Dear Miss Fairfax; | have daughter
who goes around with boy who II In
high school-the girl IL 10, the boy ~ 20
The boy has to 20 one year more TO hign
college, He pays much attention to her
and takes her out to places of amuse-
ment, and she cares for him and doesn't
pay any attention to other boys. Cd,
don't think 1t Is advisable for a girl to
20 around with boy and walt seven
years before he will leave college and
will be able to earn his living. ,,,r,
Seven years is too long for q girl to
walt for boy OF 20 to grow up, finish
his education and prepare TO marry her.
Don't, however, deal roughly with the
romance or the young people may be
impelled to do something as silly as elope.
Perhaps II you invite him and other
young people as we'll to your house and
throw your daughter into wholesome,
jolly young society instead OF having her
find her pleasure in duets" she will
gradually outgrow this infatuation. The
young man ought to be able to finish his
college training in three or four years at
most. II the young people are sincerely
and loyalty in love and resist all your
most tactful efforts to turn their love
affair into the channels of friendship,
do you really feel that "a or Is would be
too great an age for your daughter to
attain in single slater II you care to

Our Own Fault II There is No Place for Us In
the Schemes of Life

If there seems to be no place for you
in life. isn't 1t because you are failing to
give out to life any affection? The girl
Of whom speak looks upon men as
ravening wild beasts. Her attitude to-
ward the whole scheme of existence II
one of criticism. She sees nothing any
where to like or admire or approve.
If she meets some one who Is kind and
unselfish she persists in regarding that
person as a strange exception to the gen.
eral rule. Within herself she has created
a world that does not know kindness or
love or unselfishness. And having created
that world she lives in 1t without trying
! to give anything of help or service to the
tangible world that lies about her.
She persists in regarding herself as an
unhappy and lonely creature-and this in
spite of the fact that she possesses one
friend whom she knows she can trust,
one friend who is loyal and kind, one
friend for whom she feels affection and
In whom she feels affection and in whom
she can place faith.
1t never occurs to her morbid little soul
that she owes something to that friend
ship. that because someone worth while
cares for her she has even at the mo-
ment of her greatest unhappiness a place
in life, and that she is OF use TO the
world. In fact and in potentiality, because
she has the friendship OF fine and ad-
mirable soul.
Every human being has a definite place
in the scheme of things. 1t may be tiny
now-perhaps 1t Is going to be tiny for
hut ~ az fa NJ M
else can fill Il. and the individual who Is
put into 1t is a link in chain.
| Just being alive carries with It certain
responsibility. How does any OF us know
that any other human being can do the
work we find to hand? How does any OF
us know that anyone else can do the
work We shirk in the mere fact that we
fail to look for IT.?
None OF us can look ahead so much
as an hour: none of US knows what to-
morrow will bring, II is possible that just
/ by being at a given place at a certain
time we may prove of inestimable value
In the scheme Of things-but more thar
this We all owe to life a state of pre-.
paredness." To educate yourself so that
you may be Of service to the world II
general and Of value to those who care
for you is part OF your duty.
Even though you feel friendless anc
unnecessary in the scheme Of things yor
have no guarantee that the state of az
fairs is going to last IN a world Of
change. How then dare you throw away
your chance 20 make ready TO be Of value
to life?
Being OF service to the world Is In IL
self valuable. II Is the responsibility o.
life. No one has a right to sit AROUND
and think how miserable and lonely and
unhappy and abused he or she IL with
lout recognizing the fact that there arr
plenty OF people In like state. And II they
lare, anyone who can think must figur'
out her responsibility to help other un
HAPPY souls.
Life isn't a thing 70 run away from
It is a thing TO meet with outstretchet
