deserve the neglectful treatment you are receiving. — -- - J Ail Atlanta Man'Tells It Some Missing. Bulkins’ was very pious. very fond of th*- ladies and very bald on the back of his head. The other evening he was calling en a girl, and was giving her (•■'nsiderable church talk. • Ah. Miss Mary,” he said, “we are watched over very carefully. Even the hairs of our heads, are numbered.” “Yen, Mr. Bulkins." she replied, "but wouie < r i l:e bin ! numbers of yours ap pear to be missing!' “A lover sees his sweetheart in ev erything he loks at, Just as a man bitten by u mad deg. sees dogs in his meat, dogs in bis drink, dogs all around him." George Denison .Prentice. A man and young women in his office recently had this experi ence. “What,” he called to a young man. “is the address of the firm to which you made that consignment this morning?” The young man looked up absently • from his work and said dreamily, “Mad- I eline, Madeline Grey.” To a girl stenographer later, the em- J plover put this question. "Have you j finished the first bunch of letters?” Site ; looked a little startled as she replied. ! ”1 didn't know you wanted to know him. His name is Paul, and he is a civil engineer.” Wh} Do They Day Dream? In both instances the employer made j Kome comment about the world going i rqad, and he would be glad when this i falling in love had gone out of fash- j ion. “Why,” he complained to me later, j If l give a young man a valuable blu< print to study, I have to watch him like ! a f hawk to keep him front, covering it i with drawings of* a girl’s face, and I I hifVen’t a girl Working for me who | hears the first time she is addressed i Hke s away .iff In some dream boat < with George or Bill or John.” It is the omniscience of love. -It is a sweet ln?anity that calls for renewed vigilance from those who are sane to keep the prosaic affairs of the world moving In their right grooves. This employer grumbled, but he also laughed, and a grumble with a laugh underneath indicates a sympathy which !:i but poorly concealed. He knew what it was from experience f hope we all do. To have seen one's sweetheurt all around one has a most broadening ef fect on the sympathies. It also makes us charitable when suffering tin* annoy mice that this love madness in others causes The girl in the kitchen fills the sugar howl with ralt; the girl on the ear going ti work rides ten blocks beyond her des- ratinn and is lute; the girl with no greater duties than presiding at pink tea tables sees only with the outer eyes the guests she is addressing. From the humblest walk to the highest everything is awry, misplaced, lost or forgotten, be cause those who love see the object of their love in ail around them. The value of concentration is un known; the necessity of putting one's thought on the nearest duty and 1 keep ing at a safe distance all temptation to let the mind wander, has no place in the consciousness of those who are in love. Of Course Not! A young girl writes to ask if she is to be blamed because she thinks so much of her lover she can't keep her mind on her work. Bless her. no! The blame Is not hers. It goes away back to the one who invented loving. On the shoulders of that great human itarian there rests the blame of ail the sweet folly that begins with the day ! when a man and woman discover they • arc in love, and ends when their dream I boat bumps hard on the shore of that | barren-looking Island called Matrimony. The bump will come soon enough. It will also be hard enough. It will come soon enough and hard enough to suit tlie most unsympathetic and unroman - tic. And so I say to tins litle girl, Go on dreaming that you see your lover in all around you. It is your privilege and your right. Both Made Mistakes. THERE] hue been many innocent mis- * takes made by parsons. Among them is oe told of a certain clergyman who left a notice in his pulpit to be read by the preacher who exchanged with him. The minister neglected to denote carefully a private postscript, and the people were astonished to hear the stranger end by saying: “You will please come to dine with me at the parsonage after service ” Another amusing story is told of a minister The reverend gentleman was inclined to be absent-minded, and while* walking one hr” met a young lady whose face seemed familiar to him. Taking her to be one of his parishion ers' daughters, and not wishing to pass her without notice, lie stepped forward and cordially shaking her hands, en tered into conversation. After com paring notes about the weather, he had at last to confess: “l know* your face quite well, but - where have I seen you before?” ”Oh, please, sir, 1 am your new parlor maid,” was the reply. Talks With the Unkno wn Nora, the Cook By LILIAN LAUFERTY. P RETTY, red-haired Irish Nora had been the presiding deity •'*. our kitchen for three years, and 1 had always prided myself on the kindly, friendly spirit—entirely free from con descension- I had shown toward her But I have recently learned a little maxim, to wit: When you feel pleased v l ourself for the charming domo- apirlt you are showing toward f >ne, you are probably treating that individual in a sufficiently Lady Clara Vere DeVere, Haughty Beauty manner to make the word ’ Ister” slink in shame right nut of the English lan guage. Nora, as an Individual, Introduced herself to me in this wise: “Do you think your mother would he willing to get another veg«tjable man and let Mr. Hobbs go?” ‘‘YV^iy do you ask that. Nora?” Too Much the Gentleman. "Just as a favor to me. Miss. You see it’s this way: Mr. Hobbs keeps a-comin’ to see me: I have asked him not agin and agin, and layt evening he asked me to Inurry him. an' I said no, so I think it would be best to get a new vegetable man.” I was inclined to treat the matter facetiously; it was only an affair of the cook's. “Do you think he will revenge himself by giving us inferior vegeta bles in future. Nora?” “Oh, no, Miss lie is far too much the gentleman for that! You see that Is where the trouble lies; he is too much the gentleman.” ou see he owns his own vege table farm and lias a high school edu cation and his folks stand well in the community. Now, how would it do for him to marry a servant girl? He does not belong to my world, Miss; I don’t belong to his class, and as 1 don’t hold with such marriages, and there ain't much happiness in them, ah’ he will probably go tryin* to make love to me, I just thought maybe your mother would fix things ho I won't be tempted to do what would never come out well for any of us both.” L considered Nora as a girl like my self. Suppose you consider her, too, little sisters, in your home nests. Think her over as a girl—a real girl—not merely as a cook, and a representative of the servant class. Chance To Rise. Suppose a man of a class that had more of education, more of refinement snd more of social position than your own, suppose such a man asked you to marry him. Suppose lie offered you r haven of refuge -money, protection and freedom from work.. AVould you “hold with such a marriage?” I think so. And though ymt might Consider the question of romantic love, f doubt very' much if you would ever stop to j weigh the vast question of suitability. : Most of us modest little feminine per sons think that, given a position, we can fill it—and so. given a chance to rise in the world, we GRAB! Nora’s idea is different and very sim ple once you grasp all its modest sub tlety. She is actually proud of; being a servant; proud that she can earn an honest living by her own efforts; proud that out of her $6 a week she cah save enough to send the little mother in Ireland $5 each month: proud that she could bring her younger sister over and fit Annie out so “she wouldn’t look such a greenhorn that no one would be want ing her except to tind the extreme back door.” In her own world Nora lias many friends. She works hard and plays with gusto, and is quite sure that God called her to a certain place in the world, so why not fill that place to the best of j her ability, in Mead of trying to leap | two nr throe rings of a social ladder Mo i place she might be erHrely un- iable to fill when she got mere.' That is Norn . philosophy. Ambition and Avarice. | “Now. don’t think thu. I have no am bition at all, Miss, f just wouF like j to go on slow' and sure in this world ami when I am going to go anywhere make sure first that 1 can stay put after f arrive.” -Now me brogue. I’ve almost losht tliot, ye’ll be afther noticin’, please. Miss, dear.” 1 laughed. It was fresh, but refresh ing, and Nora had been proving herself a girl w’hn knew her place. ”1 \e tried other things besides being a servant. I could just live along on the dollar and a quarter a day I could make as a seamstress. Working up in that to where T could support myself and do a little for my folks was t< o slow, for what I seemed to work up most of all was an appetite. And I could not live on what I could buy. So 1 t"ok a place and tried to learn mani curing the while, i wasn’t the kind for a. shop n >i bright enough in the way a manicure girl has to he. I seemed lost somehow, and here I am found; so here I stay in the class I belong. And maybe I’ll get married, but I’ll marry a man who will be having just as much ad vantage havin’ Nora Doyle for a wife as she is goin* to get out of being his missis. ”1 don’t hold with avariciousness either, Miss, and though I’m going to carry myself as far as 1 can I’m not for pullin' for some one else or shovin' on my o,wn part.” Do You Enjoy Life? “But you are young like me. Nora. Don't you want to enjoy life? Don’t you ever want a good time?” “Indeed I do, Miss, and 1 have it. Please don't think I'm fresh to say it, but sometimes I think 1 have more fun than you and your friends. I can go to a dance in a white shirt waist and en joy it fine; if I haven't got a fellow to take me, I can go about by mesllf and have a good time without any one say ing a word against me. And oh, Miss, dear, If you only knew what fun It Is to have no worries about my own way, working all I can, and havin’ all the fun I have time for. and there’s no one I envy or who envies me—so now w’hat more should 1 be after wantin’?” Pretty red-haired Irish Nora—I think you have just missed the great secret after all. “A hair, perhaps, divides the false and the true.” “And upon what, prithee, does your life depend?” Catherine, the chambermaid, who was ashamed of her work, and who dared not let her friends know the nature of 'batt! toil lest they t'fist "her aside in scorn—Catherine had no olew’ to The Se cret; of that I am sure. And Nora, for all her w’holesome self-respect, misses The Secret Man's” in her calm acceptance of the probable verdict of the “Vegetable Man’s” world. There is a middle ground, little sisters, between "avariciousness” and ambition—there is a fair chance for us all to win the respect of a world that may be socially above us, but is never above us if we can pronounce the "Open Sesame” of in telligent, earnest striving forward and upwmrd. True Sense of Value. Somewhere among my sisters of toil there is a girl who does her work well, who is proud of the doing, and who has the fearless democracy that will enable her to rise to the place where the in terviewer who conies after me will talk to her and not report that chat as an “Interview With an Unknown."

She could re tain her status independent of her hats. She is a woman of intellect and horse sense. It is all right for climbers to dress up in the latest styles. They have to. But Mrs. Gifford could wear her husband’s hat.” “That is what I thought.” said Mrs Snitzer. “But she has weakened and now she wears a new hat.” ”\ ery well. 1 give up. Do likewise. However, I hope you will not buy a hat that w ill look like an explosion in a hothouse.” "No.” said Mrs. Snitzer. ”1 will not.” “Nor like a scrambled rainbow.” “No.” "Ah, I am much relieved! it’s to be really a hat, then?” “Yes.” “A hat to wear?” “Yes. to kind of wear, you know.” “Yes, I know. It will either conceal one eye and one car or one eye and both cars or both eyes and one ear or both eyes and both ears, or it will be suspended on top of the head and not touch anything.” “No, it will be a hat. and it will look like a hat, and it will have just one little feather sticking up like n question mark, or rather it is a good deal like a sickle or a shepherd’s crook. "The sickle idea Is good. It signifies that the old man gets trimmed. The crook is good, too. The bigger the crook on the hat the bigger the crook the old man has to he to be able to pay for it.
