I T snowed yesterday & wen Pa cairn hoam last nite he was two (2) hours lait 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 1 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 Fail wen the first fall of snow cums, & we have a littel ceiebrashun. They are grand fellows, all of them, sed Pa, & 1 have belonged to the order for yeers. 1 thought you knew about them. No, I dident, sed Ma. Between yure 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 deel in Wisconsin. We think of eech other often in the sum mer, too. Pa sed, but wen the first flurries 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 heeleeve peepu] shud git together moar. I heeleeve in fra ternity. So do I. sed Ma, & and that maiks me think, the Sisters of Song are dimming up to the house ;*tgenn io nite. 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 i,o look kind of blue. I am afrade that will conflick with a engagement I made, he sed. The last thing beefoar I left the Sons of Snow I asked them ail to cum up to the house to-nite. I wanted my wife & littel 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. 1 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 (rends. Then Pa went into the library & lit a seegar A* 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 hare yure shoes hid. Pa talked to me a few minnits, & 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 Mo, the boys did not cum, I knew- thay wuddent cum. The gurls was all here & have went. Cum on, now. deer Son of Snow, sed Ma, & go to yure fleecy bed. ft-wHIS was on a trolley car. where you hoar lots of things! A sweet j 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 I knew right away what was the matter, and I knew that It was AWFUL. Oh, all lovers who are far away from the smile of one another’s eyes, here’s all kinds of wishes wishes that a special letter is starting lover- ward this very night; for fortune that will suddenly, in good humor, twist your destiny so that you may lie where she is and she where you may be; for a private wire to girdle around the world; a lover's line with gold-dusty headed Danny for Central to fire every other folk off. Oh, all good, ijonrl wishes. For when there are two lovers and the two of them make one. and the One is divided into Two—and one half's o*t one coast and the other half is almost on the other—nothing’s right! The sunset is a faded thing. It used to he a heart of flame and feathery fire when she 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—but 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 np 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 conjured himself right here. And then he turns the face of him around—and. oh, ray gracious! how could you ever think a plain chap like that could be the only man In the world\ It IS awful “WHEN YOU 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. A Falk to the Male Jilt By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. CERTAINLY. Dear Miss Fairfax: In keeping company, do you think it ip proper if a girl is about a year older than a young ir.an ? STEADY READER. A year’s difference in age is too little to think about. LET HIM DECIDE. Dear Miss Fairfax: We are two very attractive young girls and have many ad mirers, but bgth 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 w'hlch of u» he loves the more. ANXIOUS. That is something he alone knows and the fact that he is impartial in his attention indicates that his love for both is the safne. 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: I 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. My mother said I should not marry because she Is blind in one eye. J. R. It is not clear to me who is af flicted, the girl or your mother, but in either case it Is no bar to your marriage.

Up-to-Date Jokes When at Brecon the other day the Archbishop of York told this story. He said he would not say anything against Yorkshiremen, 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 native, who had become well- to-do, w.is 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 he remarked: “Don’t you come any of your relig ion on me. The Almighty wouldn’t have trusted me with so much brass if He didn’t think I could keep it!” * * * A well known university professor was lecturing to some students on hy giene some time ago when one of the class from the provinces—asked him how he. the student, could safeguard himself in drinking Croton water.

F R A N C ES L G A RSI D E. 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. I think the cousin knows that I am in love with her, and I know that the other girl is very jealous. What am I going to do about it? EMBARRASSED. MBA BRASSED, well. I 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 time; 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. ai 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 wartts you or your kind anywhere in the. family.
