Advice to the
Lovelorn
i
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
FOR HER SAKE, DO.
p)EAK MISS FAIRFAX;
I am twenty, and deeply In
love with a girl of eighteen.
She told me she loved me, and 1
love her. too, but some way I
doubt her love. The other eve
ning she attended a dance with
a friend of mine after I asked
her not to go. E. S. B.
Your attitude is one of fault
finding. and I not sure that
the giving of your love to a woman
means her happiness.
She says she loves you. Be grate
ful for that much and don't attempt
to control her as if she were a child,
if you can not be that generous. It
will be a kindness to her to transfer
your affections.
DON’T GO TO EXTREMES.
F) EAR MISS FAIRFAX:
^ I am a girl 20 years old. A
few young men would like to
keep steady company with me
but I always refuse because I do
not seem to care for them much.
Do you think I should accept just
the same? 1 am so lonesome be
cause I am always home, while
the other girls have a good time.
LONESOME.
Unless these men are objection
able to you, you must accept an
occasional invitation, for It may be
the means of meeting the man you
will some day love. Don’t get into
the habit of isolation and consequent
lonesomeness. It will grow on you.
FORGET YOURSELF.
T“\ EAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a young man of twenty
and have been keeping company
with a young lady for the pas'
six months. I love this young
lady very much and would be
thankful for your advice on how
to win her. R. M.
Forget yourself In an effort t<
make her happy. Be considerate,
agreeable, persistent; let her know
you love her and are willing to devot*
your life to her.

Moths can be kept away from furs
or clothes by putting a piece of linen
damped in turpentine in drawers or
wardrobes. This should be renewed
onoe or twice during the year. Moths
will never attack carpets and curtains
which have been well sprinkled with
salt.
A small box of brickdust with
cork in it kept at the side of the sink
will be found most useful for taking
stains from knives, cups and all kinds
of china and enamel ware. If at hand
at washing-up time it saves many an
after cleaning.
A good cleaning paste for enameled
baths, zinc pails, etc., is made of equal
parts of shaved yellow soap, whiting
and common soda, dissolved over the
fire in the least possible amount of
water required to keep it from burn
ing.
To hang pictures on a plastered
wall try dipping the nail into cold
water before driving it into the wall.
1 1. will bite into the plaster if this is
done, and will hold a heavy weight
without loosening.

HARE was two ladies up to the
house last nits. Both of them
has daughters wlch is Jest go
ing to git married & that nmiks
them feel kind of love sick them-
selff, 1 guess, beekaus that is all that
thay did all the time thay was to the
house, talk about love. Pa dident
like it a bit, beekaus both of the
ladies was oalder than he is. & 1
have offen herd Pa say that wlinmen
shud talk about other topicks than
love wen thay git middel aged,
topicks like church work or how
much life insurance thare husbands
is going to leave them when thay die.
One of the ladies was naimed
Missus Raymond fv the other was
Missus Belcher. Missus Raymond sed
to Pa:
"Don’t Cry,” Said Ma.
1 was jest telling your wife beefoar
you cairn in the room how sweet &
Innocent gurlish my littel daughter
looked to-day wen she was looking
caver sum prltty material for her
trousseo. The deer littel cherup
seemed so charming and confused
and bewil-deringly pretty that I al
most envied the man that is going
to taik her away from me, sed Missus
Raymond. Then she beegan to cry.
I doant think 1 wud cry if I was
you, deerest, Ma sed to her. Do calm
yurself fk taik cumfurt in thinking
about the pritty hoam that her hus
band is going to malk for her.
Maybe you will be thare a grate deel
of the time. Won’t that be nice &
cumfurtable? Ma sed to her.
It will be pretty tuff corn beef for
her husband, sed Pa. the yung lady’s
husband, I ineen. Wife, sed Pa, I
suppoas you reemember the time yure
loving mother calm here all the way
from Wisconsin A started rite in
trying to be the managing editor of
our littel hoam. Of course, you ree-
inember It, sed Pa. Will you ewer
fergit, sed Pa. the look of pained
surprise that caim into her eyes wen
1 explained to her. as gently as I
cud, that she dldent have anything
In the world to say about man
agernent of my domes tick affair*? If
my memory do sent fall me, Pa sed.
& F do not think it does, she stayed
only three days insted of all summer
You acted like a perfect cave man
all the time ghe was here, I. remem
ber that, sed Ma No wonder m.v poor
mother seldom menshuns you In hef
letters.
But as I was saying about
daughter and Missus Raymond. I cud-
dent help thinking as I sat there &
saw her. a dainty bud with youth’s
fresh blccm on her cheeks, that no
mar, in this wurld was good enuff to
be the husband of so divine a cree-
chur. Of course the man she is go
ing to marry is a splendid yung man
& Is the vice president of a big bank.
But eeven if he were the president
of the united Staits, sed Missus Ray
mond. he wuddent be good enuff for
my daughter. No man is good enuff
for a woman.
Looks for Gray Hairs.
They are good enuff for a woman
around pay day, sed Pa. E have al

says Be sure & come rite hoam after
you git yure pay fo-dav, won’t you,
darling.
I newer do any such thing ,sed Ma,
& I agree with Missus Raymond that
her daughter or aoy sweet, good gurl
is too good for a man.
Oil. my daughter, sed Missus Ray

the sea was coming neerer & merer
to drag my daughter from her motlv

to cry & Pa sneeked out of the room

Silencing the Philosopher.
’Yes,” remarked the philosopher:
‘deafness is indeed a terrible afflic
tion. But in such cases nature, you
know, always provides some compen
sation. At any rate, if a man is
deficient in one sense, he usually has
another abnormally developed. Now,
T once knew a poor blind fellow whose
sense of touch was positively uncan
ny. Really, it served him almost as
well as eyes do a normal man."
"Sure." said the genial Irishman,
who hitherto had taken no part in
the discussion, "an' I’ve noticed that,
tbo! There's a friend of mine, he’s
lame, poor chap, but he can get about
almost as easily as you or I. True,
one of his legs is short, but the other
makes up for it by being three inches
longer!"
’HEY call it “1 LOVE YOU.” The Kings of Babylon and the slaves by
the river sang it with equal fervor. In faery I and they know it. Adam
brought it home to Eve and sang it tirelessly. On the plaintive “uku
lele” of soft-aired Hawaii they have played it since the isles were born. Steel
and iron clad men of the rough days of chivalry caroled it to the maids they
met from the broad backs of their drav horses. Cleopatra whined it in her
honey-sweet voice to dull-witted Antony. In the backwoods of Tennessee they
know it. In the gray, melancholy uplands of wild Thibet rough-haired youths
whisper it to bead-strung slant eyed girls. In the hidden corner of the music
room, screened in spikes of fruit blossoms, a smart young chap hums it to a
girl who never twisted up her own hair in her life, and out in the country, in
an orchard, on the top rail of a gray old worm fence, a boy in a blue “jumper”
chants it to a girl in a pink sunbonnet shading her sun-browned cheeks. Oh,
it s a popular song—everybody knows it and everybody always did know it
WITHIN THE LAW
A Powerful Story of
Adventure, Infringe and Love
Some Revenge.
Farmer (to horse dealer)- No. I
don't bear ye no malice: I only hope
that when you’re chased by a pack
of ravening wolves you'll be drivin'
that horse you sold me.
“W’
HAT I would like to ask,”
writes Rebecca, “is why it
is better for a girl to asso
ciate with a bashful boy. On several
occasions I have noticed that you
state that a girl should honor such a
young man, but you have never stated
why."
The qualities In a bashful boy which
make him a welcome suitor are more
of a negative nature than of a posi
tive. It Is not that which he does, so
much as that which he does not do.
His sins arc of omission and they are
small compared with the sins of com
mission of his bolder brother.
The bashful boy doesn't flirt. With
a tongue that halts and stammers,
and a tell-tale color that is quicker
than the blush of a young girl to
proclaim his dishonesty did he attempt
to he dishonest, he Is not an adept at
hypocrisy or concealment.
He is not a dandy. Neither is he a
lady's man, and, my dear Rebecca, the
presidents of hanks and railroads, the
powers in commercial life, the most
prefound thinkers and the men of
letters the world honors, were never
ladies’ men.
His Hands.
He does nor know what to do
with his hands when out hi society,
but his employer will tell you he knows
good use fry; them when at work.
Afraid cf girls he Is forced to seek
companionship in books and boys.
The fear of girls gives him a respect for
them which is wholesome; the com
panionship of boys gives him the out
door exercise every young man needs.
He needs this tiring of every muscle,
not alone for the results that are phys
ical. but for moral returns. You are
not too young, my dear, to know that
the wolf that has been racing furiously
up and down hill all day feels at night
only the cry of tired limbs and aching
muscles begging for rest. He is ixn
the wolf that goes seeking an opening
to break Into the sheepfold!
If a bashful boy loves a girl It is
with a sense of humility and his own
unworthiness. He knows that he is the
one who will be honored if his love is
returned; his bolder brother has a faint
suspicion, which the homage of sills'
girls confirms, that it is the girl who
should be on her knees.
A Safe Way.
During his calf days he does all his
signing for love’s sake at a distanoe.
B*'hich mothers will agree Is the only
safe and sane way for young girls tp
bo loved.
He is always a good listener—no
weman was ever bored to death by the
talking of a bashful man.
Saving little, he says little for whioh
he or others have cause for regret. He
is a safe depository for secrets, a good
man In whom to have confidence. Tf
he Is not a girl’s lover the next best
thing that could happen her would be to
have him for a brother or a friend.
His compliments are not practiced,
and are therefore sincere. When It
takes effort and stupendous courage
to hand a modest little flower to a girl,
it follows that he will never throw bou
quets at the head of every woman he
meets. f
Best of all. Rebecca, the bashful boy
Is a home boy. He Is unafraid when
with nls mother and finds in her com
panionship the delight less bashful boys
seek from home.
He is "a good boy’” in the sweet old-
fashioned sense, a boy who has escaped
contamination a few years later than
it comes to boys more bold.

“I guess we can find a way . to have
the marriage annulled, or whatever they
do to marriages that don’t take."
The brutal assurance of the man in
thus referring to things that were sacred
moved Dick to wrath.
“Don’t you interfere," he said. His
words were spoken softly but tensely.
Nevertheless. Burke held to the topic,
but an indefinable change in his manner

rendered it less offensive to the young
man.
“Interfere! Huh!" he ejaculated, grin
ning broadly. “Why, that’s what I’m
paid to do. Listen to me, son. The
minute y ou begin mixing up with crooks,
you ain't in a position to give orders
to any one. The crooks have got no
rights in the eyes of the police, .lust
remember that."
He Was Not Listening.
The Tnspector spoke the simple truth
as he knew it from years of experience.
The theory of the law is that a presump
tion of innocence exists until the ac
cused is proven guilty. But the police
are out of sympathy with such finical
methods. With them, the crook is pre
sumed guilty at the outset of whatever
may be charged against him If need
be. there will be proof a-plenty against
him—of the sort that the underworld
knows to its sorrow.
But Dick was not listening. His
thoughts were again wholly with the
woman he loved, who, as the Inspector
declared, had fled from him.
“Where’s she gone In Chicago?"
Burke answered in his usual gruff
fashion, but with a note of kindliness
that was not without its effect on Dick.
“I’m no mind reader.” he said. "But
she’s a swell little girl, all right I've
got to hand it to her for that. So, she'll
probably stop at the Blackstone- that is.
until the Chicago police are tipped off
that she is in town."
Of a sudden, the face of the young
man took on a totally different expres
sion. Where before had been anger, now
was a vivid eagerness. He went close
to the Inspector, and spoke with Intense
seriousness.
“Burke." he said, pleadingly, “give
j me a chance. I’ll leave for Chicago in
the morning. Give me twenty-four hours’
start before you begin hounding her."
The Inspector regarded the speaker
searchingly. His heavy face was drawn
in an expression of apparent doubt. Ab- ^

ruptly, then, he smiled acquiescence.
"Seems reasonable." he admitted.
But the father strode to his son.
"No. no. Dick.’’ he cried. “You shall
not go. You shall not go."
Burke, however, shook his h«ad in re
monstrance against Gilder's plea. His
huge voice came booming, weightily im
pressive
“Why not?" he questioned. "It's a
fair gamble. And. besides, I like the
boy’s nerve."
Dick seized on the admission eagerly.
‘ And you’ll agree?" he cried.
“Yes, I’ll agree." the Inspector an
swered.
"Thank you," Dick said quietly.
But the father was not content. On
the contrary, he went toward the two
hurriedly, with a gesture of reproval.
“You shall not go, Dick," he declared,
impetuously.
The Inspector shot a-word of warning
to Gilder in an aside that Dick could
not hear.
"Keep still," he replied. “It’s all
right.”
Dick went on speaking with a seri
ousness suited to the magnitude of his
interests.
"You give me your word. Inspector."
he said, “that yqu won’t notify the po
lice in Chicago until I’ve been there
twenty-four hours?"
‘ ‘ I Don t Like It. ’ ’
“You’re on.’’ Burke replied genially.
"They won't get a whisper out of me
until the time is up." He swung about
to face the father, and there was a com
plete change in his manner. "Now. then,
Mr. Gilder." he said briskly, “T want to
talk to you about another little mat
ter' ”
Dick caught the suggestion, and in
terrupted quickly.
"Then I’ll go." He smiled rather
wanly at his father. “You know. Dad.
I’m sorry, but I’ve got to do what I
think is the right thing."
Burke helped to save the situation ||
from the growing tenseness.
"Sure." he cried heartily; "sure you
have: That's the best any of us can
do." He watched keenly as the young
don't like it.”
Burke slapped his leg with an enthu
siasm that might have, broken a weaker
member.
"Best thing that could have hap
pened!" he vociferated. And then, as
Gilder regarded him In astonishment, he
added, chuckling “You see. he won't
find her there."
“Why do you think rhaf.?” Gilder de
manded. greatly puzzled x
Burke permitted himself the luxury, of
laughing appreciatively a moment more
before making his explanation. Then he
said quietly:
