YOU'RE NOT IN LOVE.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX.
L am a boy 10 years or age and am
deeply in love with a girl 10. She has
been keeping steady company with me,
until lately. Now she goes out with
another man. but treats me as though
she likes me. 1 heard some Of my
friends say she was engaged to this
man: but she tells me she is not. When
I ask her to go to the show or any
where, she refuses, but Says that I may
just as well stay at her home and en-
10Y the evening. Do you think 1t is
right for me to 90 to this girls house
when 1 think she does not love me. or
would you, il you were in my place,
continue to go with her, even II she
does love this MANI z. n
You are too young to talk Of love.
If the girl loved you and you were to
marry, the chances are that you would
both be very unhappy in snort time.
If the girl prefers staying at home 20
going with you TO a show, you should
not object. You save your money and
have the pleasure Of her society anyhow.
Forget this love talk" and go with her
for the pleasure you get out of it. II
you continue to care for her when you
become old enough to marry (Which
you WON'T. that is time enough to talk
of love and marriage and being heart
broken. Keep your heart free for sew
eral years yet. It will mean more hap

upon Fanny Hedden on the first
day that she wore her new coat. It was
two days after she had received the

him Fanny had hoped that the coat
would be sent home on the day Of its
purchase, but near Christmas time the

young man five years my senior. OF

Ny dear girl, when a man is discour-
aged and depressed over his money az

only aUgments his sufferings If he
thinks Of all the things he cannot do

to cheer him instead Of selfishly think

A D1sHoNoRABLE THING.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am girl Of twenty and have been
going out pretty steadily with a young
man of about the same age.
After I met him, but before I went
out with him, met his brother. At
one time he did not appeal to me as
strongly as he does now. and since
have met him again in the company Of
his brother, I have found out the state
Of my affections.
I am now going out with the one
in order that I may be in his brothers
company, and I would like to know how
to gain the affections Of the other with
out losing the respect Of the one2

You are doing a most reprehensible
thing. In simple terms you are using
the affection one brother feels for you
in order to win that Of the other
