Advice To the LOvelOrn
POU ARE Turned THAT WAY.
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
For the last seven months I have
been very friendly with a certain young
man who, at various times has eX-
pressed himself in such a manner that
would make me believe that some day
he would marry me. He mas told me
that he really loves me. Now, there is
a certain young girl with whom we
both come into contact This girl
especially lately has been holding con-
yersatiOns with my friend in suck a
manner as to try to attract my friend
TO her. There is also another young
man whom she would like to have me
become very friendly with. as she
knows he likes me, and I know that if
l did turn around to the other young
man she, Of course, would have the
chance of her life with my friend. Now,
l am very fond of my friend, and
would not, under any circumstances,
give him Op for another. J. NJ @.
If you let them See that you are jeal-
Gus, the spirit Of perversity that con-
trolls all at times will lead them TO
give you greater cause.
Believe me. my dear you can do
more for yourself by letting both see
you do not care if they are friendly
nor to what extent.

Willard Fillmore
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of cat Good Old SiWRsh."
FILLMORE

ILLARD FILLMORE was the
MI 18th president of the United
Iva States. This was not unlucky
for him, but it was very unlucl1y for
the 18th president, Gen. Taylor, who
died after a year in office, thus allow
ing Fillmore to succeed him.
Fillmore was born in New York IN
1900 and in 1921 began the study of
New York politics in Buffalo where they
can still be investigated in all stages of
decomposition. He pursued his studies
so successfully that at the age of 81
he was a congressman. in those days as
now, it was considered desirable to 90
after the New York vote with a vice
presidential nomination for bait, and IN
l84S the Wings attached Fillmore to the
tail of the ticket where he rode in with
considerable eclat.
When Fillmore became president he
discovered the country to be in eurdled
and unsatisfactory condition. However,
he had the rare wisdom to appoint Daniel
Webster secretary OF state, after which
he sat back and enjoyed the ride ex-
ceedingly. Webster ran the country with
great skill, acquiring California and sur
gracefully to the slave-owners
