marriage be set aside. The troupe which
Mr.. Hirschfeld carries with hlm Is quite
extensive, and from the patronage the
attraction is receiving, I should Judge
they give a very good performance.
They carry special scenery, and some
quite handsome costumes, and the
play promises to have a run of a week or
30. There are several other persons in
Fargo, who are eager to get on the
boards as soon as possible, and coming
attractions in the divorce line are quite
numerous. In fact, Fargo is becoming
quite a Mecca for the unhappily married
and the grind of the divorce mill is
neither slow nor exceeding small.
For the past few weeks, I have been
receiving daily, numerous queries as to
questions of politics, social propriety,
finance, ancient, medieval and modern
history, cooking, washing, canning fruit
removing grease spots, killing insects of
all classes, agriculture, veterinary sur
gerry, religion, and many other current
topics. Up to the present time, the
pressure of business under which | have
labored, has been so great that 1 have
been unable to attend to the thirst of
my readers for knowledge, but today, I
have given up almost entirely to those
of my readers who are eagerto engage in
personal communication with me. Be-
low, I have grouped together answers to
a number of what have appeared to me
to be the most pressing of the inquiries,
The others, I shall be forced to delay
until some timenext week. Some of the
answers which I have prepared may
seem somewhat brief and lacking in
cordially and warmth of feeling, but my
readers must bear with me, until I be.

SILLY X.-No, Silly, it is not au fait to
chew gum in church. The custom of chew
ing gum is now properly confined to funer-
ais and commencement exercises, and while
your gentleman friend may have pur-
chased gum for you, and assured you that
it is all right, 1 should advise you not to
trust him. Even though he may chew to-
baccO during the sermon, that does not es.

If you feel as though you must do some

cheese with you in your shopping bag.
BELINDA G.-The increased speed and
apparent p%reoccupation of your escort
while passing the oyster parlor was prob
ably due to the fact that he had spent his
last half dollar to get you reserved seats at
the theater. 1t it happens again, [ should
advise you to compromise upon some
cheaper seats.
MELISSA RIO remove ink stains from
your white silk gown, secure an ordinary
hand-saW, and saw out the soiled portion
of the dress, wiping the saw blade care
fully with leaf lard or bacon rind before
hand. Then hang the dress up carefully
in your wardrobe, and at the first favorable
opportunity throw it out of your back win
dow into the ash-pile, being careful your
mother does not see you.
FLORA Y.-If the young man brought as
much mud as you say into the parlor with
him, it would not have been proper for Won
to have excused yourself in the course of
his call and to have secured a shovel and
removed the debris. 1t was entirely right
for you to wait until he had gone before dis
injecting the apartment. In future, however.
l should advise you to wear your wash-day
dress and receive him in the wood shed. IF
he IS at all quick he will understand the
meaning of this reception and will wine
his feet when he comes to call.
SALLY S.-No, Sally, it was altogether
wrong for you, when dining at your friends
home, to ask if the cook had tried Ayers,
hair vlgor, upon discovering the fringe
upon the butter. The proper thing to have
done would have been to say you seldom
ate butter, at the same time placing the
cream pitcher so as to cast the butter dish
into the shade. After the meal it would have
been altogether proper for you to have s,e-
gested to your friend that the butter he
carefully combed before each meal.

EsTELLE M.-If you feel certain Won

genius, and that all you need is practice To
make you one Of the worlds most O
ed actresses, begin by getting your hand
in on the wash-tub, the fat-iron. and the
clothes-line, and serve an apprenticeship
in your local hotel. This will enable Won
to make a living, and may come handy in
your brilliant career later on. If. how
ever, you feel that you must tread the
boards, try the ironing-board or bread
board first.
MIKANDA-1f you really love your be-
trothed, on no account betray to him the
horrid secret that you have aided vour
mother at the wash-tub, or that you have
ever kneaded a batch of bread. Keep these
narrowing secrets from him at all events.
