to do. writes Beatrice Fairfax in the st.

boris business is usually 80 extremely inter-
esting that 1t seems almost necessary that
you take a hand In It.
Just remember one thing, and that is,
never give your advice until it is asked
for.
All people ask advice, and very few take
it: 80 make up your mind before you give
it tina 1t probably will not be acted upon,
and don't take offense.
Especially don't advise your women
friends regarding their clothes. for every
woman has her own ideas az to what suits
her, and It only initiates her when you
advise her to the contrary.
Never ask a friend where she has been
or where she is going. She may have ex.
cellent reasons for keeping silent on the
subject.
Above all, when you invite a person to
do a certain thing, don't keep on urging
her after she has refused, and driving
her from one excuse to another.
II she Is very anxious to accept YOU
Invitation she will find a way of doing so
or her regret will be so genuine as to con.
vince you OF the sincerity of her excuse.

One OF the chief difficulties In q

Buds Remain Unpickcd.
Chicago matrons high in society are blue
and are widely advertising the fact. Their
signs have been transmitted into linotypes
and put into the press.
According to one despairing mother OF
two d~ebutantes, the eye Of manageable man
no longer lights upon the bud. She may
be pretty. sweet, gentle, lovable-all in adj
dition to her money-but she is passed by.
Masculine approval and masculine pro-
posals go to the more seasoned woman.
This is a masculine wisdom that wise
mothers should exalt instead Of whimper
over, comments the Cleveland Leader. 1t
is not a mothers sole mission in life to get
her daughter married. II is to keep her mar
ried and married happily. Young heads
were not made for worries nor young
shoulders for responsibilities. Yet both
come with marriage.
Experience of the world Is needed to have
success and happiness in the home. Young
girls, flushed with their little triumphs at
school feel a wisdom that they don't pos
sess. They believe they can do the prob
lens OF matrimony quite as easily as those
Of Euclid. A few years Of life in the world,
with its hard knocks and It's gentle ones,
with It's disillusionings, with its broaden
ings, give these sanguine young things a
better line on themselves and the rest of
the universe.
When they get married they do so with
a sensible understanding of the social con-
tract they are making and with a desire,
not born OF frenzy or calf love-" to fulfill
their share Of 1t to the best Of their abili-
ties.
