To win Confidence Deserve II,

Dear Miss Fairfax: have been on
gagged to a young man since last May.
Our meeting was more or less a flirta-
ton, as l was introduced to him through
friend OF his whom I met through a
filtration. My friend is very much
against Filtration, and to make matters
worse before out engagement l told him
of the many times / flirted and the good
times ! had with men. This has seemed
to make my friend lose his confidence in
me since he feels that still continue. He
feels he cannot trust me. ! want his con-
fidnce. How can win IT, for long to
so so? MABEL w.
The best way TO win confidence is alb
solutely to deserve it. Since you were
once so indiscrete as to flirt. you must
prove by long period OF dignified be-
havior that you realize your own foolish
ness. This distrust is the penalty you
must pay for your. actions Just realize
how wrong your conduct was, and make
up your mind that there will be no more
of 1t. and think you will be able to
convince your fiance of your change Of
heart.

Perhaps every father has moments
wnen no realizes his responsibility 10 his
children, and he intends, when the critical
moment comes 20 guido them safely by
the dangerous place in their roads, but
the difficulty is that fatherhood is not

Fathers Clubs Supplying Longfe1t Wants

because no woman, no matter how con-
scientiously she tries to do her duty, can
successfully bring up children alone. They
need father as we'll as a mother. They
need o mans strong restraining hand
just as much as they need a woman's
tender touch.
The very qualities that are the essence
Of motherhood-blind devotion 90 her

needs justice as well az mercy. and 20 be
controlled as well as to be INDUCED.
The average mother lacks the courage
TO deny her children anything that she
can possibly give them. She lacks the
foroo to make them do anything they do
not want TO do and she can no more
hold them 10 doing hard duty than she
could nail them 20 the cross.

auainted.

For II is only too sadly true that the
average American father does not even
know his own children. He has turned
their rearing entirely over to his wife
He has let her decide every important
question connected with them She has
picked out the schools they go to, the
clothes they wear. the amusements they
enjoy. the friends with whom they as
sociate. Her influence has oeen the
dominating one in their lives. Father has
counted for nothing except as a bill
payer. and it Is a literal fact that except
for conventional and financial reasons
most American children had as well have
no father at all as the kind they have
got.
The lack Of fatherhood is the greatest
danger that menaces our society today.

Des Moines churchmen met at the
First Methodist church yesterday and

William A. Sunday revival campaign
which begins Sunday, Nov. 1. J. H.

Y. M. G. A., was appointed chairman
The following men were chosen de.

United Presbyterian-Walt Simp

Brethren-K. E. Smith,
The men of each church will be di-
vided into three classes, the older
men, the young men between Is and
80 years of age, and the boys. A
leader for each group will be chosen
by the respective congregations.
P. B. Sheriff acted as chairman. In
his opening remarks he stated EN-
phatically that Mr.. Sunday will be
here and that the tabernacle will be
built
In a meeting with the ministers of
the city yesterday morning at the Y.
M. G. A., an entirely new plan was
preached by Dr.. Emmett. He sugges-
ted that the church forces of the city,
be equally divided and that one-half
come on each of the two opening
nights of the revival.
According to the new scheme, which
he stated had never been tried before
by Mr.. Sunday, every minister ans his
congregation will be seated in re-
served section. One minister sugges-
ted that some of the church people
might object to being so conveniently
located for Billy to lead up to the
chopping block, but the plan met with
the approval of most of those present.
The idea of getting the various COM
gregations to act as a unit from the
start was pronounced good one.
