Eliz heth Freeman and the English Militants Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX A Bachelor’s Diary By MAX. By LILIAN LAUFERTY 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- \ I ..MOST dairy from across the water there comes the story of new move in the campaign of b • .ruction planned by the Militant Suffragist; 1 .

The Bishop of Lincoln, although himself a Suffragist, has ex on -»d himself against the Afi'lta..; CROWN OLONlfS f you, 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. I )EAR MISS FAIRFAX ' ' I am a young girl of seven teen, and was introduced to a young nmn, who said he cares for me very much. He is very re fined In all his ways and has a good position. But my girl friends all tell me not to meet him be cause I'm too young, but I care (OT him .Hid hale h* pari. LONESOME. You are loo young to form any se rious heart entanglements. If be really cares for you he will not regard a year's delay in courting you as a final parting. Talk it over sensibly with him.
