The big surprise for US is the spirit

JOHN BEELER sends me copy of a letter sent out
by PRESIDENT MITTEN to employees Of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company 1t is further proof that with
nomical management proper wages be paid to employees
while the public pays ONLY FIvE-CENT CARFARE.
The public generally should understand that unless it makes
the most strenuous objection recorded street railways
will eventually ask for ten-cent fare and give no better
service than ever before.
President Mitten's letter is worth reading.
"To all employees
''We added $175OOOO to our annual pay roll in Augus
1918, and the cost by skip stops and other
economies
''We have added approximately $2250OOO to our
annual pay roll In August 1913, and will overcome the cost
by Withdrawing all duplicated unnecessary car serVos
and removing all wasted effort from the schedules
"We want rides at &C. not less rides at higher
fares.
'Street riding is habit which be encouraged
Cooperation in this, in all other matters viii work
wonders.
''The management must provide the best car service
for the greatest number of people at the lowest possible
cost

deavor to make the sreetcar ride agreeable expert

absolutely possible to live with a
man one only respects, and that
love is absolutely unnecessary. She
claims that love is only a passion
which gradually wears of when
the man has known his wife a few
months. She grants it might even
last a year, but after that there is
nothing left Of il.
And II the man does not learn to
hate you he simply settles down to
the "staid married life" and looks
upon you with the same kind Of
affection he gives his pet pipe, to
cast aside when he is through

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
! should like to say a word in
regard TO an article published in
your column the other evening, the
title Of which was: Can a Wo-
man Come Bat >" II the man
whose letter started the query
really loves the girl, he would take
her in spite of her confession and
never regret 1t.
He always regarded her as the
noblest and best of her sex" She
has proven herself to be a woman
OF exceptional character and great
ness by what she has done. In other
words he has a guarantee that she
will be sincere and that she will be
a life partner for him. that she
will always be true and that he can
trust her at all times.
This is where a woman eXcels a
man in whole heartedness. Where
a man would have said nothing Of
his past, the girl intends to keep
nothing from her life-mate. II mat
ters not what the girl did when she
was young. We all do things when
we are young that are not right,
because we are ignorant OF wrong.
If this man or any man would re-
call his past, he would be remind
ed of things that he would not
think of telling his wife-tO-be.
SO why not take her as the sweet,
true woman that she is. and act as
II he never knew her past. She does
not know his.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Being constant reader Of your
articles in the Times prompts me
10 ask you the following question:
am in love with my Aunts hus-
band-he is fOrty-four years old
she has passed away OF course
Now I am not any relation oT his
except that 7 was his niece by mar
riage-no blood KIM am twenty
years younger-is there any harm
in my marrying him?
Your kindness and fairness in
dealing with these questions
prompt me TO ask your advice
shall watch for an answer in The
Times. Thanking you ever so much.
A CONSTANT READER.
There is no legal impediment to
your marrying your deceased
aunt's husband in the District Of
Columbia. The only question is
the great difference of your ages,
and your own extreme youth; but
doubtless you have considered that
side of Shc case thoroughly.
