for the purpose of manufacturing fifty
pounl Bank of England notes has been
discovered in Roumania, and four men
and one woman are in custody on a
charge of making false bank notes. The
paper used was an excellent imita-
ton of Bank of England note paper,
with the exception of the watermark.
and 1t was the latter defect which led
to the detection Of the forgery, though
not until a number of notes had been
put in circulation on the continent.

He returns with the ball gently held in
his mouth, and drops it beside the sand

~ NE who loves at first sight
writes me: Il am a young lady
81 years of age and have
money. l am infatuated with a young
man of % whom I have met only
twice He is very bashful. How can
l get better acquainted with him
without letting him know it?"
Know what, my dear? That you are
infatuated, or that you have money ?
For an impulsive young woman of
81, one will be as difficult as the
other, for money has a way of max
ing its presence known, and Love has
TO know more years than you have
known to be easily silenced.
Bashfulness is a good trait, partic-
ularly conmendable where the girl
has money. He at least is not mer-
cenary, or he would babble like a
brook to attract your attention. Ask
him to call and show him that you
are pleased with him, remembering
always, for your own safeguard, that
he is a comparative stranger, and
that the sentiment which you con-
slider love may be only a passing,
childish attraction. Impulsiveness is
fine trait, but may the ranks of
guardian angels be doubled around
the girl who yields to it,
Il am 49," writes Pat Carey, land
deeply in love with a girl named
Agnes, who is just IS. My friend Tom
is also in love with her, and keeps
company with her. We have both
told her we love her. but he went to
dance, met her there, and dished me
out Do you think it would be mean
il try to win her away from him, as
can not live without herr"
Not True.
The idea of man named Pat stop
ping to ask such question: He is
not a true Irishman, or he would not
stop to ask if he should try to win
the girl he loves from some other
man, even though the other man
"dished him out"
1t has always seemed to me that
the lover who doubts if he has a
right to win his sweetheart doesn't
love her very much. Instead Of a
rival squirting him to action, he drops
beside the road and wonders if he has
right 10 stay in the race!
Really, If the girl has any spirit in
her she will accept the man who
fights the longest for her, even
though she may love the other man
the more.
One who hesitates foolishly writes
Il am II and am employed in
a wholesale house where a young man
is employed who loves me. He would
like to marry me, but gets only S11
week, and wants me to wait five
years. Another young man who gets
more wants to keep company with
me. am not tickle, but want to do
the right thing"
1t is never the right thing" for a
girl of only II, too young to know
her own mind and heart, to be bound
to promise to marry a man five
years hence. The chances are that he
may not oe in a position financially to
marry at the end of that time, and

OF COURSE NOT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:


1 have been keeping company
with a girl somewhat my senior,
beautiful and accomplished. She
has led me to believe that she
loves me. l am working for my
father now, and as soon as
reach the age of 30 he will pass
over to men a lucrative tinsmith-
ing business. But there seems one
drawback. The girl is tall and
stately, while l am a little over
five feet in height. Do you think
that should make any difference?
c. d.
Love makes no reckoning of a mat
ter of inches, my dear young man. If
you are big mentally and spiritually
and have a heart that is of the right
size you are big enough for any girl
to love and marry,

Advice to the

Dear Miss Fairfax:

yet. l haven't many acquaint-

My relatives and even my parents
knock" me because don't go out
with any young men. Should 1

get other acquaintances?
CONSTANT READER.
Remain true to your friend, OF
course, but remaining true to her
should not bar you from making 9TH
err friends. Go out more. Encourage
the friendliness of those your own
age. Don't get into the lonesome
habit at your young years. II you
are pleasant and friendly and kind,
your circle of friends will soon widen

not begin at II to shed the tears that
are caused by mans fckleness. One
should at that age be merry and glad,

glad that you care so little for the
man who goes with other girls, and
you will f1nd yourself caring less.
