NOT A MODERN MAID
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX:

Of the rights of a lower servant, in the
family OF any relative.
She has her home her friends her
position in business and social life.
When she is bored with her own com
pany. she has the privilege Of seeking
others.
Few are care-free in this world. The
Lord didn't intend any one should be,
out the splnster comes as near 10 be-
ing care-free as any human being can
come. She is happy, with II all, and
usually deVOtes much energy and time
to making others happy.
You are afraid, my dear girl, that
sou may reach the uncertain age which
means the dividing line between maid
hood and spinSterdOm; YOU are afraid
that some day You may become one Of
helpful old maids This fear causes
YOU to remain engaged for four years
10 man YOU do not love; whose com
pany you can not enjoy, and who bOres
you.
II he bores YOU before marriage.
when there is bound TO be some illus
ion, what Will your life be after you
are his wife, and all Illusion has been
dispeIed2
Ny dear girl. you couldn't make a
more serious mistake than marrying a
man toward whom you sustain such
feeling You are WrOnging him to let
the engagement continue, and You are
wronging yourself
Content With Half.
He has been faithful and true to
half-hearted love for four years, and
deserves something better than the be-
lated truth you owe him. He has been
so determined to win you, that he has
let YOU see he would be content with
half a loaf Of love If he can not get the
whole.
Doubtless he is a good man. as you
say Humility is a characteristic of
goodness. But if he had been less pa
uent. more dOmineering, and more Of 4
man and less of sheep. / am sure ne
could have won your whole heart.
When you suggested YOU were un-
suited, he should have given you the
right to your belief, and transferred
his slave-like devotion elsewhere
When YOU have let him see, which I
do not doubt YOU have, your absorbing
fear of dying an old maid he should
have been man enough to refuse to
marry any girl so Old-fashioned foolish. {
He owes something to himself. He
owes IL TO himself TO be no WOman's
husband, when that woman marries 7
him for no other reason than that he 7.
opens way to escape spinsterhOOd.
You viii not wreck his life if YOU
break the engagement He has been
engaged TO YOU so long. being engaged /
has become a sort of habit, and while /
II hurts to break established habits the /
hurt doesn't last long.
Break the engagement, and try To I

In this interesting lecture Mr..
TtathNan says:
Attempting to get the mastery Of
fear and worry by will-power alone is
like trying to beat back the ocean
with a baseball bat, or trying to chase
clouds away with a broom. You can
not get rid Of them by fighting them,
but you can readily get out Of their
reach by Using higher. The wave If
fear and the mists of worry do not ex-
lend INV ards, and If you will but
climb to the hilltop Of selflessness
where Love stands waiting to welcome
you with o~utstretched hands. you will
no longer he buffeted by fear or be.
logged by worry. For centuries st.
John has been telling this to the world
in these words. Perfect love castcth
out fear"
