Advice to the LOvelOrn
ARE BLONDEs DECEITFULt


DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:
L am a blonde % years old and
have been on very friendly terms with
a man three years my senior for two
years. L am sure We would become
more than friends to each other if it
weren't for one thing-my being a
blonde. 1t seems his friends have
constantly been warning him that a
union between us would end disast-
rously as blondes always prove tickle.
Although l have never in word or
deed deceived my friend, l am afraid
he viii finally be influenced by his
friends. Now, Miss Fairfax, is there
anything | can do or say which will
convince him that all blondes are not
deceitful and tiCkle2
JESSIE.
Is 1t possible that this young mans
entire acquaintance is brunette with
the exception of yourself? And is
there no blonde among the members
of his own family? lie doubtless al
ready places deep confidence in one
or more blondes and there should be
no difficulty in leading him to see how
absurd this blonde-and-brune di-
vision of human beings is.
But there is another aspect of your
problem. Can you yourself trust q
nan who is so easily influenced by his
friends? II he has known you for
two years and has found you respon-
sible and sympathetic always. what
further proof can you be expected to
supply that the prejudice against
blondes is ridiculous?

A mother wha has an affection
ate relationship with her son is
doomed to suffer, sooner or later.
The day when he falls in love is
sure to mean misery for her even
though the son should remain as
constant as possible to herself and
the girl he loved were a seraph
with glistening wings.
There's no escaping the wrench
that this brings. It's more inevi-
table than the pangs of birth, or
than those of death, even.
But what does remain within the
control of mothers is their way of
meeting this experience. And the
mother who loves her son in the
right way isn't going to let jeal-
ousy get the better of her at this
critical point in their lives She
may believe that she's submitting
to being displaced but she's bent on
doing it with grace and sportsman
ship.
The hardest thing mothers have
to realize, and the thing some moth
ers never realize at ali, is unat their
sons relations with girls or young
women don't properly concern
them.
II they have conscientiously dis
charged every duty of motherhood
up to the time when youth can
reasonably think of himself as
lover, there is absolutely nothing
else they can do except withdraw
from the stage and watch for the
appearance of the starry young
creature who is going to play lead
ing role in that next act.
A mother may enjoy persuading
herself that her son needs her ad-
vice and aid in choosing a girl to
fall in love with. But she is max
ing a very serious mistake If she
acts on this idea.
Mothers Candidate.
She may attempt positive infiu-
ence, which takes the form of in
viting the colorless daughter of
well-connected friends to visit at
the house. And the son may set
his teeth and make himself agree
able to the unmagnetic young lady
for a week at a time. But he isn't
likely to fall into the marriage
trap so unbeguiingly baited, and he
is likely to feel some resentment
toward his mother for her oficious-
ness.
Other mothers, with a talent for
intrigue, try negative influence.
That is, they make a point of de-
feating every love-project that they
know their sons 70 entertain. After
expert working in the dark to dis
cover where the young mans in
terest tends, they unscrupulously
devise schemes either TO separate
the man and the girl, or cause dis
agreement between them.
There are mothers who seem ut
terly without conscience, from the
extent to which they meddle in their
sons love-affairs. Their defense
would be that they love their sons
too much to see them get entangled
with the wrong girl, and that it's
great deal kinder and more benevo-
lent to do ones meddling secretly
than openly
And so skillful are these mater
nal schemers, and so confiding are
their sons that say it with some
regret-they almost never get
found out. !
Love Must BE Tree.
If a son isn't able 20 choose his
own beloved wisely, l can't see that
his mother can help the situation
any. He's grown up. He's the
product of her training. Now let
him act independently and freely.

Here Is Something for tho World
to Consider.

There is no name given under
Heaven but Jesus Christ whereby We
must be saved.
Whosocver bclievcth that Jesus is
the Christ is born OF God and can not
sin; and deadly poison can't hurt
them. Tho works that Jesus Christ
did they can do also and greater works
can they do in the name OF Jesus
Christ, so says ST. John 14-12. Ac-
cording to the New Testament Jesus
healed the sick, raised the dead open
cd the eyes OF the blind, cast out Dev-
lis and many other things.
Now l don't believe that there is
one man in the world that believes
that Jesus is the Christ, except l see
a man do these works l will not be-
lieye because what the New Tesla
ment says is right.
l am witness to the New Tesla
ment about the suffering Of Christ.
In August 1916 a spirit went in my
right nostril and down in my body. I
felt it going i'll but didn't know what
1t was, but afterwards sin revived and
caused a mighty suffering in the
flesh.
In Romans 10 when the command

the spirit is life because Of righteous

teth against the spirit and the spirit

arm yourselves likewise with the same

the flesh hath ceased from sin.
L Peter. 81. The elders which are
