He doesn't want to be his own
grandfather, and act and dress as his
grandfather did. Bless you, no! He
doesn't want to travel by stage coach.
The twentieth Century Limited or a

him. He would die before he would
walk down Broadway clad in ruffles
and knee pants, or even'in blue coat
with brass buttons and skin-tight
lavender trousers. He no more &C

politics, religion or medicine than he

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am going to be
married In short time. I think very much
of my future husband and wouldn't want
to hurt his feelings In any way. His mother
seems TO be against me for reason at
all and I am afraid after I am married she
will try to run my house. What should
do, knowing l can't say anything without
causing trouble3 ANXIOUS,
Set yourself the task OF winning the love
of your nanees mother Remember. she Is
losing the boy she worked to bring up. II
he Is a fine man. her influence is one of
the things which helped to make him so.
Perhaps she feels n little hurt and lost and
1t is hard for her to reconcile herself to a
secondary place In his life, Youth ought to
be kind and unselhsh toward age. Make
her feel that she is getting .dauster In
stead of losing son. and SO am sure you
will insure your own happiness as we'll as

We have gotten away from it,

what is more, men have gotten away

cases where the husband and father
dies suddenly, leaving a houseful of
helpless women to face the world

bodied women, and they should be
able to get along all right"
They will starve," he groaned.

nearly worn me to skin and bones
about her affairs"
But that kind of woman-the
clinging vine woman--is always so
