LET YOUR HEART DECIDE.
| )i:AU MISS FAIRFAX:
1 ' I am keeping company with a
young nmn who claims he loves
mi* clearly. He? is now out of town
and huN asked me to stay away
from uinuRement places until he
returns; especially dances. Now.
what 1 want to know is whether
or not I shall do so, for I have
many offers to go with other
young men to dances. S. (i. II.
He Is not very considerate
a widow becomes ammunition, anti
those who give her this ammunition
do it uncotifcciouuly. Little anecdote?
of the ambitions, hobbies and pceul-
iaritifs of friends*, and all their pot
pride ’, and prejudices, when told to a
Spin, serve < lily for the purpose o!
entertainment.
When told to a widow, they become
tinder, matches and powder, and she
stores them carefully to us< when toe
game comes within range.
“I have been so interested," ►'he ►aid,
turning her eyes fondly on Jack Spen
cer, “in your collection of scimitars
and the wonderful history that at
taches. Do tell m ho\v you became
interested in anything quite so t Drill -
to busini
mornings, but
he is always cold. I feel that he
likes me but he is afraid to say
anything. He never asks me to
go out with him directly. He al-
way - says the four of us will go.
which means his cousin and his
lady friend (cousin’s) and T.
If he cared for you he would make
an opportunity to see you alone. He
never would insist that there be oth
ers in the party. You are only cigh
teen and hearts soon recover at that
age. Make up your mind you don't
care for him.
M arch lM. When the wrongs oi
this miserable old world are
finally righted, and the slaves,
who now ride around in automo
biles from pink teas to matinees,
emerge from inglorious serfdom to
exercise the sacred and inalienable
right of casting « vote for dog
catcher and coroner; when, in brief,
woman is emancipated, I hope to
have the privilege of .Taking one lit
tle suggestion.
True, it will be a faint squeak,
Rke that of a dying mouse, and J
« an not hope that it will be heard ex
cept by other male mice who have
been driven to their holes and whose
final squeaks are as faint, but 1 must
make it nevertheless.
It is the hope that when the women
take charge of the Government pie
, ounter. they hand out the Ambassa
dorship |;ie to such clever representa
tives of their sex as Mrs. Jack Spen
cer and The Widow. Such tact, such
grace, sucji diplomacy, such oil! What
a pity it was devoted to such a trifling
object as one mere man!
When they faced each other that
night in the station each carried a
dagger in the hand she extended so
cordially to the other. Each took
silent measure of tin* other’s wit and
beauty and skill with eyes that ex-

but that is the manner in which many
a man proves his love. He really
has no right to make this demand;
only an engagement would give him
this right.
This leaves the decision solely with
you. You must ask yourself which
is worth more, his love or going to
dances with other men.
RESPECT HER WISHES
I \ i:\lt MISS FAIRFAX:
* f have lion going with a girl
for fix months and have been on
gaged to her for about a month ami
a half, and when we go out evenings
1 have, many times, offered to assist
her in putting on her gloves, and* she
seems to take offense at this. I
have never acted as though I meant
it as a careen, but only as assist-
ant e. Who is right, she or I?
A TRUE LOVER
The girl is right. She needs no as
sistaiice In putting on her gloves
Save ail that excess gallantry for the
time when she; will really need your
help, after you are married.
That just sruited Jack, and the
recital of the source of his collection
became n matter of absorbing interest 1
to the widow’. Ilut she would have been
interested had hi?'hobby been tadpoles.
We were at the table two hours, cud'
within that time 1 did not get live
words in the talk, and Airs. Spencer;
did little better. I will confess. Diurv. j
that I took a sneaking joy in the re- j
flection that it served her right.
•If a woman knowingly takes liei
husband in the presence of a widow
like Mrs. Brown, she may expect just
such result?. “I’m a Married Man,"
when pinned on a man’s coat, may
cause Spins to take the other side of
tlic street, but it attracts the widows.
And that is the way it always is; a,
danger sign to a Spin becomes an in
vitation to the worn-iu who has low a
husband either in the court house or
cemetery.
Mrs. Brown had heard me casuallv
remark that scimhars were Jack
Spencer’s fad. 1 didn't know I was
giving her ammunition. But then I
confess it. i never knew anythin?;
when 1 was with the Widow.
He Gets It.
1 have hi" n with her many times
alone when htr hand has been within
easv reach, and 1 have never had any
desire to squeeze 1 it. but that .evening
at the table when >!ie talked so inces
santly to Jack Bpencer. I felt that I
had to get hold v.t her hand or die. I
watched my chance, and when she
rested it on hci lap, with her face
turned toward Jack. I reached my
hand over and caught hers.
Did she repulse me? Not for a mo
ment? She looked at Jack with a par
ticularly sweet expression telling him
a lot about scimitars which In never
knew (I imagine she had read up on
them for just such an occasion), and
giving my hand the most affectionate
squeeze all the while.
“My wife." I heard Jack ?av. rathe,
reproachfully, looking across the table
ut iier. “has. never been interested in
scimitars. She thinks I am foolish
THEY ARE RIGHT.

For the answer to these questions I
