to call TO our help the powers which signed
the treaties of 1913 and 1S15. The

"Anything Rather
Than Write"
Dear ME F.aIrfaN

Dear MISS EalrIaNs
have been corresponding with
young man fve years my senior who
has ofen told me he loved me. Lately
his letters have come very irregularly.
So I. in a 1T OF impatlence wrote
and asked him II he could not write
oftener or was he getting tired Of me.
(HH used to write twice weekly. but
lately they have come two and three
weeks apart) He said: in answer 10
my letter, that he had written me
oftener In the past six months than
he had to his own people in six years.
And that now he would do any
thing sooner than write me"
would like to renew own friend
ship but do not know how to 90 about
II. As I am OF a rather reserved dis
position. and do not like to push my
friendship. will you please advise mo
what to do7 UNHAPPY"
My dear girl. there Is absolutely
nothing for you TO do but get over
your infatuatiOn for this young cad
as quickly as possible. When 4 man
writes TO a girl. that now he would
do anything, sooner than write TO her"
there ought to be a feeling Of devout
thankfulness on her part that the mat
ter went no farther.
II he could be so rude TO you because
you hattereda his vanity. by inquiring
why he didn't write oftener he would.

that makes me sick and unhappy.
can't move away. because I
don't know where to go. Please
advise me. Yours.
HEART-BRoKEN.
Your letter. Hsart-Broken. has
the pathos OF a very genuine feel
ing, which IS quite wasted on the
man you unconsciOusly describe.
You are under the same roof with
his wife, and he makes love to you.
Nothing could be more disloyal or
dishonorable. You say you are
twenty-nine years old and lonely.
Judge from the text OF your let
ter that you are in a strange coun-
try. These circumstances ought to
appeal to a mans better nature,
instead OF his worst.
To save yourself further unhap-
piness you ought to change your
home Immediately and try to for
get about one who appears to be
utterly selfish. Just at present the
world has need OF every pair Of
hands that have been created. Try
in attempting something new and
useful to make q fresh start And
in all probability you will soon
meet someone worthy OF your affec-
tlon.

Soldier Seeks to
Correspond
Dear Miss Fairfax:

lear MISS T AlElhAs
have received a letter from a
young man IN a training camp,
requesting that / correspond with
him. I do not know him. Ny
older brother severely reprimand-
ed me for even considering the
matter. saying that II would be
decidedly unladylike. Please tell
me your opinion on the subject.
and also II he should come up to
this city. in which his home IS.
would II be proper for me to
permit him to call at the house.
Several OF my girl friends under
the same circumstances are like
wise awaiting your decision be-
fore answering their letters.
NJ. A. K.
These stirring days, hearts go
out so eagerly to our brave SOL
dier boys, that It IS difficult to
realize, sometimes we ought to
abide by the conventions, the same
as in times OF peace.
Doubtless this young man in uni
form is everything he should be.
certainly he is doing his part, but
can't help agreeing with your
brother. that an Introduction is
necessary before he writes or calls
on you.
But with all the organizations.
and citizens committees. anxious 10
make things pleasant for men in
uniforms. an introduction ought not
to be difficult to manage. \ num-

The next time you take a fancy

Influence of bad
COnDanV."

Ny Dear Miss Fairfax:
am a girl, twenty-one years
old, one Of the .old-fashioned kind,
who takes more Interest in her
home than in frequeltinE dance
halls, cabArets, etc.
About three months ago I met
young man in the United States
service, a stranger TO this city,
but staying here, awaiting, en-
barkRtiOn to go "over there" He
is twenty-five years old.
Since that time he has been Q
frequent visitor at my home.
Wishing to be honest with me, ha
told me he thought I ought to
know. before the friendship pro-
gressed any further. that his life
had not been lived in accordance
with the strict cOnventionalities
OF life. In fact, he had strayed
from the straight and narrow"
path and came under the infiu-
ence Of bad company"
Since he had met me. however,
he had realized his mistake and
resolved to give up the old life
and live his life in the way he
knew I would want q friend OF
mine TO live.
W ueH ne asked my decision /
told him l could not give 1t to
him then, but would have to con-
slider the matter, and as soon as
I had decided on the course /
thought best I would send for
him and let him know. Respect
fully, A r.
think from your letter, all of
which ! have not given. that you
must be a thoroughly nice girl who
would make a man a good wife. You
appear to consider life from a good
many different angles, and that
cannot be too highly commended in
n girl who has her entire future
In her hands.
It. IS. OF course. to be regretted
that your soldier boy has como
under the influence OF bad company,
but as long as he confessed his fail
ing and seems anxious to turn
over new leaf, / think another
trial would only be the, fair thing
on your part, particularly as you
seem to care about him.
II would be too bad. l think, to
let him sail for France. without an
understanding. He Is doing the
splendid thing In riskinE his life
