Cambridge and Boston were both
founded in 1880, but Cambridge devoted
itself to the collection of wise men, while
Boston went after the census returns
in consequence Of which Boston now has
100000 people and Cambridge only 100,-
900. As soon as the CAMBRIDGE people
had got their log houses built and their
storm doors put up, they founded Har-
ward college, which has continued to be

THERE CERTAINLY IS.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
What is your opinion of a young man
who, after counting a girl for over a
year, leaves her without as much as a
why and turns his whole attention
to another girl2 My friend is deeply
affected, and will not interest herself
in some one else. She can't seem to for
get him. On account of this I have
broken friendship with the young man
Was 1 right in doing this? Isn't there
something the matter with young men
who act this way? A Friend
You are right in showing your dis
approval of a man so dishOnOrable. It
is a pity all do not do the same. There
is something seriously the matter with
the young man. He is selfish, insincere,
tickle. weak mentally, and lacking in
moral stamina

A RE there occasions when pretense
n is justified. and by 'pretense" I
n mean a pleasing hypocrisy?
The stern mOralists who gage their
conduct by the width of a hair will
say most certainly not. 7 contend there
is 1 contend further that all of
US, like Little DOrrit, can be of great
er use in the world by pretending just
a little
pretense. We must not pretend that
things are worse than they are. We
must pretend they are better.
We must occasionally pretend to be
pleased when we are far from it. We
must pretend we like that which a
friend gives US when we don't, and we
must pretend, day after day, in big
things and little, that we are satisfied
when we are not.
The Great BIunderers.
The men are great blunderers. They
seldom get Womans viewpoint A
mother knows what her daughter likes:
father spends more and buys what is
neither appropriate nor pleasing As a
girl she learns that she must be pleased
because he bought it; she can't find
pleasure in the gift
The men love laughter, and a girl
must be pleased when her lover buys
tickets for a laugh producing play,
though she prefers a tragedy.
She must pretend to be pleased when
crosby of his heart, is persuaded by
some eloquent clerk to buy her a
bright green dress, when she wants
and would look better in a brown
She must remember a hundred times
a day to look at the spirit that prompts
a kindly attention. and not with criti-
cal eyes at the manner in which the
attention is manifested.
One Round of Pretense.
In her dealings with her friends she
must pretend to be pleased at unex-
pected company when every house
wifely instinct is panic stricken. She
must pretend when a friend has pur-
chased a hat, and must keep it and
wear il, that the hat is becoming. She
must pretend that a friend is looking
well when the truth would brighten
that friend into an illness
She must pretend that she likes the
dahlias a friend sends her, though she
prefers viOlets. She must pretend that
she is pleased at the gift of book
of poems, though she reads only prose
And she must pretend, oh, such a
tragic number of times. that she is
happy when she is not She must
learn that this pretense is every wom-
ans heritage, and that. like Little
Dorrit, she can be Of no use unless she
practices it.

Advice To the LovelOrn
AN ACTOR SWEETHEART.
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

Ny Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am young girl of 20, and am in
love with an actor two years my senior
We are not engaged, but he has asked
Tor my steady company, and since then
have gone with no one else. He SAYS
he loves me, but still he persists in
taking the chorus girls to after-theater
luncheOns whenever I am not with
him, and though I have tried TO per-
sJnade him that this is not fair to me
he still continues. When persuasion
fails to be effective, what would you
advise me to use?
H n. G.
Drop him at once. He is unworthy Of
you. If he were serious, he would
have no thought of other girls: If he
refuses to let other girls alone for you
now, what do you expect of him after
you are married and he has begun to
grow bit tired of you? An actor
husband and the life it would entail on
you. is not for you to marry anyhow.
especially an actor of the type who
would be with musical comedy show
ing in your little town.

DON'T DO 1T.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 10 and deeply in love with a
girl one year my junior. Ny love is
reciprocated. I want to marry her
within a year, to which she has agreed,
but we want to keep our marriage q
secret for at least a year or two be-
cause of my financial standing, which /
anticipate will reach a different stand
Doint within a few years. Another rea-
son for wanting this is because of my
going away for about a year on busi-
ness trip There would be no Objec-
lions by her parents, but by my own,
because of my youth.
Two True lovers.
Dismiss that plan from your mind at
once. A secret marriage may be rO-
mantle, but it always carries with il a
suspicion of doubt. No girl was ever
honored by proposal of marriage that
Included the request that the marriage
be kept secret.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am in love with a boy of 16, the
same age as mine. I love him very
much and also his parents. His parents
are against me. He called up my
house a few times. The thing that
am anxious to know is how to go to
his house Or is it not right for me to
go to his house? At least 1 would like
TO meet his parents somewhere

My dear, you are so young you don't

you also love" them, they would be

You are too young to know just
what love is. Don't go to his house,

or his parents.

Thomas R. Cutler, general manager

week, inspecting the beet fields and
factories. Field Superintendent Geo.
H. Smith, VIM. Varley and R. H..

section Saturday and found crops in
fine condition.
Mr. Smith states that the acreage
for the Blackfoot factory this year
is 5000, or 1900 more than ever be-
fore, and that the beets are in better
condition generally than they have
ever been at this time of the summer.
There is no sign of blight or disease
of any kind and if the wet, cloudy
weather does not continue too long
the tonnage and the quality should
average high.
