THEY ARE WRONG.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I became engaged to young
man the second week in July, and
we love each with the deepest and
cleanest and most holy love that is
i'm existence between a man and
woman, and nothing except death
can separate us. This young man
is in business for himself, and
needs every cent he makes. Now,
on account of this. it is impOssi-
BILE for him to buy me ring, and
on account of this my parents DO
not believe that he will keep his
word. and do not trust him. They
promised to make a party in honor
Of my engagement, but they refuse
to do so, as my parents state that
II will be a shame for them to in
troduCe their child to our friends
and family as being a bride when
| have no sign of being one-that
is ! have no ring Now, ] argue
with them, that at this time he
has no ring to give because Of the
condition of his business, and that
the sign l have Of being engaged
is in my heart-my great and holy
love for him-and likewise, his for
me; but they do not listen to me,
and they nag and nag, until l feel
that I will break down.
LOVE BLESSED.
The ring is only a symbol. Girl
rave been wooed and won, and beel
Happy wives till death without eithe
IN engagement or wedding ring.
Retain your faith in him, and, sine
| party without the ring would EN-
,arrass your parents, refuse to hav
he party.
That, also, is unnecessary TO rea
happiness.

WRITE TO HER MOTHER.

Dear MISS Fairfax:
During my vacation I met
young lady several years my junior.
Not having been properly intro
duced the young lady refused every
attention. nor would she inform me
what her city address is. I can get
her address from a family who
were stopping at the same resort,
but would not like to call on her
without permission to do so, as l
fear It would only offend her.
Introduction is almost impossi-
BILE, as do not know her friends.
X u.
II no other way offers, write to he
mother, telling who you are and whar
you hope to be- Give her names o.
friends who will vouch for you, and asl
her, If under the circumstances, she vii
not waive formality and grant you the
privilege of her daughters acquaint,
ance.
Such a course would be unusual, bu
1t would have the merit of being mos
honorable.

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
About nine months ago I met
young man six years my senior.
He called on me once every two
weeks and promised to call every
week within a few more weeks. He
has told me he loves me or he
would not call to see me, as he
lives quite some distance from me.
Now, as he has not spoken to me
about any engagement, l am at
loss as to what his intentions are.
I have many chances. but do not
care to have the young men call
on account Of this other gentleman,
and since ! love this young man
very much I do not care to give
him up unless / find out that he
has no serious intentions and so
is wasting my time. Would 1t be
proper to ask him his intentions?
F.. II.
You are making the mistake of let.
ting him monopollze your time wher
he hasn't the right. Let him occasion.
ally find another man there. Give
the pleasure Of going out with
others. and II he cares for you the feal
Of losing you will bring him to time.

Widow Is Amazed.

Mrs. Robbins glanced in surprise at
the pale face and lips. why, dear"
she apologized, Il did not mean to
startle you, No, he is no worse. But
It seems that those burns on his taee

Wen equipped hospital, those burns

"Yes-a chance Dr.. Yeager says. II

specialist in New York. So they are
arranging 10 have him taken to town
in private ambulance within a day or
two. All my invalids seem to be Ieav-
ing me about the same time" she
added.
BY an effort Beatrice controlled her
quivering lips and spoke calmly. Il
wish" she said that could do some
thing for you, Helen, dear"
Her friend turned toward her sud
denly. You can" she said simply.
WHAT" asked the other, astonished,
what can I do?"
Well" said Helen. significantly and
slowly. Keith is so much better that
he will be able to be downstairs this
morning If YOU want to do something

And before the amazed widow could

Would it be possible for man and

But no American born girl and boy

you ARE A FOOLISH BOY.

Dear MISS dlTId8s
! have been paying attention TO a
lady with whom ] am not in love,
but think she loves me, as she al
ways wants me to call on her. She
is so years of age and I am 90.
She is worth 100000. Do you. think
it is right for me to call regularly
and see herr RALPH p
If you have any self-respect left you
will never call again. If the woman
liked you as a son, and you regarded
her as you would a friend of your
mother, your intercourse would be mu-
tually pleasant and profitable. But
the manner in which you speak Of her
proves this is not the case.
Go to work with your hands and
brain to make your own fortune, and
when you talk Of love let it be in con-
nection with a girl suitable to be your
wife
