FOR CUpID's VICTIMS
Agony Editor" Gives Advice but
Fails to Live Up to His
Own Principles.
BY n, M. EGBERT.

Miss Alice Kent was the brightest
newspaper woman on any of the met
ropolitan dailies. Everybody admit
ted that, and besides, Mclaughlin,
who was on the copy desk, told her
that he had heard the city editor say
so. Perhaps he was prejudiced in her
favor, but his words came to her
spirit as balm and nectar at a period
when life seemed like a black tunnel
stretching away and away until Miss
Mayhem came back.
1t was not that Miss Kent had be-
come distrustful of her powers, or
blase. No, there was a deeper rea-
son. Miss Agnes Mayhem, who gave
advice to distracted lovers in two
half-columns every afternoon, had
been called home to Ohio on account
of her mothers illness, and the worst
of it was that she had just got to the
bottom of her basket. Those lovers
who had, presumably, been waiting
through many dreary days to find the
answers which should solve their
own peculiar and unparalleled prob
lens, had all been answered.
I'm sorry, my dear" Miss Mayhem
said to Miss Kent. She had grown so
accustomed to the use of endear-
ments to her newspaper correspond
ents that she used these forms of ad-
dress in daily life also. I'm sorry,
my DEAR but guess you'll know
how to fix it. You'll find a bunch G.
forms to meet all ordinary cases in
the top left-hand drawer. And if any
unusually delicate problem arises, use
your common sense or wait till get
home. Goodbye, my dearest child,
and if you need my help badly send
me special delivery letter to Hicks
vile"
That was why Miss Kent felt dis
consulate. She had been taken off
her reporters job and set to answer
ing the imbecilities of Cupid's vic.
tins. She let the letters accumulate,
and by the third day she had quite a

batch of them. The first. that she
tooksi in hand ran as follows:
Dear Miss Mayhem: 30,
:&I want your advice about 1.-The
young gentleman that l am engaged
tosnlarry.' Heisa model young fellow
ineaH respects, goes to church regu-
lar,; and neither drinks, smokes or
chews, but sometimes he uses slang.

taire? 1t is beauty and ! love him

miss Kent read through this COM
munication with. gathering disgust.
Then she penciled at the bottom: -.
<*Don't! marry him until you have
cured him Of his. unpleasant habit.
No gentleman eyer uses slang, sespe-
cially in the presence OF a lady"
1.-The next letter read like this: ,
Il am a young lady, twenty-five
years of age. have very nice
gentleman friend in g. good position
and have been going with him two
months. We love each other dearly.
But my friends tell me it is wrong
to go with gentleman unless you
have been properly introduced, and |

shall / do?"
Miss Kent bit her pencil and re-
Elected. The forms which Miss May
hew had left her did not quite cover
this case. "Can you not find. some
mutual friend to introduce your" she
wrote at last. I hope that is what
Miss Mayhem would have advised"
she reflected, and brought up a let
ter haphazard from the pile.
The third letter ran like this:
MY Dear Miss Mayhem:
""You have given so much good ad.
vice to others that perhaps you will
help me. A young gentleman is very
fond of me, like 1 am Of him. We
love each other dearly. There is only
one vice he has. After he takes me
to the theater he wants me to kiss
him good-by after he takes me home.
My friends tell me that l ought not
to let him kiss me as we are not en-
gagged. What ought / to do?"
This time Miss Kent could not 90

situation. Miss Mayhem was adaman-

winners when they defeated the A.

the first inning and were never in
danger thereafter They annered
two scores in the first inning and
three in the third on errors, which
was sufficient in itself to win the
game. The A. M. S. SIS were at
