About six months ago my brother in

asked to our house as a friend. but the
second time he came he devoted most Of
his attention to me. I love him very
much and as he loves me he has been
speaking Of an engagement but my
parents are very much against it, as
they know he could never give me
home such as I have at the present
They also think me too young to keep
steady company with anyone in partic-
Mar Y Y. z.
The difference in your ages is not
too great for marriage, and If your
love is deep enough. it viii more than
make uD for the luXuries you may fore

parents wishes. If they think you are
too young. ask the man to come back
in another year.

Advice To the LOvelOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax.
GO INTO TRAINING FIRST.

Dear Miss Fairfax.
I am 20 and deeply in love with a
young man Of % who declares he loves
me dearly. The only obstacle in our
way of happiness is his small salary.
which amounts to about SIS a month.
DO you think we could be happy on
such a salary2 We are both very
anxious to get married. but 1 am not
accustomed 10 econOmizing- I am an
only child and have good parents and
home. H $
You certainly could not be happy on
such salary. It would mean bare ex~
istenCe if you were trained in ways of
aconomy, and. as you are not, marriag &c
on such a pittance is suicidal.
Go into training in economy for the
next five years and in the meanwhile he
may get more.

I am dearly in love with a girl who

have taken her. out several times and
have got so attached to her that
must find a way to make her love me
This is the point; I have not got the
nerve to tell her I love her john
That is a story that is told without
words. and no amount Of nerve Is need
ed in the telling. The next time you
take her out. hold her hand, and cour-
age will come to you You will never
know Just what You said. or If you said
anything at all You will Just wake up
and find yourself engaged

YoU CERTAINLY sHoULD.

Dear Miss Fairfax.
I am a young man of Il, and love a
girl one year my senior. She went to
the country last summer. Before she
went she told me that she loved me.
After she came back she acted alto
gether different Two weeks ago
told her a word in a joke. At first she
took it up as a joke. At our next meet
ing she would not talk TO me Should
I start to speak to her2 I love her
dearly. B. NJ. K
You offended her; you owe her an
apology. Be sure YOU make it, and
don't offend again If she treats YOU
coolly. undoubtedly your behavior has
warranted it. Also look to that, if you

SCHOOL IN HINDU VILLAGES
Methods are Primitive and Room
Usually 10 Abandoned Temple or
Borrowed House.

The old-fashioned primary schools
for Hindu village boys and girls are
known as "pial" schools, and are very
primitive. The school room is usual
ly either an old, abandoned temple or
any house or veranda lent to the
school master by some well-to-do resi-
dent. The boys attend these schools
from their fifth year, and are taught
reading, writing arithmetic, and po-
ETY., with the proper information. They
learn the alphabet by writing with
their fingers on fine sand spread be-
fore them on the ground, or they
scribble on states with chalk or on pa-
pier-mache with water colors. The
leaf of fan-palm Is also made use of.
the boys writing on it with styles.
Teacher and pupils sit on mats. When
the alphabet has been mastered they
begin to read short stories, which are
recited in slow, sing-song way that
soon jars on the Europeans nerves.
The teacher usually gets his pay in
the form of rice or vegetables, accord
ing to the occupation of the parents;
very few pay In money. Annual pres
ents are also given to the teacher dur
ing the harvest celebrations, which
occur soon after Christmas.-Wide
