FOOLISH IDEA.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am Is and have beer going
about with a young man for
year He says ne wishes TO marry
me some day, but I have seen so
many marriages prove failures
that I am hesitating in becoming
engaged As my mother and faith
er had trouble I know what Il is
and wish to be sure Of his love
before I give him my life
Can you suggest some way
may be sure Of a happy marriage
Doubtful
You poo- youthful little cynic! a
good many marriages are failuresi
that doesn't mean that the institution
itself is a failure, buu that the people
who are into it aren't the right kind
Of partners If you are ready to dc
your part-to bear and forbear and
to give love and understanding to
the man you love, and If he is as ready
TO be square" with you as you are
with him, your life partnership ought
to work out very well I am not go
ing to suggest any love tests" to you.
Time is the best one, and you. as wen
as the boy Of whom you are fond, viii
have to pass it. II you still care TOT
each other as you grow older, you VIII
be brave enough to take the risks and
chances one has TO endure TO win any
kind OF happiness in life.

A c.
Your friends attitude seems to me
most unfair If he were this girls
accepted suitor he would be in a
position to ask her to honor his
wishes in this matter. As il is I
scarcely see what right he has to de-
mand that you break off an inter
esting friendship Just because he
wants all the girls time and at
tention. Even If she were in love
with him she might in all loyalty take
a sympathetic interest in your work
If he will not listen to reason YOU

one day, when, looking up in the
branches OF a tree covered with hon
eysickle vine, he saw something
queer.
I must see what that is" said IN
Gle Wiggily to himself. so. standing
on his tippy tip-toes, he looked as
hard as he could. and saw that the
queer thing was a bat, fast asleep,
hanging by his hind legs, as bats do
in the day time when they get home
from having been out all night.
What are you looking at Uncle
Wiggily?" asked the voice Of Sammie

along just then.
I'm looking at a bat, Sammie." was
the answer.

I'd like a nice new bat ny old one is

q Come and look at IL"
So Sammie came and stood beneath
the tree with Uncle Wiggily. but, when
he saw the queer creature hanging by
his hind legs to branch, in the dark
shadows Of the tree, the rabbit boy
said.
Why, that isn't a baseball bat al
all It's a mOuse-"
NO. 1t isn't a baseball bat. Sammie. A."
said Uncle Wiggily. 1t is an animal
bat, one Of the kind that fly about
nights catching bugs And It does look
like a mouse with wings, grant you
that
In fact, a bat is a sort Of flying
animal, and though It has lived many
thousands OF years no one knows, for
sure, whether IL is a bird or animal
Though some squirrels have wings,
and are called flying squirrels, they
cannot fly as can a bat"
We'll. I don't like this batr' cried

Just do It because you think il part
OF your education. Examine your
self every day TO see how much you
remember. You will progress. When
you find yourself at loss for some
thing to talk about, il is probably
because your idea Of conversation is
an occasion for yourself TO shine.
You want 10 say something brilliant
and interesting, which viii win the
admiration Of the other person Give
