the butt of ignorant wit in the East

goes away and finds that he needs a
dog that is good for something he

the opinion that there is a possibility
of the Administrations being able to
reduce freight rates next year. But
Mr.. McAdoo will retire from office
soon and his successor may not take a
similar view of the situation. 1t may
be that the public would not object
strongly to a continuation of the ex-
listing schedules If It could see a part
of the proceeds devoted to extensions,
improvements and betterments Of the
service. What the American people
are greatly opposed to is increased
costs when accompanied by poorer
service as in the case of the postoffice

Unrequited Affection.

According to tradition, as handed
down by our grandmamas and old
fashioned novels, the young women Of
the past had extremely well regulated
hearts that never skipped q beat, or
nuttered, or gave any other evidence
of being affected by the presence of q
young man, until the said young man
had declared his intentions.
According to these same veracious
authorities, no modest young maiden
ever fell in love with 8. man before he
fell in love with her. She would have
been incapable of such q thing. On
the contrary. she remained in a strictly
neutral state SO far as affection was
concerned until he up and popped
the question. whereupon she said:
"Oh, Mr. Smithers, this is SO sud-
den. 1 never even dreamed that you
thought that way about me. Yoe
must give me time to consult my

tanned o deathless affection. Of which
she had not previously suspected her
self, for the as-before-said Mr.. Smith
ers. And they were married ana lived
happily ever after.
times young women do not appear to
have their hearts under the perfect
control that their grandmothers did.
A girl doesn't wait for a man to make

she wants or not. She frequently sees
him before he sees her, and unfor-
tunately sometimes he does not see

get hundreds of letters from these
victims OF unrequ1ted affection In
which the writer's tell me that they
love men who do not love them. and
ask me how a girl shall 60 about win
ming a mans heart
It is a situation that Is full of pathos
and tragedy because q mere conven-
ton stands between many of these
young women and happiness. If the
girl who is in love with a man were al
free to WOO him az q man in similar
circumstances is to WOO the girl he
wants for a wife, undoubtedly the ma
jority of them would win their hearts
desire.
Matches are made of many little
| things. propinquity. little attentions,
delicate batteries. and most OF all the
knowledge that another loves US. that
another admires, that another asks
nothing else OF life but to be near US
and to cherish and protect us.
These are the weapons with which
a man attacks the citadel of the heart
of the woman he wants. and they
! would be Just as effective in feminine
hands as they are In masculine.
