Dorothy Dix Says:

a PRETTY, sweet. innocent and
n utterly unsophisticated girl
met a handsome and dashing
young Westerner at a summer resort
last August and fell in love with him.
The man asked her to be his wife,
and they are 10 be married in a few
weeks.
In the meantime a woman who lives
in the Westerner's home town has
met this little New England girl, and
she is wondering if She shall tell the
truth about her fiance, that he is a
drunken worthless loafer who has
lived a life Of abandoned debauchery
and been engaged in several shady
enterprises or shall she keep silent
and let the girl go to her certain doom
unwarned.
This same question is difficult
problem that most Of US have TO face
at some time or other in our lives. and
we generally duck the issue We are
not brave enough TO tell the truth,
and We excuse ourselves for not doing
it by saying, oh well, what's the
use? The girl will go along and marry
the man IL she's in love with him. no
matter what anybody tells her, and
the only result of our attempt to save
her will be to make enemies Of both

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
HE NEEDS SNUBRING.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
A young woman with whom
am employed is desperately in
love with the same young man
with whom l am in love.
He shows each of us the same
attention. and when the two of US
are together he treats us alike:
but still, when he takes me out
alone, he tells me that / am the
only girl he loves, and when he
takes my friend out he tells her
the same.
Shall ! refuse his attentions, as
am very fond Of the other young
woman and would willingly give
her the chance if you so advise?
UNDECIDED
He is the most detestable of al
creatures-a man hirt. You will &c
your friend no kindness by giving heI

only TO win trouble.
Why not put your two heads to-
yether and devise some scheme OF
teaching him a lesson?

TN the lowest slums Of Paris live the
Apaches who have taken the
name of the red man in vain.
They have never seen an Indian and
it's safe to say that no Indian would
look az "a French Apache except To-
watch him dance.
The French Apache is the most dc
graded denizen OF the Paris under
world and is about as low as one can
get But. like all French people, he
retains his artistic temperament ard
turns it into cash.
lie is generally thief at least, cor
something much worse. and he glorias
in the many CORY and hideous crimes
which the much frightened public lay
at his door. There are great gangs OF
Apaches. some of them doing "a thriy-
ing business at picking pockets. and
others making even more money by
exploiting their unusual dances before
the eyes Of those oh, SO dear for
eigners!"
Writers Saw the Dance.
OF course. the crimes Of the Apaches
are many nut ANeA are not as many
as he would have one believe. The
Apache. however bases his fantastic
and terrifying reputation for crime on
a very solid foundation Of passion and
lawlessneSs, and the real Apache
dance ends in an exhibition of eN-
tTaordinary brutality should the TOM
peramental thief happen 10 be in the
mood 10 beat the girl on whom he Is
lavishing his attentions for the mo-

THAT'S A COMPLIMENT.

Dear Miss Fairfax.
] am young girl Il years OF
age, and am considered good
looking and have quite a number
of boy friends. / have had Occa-
sion to pass a corner where a
crowd of young men stand, /
knowing some Of them. Is Il
proper for me to gaze into the
crowd and speak? These young
men think 7 am stuck up" Is
IL proper to thank a man for es-
corting a girl home?
TROUBLED.
When young boys say a girl is
stuck up" they unintentionally pay
her compliment. Il means. in theil
opinion. that she is reserved: that she
is nothing that is common"
Don't look into crowd OF loafers
that you may greet an acquaintance;
look the other way.
When young man escorts a girl
home, he should thank her for the
privilege.

Your Bounden DUTY.

IL is strange how we look at this
matter Of our own responsibility and
how lightly we take it. If we saw a
helpless young girl, blindfolded, or
walking in her sleep, approaching the
verge of a precipice that she was
about to walk over. we would move
heaven and earth 10 save her. We
would strain every nerve and muscle
to hold her back: we would struggle
with her on the very brink and risk
our lives to try to restrain her: but
we will let a girl dazed by romance
and what she thinks is love- walk
right into a marriage that we know
means certain misery To her with
out lifting a finger to try To save
her
Yet death is heavens own mercy to
a woman compared with a miserable
marriage. The instant of physical
suffering while bones break and the
heart stops is as nothing To the long
drawn out years of suffering in which
wounded heart throbs with an
agony that is never stilled
As [ have said. we Justify our cow

too true i'm the great majority of
cases. We bring our girls lin the
fool belief that they have some sort
of mysterious power called "woman's
sacred influence" by which they can
work miracles. So If YOU tell one
that a man is lazy. drunken. immor-
al or brutal she will smile sweetly at
you and go blithely forth to the altar
in the firm conviction that the min
