I am twenty, and deeply in
love with a Kiri of eighteen.
She told me she loved me, and I
love her, too. but some wav I
doubt her love. The other eve

a friend of mine after 1 asked
her not to go. E. S. R.
Your attitude is one of fault
finding. and 1 not sure that
the giving of your love to a woman
means her happiness.
fhe says she loves you. Be grate-
f ll for that much and don't attempt
t ■•control her as if she were a child.
1. you can not be that generous, it
wilt be a kindness to her to transfer
your affections.
DON’T GO TO EXTREMES.
HEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
J J I am a girl 20 years old. A
te\> young men would like to
keep steady company with me
■* hut 1 always refuse because I do
not seem to care for them much.
On you think I should accept just
the same? I so lonesome be
cause I am always home, while
the other girls have a good time.
LONESOME.
I'nless theqc 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
tin* habit of isolation and consequent
lonesomencss. 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 youi^elf in an effort to
make her happy. Be considerate,
agreeable, persistent; let her know
you love her and are willing to devote
your life to her.
Household Suggestions
Moths can be kept away from furs
or clothes by putting a piece of linen
damped in turpentine in - rawrrs or
wardrobes. This should be renewed
once or twice during the year. Moths
will never attack carpets and curtains
which have been well sprinkled with
*ait.
A small box of brickdurt with a
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
u 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.
It will bite into the plaster if this is
done, and will hold a heavy weight
without loosening.

The Bashful Boy

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,
too! 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 ‘‘I LOVE YOU.” The Kings nf Babylon and the slaves by
the river sang it with equal fervor. In faervland 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 horn. Steel
and iron clad men of the rough days of chivalry caroled it to the maids they
met from the broad hacks of their dray horses. Cleopatra whined it in her
honev-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 checks. Oh.

TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT.
“I guess we can find a way to have
the marriage annulled, or whatever the.'
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,charge in his manner

“Interfere! Huh!" he ejaculated, grin
ning broadly. “Why, that’s what I’m
paid to do. Listen to me, son. The
minute you 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. Just
remember that.”
He Was Not Listening.
The Inspector spoke the simple truth
as he knew it from year# of experience.
The theory of the law is that a presump
tion of innocence exists until the ac
cused is proven guilty. But tlie 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 j
she’s a sw’ell little girl, all right. I’ve I
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 | f) , eto change in b
was a vivid eagerness. He went close
to the Inspector, and spoke with intense
seriousness.
“Burke,’' he said, pleadingly, “give
ruptly, then, he smiled acquiescence.
“Seems reasonable." he admitted.
But the father strode to his son.
“No, no, Dick," he cried. “You shall
not g<*. You shall not go."
Burke, however, shook his head 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. 1 like the
boy’s nerve."
Dick seized on tlie admission eagerly.
“And you’ll agree?" he cried.
“Yes, I'll agTee." 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, b he declared,
impetuously.
Tlie 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 wont on speaking with a seri
ousness suited to the magnitude of his
interests ,
“You give me your word. Inspector,"
he said, "that you won’t notify the po
lice in Chicago until I’ve been there
twenty-four hours?"
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 that?” Gilder de
manded. greatly puzzled.
Burke permitted himself the luxury of
laughing appreciatively a moment more
before making his explanation. Then he
said quietly:

HAT 1 would like to ask,"
rites 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 holder 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 be 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 banks and railroads, the
powers in commercial life, the most
profound thinkers and the men of
letters the world honors. • were never
ladies' men.
His Hands.
He does noi know what to do
with his hands when out in society,
but his employer will tell you he knows
good use for them when at work.
Afraid ( f 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 not
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 wlli be honored if his love 1s
returned; his bolder brother has a faint
suspicion, which the homage of silly
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 distance,
which mothers will agree is the only
safe and sane way for young girls to
bo loved.
He is always a good listener no
woman was ever bored to death by (he
talking of a bashful man
Saving little, he says little for which
he or others have cause for regret. He
is a safe depository for secrets, a good
man in whom to have confidence. If
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.
Best of all, Rebecca, the bashful boy
Is a home boy. He Is unafraid when
with his 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 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 eorn-
manner. “Now. then.
