Advice to the LovelOrn
OF Course, Marry Him,

Dear Miss Fairfax
Is there any established custom
friends with a young man four
years my Junior.
We read and studied and went
about together, and drifted into a
close companionship. He wishes me
to become his wife. AS friends, the
difference in our ages did not matter
but it seems to me that by marrying
him 1 should be cheating him. Do
you think it probable that such u
marriage would turn out happily?
What happens to me does not
matter what happens to him is the
vital thing, so please don't mind my
feelings at all when you answer this.
l need somebody's honest opinion.
J. M. w.
Every word you say goes to prove
clearly that you are just the wife for
this man. First of all you have a
| splendid friendship based on con-
geniality of taste and ideals. Sec
ondly, you care so much for him
that any sacrifice seems small if il
will insure his happiness. What bet
ter can life offer man than a wife
who feels such unselfish devotion as
that? How can a girl who writes as

And with those kind words from
the poor female, who was beginning
again to sob, but with another mo-
tive in her weeping, 1 took my de-
parture down the street-or up-I
did not know in just which direction.
1 had the intention of returning to
the house of the party to obtain the
cherry, which 1 had left standing
before the door, and in it convey the
message to my Gouverneur Faux
ner that should bring relief to his
anxiety, but l soon found that L had
lost myself upon streets that l had
never seen before.
What was it that l should do? My
heart suffered that my GouVerneur
Faulkner should not know the relief
of that paper / had in the pocket of
my dinner coat, but l could not find
myself, and l did not know exactly
what questions I should ask. Then 1
bethought me of that telephone,
which in America is so much used.

store for medicines upon the corner
of one of the streets in my wander

find the number of the mansion of
the gouverneur, and. after many tell
ingS OF my desire at ldSI my SOuN-
erneur Faulkner made an answer in
my ear that was as beautiful in voice
as the words he spoke to me in his
presence.

This is Robert Carruthers who
speaks"
"Oh. all right youngster! How did
the party go?" --.-
THAT was a very nice party, your
excellency, and / have a paper from

murder of the brother of good
Timms for cruelty to Mary. l wish to

What do you mean, boy?"

"Then bring it here to me at once
and tell me how you got it,"
"I cannot come to you"
"Then I'll come to you. Where are
you?"
IT do not know. am lost"
Heavens, boy, what do you
mean?"
II am in a store of medicine that
is many streets from that house of
good Mary Brown and also from the
house of the dinner party"
You helpless young idiot, call
taxi and come right here to me-"
II am promised to a dance with
Mile. Belle by the hour of 10, of
which it lacks now only quarter.

Cannot l go in that taxicab, which
it is of much intelligence of you TO
suggest to me, and send by that taxi
cab to you the paper from Mary
Brown while l stay to dance that
dance?"
We'll I'll be No, 1 can't it

me all about it in the morning. VIII

from your rosy dreams?"
Il do not have coffee until 3
o'clock, my Gouverneur Faulkner,
and l do not make very hurried
toilet, but 1 will come to you at the
capitol at o'clock, if you so COM
mand, very gladly"
"Oh, no. Well all of us just-just
cool our heels until you get your cof-
fee and toilet. Don't hurry, L beg of
you. Good night. and beat it to Belle
as Buzz would say. Good night, you
YOU But I'll say it in the morning
if it takes a half day. Good night

tation my Gouverneur Faulkner's S
voice died from the telephone with
what l thought had the sound of a
very nice laugh.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

Does war make literature, or
break it?, asks Barton Blake edi-
torally in Golfers. When one reads
of the death of a Brooke or a Seeg-
err" he continues, and of the deaths
of thousands of other young men,
not yet known to fame, but with the
seeds of greatness in them, since
they were eager and young and un-
afraid-when one reads of the
slaughter in Europe, one feels GER
tain that letters can only lose by
war" But upon reflection we dis
cover as Mr.. Blake points out, that
the great masterpieces of some
great writers are the products of the
battlefields: War gives us-not all
at once, but soon or late-Tolstoy,
Daudet, and Maupassant; Whit
mans poems, Stephen Cranes Red
Badge of Courage" and, to come
down to the minute, such stories as
THE Parisian," and THE Three
Slavs', by Alden Brooks of the
French Artillery lin THE Fighting
Men," Scribner's) And what, unless
a righteous war, made possible the
speech of Lincoln at Gettysburg, and
his second inaugurational? He
might well have included too that
perfect little narrative, La Guerre-
Madame, which he so admirably
translated into Englisht-The War,
Madame.

When l awakened the next morn

it was 10 of the clock and IL thereto
before 1 arrived in a very great
hurry with much pinkness of cheeks
in the office of the Gouverneur
Faulkner at the capitol of the state
of Harpeth.
Good morning, Robert he said TO
me with a laugh as he came and
stood close beside me. That Roberta,
marquise of Gree and Bye, will blush
within me when that beloved gouv-
erneur comes very close beside her,
in a way that is an Embarrassment
to Robert Carruthers, his secretary.
And now tell me what you said to
that stupid Mary Brown that made
her see the Light" he asked me, with
his fine eyes looking into mine with
a great interest and something of ad-
miration.
II asked of her If she would not
throw herself before that beloved
good Timms If knife was aimed at
his heart, and she perceived from
that question that she must give TO
me the paper. A heart that has felt a

me that you should sit at work while
I was at dancing" 1 answered to him
as l drew nearer and laid my hand
with timidity upon the sleeve of his
coat.
Heavens, boy! Do they grow
many like you in F'rance?" was the
answer that the great Gouverneur
Faulkner made to me as he looked
down into the alteration of my eyes
raised to his, with a question that
was of deep bewilderment.
France has grown many young
and fine men who-who die, my

to its entire height in the likeness of

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

The long waist is apt to be be-
coming to very little girls and
this frock shows the belt most
becomingly arranged. The
killed skirt below is a good one,
too, for it allows freedom of
movement and activity at the
same time that it gives smart
lines. The blouse is perfectly
plain and simple but the double
breasted closing and the collar
give it a very smart touch. 1t
and the skirt are joined one to
the other with a narrow belt
and the trimming belt arranged
over the smaller belt. Here,
white linen is trimmed with blue
but a pretty effect could be OBJ,
tanned by making the dress al
of white and scalloping the
edges of the collar, cuffs anc

The Home of the Bride

Dear MISS FalfIaS
Is there any established custom
which forbids a bridegroom to So
iourn as a guest in the home of his
intended bride during the days im-
mediately preceding and up to the
day of their marriage even though
he has always been thus entertained
during the early part of their en-
gagement?
1t is understood that the home or
the bridegroom is in another city
and that he has no other place to go
privately either among relatives or
friends under these circumstances
would it be unhospitable If he were
mony. But that is absurd as is any
allowed to go to a hotel
NJ. T. D.
There is no reason whatever why
a groom should not be a guest in
the home of the bride-to-be. There
used to be silly, old superstitution
that on the day of the wedding
the groom must not see the bride
up to the hour of the wedding cere-
question such as your letter seems to
raise.
