T 0 Continued To
morrow.
I T snowed yesterday & wen Pa
cairn hoam last nite he was two
(2) hours lalt for dinner.
Ware have you been? sed Ma.
With the Sons of the Snow, sed Pa,
my deer old pals. Once I was pure
like the snow, but I fell, sed Pa. Hoo
ray.
Who in the world are the Sons of
Snow? sed Ma.
It Is a jolly bunch of fellows, Pa
sed, that get together onst every Fall
wen the first fall of snow cums, & we
have a Iittel celelirashnn.' They are
grand fellows, all of them, sed Pa, &
I have belonged to the order for yeers.
I thought you knew about them.
No, I dident, sed Ma. Between vure
lodges & yure clubs you are a busy
cup of tea. Well, sed Ma, come now
& eet yure dinner.
Wen Pa was eeting his dinner he
was telling us how he caim to join
the Sons of the Snow. All of the boys
in this order was Wisconsin boys, sed
Pa, & you, of course, know that it
snows a grate dee! in Wisconsin. We
think of eech other often in the sum
mer, too, Pa sed, but wen the first
fluiTies of snow cums out of the hev-
ings, the tellefone gits busy & we all
git together in sum snug tavern and
drive dull care away for three or four
hours, while the Wintry blast is
howling outside.
The snow, the snow, the beautiful
snow, sed Pa. I beeleeve peepul shud
git together raoar. I beeleeve in fra
ternity.
So do I, sed Ma. & and that maiks
me think, the Sisters of Song are
camming up to the house aggenn to
nne. I am glad you are here, for one
of the new members is a famus suf-
raget from England, & she wants to
talk to you about suffrage.
Then Pa began to look kind of blue.
I am afrade that will eonflick with a
engagement I made, he sed. The last
thing beefoar I left the Sons of Snow
I asked them all to cum up to the
house to-nlte. I wanted my wife &
Iittel boy to see my noabel comrades.
I know thay will not be at thare eese
with a suffraget around. Thay hear
all of that thay want to at hoam, sed
Pa.
I doant think any of them will git
here if thay feel as sleepy as you look,
sed Ma. But if thay do cum I am
sure thay will enjoy meeting my
trends.
Then Pa. went in to the library & lit
a seegar & sat down in his big chair
& started to smoak. Pa newer wares
carpet slippers like the married men
wich I have red about that put on
thare slippers wen thay git hoam at
nite. Bobbie. Pa toald me onst, nev-
ver -ware carpet slippers if you git
married & have a hoam. A good sol-
jer shud always be under lite march
ing orders, & maybe you mite want to
beat a retreet on sum winter nite.
You wud newer be abel to git far in
yure carpet slippers. Pa sed, & the
enemy mite have yure shoes hid.
Pa talked to me a few mthntts, &-
then he went to sleep in his chair.
The Sisters of Song caim to visit Ma,
but I shut the doar into the library &
Pa dident wake up. Ma & me let him
sleep until her trends had went hoam,
£- then we woak him up & asked him
ware the Sons of Snow was.
Dident the boys cum? sed Pa.
No, sed Ma, the boys djd not cum I
knew thay wudrie.nt oum. The gurls
was all here & have went. Cum on,
now. deer Son of Snow, sed Ma, & go
to yure fleecy bed
>HIS was on a trolley car. where you hear lots of things! A sweet
little voice—that sounded like it usually used better grammar,
but was so excited that it forgot—piped out right behind my
velvet back: “Ain’t it awful—WHEN YOU’RE HERE AND HE’S
THERE?” And 1 knew right away what was the matter, and I knew
that it was AWFl’l..
Oh. all lovers who are far away from the smile of one another's eyes,
here's ail kinds of wishes—wishes that a special letter is starting lover-
ward this very night; for fortune that will suddeuly, in good humor,
twist your destiny so that you may be where she is and she where you
may be; for a private wire to girdle around the world; a lover's lino
with gold-dusty headed Danny for Central to fire every other folk off.
Oh, all good, yood wishes. For when there are two lovers and the two
of them make oue. and the One is divided into Two- and one half’s
on one coast and the other half is almost on the other -nothing's right!
The suDset is a faded thing. It used to be a heart of flame and feathery
fire when site watched it with you— and now it’s brown—just BROWN !
The end of day used to be “twilight" and the hills turned tender purple
in that short season between night and day- bnt now it just “gets
dark!” You watch the theater go dark at a moving picture show. The
square of Speechless Romance flashes on the screen -the girl in the
picture looks like HER! The passing stranger who hustles by you
on the street makes your heart trip up and hold its breath for a dizzy
moment. It looked like HIM—just, as tall- with a coat belted in—
could it lie that lover of yours himself? This is a station (and it’s a
wild lunatic thought for you got a letter an hour ago and he was clear
across the continent then), but. maybe he has eoujured himself right
here. And then he turns the face of him around—and. oh, my gracious!
how could vou ever think a plain chap like that could be the only man
in the world? It iS awful “WHEN Y-Dl' ARE HERE AND HE IS
THERE.” And one mile might as well be ten thousand and three
thousand feels like two!

Dear Miss Fairfax:
In keeping company, do you
think It is proper if a priri is
about a year older than a younsr
Iran? STEADY READER.
A year's difference In age is too
little to think about.
LET HIM DECIDE.
Dear Mies Fairfax:
Wo are two very attractive
younfc ffirls and have many ad
mirers,. but both of us seem to
be Infatuated with the same
young man. He Is very bashful
and shy, and for that reason we
can not tell which of us he loves
the more. A NX IO I F.
That is something he alone knows
and the fact that he Is Impartial in
his attention indicates that his love
for both is the same. When he learns
his own heart he will make the dis
covery known, and there Is nothing
you can do to hasten the discovery.
THAT IS NO BAR.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
f have been In love with a girl,
for three months. When I asked
her if she would marry me she
said she would marry me next
January, mother said I should
not marry because she is blind
in one eye. J. B.
It Is not clear to me who is af
flicted, the ^irl or your mother, but
in either case It is no bar to your
marriage.
So Changed.
"I gave up smoking to please her."
“Godri!"
"And drinking."
“Well?"
“Now she says she finds me very
uninteresting."
When at Brecon the other day the
Archbishop of York told this story. Vie
said he would not say anything against
Yorkshiromen, but they possessed one
characteristic which might be consid
ered as a virtue or as a defect, accord
ing to the view they took of It. One
Yorkshire nati\e. who had become well
to-do, was asked by some one for a
subscription. He demurred, and was
pressed with the observation:
"But see how you have been pros
pered in your business “ Whereupon
ne remarked:
“Don’t you come any of your rellg
ion on me The Almighty wouldn't have
trusted me with so much brass if He
didn’t think 1 could keep it!"

FRANCES L. GARSIDE
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been calling on a girl
for three years, and now I have
fallen in love with somebody else.
The somebody else is a cousin
who is visiting the other girl. T
think the cousin knows that 1 am
in love with her, and T know that
the other girl is very jealous.
What am T going to do about it?
EMBARRASSED.
MBARRA8SED, well, 1 should
think you would be embarrass
ed. you poor, weak, shilly
shally, dilly-dally creature, you.
For three years you have taken up
this girl's lime; for three years you
have made her believe that you were
in love with her. and now just be
cause her Cousin is new you are ready
to break the other 'girl's heart.
A fine fellow you are. to be sure.
So you think the cousin knows you
are In love with her?
Why don't you tell the truth for
once? You know she knows it, for
you have done everything you could
to make her know it. Be honest now
for a few minutes and admit it.
Every time you’ve had a chance
you’ve given Cousin to understand
that you never really breathed a long
| breath till she "came into your life."
' Poor cousin. I hope she, at least,
has sense enough to see through you
and to estimate your deep and tre
mendous passion at its true value.
Why, you aren't worth a tear—you
aren't worth a sigh- you aren’t even
worth a little crooked quirk of a
smile.
What in the world would any wom
an of any sort of character do with
a poor weakling like you?
Fidelity is the one great virtue a
woman asks of a man and a man de
mands of a woman Without fidelity
you are no more use to any one than
so much straw scattered by every
wind that blows. Run along, little
man, run along. Nobody wants you
or your kind anywhere in the family.
“Eating” the Evidence.
The counsel for the prosecution in
a recent trial had a frightful cold,
and w'hen he rose to make his ap
peal to the jury he had in his hand
a box of lozenges. In the course of
his speech he had occasion to pick
up a pistol bullet, which was a very
important piece of evidence.
"Gediebed," he said, "this is the
bullet egstragded frob the body oh
der bad. Dow. gediebed" he took a
lozenge "id is gontended by the de-
fedse dat der brisoder dever had a
bisdol dat dis bullet would fit, ad
ad ” He stopped suddenly; his
bosom heaved, his eyes seemed
starting from their sockets.
“Ob. gediebed. gediebed!" he cried
in agonized tones; “I’ve swallowed
the bullet.” *
