Without
Words

with a girl TWO years my Junior.
and want to know how to ex-
press my thoughts Of love 20 her
Had this young man asked this ques-
ton 80 years ago, he would have been
told to approach his lady love carry
ing in his hand a sprig Of mignonette
or of Love Lies Bleeding. He would
approach her with reverent mein and
drop on his knees before her, making
speech 20 minutes long, and that tries
both the endurance Of the reader and
his knees. It is a stilted and pedantic
avowaI Of love that sounds musty and
old, but since the language Of love has
always been musical, it pleased the
maiden Of 90 years ago. When she re.
sponded with a whispered ASK papa"
he gave vent to his overcharged emo
lions by kissing the tips OF her fingers
The times have so changed that men
no longer commit to memory long and
pedantic phrases when they go wooing.
They do not make OF proposals a days
work, and take less time to secure
wife than they take to order a lunch.
No Word of Love.
Indeed, II is both possible and pleas
ant to WOO q girl without word Of
love. and to marry her without form
al proposal For what use are eyes
when one is young. except for express
ing love? Why disturb ones happiness
with words when one is happier in a
newer, finer way without them?
This young man will find many
book with quotations many yards in
length which he might master and
which express love, but l doubt If there
lives a girl who would be pleased to
have him appear before her and recite
them She wants originality in love
making, as she wants II in nothing
else. Indeed she wants II so jeaIously
that suspicion perches on her shoulder
When a man makes love in such ready
language he sounds ike a parrot.
Neither Is II necessary to be a fault
less grammarlan. The master hand
that made this world so pleasant or
dained that the sweetest OF all sto-
ries be told in three words. and in these
three words there lies no possibility of
mistake.
My dear young man, don't look
around for ways Of expressing your
love. Tell her you love her, and you
will then find yourself master Of every
art of expression Love knows.
To tell her you love her is easy The
harder task, and the nobler, Is that
which comes in after years in living up
to your declaration. There is where
you will need the courage and training

WRITE TO HER MOTHER.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
During my vacation I met
young lady several years my junior.
Not having been properly intro
duced, the young lady refused every
attention, nor would she inform me
what her city address is. 1 can get
her address from a family who
were stopping at the same resort,
but would not like to call on her
. without permission to do so, as /
fear 1t would only offend her.
Introduction is almost impossi
Bile, as l do not know her friends.
X Il.
II no other way offers, write to he
mother telling who you are and wha
you hope to be. Give her names o
friends who will vouch for you, and AL
her, If under the circumstances, she will
not waive formality and grant you tn,
privilege of her daughters acqualnt
ance.
Such course would be unusual. bu
1t would have the merit of being mos
honorable

THEY ARE WRONG.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
became engaged to young
man the second week in July, and
we love each with the deepest and
cIeanest and most holy love that is
in existence between man and a
woman. and nothing except death
can separate us This young man
is in business for himself, and
needs every cent he makes. Now
on account of this, it is impossi-
BILE for him to buy me a ring, and
on account Of this my parents do
not believe that he will keep his
word. and do not trust him. They
promised to make a party in honor
Of my engagement, but they refuse
to do so, as my parents state that
it will be a shame for them to In
trOduCe their child to our friends
and family as being a bride when
| have no sign of being one-that
is, / have no ring. Now, I argue
with them, that at this time he
has no ring to give because Of the
condition Of his business, and that
the sign I have of being engaged
IS in my heart-my great and holy
love for him-and likewise, his for
me; but they do not listen to me,
and they nag and nag, until l feel
that I will break down.
LOVE- BLESSED
The ring is only a symbol. Girl
have been wooed and won, and beel
happy wives till death without eithe
an engagement or wedding ring
Retain your faith in him, and, sine
a party without the ring would EN-
your parents, refuse TO hav

This girl has been waiting for you

YOU ARE A FOOLISH BOY.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been paying attention to a
lady with whom ! am not in love,
but I think she loves me, as she al
ways wants me to call on her. She
is so years of age and I am 90.
She is worth 100000. Do you think
it is right for me to call regularly
and see herr RALPH p.
If you have any self-respect left you
will never call again. If the woman
liked you as a son, and you regarded
her as you would a friend of your
mother, your intercourse would be mu-
tually pleasant and profitable. But
the manner in which you speak Of her
proves this is not the case.
Go to work with. your hands and
brain to make your own fortune, and
when you talk of love let it be in con-
nection with a girl suitable to be your
wife.

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS.


Dear Miss Fairfax:
About nine months ago l met a
young man six years my senior.
He called on me once every two
weeks and promised to call every
week within a few more weeks He
has told me he loves me or he
would not call to see me, as he
lives quite some distance from me.
Now, as he has not spoken to me
about any engagement, l am at a
loss as to what his intentions are.
l have many chances. but do not
care to have the young men call
on account of this other gentleman.
and since / love this young man
very much I do not care to give
him up unless l find out that he
has no serious intentions and so
is wasting my time. Would 1t be
proper to ask him his intentions?
f. H.
You are making the mistake of let
ting him monopolize your time whel
he hasn't the right Let him occasion

ALL A COACH AND FOU

Copyright, 1913, by The Star Company.

TINE quality folk went riding by,
All in a coach and four,
And pretty Annette, in calico gown
bringing her marketing things from town.,
Stopped short with her Sunday store,
And wondered If it should betde
That she in a long plumed hat would ride
Away in a coach and four
A lord there was-oh, a lonely soul!
There in the coach and four
His years were young, but his heart was old,
And he hated his coaches and hated his gold
CThose things which all adore).
And he thought how sweet It would be to trudge
Along with the fair little country drudge,
And away from his coach and four.
