THAT DEPENDS ON YOUR PURSE

Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am in love with a girl about
my age, and | would like to know
If take her to the theater wheth-
er | should go to q cafe after
ward, and what it is customary to
order. Do you think she would
object to cafe, as shells a church
member? | am a stranger to the
city ways. COUNTRY BOY
Don't take any girl to such a place
unless you can afford it. Morally
there is nothing wrong in an after
theater lunch, but it Is good for
neither of you, is wholly unnecessary
and is an affectation of the customs
of the idle rich that no man and
woman with work to do next day can
afford to adopt.
HIS YOUTH EXCUSES HIM.
Dear Miss Fairfax
Kindly give your opinion Of
boy who got exceedingly angry
because a girl who had been on a
picnic with him would not sing
for him at 1870 p. M, also be
cause she had not walked with
him coming home, another girl be-
ing at his side. Could not he
have left the other girl and come
with her? NJ. F. q.
The Immature of boy is too trivia
a matter to be taken to heart Hs
is not Thoughtful in expecting cir
to sing at such an hour, and his anger
over the other matters is not more n
his credit.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am a young man, 10 years
old, and have been keeping COM
pany with few young ladies,
but can not keep up with them

Please advise me whether I

But Alma was entirely happy, es-
pecially when the talk turned on con-
jugal fidelity, and the faithful hus-
band was held up to rdicule. This
happened very often in one house we
used to go to--that Of countess of
ancient family who was said to have
her husband and her lover at either
side of her when she sat down to din
ner.
She was large and handsome per-
son Of middle age with a great ma SIS
of fair hair, and she gave me the feel
ing that in her case the body of a
woman was inhabited by the soul OF u

TITS NOT IMPROPER.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Is it proper for a young man,
keeping company with a young
lady, to take her to burlesque
shows? The girl claims these
shows are immoral, but he will
frequently coax her into going,
against her wishes. ANXIOUS.
Many of tie burlesque shows are
not as i'm. roper as the legitimate.
But there is another question in
volved: The girl does not want to 60
and the nan who coaxes - girl TO see
what pleases him, instead of what
pleases her, displays vein of selfish
ness that is not very promising.
