Dear Miss Fairfax: l am 20, and was
married when 16 My husband has proved

eign land. has not contributed to my sup
port for three years and only occasionally
writes. Despite this fact, am daily writ
ing him letters, appealing to him 10 re-
turn. My letters are either unanswered
or else my pleas ignored. Since he has
gone my life has been dreary. ! cannot
concentrate my mind on my work. 1 be-
came so discouraged that i was compelled
to give II up. l am at a loss 10 know
what to do. I am attractive and have
done everything in my power to hold him.
1 cannot understand his indifference
My dear Miss Fairfax. / feel that there
are other women In my terrible position.
Won't you kindly advise me what to do?
A DESPONDENT GIRL.
am sure your own inner consciousness
must tell you that all this uncertainty OF
waiting and striving TO win back the love
OF the man who has deserted you will
wreck your health and happiness You
have said that your husband is the most
contemplate OF men" The fact that you
can call him 50 bitter a name proves that
your love for him is waning. Evidently
your respect for him Is gone and so will
your own self-respect unless you make a
definite stand against the cruel fascina.-
ton that still holds you to an undeserv-
ing wretch. Your strength of will must
determine your salvation. Make up your
mind TO take a definite stand and put this
man out OF your life. Write and tell him
that your patience is at an end and then
force yourself into work and use equal
strength TO hold your mind centered
absolutely on success in the line you
choose.

For the cure Of cancer which hiss
escaped early detection aud reached a
iairly advanced development there Is still
hope. But here. AS elsewhere. speed, A.
the sense OF spread, is the essence OF con-
tract.
The main question to be considered Is
not so much the size. or painfulness. or
even the extent OF the growth--except in
he most deplorably advanced stages-but
how many of the seed or spore cells have
been formed and how far they have
Travelled In the body along the lines OF
the lymphatics and Of the blood vessels.
This is what makes some OF our great
est puzzles and our most pitiful disap-
poinments. One comparatively small and
almost painless growth may have run 10
seed early and scattred its spores half
over the body, and it's removal will do
no good whatever In the log run.
While another huge. ragged. liberated
mass. causing agonies Of pain, may have.

charging its spores into its own interior.
and its removal with an inch or two OF
sound tissue on all sides and careful
cleaning up OF the Emphatic chains in
the neighborhood may result in a perma-
nent cure;
However these incalculable cases are
In the minority And while, Of course.
there is no disease In which more de-
ponds upon the individual circumstances
OF the particular growth. II may be said
very crudely and broadly that n the
growth is no more than two inches in
diameter. and has not caused enlarge
ment or thickening OF the Emphatic
chains for more than two or three inches
beyond It's border. and these latter are

That isn't her name-a girl know who is
very like other girls in that she does not go by
her real name; it is never to herself or the peo-
pie who know her-Narcsse, the feminine OF
Narcissus But and Jack and jill know that
her secret name is really that! NarcIssus was
the lovely boy-the Young Greek God who
found his face one day by chance reflected in
still woodland pool. and. enamored of its sur
prising beauty, hung all day and many days
after above the image in the water, worshipping.
dreaming lost in his own beauty. until one day
he dropped and ded--he had been there
long; and some remembered the story and
told IL to some one else-and 1t is just as plain
a the your face clear down to us!
Wel--this IS Narcsse Are you maybe pos
sessed of the secret name Narcisse? Do you
dream all day your own face and the wonders
that you are made Of? Do you dream you
yourself and the perfect arch Of brows that de-
scended from your great-grandmother, and the
white breadth OF your forehead and the gold OF
the curs that lie It? Sometimes It is good
to remember that we ARE fearfuly and wonder

AN AGNoSTIC VIEW. - Won't
some 'insider" please emulate the
aged darby at the sex discussion and
tell de plain truth" in detail about
the school board snarl? The school
system affords many fine appOintiVe
temporary Jobs which might be made
permanent; large, fat, rich contracts
for material, sinecures, prerOgatives
and perqUisites that actually OOze
creamy juice. Now, for a member of
one of the various true faiths to say
to me, during this hot spell, that the
above is not the CTuX of the holy
show is to be needlessly cruel, for
heat and horse laugh should be kept
separate.
The American people have tenn
perate respect for the Lord and an
habituaI reverence for The Flag, but
they passionately love The Bull. A

on March II. But these are nothing
to the trouble that can be started
when The Bull is properly worked
off. And here is the Best American
Bull, involving both The Lord and
The Flag:
When you covet something valu-
able that is not nailed down, first re-
affirm Qoudly) your devotion to the
flag of Gettysburg, and then kick the
Catholic church. Don't be afraid;
your ancestors did it, and they cop
ped the goods, too, during the hula
baIOO that ensUed. Moreover, it does
not hurt the church; each furore
brings her prosperity. So all is well
later. The church, you know, long
ago finished cataIoging every form of
human yappery, including the I'M

there is a brunette in the woodpile
whose identity is not established,
better dig him out, or wait a few
years and see events solve the prob

Meanwhile religion" makes good
battery smoke.
The seCtarian feature of this affair
is a bugabOo. The bitter frothings
of an occasional idiOtic priest do not
bind the cOmmOnality of the church
any more than the hOg-wash of Billy
Sunday binds the mass of nCn-Cath-
OhCs. The rank and file of each side
sooner or later detect evidence that
their respective leaders OstensibIe
aims do not jibe with their evident in
tents.
The agnOstic observer is sure that
Interior interests are making fools
of many Catholic and Professionals,
because the tender point with each is
his fear of being made to appear ri
diculOus in a sectarian wrangle, and
not, bear in mind, because he cares
a jack straw as to whether or not

sullied.
Although they are opponents,
there is probably one point of agree
ment between the LOebidae of the
board. Being Of a race distinguished
for ability to judge values, Max and
Jake no doubt regard the Goyem as
easy for being misled by any "ho-
ier than thou" humbug.
The agnostic despises dogma to the
extent that it tends to create dis
cord among those who have much in
common and should be friends. In
this case an attempt is being made
to pit psalm-singing bigotry against
Roman laisez-faire, for the benefit Of
those who wish to put something
over for all there is in it."

trouble, marked balloting in today's
aldermanic primaries:
Complaints were numerous from
the 18th and 18th wards. The most
serious trouble developed in the 21st,
between democratic rivals.
Police and investigators were sent
out in special squads from the offices
of the chief of police, the election
commission and the states attorney.
Complaints of fraud were frequent,
the usual charge being that repeat
ers we're being used.
In the residential wards, where the
factional fight between Thompson
and anti-Thompson men is hottest,
the result was seen in heavy vote.
The "insurgent nine" aldermen de-
clared the mayor and his followers
were in for beating, but the City
Hall crowd showed equal confidence.
In the 18th ward Aid. Jimmy Bow
Ter reported that an Italian worker
for Joseph D'Andrea was challenging
voters right and left
"There'n be murder in my ward
before night unless we get better po-
lice protection" was the declaration
of Joseph Prendergast, Democratic
candidate for alderman in the 21st,
as he hurried into the election COM
missioners' Office in the City Hall to-
day.

ers are voting and re-voting. Things
are rotten. Gunplays are frequent
and some one is going to be killed I'M

crowd, scrapping for the Democratic
aldermanic candidacy of the ward.
Later Prendergast had fist fight
with Courtney Scobell, a Sullivan
worker, flooring his opponent. He
claimed Scoben was trying to prevent
him trailing fioaters.
Arguments, punctured by fists,
were frequent throughout the ward,
the Sullivan and Harrison people Sc.
lecting it for their bitterest test of
strength.
Extra policemen were sent to the
ward.
The trouble is the 21st was the first
irregularity reported in today's pri-
maries.
Additional police were called to the
Both precinct of the 18th ward, where
illegal challenging was said to have
been tried.
Morning voting was light, but after
the noon hour the polling places were
busy. The women voters began to
crown in. 1t was noticeable that they
marked their ballots as quickly as the
men.
Aid. HIGHLANDER, after touring his
ward, the 23d, declared he was con-
fident of denomination, though ex-
pected close fight.
Chief Clerk Dennis Egan of the
election commission estimated the
vote.would reach 100000 The first
ward was totalling the lowest proper
tionate vote of any district. Aid. John
Coughlin has no opposition there for
the Democratic nomination, which is
considered as good as an election.
