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! Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

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.” * See This Key?
