pastoral call at the Brownings' he took
little Anna on his knee and asked her

squirmed loose and ran into the next
room. where her mother was putting a
few finishing touches to her adornment
before going into the drawing room to
greet the clergyman.

Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
/ 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 1
reach the age of 80 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?

Love makes no reckoning of a mat

you are big mentally and spiritually
and have a heart that is of the right
size you are big enough for any gir
TO love and marry.

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
DON'T ISOLATE YOURSELF.


Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl of IS and I never
kept company with a young man
vet. I haven't many acquaint-
ances, but only one lady friend.
NY relatives and even my parents
knock" me because l don't go out
with any young men. Should
remain with this friend, or try to
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. If you
are pleasant and friendly and kind,
your circle of friends will soon widen
to include young men.

Not True.

The idea of a man named Pat stop
ping to ask such a 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 L he has
a right to stay in the race,
Really, if the girl has any spirit in
N"r she will accept the man who
nights the longest for her even
though she may love the other man
the more.
One who hesitates foolishly writes
4 am Y 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 81

years. Another young man who gets

that both will find their love cooled
with the waiting. To accept the at
tentiOns Of the other man is no proof
of fickleness. FfCkieness exists only
where there is love or its pretense.
She has never claimed either. She is
only II, and has youths divine right
to accept the attentions Of any honor
able young man. And may Love with
its wonderful gift, come to her some
day, carrying with his offering no
grinding condition Of a five years
wait
II am It." writes a little girl who is
beginning to taste the bitterness of
love early. "and deeply in love with d
young man of 10. He said he loved
me, but l see him going out with
other girls. 1t makes me feel blue to
see him go out with other girls"
OF course, ii does. It always has. It
always will. The great tragedies OF
fact and fiction are evolved from that
very condition. 1t makes your little
heart ache, and no doubt you have
made YOUR nose red and your pretty
eyes dim by shedding tears over his
perfidy.
Paying the Price.
You are paying the price of Love
little girl, all too soon. One should
not begin at II to shed the tears that
are caused by a mans fckleness. one
should at that age be merry and glad,
and laugh at Love instead of weeping
over him.
Don't say, 1T makes me blue" Don't
take wOman's pains before you
reach woman's estate. Laugh and be
glad that you care so little for the
man who goes with other girls, and
you will find yourself caring less.
No matter what the perils and the
price. Love is worth al one endures
all one pays. Let us have faith in II,
hope for it, welcome it. Let Us regard
it with the simple faith of childhood
that led us TO read with a sigh and
close the book without a doubt. firmly
believing the gospel truth of the clos
ing line:
And they married and lived happy
ever afterward"

The Tangles of Love
By FRANCES L. GARsIDE.

Love, tits the despair of philoso-
piers and sages, the rapture Of poets,
the confusion of Cynics, and the war
riOr's defeat"
n NE who loves at first sight
~ writes me: 81 am young lady
81 years of age and have
money. l am infatuated with a young
man Of % whom l have met only
twice. He is very bashful How can
l get better acquainted with him
without letting him know ito"
Know what, my dear? That you are
infatuated. or that you have money?
For an impulsive young woman of
p, 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 commendable 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 comparative stranger and
that the sentiment which you con-
slider love may be only a passing
childish attraction. Impulsiveness is
a fine trait, but may the ranks Of
guardian angels be doubled around
the girl who yields to it!
Il am 49," writes Pat Carey and

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

BUILDING TRADES
CARPENTERS.

The Millmen's Union, through the
Fresno County Building Trades Coun
Gil of Fresno, Cal, has signed new
working agreement with the Mill
Owners Association, which immediate
ly became effective and will continue
until July 1, 1915. The new agree
ment carries with it an increase of SIS
a year for practically all of the en-
ployes. Under the old agreement the
millmen received only straight time
for overtime work, but under the new
agreement they will receive time and
one-half for all overtime. The new
agreement also makes a change in
the scale on outside contracts. Here
after the millmen on outside contracts
are to receive the same compensation
as members of the Carpenters Union,
which is S. for an eight hour day, this
being an increase of 81 per day for
millmen for this class of work.
Changes in the box departments have
also been made, reducing the hours
from nine to eight with small in
crease in wages.

President Berry's resolution to have

The pressmen formerly employed by
the Daily Oklahomian at Oklahoma
City, have been locked out. The con
troversy arose in negotiations over a
scale of wages in which the pressmen
asked that the platers and oilers be
granted an increase In wages from
$3.50 to SO per day. The News and
Times acceded to this request and
signed an agreement with the press
men, but the management of the Ok
lahomian not only refused to sign the
agreement, but demanded that the
pressmen give up their union cards
and, when they refused, discharged
them.
