HIS AFFLICTloN NO BAR.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear MISS Fall1aN:
| am nineteen and became ac-
quainted with man of thirty-four
with whom | fell in love. He Is at
present employed in a large office
and gets Il fair salary, but his right
hand is amputated. | think the
world of him.
All my friends tease me and ask
why such a good looking girl should
fall in love with man who is af-
flicted like this.
I am the first born child, also
the only girl i'm the family, and my
parents are strongly against my
meeting him. WORRIED.
If he has lost a hand, but has a Who'll,
heart, a clean record and bright mind
his afhiction should be no bar.
If your parents objections are baset
solely on his crippled condition. they
are neither fair nor charitable Blu
make sure they have no other objec.
lions before you beg for their blessing
and approval

Dear Miss Fairfax
I APP a girl twenty-five years
Old and for the past eight months
have been going with a man about
seven years my senior. All during
this time he has made love to me
says he loves me, and only me, bet
ter than anything else IN the world.
He also knows that | love him.
Right after he has been to see me
! find he attends the club" a good
deal. Sometimes he goes as long
as ten days without calling me up,
or asking to come out. He acts as
though he is ASHAMED of something.
Then when he comes back he says
that he has been thinking of me all
the time and that l am the only one
he loves. He has never asked me to
marry him.
Some time ago I had intended

WYE are told from childhood ur

Heaven help us if We confine our les
sons in life to Instructions from those
whose years are more. for we will miss
the more valuable teachings of child
hood
Notice the little children in their
play One has a dolls go-cart: If it
has three wheels or four makes no diff
ference to the happiness of the owner.
Another has a battered doll another
the remnants of a china toy tea set,
and another drags a discarded starch
box, which is to be the banquet table.
They do not throw these precious be-
longings away and stare sourly and
enviously at a child who has been ia
vored with more. The knowledge that
the child In the next yard has a new
doll that cries and winl1s a real little

dishes, makes their joy none the less.

ton see the cream pitcher on the table,
Given powers of imagery a poet may
we'll envy, they behold With the eye OF
the mind all that their little hearts de-
sire and are happy.
A Valuable Lesson.
They play like" the kitchen aprons
they drape around their waists are
long velvet trains; they play like" the
crackers they serve on their broken
dishes are ice cream and cake and they
play like" everything broken and old is
whole and new. and their ability to
play like" this from morning TO night
has a lesson more valuable than we
could learn from the oldest and wisest
seer.
We must learn from childhood to
cover defects with the beauties OF
Imagination.
We must learn when compelled to
wear q suit a season too long to play
like" it is new; we must play liks''
everything old and worn and sordfd is
beautiful and just what we like. We
must be children again, and find the
power of happiness lies not in material
possessions but in the possession Of an
optimistic Imagination.
There Is no other way to be happy.

You've heard a woman say:


This waist has worn terribly. I've
onl y washed it a couple of times and it's
falling to pieces.
Clothes cost too much nowadays to be
worn out in the wash,-to be boiled and
scalded until the life is gone out of the
fabric-and then rubbed to shreds on the
washboard.
You must use the soap that preserves
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Use it the Fels-Naptha way-in cool
or lukewarm water, with no hard rubbing.
You'll get through the days wash in one
half the time and with much less effort.
And your clothes will look whittier and
iresher than you ever saw them before
Follow the directions on the red and green
MraPper. Use any time of year.

YOUR COUSIN is WRONG.


Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am infatuated with young
lady. one evening I invited her to
go to a place of amusement with
me and she refused. I decided to
go alone, and when | arrived she
was there with another gentleman
l think she loves me very much. In
fact, | know she does, a a cousin
Of mine who lives next door to her
told me so. But every time | ask
her to go out with me she refuses,
and if any other fellow asks her
she goes with him. GERALD NJ.
Your good sense should tell you you
cousin is no authority. The girl does
not care for you! Begin your sieg'
to her heart with that in mind.
If she continues to refuse your at.
tentions withdraw them for a while
That may awaken her interest in you

doubtful If there would have been any
congestion Of the hall even II the con-
vention had not adjourned so quickly.
A good deal has been said over the
turning away yesterday OF the hundreds
and delegates. The trouble was caused
by the filing Of the hall with people who
had no right there. They seated them
selves in seats for which they had no
tickets and clogged up the aisles so com
plctely that orders came from the ire
chief to close all doors.
Adequate explanations OF how the out

of the convention hall were seen to retire

a short conference. were passed through
the doors with wink.
These implications of bribery were Of
course denied by the police to-day. But
nevertheless il was noticed this morning
that tighter lines were drawn about this
alley and that others than those with
tickets could not enter il. II did not
