Advice to Lovelorn

Dear Miss Fairfax Am a young girl
OF rs and have been keeping company
with a young man three years my senior.
We have been going together about
eight months My people liked him very
much. He called on me three times a
week. He happened TO see a letter (Which
1 received from young man and argued
over this letter and never called on me
since. But / often see him on the avenue
with some OF his friends and he never
seems TO notice me
Before this happened he gave me
small diamond ring, which i wanted 10
return to him. but he refused 10 take
Il back and said / could have Il for a
remembrance. MARTHA L. n.
Write and tell the young man that you
have a serious matter you wish to talk
over with him. and that YOU think he
win feel that he owes It 10 the friend
ship he once felt TO come TO you. Then
tell him that you have always grteved
over his attitude toward the letter that
you received and the lack OF faith in
you he showed. Tell him that II he still
feels angry and dfstrustful you cannot
keep the ring. since IL Is a token OF a
feeling that Is not kind or really
friendly to YOU. But, my dear girl. don't
you know that you should never have ac-
cepted a jewel from a young man 70
whom you ware not engaged2

Wilfred got started on the primrose path

was telling how Lord Byron used TO be-

every one of them had a empty skull to
drink their drinks out of. They was a
pretty fast. wicked set. this author said
and as Wilfred has always been a kind
of bug on Byron he started right in
going to the wine at tho banquet The
! only difference was that he had TO drink
II out of Va glass instead of a empty
skull, though goodness knows his own
skull is empty enough. He was one sick

one OF the most prolific causes of
matrimonial unhappiness Is the question
OF finances When a young couple are
counting they rarely, II ever, think OF
the obligations and responsibilities in
voIved in the state to which they are
both looking forward In such happy an
ticlpation. They can see nothing but
bright, perennial sunshine, They never
dream OF the possibility Of duh days, to
say nothing about possible periods OF
stress and storm.
There would be far more sunshine in
married life than there is II the parties
themselves took the proper means before

important things. n not the most Inn

The man ought to be perfectly straight

classes, where the husband Is earning
less than SIS a week, is for him TO give
his wife all his earnings except, say, 20
cents, which he retains for pocket money.
and the wife has to provide out OF her
allowance everything that Is required for
him, herself, their family and the home.
Where this arrangement Is carried out
the amount the husband should keep for
himself depends upon his earnings aud
his family. Where there is large family
OF young children he ought to be salts
fled with a smaller proportion than this.
Where a man has a bigger income
than. say, SIS a week. a different ar
rangement might be come to. He should
give his spouse an allowance TO cover
the cost Of all food supplies. rent, rates,
taxes, laundry. washing and cleaning ex-
penses. Goals, lighting. insurance and any
other expenses necessary for running the
house. The allowance should also cover
the wife's millinery and dressmaking
bills.
This would leave the husband to have

socks. boots and ties, aud allow him
something over for pocket money. Where
this method is adopted. what proportion

woman can keep a home respectable and
comfortable on so a week. as thousands
OF women do. surely another can do thu

SUPERSTITION AND

OWN you kindly answer these dues-

When will the procession of the equi-
noxes pass from Pisces to Aquarius?
Does a new era occur at such passages
from one sign TO another?-Mrs. +. G.
Sharpe, MERGED, Cal.
AL had not been up here very long
before questions relating to some looked
for, highly important event, soon to oc-
cur, began coming. This. to the letter
writer's, seemed to be of transcendent
import-the beginning of new world
era-A great change in all human events
new dispensation would soon come,
and the nations of the earth were to be
affected, governments change and a gem
eral upheaval come on suddenly.
A number of these letters came from
astrologers receiving money from the
people for horoscopes. To say that
was surprised is to state it mildly. Why
write TO me? Why do not astrologers
already know when the crossing did"
does" or will" take place?
Here are the facts: There is no such
thtAR' as an ERA" The Magma Charta
was a step m advance OF liberty in Eng
land, and the Declaration of Indepen-
dence likewise in America. The discovery
of the steam engine was an advance, but
it cannot be said that we have an era OF
the engine. The same is true of the dis
covery OF the printing press. the pendu-
lum. the telegraph and telephone, the
electric engine, telescope. microscope,
spectroscope. Roentgen rays, radium and
electrons. These are not eras. so the
word may as well be put away over into
the appendix in the rear OF the dictionary
like the thousands OF now obsolete
words.
The sentence. sun entering the sign
Aquarius." has no real scientific mean
ing. The main reason for this Is that
there is no such thing as Aquarius. All
questioners actually seem to believe that
there is such an object in the sky as
| Aquarius. The only scientific words in
the mass of letters and in many frantic
pamphlets raving about the approach of
a new era--the Aquarian-are these:
I Procession of the equlnoxes. And these
few words are casually alluded to as II
they did not amount to much.
