Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
LET YOUR PARENTS DECIDE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been keeping company
with a young man seven months.
We love each other dearly, and
have agreed to marry . His pa
rents have consented, but mine
refuee on account of his national
ity. What would you advise me
to do? D. K.
For the present let your parents
control the situation. You do not give
your age, but you owe obedience to
their wishes and consideration, no
matter how old you are.
I am sure if you will consider their
desires they will be fair enough to
consider yours.
CERTAINLY,
Dear Miss Fairfax:
The other day 1 was in a music
store waiting for mother. Soon an
old school acquaintance came in
for some music. He asked me to
have a sundea with him. I had
known him only a short time, but
he had made himself quite friend
ly. He was a good friend of my
brother. Was it proper to ac
cept? PERPLEXED.
He offered yoil only a friendly cour
tesy. and It would have been squeam
ishness to refuse.
WAIT A FEW YEARS.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 19 and am in love with a
girl two years older. I have been
going with her for the past 'year
and she informed me that her pa
rents dislike me on account of me
not being from the country. Kind
ly let me know what to do in this
matter, as I like the girl and my
love is returned. A. W.
Their objection Is not very serious
for the reason that If they gave their
consent, marriage, for a boy of 19, is
out of the question You will be
young enough to marry when you are
23 or more. In the meantime, de
vote yourself so zealously to making
a man of yourself and be so faith
ful to your love that their objections
will be overcome
FORGIVE HIM THIS ONCE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 19 years old and I am in
love W'ith a young man two years
my senior.
I have never allowed him to
kiss me. but he kissed me un
awares the other night.
Should I drop him or grant his
pardon? KATH.
lam glad it was unawares. 1 don't
want you to kiss hint until you are
engaged.
Forgive him, but don't grant him
pardon so lightly. He will feel free
to offend again.

Oh, Joy that comes and may not stay,
Shall I then curse thee for thy
going?
Does dismal night make happy day
Less worthy of the knowing?
Oh. Day that comes and may not bide.
Must all light fail when thou art
going?
Aft°r thy death at eventide
Will night-time stars be glowing?
Oh. Joy’ Oh. Day! that might not
stay.
Far in the East new dawn is glow
ing;
There needs must be another day
The other joy I shall be knowing.

Maiden Meditations.
If a woman is as old as she looks
before breakfast, a man’s disposition
is much as it appears at the same
meal.
When a woman really begins to
criticise herself the result would sat
isfy her worst enemy; when a man
puts himself on trial the verdict is
usually for the defendant
Nothing seems more delightful to
most of "Vs Girls” than to look so
adorable that Mister Man wants to
kiss us and then scold him roundly
for his impudence.
Don’t be a martyr—they never were
popular, and burning at the stake
used to be a favorite way of dispos
ing of them.

Wonder What He Got.
"Sure, Casey was a fine fellow."
"He was that. A fine fellow, Casey.”
"And a cheerful man.”
”A cheerful man was Casey—the
man 1 ever knew.”
“Casey was <t generous man. too.”
. •‘Generous, you my. Well, I don’t
know so much about that. Did Casey
ever buy you anything?”
“Well, nearly. One day he came
into Flaherty’s barroom, where me
and my friends were drinking, and
he said to us: "Well. men. what are
we going to have —rain or snow?’"

■:■ THE LION’S MISTAKE
IT was the only water for very many 1
miles around Indeed, so far that
many animals were obliged to jour
ney ten miles to it from out on the
plains You would nut hav<- considered
it very tempting Nor should I. It
looked like pale coffee as much as any
thing But it was water, and there
was no other. When you came to re
member that the heat out in the open j
at midday was such that had you gone
out without a sun helmet, sunstroke
would have smitten you in a very short
time, you can grasp, perhaps, more
fully what the water really meant to the
swarming wild folk of the region.
This day, however, something was .
very much wrong <)f course, with iis 1
partly surrounding cover of giant, i
spreading, euphorbia trees that looked
like great candelabra and bacbab trees
all matted together with vast vines j

trees and dense masses of wait-a-bit

a safe drinking place That was not ,
the point, however The fact was evi- ;
dent that before the animals, both sin- *
gly ami in large herds, had risked it. ;
whereas to-day thej would nut do so
on any account.
Nevertheless the\ wanted to drink
All about on the plain, and under the
shade of the euphorbias ami mimosas,
you could see them gathered, these
thirsty ones. Here was a herd of beau
tiful striped zebras: there a herd of that
odd, long-necked antelope, the harte- ;
beest. farther off n pat ty of quaint gnus,
looking like miniature buffaloes, loafed j
together with drooping heads, and one I
herd was made up of might', long
necked giraffes
Ixiter. just as the light rain began to j
fall, a t’emor seemed to run through all |
these gathereq herds A lion in some ■
rocks about a mile away began roaring.
It was an awful sound, that deep suc
cession of low. coughing mighty grunts,
booming out across the siien* plain.
Every third night that lion had lain in
ambush there by the water and had I
levied the terrible tax of the king of the
African wild—one antelope or zebra life
to appease his hunger And this was
the third night from his last "kill." lie

the strain. Day by day the elbows grow nearer —more supple—they
accommodate and strengthen themselves to this ne*. surprising effort.
So the man's talent grows more supple—answers 'Tight up" to his

He drives sundered people back into one another’s lives. Drives
under the great impulse of tenderness For hla sake the man steps
over the busy ant on the pavement. Thinking of him, the woman
feeds a forlorn kitten and scops to tip a carriage top between the sun
and the eyes of a stranger’s baby. Through him ancient feuds have
I his toll. No wonder the assembled herd ’
trembled.
Then the moon came up. and the lion
left off roaring. Instantly the waiting
| herd were on the alert, and began to
1 move away from cover. They knew that
a lion does his hunting in silence, and
that when roaring he is not acfualh
dangerous Directly the king of the
w ild was dumb, however, it was a case
of look out all. No beast knew where,
under cov» r of the night, he would turn

Pollowing upon that, for no less than
I two hours not a sound broke the still

- and he needed money because of this DRIVER. And, oddly enough,
men have drawn out the greatest and the sweetest of themselves
under a lash.
This picture—until you think —seems something too mild and
Paradisal and blissful to show the driver of all relentless drivers at
work. But a toy harness is all he SEEMS to use. Knit close to one
another, they never KNOW they are driven. Their way is sometimes
pretty rough, but It SEEMS to stand lovely around them painted by
the hand of the joys they know. And his spurring-cry is the babyish
word “GIDDAP!" So the picture seems to tell the story—to me.
