Dear Miss Fairfax: / am young lady

in large house. | have been employed
there for the last six years and my en-
ployer has always spoken in business
way. Lately, however, when speaking to
me he embraces me, and when l tell him
not to do it he Just laughs. When sonie-
body happens to come in the office he
puts on a serious face as IL he never did
anything. This has happened great
number of times and do not know what
to do. Being so long there and getting
fair salary, do not like the idea of
losing my position, as l have to support
a mother and six children. M. r.
Tell your employer with quiet dignity
that your self-respect will not permit
you to allow his embraces. Add. too,
that you are the sole support of a mother

it on his conscience to have you go out
and search-probably vainly-for a posi-

Manicure
Lady
BY WILLIAM +. KIRK.

There was very learned old gent up
to the house last night visiting with
father, and 1t was sure a treat to hear
him talk of his travels. / guess he has
been almost everywhere in the world that
it is safe to go, and he remembers about
everything which he has ever saw" said
the Manicure Lady.
This old gent claims that the human
race is about ready to give whisky the
gate. He says he bases his remarks on
what he has saw and on the ideas of a
lot of wise old likes that have spoke with
him. He says whisky is going to go, that
the demon rum is due for a awful kick
in the shins''
II guess he is right" said the Head
BARBER. II amt no temperance preacher,
but feel 1t in my bones that the sale
of whisky is coming to a end before long.
And 1 am glad of it,"
Il thought you liked your little nip"
said the Manicure Lady.
Il used to go to it a little" admitted
the Head Barber, but the last year or
so l have let it alone. 1 never was no
steady drinker of it anyway. / could
take q drink or two when I thought 1
wanted it. or 1 got along without it for a
week or two and never thought nothing
of it. But since I quit il altogether L
feel that much better"
Father didn't warm up none to the
prospect" said the Manicure Lady. He
knew in his heart that his old pal was
telling the truth, but I guess that the
outlook is kind OF bleak and barren to
father. Poor old gent, he is living mostly
in the past these days. He was brought
up and lived all the years of his life
among men who liked their teddy. Some
OF them went to 1t harder than others
but they all nibbled, and guess that
for the last forty years father has never
went a week without his morning 8
morning. He is one man in a million at
it, I guess, because he never neglected
his family none that know Of and he
was always as kind as kitten to all OF
US, though at times little more So
1T would be pretty hard on an old boy
like that not to have nip when he
thought he needed it." said the Head
Barber.
YES" said the Manicure Lady, but
father looks at it philosophical. He says
that he amt far to go anyhow, and IL he
has to live his last few years as dry
as a fish in the bottom of boat, he
won't complain none. thinking of all the
good it will do the younger men to have
whisky where they can't get tempted by
it. The old gent is a good old sport and
IL the country goes dry before his time
he will grin and bear 1t. though have
a bunch that he will kind Of welcome the
grim reaper"
1T wasn't so many years ago that a
man could get a drink of good liquor"
said the Head Barber, but the stuff
that they are filling bottles with now
and putting whisky labels on amt fit to
give to a mad dog. It's plain poison.
don't believe there Is any such thing as
pure whisky left. and when, you think
that pure whisky was bad enough, you
can get some idea Of the damage this
new stuff is doing"
The old gentleman at our house last
night says that the only thing for this
country TO do Is to switch off onto beer
instead of BOOZE" said the Manicure
Lady.
Maybe" said the head Barber, land
guess it wouldn't hurt fellow none to
switch from that to mineral water"

A curious and strange old woman stood
