Advice to the
Lovelorn
The Mistakes of Jennie By hal coffman

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
YOU MUST DECIDE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am In lova with a young man
who lives In the same neighbor
hood and Is of a very high stand
ard. He has told me he loves me
and would like me to heroine his
wife, but as he is a Hebrew and
I am a Christian would like your
advice, for I can not live without
him. G. M. 9.
ThU Is a matter too aerlous for 1
third party to determine. Marriages
of this nature are sometimes happy,
but the risk Is great. When It means
an estrangement from one's family
and friends, I would throw my Influ
ence against It.
BE PERSISTENT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 19 and deeply In love with
a young lady one year my senior.
One day I proposed to her and she
said her parents would not permit
the marriage because of the dif
ference In nationality.
Please let me know what to do,
for I love her.
HEARTBROKEN.
You are too young to marry even ]
though you had their consent, so do i
not feel discouraged. Go on loving
her; attend to your business duties
faithfully; develop yourself mentally,
and don't despair or worry. Make
yourself such a desirable auttor the r
objections will vanish.
DON’T MAKE THE EFFORT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am a girl of IS and In love
with a man one year my senior
We have never k"-* company. He
tells everyone he loves me, but
while he is In my presence I fall
to see it. How may 1 And out If
he Is true to me? I. H.
The man who tells "everyone" he
>ves a girl, and gives her no evidence,
oesn’t love her very much.
Unless you have made mutual vows
f love, he can not be untrue to you.
i man must make vows before he can
ireak them. Do not fr*t yourself
bout him. Time for that when you
re engaged.

CHAPTER XXn.
YOU ARE A LITTLE EXACTING.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 1», and for the past four
months have been keeping steady
company with a young man of HO.
When I ttrst became acquainted with
thia young man he was making a
nice salary, but I told him that If
ha wanted to go with me he must
change his profession, which he did.
therefore starting at the bottom of
the ladder again It Is also under
stood that he will not care to be
married before three years, to which
my parents and myself agree, pro
vided we become engaged In about
a month from now. which ha abso
lutely refuses to do, claiming that
he does not want to become engaged
before next year My parents have
therefore forbidden my going with
him under any other conditions.
Now, do you think that If he real
ly loves me. as he claims he does,
he would allow a matter of a few
months to break our keeping com
pany? The only reason he gives for
not wanting to be engaged Is that
he is making a small salary, but If
I and my folks are satisfied, I don't
see why he should object.
IN DOUBT.
"No, no, my boy; I could not be so selfish.’’
CHAPTER XXV.
A FTER the row Jennie had with the install
ment mau, she still owed $28 for her clothes.
The man had oome for his weekly payment
on the clothes, which Tom had to pay to keep the
man from ltternlly tearing them off Jennie's back,
for Jennie didn’t have the money to pay him, and
If Tom hadn't been there at the time Jennie would
probably have had to do like other girlH have done
in such an emergency—gone out and GOT the
money, never mind HOW.
When Jennie told Tom she still owed $28 for her
clothes—that she foolishly bought and did not
need—Tom left Jennie In the front room, saying he
wanted to go In and talk to her mother a while.
Jennie's mother was lying in lied, and, sick as
she was, managed a cheery smile at seeing Tom
and told him she always regarded him as her boy,
and that she had always hoped that some day he
would marry Jennie. Tom did not toll Jennie’s
mother how much Jennie still owed on her clothes,
for he knew that she had trouble enough without
worrying any more. Instead, he told her that he
had a little money saved up—for the time that
Jennie would consent to marry him—and that he
wanted her to take it and to go down to the tieach
somewhere, take a good rest, get well again and
take Jennie with her.
At this the good woman cried and said over and
over, as she putted Tom's hand:
“No, no, my boy. 1 could not be so selfish as
to take your money that was meant for yours and
Jennie’s happiness.”

Two Birds—One Stone.
Norah had arrived from Erin’s Isle
a week before, and was with difficulty
being ’ broken in” to the routine of an
English household. Cleanliness was not
a very strong point with her, and her
cooking, apart from “spuds,'’ was hardly
all that could be desired.
“If you are not quite sure on any
point, come and ask me at once,” said
her mistress
Dinner was Just about to be served
when there was a clatter along the
hall, and the breathless Norah poked
her head around the dining room door.
“Please, ma'am,’’ she asked, “an’ how
will I be knowln’ when the puddln’ is
done enough?’
“8tlck a knife into it,” said her mis
tress. with a resigned ait “If the knife
comes out clean, the pudding is reedy
to serve.”
“Yes. ma'am,” said Norah; “and I'll
be after that crathur that’s boilin’
over
“And. oh, Norah”—the mistress had
an after-thought—“if the knife does not
come out clean, you might stick all the
rest of the knives into the pudding “
V ANSITTA KT was going to smash.
At least, It looked ominously
like it. Nobody said it openly.
Nominally, nobody was supposed to even
suspect that it was likely. But men
whispered It to one another in the city;
and when men whisper about a thing
it is oftener far more serious than if
they talked about it in their loudest
voices.
“There’s about one chance in a million
for me!’* he told himself, “if the Orien
tal Bank floats. I’m safe; If It closes
down, I’m finished. And it will dose
down unless a miracle happens, and—
Lily will know* that the gods have given
her her revenge!”
Vanslttart’s world would have been
astonished, perhaps cynically amused,
had It seen him now After locking
'he door of his room from the Inside,
to render intrusion impossible, he
opened a secret drawer in his desk by
touching a spring, and took from It a
hurdle of letters and a photograph.
The letters were love letters, and the
photograph that of a girl.
A fair-haired girl, with a pretty fare,
without Vanslttart’s pitiless power, but
brave and patient, with love and faith
in her eyes. And the letters had been
written by a girl to the man to whom
she had given her heart, whose wife
she expected to be.
“By Jove!” muttered Vanslttart, as he
put the letters down, “she’s had to
wait for her revenge, hut It looks as if
Fate is going to give It to her at last.”
It had been an ordinary, common
place story of a man’s selfishness and
falsity and a girl’s outraged trust and
love. Vanslttart had been engaged to

I “I was a cur, a mean cur!” he mut-
j tered. “But it’s too late to think of it
I now If I go down she’ll know. Will
! she be glad, l wonder?”
He tried to laugh, but there was a
; harsh discordance in the sound. Re-
; placing the latters and the photograph
! In the desk, he went out.
He felt he could not sit there waiting
for ruin to come.
There was a man In the city, an
other speculator, named James Harper,
whom Athol Vanslttart had helped many
times, by whose side he had stood in
more than one threatening crisis. Har
per had not the power to save him in
his turn, but Vanslttart felt that he
must talk to someone If something In
hts brain were not to snap.
So he went to him now
Harper wgs a keen-featured man,
with a trick of half curving his Ups
in what promised to be a smile and
never became one. He was alone In his
ofTIce when Vanslttart entered and
grasped his hand cordially.
“You’ve come to talk over things, old
chap?” he said “I’m glad of It. I’d
like to cheer you up. But wait a min
ute.”
He closed the inner door.
“Anything wrong 0 '
“Oh. no; only a new girl I’ve got to
help with my letters, and I don’t want
her to hear too much of our talk. Busi
ness is Jne thing, but a confidential
chat 1 • n friends is another I hope
it's not so bad with you as some fools
are making out?”
‘‘I’m afraid some fools are rather
wise.” returned Vanslttart, grimly. “It
is no use blinking things. I’m done
for if the Oriental closes down.”
Harper’s tone was sympathetic, but
he was pretending to pick up some
thing he had dropped on the floor and
his eyes were very eager.
“Look here, Harper,’’ Vansittard said
wdth an effort; ’T’ve come to you be
cause I believe you’re the only true
friend I’ve got. As I said, I shall pull
through if the bank stands firm. But I
don’t think it can. It’s in a bad way
itself, and If it can’t raise a big loan
practically. at once it will close Its
doors. And if it does that I can’t face
the music.”
“Surely, It’s not so bad as that?”
Very Desperate.
“I tell you it is!” Vansittard an
swered. fiercely. “I shall owe more
than I can pay. 1 shall be disgraced as
well as ruined. But I’m not going to
stop to face it. Harper, If—if anything
happens to me, do your best to prevent
too much mud being thrown on my
name. It’s all you can do.”
There was a threat of self-destruction
In his tense expression, if not on his
lips. Harper knew it, but he did not
endeavor to stop him or to argue with
him. He only gripped his hand once
more, with a few conventional words of
sympathy.
And when Vanslttart had gone Harper
laughed.
Laughed, and then sat considering
and frowning, until he suddenly struck
his hand on his desk with a low,
triumphant exclamation, as though Ue
had hit on a way of accomplishing
something that had seemed impossible
before.
He left his office hastily, and wh«n
he had gone the inner door opened and
there came out a girl, with love and
terror on her colorless face.
It was late before Vanslttart went
home. He had gone back to his office
and waited for news, but none had
come. He left the place at last with a
morbid ^nviction strong on him thai
he woui** never return to it. He hailed
a hansom, but the man ha w .o ask
him twice before he was told where to
drive him.
It seemed to Vanslttart a matter of In
difference where he went. It was not
that he had abandoned all hope. He
clung to the gambler's belief that there
is always a last chance. But he was
too restless and excited to fix his mind
on anything except the new*s he was
waiting for
Ah, w'hat was that?
The Crash.
The street was quiet, all but de
serted. There was a gas lamp oppo
site Vanslttart’s door, and the illumina
tion was gleaming on a pink some
thing It was the placard of an even-
ng newspaper which a hawker was of-
fv ring for sale.
. i© hastened toward It. In bold,
mef iles« letters, the words stared at
him
“FAILURE OF THE
ORIENTAL BANK.”
H bought a paper, oblivious that
he gL a sovereign for it. In the space
reserved for late news were two smudg
ed lines, stating that the Oriental Bank
had closed its doors that evening and
posted a notice outside that they would
not reopen on the morrow.
So it was all over. It was useless to '
hope against hope any longer. His ca
reer was finished. He was a ruined
man, with disgrace awaiting him if he
lived.
He let himself into his house with
a latch key, and went straight to the
library, where he had been in the habit
of working. At first he switched the j
electric light on full, but at once low
ered it to a tiny shimmer. No need of
much light for what he was going to dol
A revolver was ready to hand when
he opened a drawer. There was noth
ing else for him to do.
S O agitated had Mrs. Danforth been
at the news of Mary's break with
Gordon Craig that she lay down
on the couch in the tiny parlor until
the dishes were washed and put away.
This task the daughter performed quick
ly and noiselessly. She was thankful
that her mother had asked no more
questions just then, for she felt that
she had not the courage to reply to
them. Her work done, she glanced
nervously at the clock. It was now a
quarter past eight. Bert Fletcher would
be here soon. She must prepare her
mother for the call. She went Into
the pitrlor and, drawing a chair close
to the couch, took the pale and worn
woman’s hand in hers.
She Started Nervously.
“Mother, dear,” she said. “I think you
ought to go to bed now, for you do not
feel well enough to see company.’*
Mrs. Danforth started nervously.
“Company!” she exclaimed. “Why,
what company could you be expect
ing?”
Mary smiled bitterly at the sugges
tion implied by the question.
“That's true, mother,” she said, a
hard ring in her voice. “I am not trou
bled with friends or guests, am I?
But this evening will be an exception,
for I am expecting a caller—Mr. Fletch
er.”
Her mother sat up and eyed her
keenly. “Mr. Fletcher?” she asked.
“Is he the man who was so nice to
you one evening last winter?” There
was eagerness in the tone, and as she
noted this the girl appreciated that
her loving, gentle mother was actually
anxious to have her marry if it would
mean freedom from care for hersell
and the girl.
“Mary, why don’t you answer me?”
demanded Mr\ Danforth.
Mary started guiltily. “I beg your
pardon, mother,” she said. “Did you
ask me a question? I must have been
absorbed In my own thoughts. What
did you ask, dear?”
“Only if this Mr. Fletcher Is the man
who brought you home one night in a
cab when it was stormy?”
“Yes,” assented Mary, “that is the
man.”
“Well. I remember that you once said
he was very kind,” remarked her moth
er, watching the girl’s face.
“Yes,” said Mary, “he i-s kind—even
if he is not a cultured gentleman anfl
does murder the king’s English. But,
after all, truth and fidelity are more
than education and manners. I have
had enough of men of culture and of
nothing else.” She tried to change her
sharp speech into & laugh that her
mother might not suspect how sore her
heart was.
Mary Remembered.
The widow replied with one of her
sighs, but this time the sound was in
dicative of hope and satisfaction.
“He evidently knows that you are a
lady, and he treats you as if you were.
The Ten Commandments of the
Summer Wife
So he must be something of a gentle
man himself. I am ready to like him if
he is good to you. Oh, my child,” lift
ing one of her daughter’s hands to her
pale lips and holding it there, “nobody,
not even you, knows what I have gone
through in seeing you overworked and
in trying to save and manage here at
home. There have been times when but
for you I would have prayed to die.”
Mary remembered how. less than two
hours ago, she had said to herself: “If
It were not for mother I would want to
die.” But she smiled reassurance into
her mother's face.
“Since we need each other, mother,”
she said, jestingly, “let us both de
termine to live for each other. And
there’s a better time coming for us
both.”
The mother looked at her anxiously.
“You mean that, Mary? You are not
keeping the truth from me or trying to
pacify me by seeming hopeful when
you are not, are you, dear?”
“No, mother,” replied the girl. “I
am speaking the truth when I say that
I believe there is a better time coming
for you.”
She did not add “and for me.” Per
haps she did not think of it.
“I do not like to seem Inquisitive,” I
Mrs. Danforth went on, “but I am won
dering how long ago you broke your en
gagement to Gordon—Mr. Craig, I
mean.”
The girl hesitated a moment before
replying, and she avoided her mother’s
gaze.
“Not so long ago,” she said Indiffer
ently. “You know I always think that
when people find they are not suited
to each other it is best for them to
agree to disagree with as little fuss and
talk as possible.”
There was so much finality In her
manner that the elderly woman ven
tured to say no more about the Tex
an. Yet she was not satisfied, and
soon asked timidly:
“This—this Mr. Fletcher—do you like
him very much, Mary, my dear?”
“I have told you, mother,” said the
girl, “that he is a kind man, and has
been good to me—so why should I not
like him?”
Her mother began another question,
but a ring at the bell checked it.
"Good Night, Dear.”
“Good night, dear,” she said, rising
hastily ana hurrying into her own room.
When the door had closed behind her
mother, Mary stood, her hands over her
eyes. Perhaps she was praying, perhaps
trying to collect her thoughts. But as
the bell sounded forth a second sum
mons she went slowly into the kitchen
and pressed the button releasing the
catch of the lower front door. For an
other minute she stood poised as if now,
at this last moment before her guest's
arrival, she would escape him, would
avoid receiving him. Then, recovering
her self-control and courage, she passed
out into the narrow hall, opened her
front door and stood w’aiting for the
man whose footsteps she heard on the
stairs ascending toward her.

“No. no! Listen to me, Athol. I’ve
come to tell you—I’ve come to tell you
It’s a lie.”
Lily was beside him. struggling with
him to get the revolver away. He star
ed at her stupidly.
“A lie?”
“The placard. The bank was not
stopped. Mr. Harper had the false pla
card and the two lines of false news
put In one copy of the paper. I have
proof of It; I have found the man who
printed It!”
The Plot.
He was hard to convince. But she
told him how she had been In the inner
office while he was talking to Harper,
and how, after he was gone. Harper’s
manner had been so suspicious that she
had followed him to see what he meant
to do. He had gone to a printer. It was
not for a long time after he had left the
shop, however, that she half forced and
half frightened the printer to confess
that Harper had paid him handsomely
to turn out the sham placard and insert
the two lines in toe paper. He had
said it was for a joke, but the girl had
not believed it. She ha<? guessed that he
intended to use the placard and doctored
newspaper to drive Vanslttart to des
peration by leading him to believe that
all was lost.
“So I came here to tell you,” she said.
“I saw you com* in, but you did not see
me. So I had to knock, and when the
servant opened the door I ran past her.
I had seen th€' light flash from the win
dow Into the street, and that helped me
to find my way to you. The placard is
a lie!”
Vanslttart looked at her; there was
T HE most restful way for spending
one’s vacation is to watch one’s
neighbors. If they are idle, it
makes the one on a vacation just in
dignant enough to make his blood cir
culate, and if they are working, the sight
of their labors makes his own idleness
soothing in contrast.
The man who lived next door inter
ested himself with the Lysander John
Appleton family, who were occupying
their summer home. He watched them
the day they moved in: Two women of
regal bearing, a boy with a forehead like
a Mansard roof, and a meek-looking man
who might be a servant, the Appleton
family being an ideal American family.
It was the women who interested the
idle man the moat. They were of such
queenly bearing and had such perfect
figures he longed for the fingers and skill
of a Rodin. “I never.” he murmured,
“saw more perfectly-formed women.”
They entered the house, closed the
door, and for a half hour there was no
outward evidence of occupancy, and then
the man on the side porch saw a woman
emerge from the back door the sight of
whom made him throw back his head
and laugh.
She had a figure like that of a feather-,
bed, and if she had ever had a waist line
it had long ago moved up and become
lost in the foothills of her mountainous
bosom. She shook and quivered as she
walked like a bowl of calves’-foot jelly,
and while he gazed at her in bewilder
ment the door opened again and there
emerged a younger woman so thin that
she looked the same coming as going.
For a week he saw two women with
perfect figures enter and emerge at the
front door, and a feather bed and a bean
pole from which garments drooped like
a flag at half mast emerge and enter at
the back door. Then one evening when
he saw Lysander John sitting alone on
the porch in front he walked across the
lawn and asked for an explanation.
“They are the same women,” said Ly
sander John sadly. “If you are Inter
ested, I will show you the means of the
transformation.”
He led the way upstairs to a dress
ing room where two long, vise-like gar
ments hung over the back of a chair.
“The modern magician’s wand,” he
said, pointing to two corsets.”

A RISE, sister, gird up thy straight
front, put glad raiment upon
thyself and take thy vacation:
yea, take it though thou hast to fight
for it with tooth and nail, for she
that hath wrestled with the robber
that lieth In wait In the butcher shop
and the despoiler who abideth in the
grocery store, and who hath provided
the wherewithal her family is fed
three times a day for three hundred

go it alone. Be not as thjse foolish
wives who say, **I have never been
parted from my husband, and lo,
where he goeth there will I go also,’’
for belike thou hast gotten on thy
husband’s nerves and he would fain
have a rest from thee.
3. Reflect that nine months of the
year can a man rejoice and be ex
ceeding glad to be married. Ten
months can he steel his heart with
fortitude to endure it, but on the
twelfth month he notlceth that his
wife's nose is crooked, and he knock-
eth her cooking. Therefore get thee
hence on the twelfth month, and when
thou shalt return to him he will make
a feast at thy com
ing.

meet thy husband with a glad smile
when he cometh down on the Satur

shall not quake with fear when thou
thinkest of what one of the old cats
who knit pink sweaters in the hotel
lobby may reveal unto him.
