OF COURSE NOT.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am nineteen, and have been
keeping company with d young
man one year my senior I had a
quarrel with him and have not
spoken to him since ne talked
about me. When I asked him
about it he took it as a joke
have found out since he was put
up to it by a jealous friend. Do
you think l ought to apologize
first2 ALICE.
You must not apologize first or last
and I hope you have too much self
respect to accept an apology If he
offer IT,
He has gossiped about you. There
can never be forgiveness for that.

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
LET YOUR HEART DECIDE.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
- am 2S and keep house for my
brothers. | know a man older
than l. He is a widower, with one
child four years old. He asked
me to marry him. I have known
him about 20 years and he is
home man. STELLA.
There is much in favor of an &C
eeptance. He is a home man, you
say; you have known him twenty
years, and take it for granted that
you know nothing against him. In
addition you are in a position of un-
certainty since your brothers mar
riage would make you homeless.
But against all this there weighs the
question Of love. Unless you love
him you will not be happy, though
he were paragon Of virtue. Your
heart must decide.

true if they take the trouble to in
