Meanwhile. the legal proceedings nee

taking their usual ieisurely course.
Through them all the dishonored wife
had the fear that Bert would vet claim
his child She remembered his pride in
an apparent love for the little fellow and
could not believe that he would relin-

Mary tried 10 follow this sage advice,

1t was at a birthday banquet given
the other evening by prominent Paris
millionaire banker. The fun was at its
height, when a lady cried out:
MY pearl necklace has disappeared"
Uproar followed, while every one sug-
gested plans for its recovery.
Then the banker had a brilliant idea.
We viii place a salver in the mid
die Of the ROOM" he said; lights Will
be extinguished, and the perpetrator OF
this silly Joke will have an opportunity
Of restoring the missing necklace"
This was done.
Then the lights were turned on again

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
DON'T ISOLATE YOURSELF.

DON'T ISOLATE YOURSELF.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl of IS and I never
kept company with a young man

ances, but only one lady friend.
NV relatives and even my parents
knock" me because l don't go out
with any young men. Should 1
remain with this friend, or try to
get other acquaintance?
CONSTANT READER.
Remain true to your friend, Of
course, but remaining true to her
should not bar you from making 9TH
er .nds. Go out more. Encourage
the friendliness of those your own
age. Don't get into the lonesome
habit at your young years. If you
are pleasant and friendly and kind
your circle of friends will soon widen
to include young men.

The Iangles of Love

n NE who loves at first sight
writes me: 81 am a young lady
q years Of age and have
money. I am infatuated with a young
man of 22 whom l have met only
twice. He is very bashful. How can

Know what. my dear? That you are
infatuated, or that you have money?
For an impulsive young woman of
q, one will be as difficult as the
other, for money has a way of max
ing its presence known, and Love has
to know more years than you have
known to be easily silenced.
Bashfulness is a good trait. partic-
ularly Commendable where the girl
has money. He at least is not mer-
cenary, or he would babble like a
brook to attract your attention. Ask
him to call and show him that you
are pleased with him, remembering
always, for your own safeguard, that
he is a comparative stranger. and
that the sentiment which you con-
slider love may be only a passing.
