Can't You Forget Him?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


About three months ago L met a
young man through business, as he
was in an office that necessitated his
coming into my office. From all ap-
pearances I thought he liked me.
Two weeks ago he was changed to
another office very Unexpectedly, and
consequently I have never seen or
heard from him since.
He has the addresses Of both my
residence and my office, and I also
have two phones on which he could
call me.
I like this young man very much.
What would you advise?
LONESOME.
OF course false pride is an eXpen-
sive luxury, and If the young man
had ever shown any real signs of in
teresting you, / would advise you to
forego it. But since you have no par
ticular reason to suppose that he is
giving you a second thought, why give
him so many? If you do not see him
or hear from him ] am sure you will
forget him; and If you wrote to him
you might find that you had belittled
yourself to no purpose.

"Is this because they got your money

"Never mind my money. I've got a

De Spain asked what the job was.
"On the stages" announced Lefever.

"Tm not going to take that Job,

"No," returned De Spain medita.

ENTHUSIASM IS
CURE FOR BLUES
Beatrice Fairfax Advises Work
For Those Who Bore
Themselves /
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Boredom is an unhappy condition
from which neither prince nor pauper
is immune. Neither great possessions
not utter poverty insure against it.
AS a cure for ennui, great philo-
sopher offered this prescription:
when you are tired, do something,
and when you are trired of that, do
something else"
But in its modern Interpretation the
command to do something" is likely
to lead the individual into q feverish
rush and furry, which make him tear
madly from one thing to the next
without ever entering into the thing
he is doing with zest or spirit or of
real understanding of his own effort.
Real enthusiasm is q wonderful
thing-but it is only disantly related
to the excited hurry and scurry and
rush and hustle which most people
mistake for enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm need not rave and pro-
test in order to prove itself; rather
it enters into what it is doing with q
warm, zestful joy in the mere desire
to make the best of each moment.
Real enthusiasm puts it's best effort
effort into each step in the game. 1t
carries out every consecutive move
toward what it is accomplishing as il
that move were the entire situation.
You cannot be bored when you are
making French dressing if you meas
ure out your seasoning and blend the
oil into that and the vinegar into that
with the burning enthusiasm to make
that French dressing the best that
ever was concocted!
Building a bridge to span a great
river requires infinitely more thought
and study than merely designing q
dress. But it takes the same knowl-
/ edge of its own game, the same quail
ity of constructive ability and the
same powerful concentration on the
subject at hand to see IL little job
| through to successful finish that it
does to perfect masterpiece.
You can't possibly be bored If you
keep you from growing stale at any
| fill your life with enough variety to
one job and if you see one field of ac-
complishment as your world of eX-
/ preston and insist on making good
in it.
The people who have most right
in all this world to be bored are
nothing to worry about but where
they are going next and how they are
going to get there. Pleasure always
eludes the people who pursue her di-
rectly and there is nothing in the
world more agoniZing and tiresome
than the need of planning how to get
through a day somehow.
People who have too much to do
are seldom bored. Tired to the point
of exhaustion they may be; sorry for
themselves they have no right to be.
for to have something to do and the
ability to do it successfully is the
only rea lantidote against boredom.

CHAPTER II.
De Spain Changes HIs Mind.

BEFORE De Spain had walked far he
heard music from the open-alr dancing
pavilion in Grant street. Stirred by an
idle curiosity, he turned the corner
and stopped to watch the crowded
couples whirling up and down the
raised platform under paper lanterns
and red streamers to the music of an
automatic piano. He took his place in
a fringe of onlookers that filed the
oidewalk. But he was thinking as he
stood, not of the boisterous dancing OF
the clumsy dancers, but of the broken
lever and the defeat at the fairgrounds.
1t still ranked in his mind. While he
stood thinking the music ceased.

CURRENT COMMENT.

r ET'S have some sense. The war Il
- going on until somebody, prefer
ably Germany is licked. The con
scription law will stand. There will
be hardship, privation, suffering
death and disaster. Many homes will
be bereaved. Many promising young
men will be cut down by death. We
have passed the point where we can
stop and argue whether the stake is
worth the sacrifice. Let's face the
situation with courage and a deter
mination to see it through.

ND there are these things to re
member. every great privilege that
we, as a nation, enjoy was won in
battle. Every heroic deed written in
to the annals of this country was per-
formed by soldier or sailor. Ev-
cry memory which the nation holds
priceless is stained with the blood of
those who in battle array followed
the flag. 1t is time to get right on
the proposition that this is not our
war. 1t is everybody's war. Free
dom, justice, truth and right are at
stake.

A NATION does well to honor the
young men who rally to her de
tense; who offer, if needs be, the su.
preme sacrifice of life in that service
To them shall be the great physical
hardship of war, the cruel nervous
strain of fighting, the thirst and ag-
ony and all varied forms Of hell a
modern battle breeds. The best the
nation has to give is not too good for
them, and it should be given ungrudg-
ingly, and their services not soon for
gotten. But there is another army
which stays behind to which a word
of sympathy is due. A few days ago
young man offered his services to
his country. An examination dis
closed physical disabilities of such a
character that he was declared unfit
for service. Scattered throughout the
nations are thousands such as he, who
long to fight their country's battles
but who are denied that privilege be-
cause they are not physically fit. And
there are other thousands held at
home by age limitations and duties to
dependent parents, wives, and child
rem. This vast army of those who
want to go and can't, for one reason
or another, are due for a different
hardship than those who go, and if it
is less keen than the suiferings of
those who do go, the fact that it lasts
longer must be considered. For them
will always be the thought that here
is the greatest war the world has
known, waged for the perpetuation of
liberty and justice, and they are de-
MED the active part they would have
chosen if left to their own free will
They will live on with the unpleasant
feeling for company that they have
missed their chance, rightfully, per-
haps, but no less certainly, and such
a feeling is not pleasant company for
full grown man of patriotic and
martial tendencies.
