CAN NOT PusH MATTERS.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am a young man twenty-five
years of age and worked in
store some time ago. While at
work there | became very at
tached to my employers daugh-
ter, and she told me she was
very fond of me. I called on
her three times a week. but since
then have accepted another posi-
ton. l have tried to see her and
make an engagement to call.
but she told me that her parents
objected to any one calling on
her. What shall / do?
WORRIED.
If her parents object to your call
ing you can not very well insist OF
doing so. If the girl cares for vol
she will probably be able to induce
them to allow you to call once in
while. at any rate.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am a young lady twenty-one
years of age and have been keep
ing company with a young man
for about six months. He is very
kind to me, but | can not really
get used to him. l got a ring
from him, but I want to know IL
gave it back to him whether it
would make him feel bad about
it. | would like TO get rid Of
his company if | possibly can,
as / don't really really care to
keep it any longer. Dear Miss
Fairfax, kindly advise me what
to do. ANXIOUS.
The only thing to do is send his
ring back and tell him that you find
you do not care for him enough &c
keep it, Make your letter as nice
as possible and spare his feelings al
you can. II is not fair to encourage
him when you know that you do not
care for him.

A MATTER OF AGE.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
/ have known a young lady for
over two years and have fallen
deeply in love with her. Have
told her so many times, and she
believes me. She says she is sor-
~ that we never can be married
on account of the difference in
our ages. She is some odd years
older than | am. but that does
not change my love for her. l
do not really know what to do.
She says on account of that we
had better not see each
often. What would you advise
me to do? / really care for and
love her more than anybody that
l ever knew. ANXIOUS.
Not knowing the exact difference
| can not advise you very satisfac-
torily but if she is more than five
years older than you, l think you
would be foolish to marry. If the
is less than that, and you
care equally for each other, / should
think you might persuade her to
marry.

TN the first glamour and rapture of
possession. betrothed lovers and
l. newly married people are i'm
mune from the influence of any third
person. The most fascinating wom-
an. the most attractive man, is pow
erless to awaken more than passing
platonic interest in husband or wife
Very young lovers believe this con-
dition will prove eternal, and when 1t
diminishes in any degree-when either
one becomes in the least susceptible
to the physical or mental charms of
another-they imagine they have
reached a crisis of misfortune. and
that welded love is dead or dying.
Instead, they should regard it as
the mere rise and fall of the emo
tional tides. When the sea Is at high
water mark, all the pebbles and rocks
on the coast are covered; when It
GIBBS they are revealed. but the tide
comes back and covers them again.
Love Should Be Eternal.
The pebbles change and the rocks
wear away, but the tides are eternal.
So, husband and wife should realize
that married love is the eternal thing
and wait for the fullness of the tides.
and not regard mere incidents as
tragedies, nor attach undue impor-
tance to passing distractions.
The magnet ore attracts the parti-
Gle of steel until the steel is charged
with the same magnetism-then 1t
does not follow the steel.
Yet, left to itself for a period Of
time, it again is susceptible to the
same influence. The thrill goes out
of the hand -clasp and the kiss at
times, because husband and wife have
been so constantly associated. Let a
brief separation ensue-9nd it is
found again.
The mistake lies in supposing that
il is gone forever and is rushing forth
to seek a new sensation elsewhere.

Some Men New Prodding

Perhaps he never really knows Just
how much assistance he has had.
Some men actually need this prod
ding 10 bring them 10 the proposal
point. They hang around the girl Tor
ages. never getting their courage up to
do the asking. and all the time keeping
other eligible men away from her.
Who can blame the girl or call her
unmaidenly II sine helps such a tardy
wooer along a bit? She does not pro-
pose TO him; she simply makes il easy
FOR him to propose 10 her.
There are some girls, alas. who prac-
ticaIIy ask a man his intentions before
he knows them himself They are the
girls who are not willing 10 accept
mere friendship from man-with them
Il is iovemalting or nothing. That they
frequently end by being old maids does
not seem to he q warning 10 others OF
their kind.
A girl cannot expect a man 10 pro
pose 10 her unless she gives him some
encoura cement, but there Is a happy
medium in lovemaking as IN all other
things
II a mm SIS attentive 10 a girl and
she likes him, there Is no harm In her
showing her liking in modest, digni-
fed way. She need not run after him
hut she can let him see that she likes
20 he with him and that his coming is
always welcome.
n she rushes nervously into CONVEX
sation every time there comes sig
nifcant pause in their conversation
she can defer the proposal indefinitely

that woman should not propose 70 man.

stringent one The mere fact oC a
