Advice to the
.LOvelOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax.
Not Yet Engaged.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am twenty. in love with a man ten
years my senior. He Is a man OF
wealth, and 1 am sure that he returns
my love, but owing to the objections
of his family, as 1 am poor working
girl, he has not yet asked me to marry
him. although he has told me OF his
love.
Now, my dear Miss Fairfax. do you
think he means to marry me?
Such a situation as you describe
is always more completely in the
hands of the woman than the man
or his family realize. There is
rather a crude phrase that de-
scribes it, known as playing your
cards WELL" of which you probably
know the meaning as well as l.
You must not let the difficult
situation in which you are placed
discourage you-you must have
endless patience, tact, and good
humor. At the same time you must
be absolutely circumspect, and,
above all things, do not let your
heart run away with your head. It
is the level-headed girls who win,
rather than their more impetuous
sisters.

stead OF taking her?
A Secret Out.
Mildred could not have gone"
Honora began. But Arthur checked
her by a gesture.
My dear Mrs. Higgins" he said,
''you have a right to know the
truth, and 1 am sure you will not
discuss the matter with anyone.
Mildred and 1 are no longer en-
gagged. She broke the engagement"
"Oh, nor Mrs. Higgins protested,
her plain face growing a shade
paler. "Oh, she could not have been
in earnest when she did that! 1 am
sure the poor child is perfectly mis-
erable about it. That explains her
behavior this evening"
"She is not miserable about it,
Arthur affirmed sternly. "She does
not love me. She has never loved
me. She would have been very un-
happy with me. That is sufficient"
"Oh, you poor, poor boy!" Mrs.
Higgins faltered, tears OF pity
rushing to her eyes. Then some
thing in the mans face checked
further expression or compassion.
There is no use in talking about
it," Arthur said with dignity. so
please let us say no more about 1t
to anybody"
Honora had risen and held out
her hand. Goodnight, Arthur"
she said, "and thank you"
Arthur Bruce'sN back was turned
now to Mrs. Higgins, so the house
keeper could not see the look in
the eyes gazing into Honora's. Nor
could she know what his warm
hand pressure meant to the nerV-
Gus girl.
But his only reply was Good
night Then he stood and watched
Honora Brent as she walked firmly
upstairs to the room she and her
sister shared.

O'Callaghan in disgust. "Oive been

FORCE BILL FOR SOUTH WOULD
CUT DOWN VOTE.
Senator Moses introduces Measure to
Compel Section to Grant Suffrage
Or Give Up.

Washington, d. C.-Senator George
H. Moses, of New Hampshire. has in
troduced a resolution calling for the
appointment of a committee of five
members of the House and five mem
bers of the Senate to investigate and
report before July LIST next, upon the
entire question of whether citizens
are persistently denied the right of
suffrage in the Southern States, and
to recommend legislation for the de-
crease of the representation in Con
gress from those States should il be
found that the right to vote has been
denied.
The South, which was in control Of
Congress during the war with Ger.
many, and restricted the price of the
farmers wheat, while it did not re-
strict the price of the planters cotton,
bases its representation, as other sec.
tions do, upon population, over twenty
one years of age. If a large part of
that voting population is denied the
suffrage because of color, or other,
wise, the South is not entitled to its
present representation.
In commenting upon his Resolution,
Senator Moses said that he had been
much impressed by the sudden acces
sion of political virtue demonstrated,
by the grand jury at Grand Rapids
where a partisan Department of Jus.
tice, in an eX-parte hearing. had pro
duced a flock of indictments in connec
tion with the last Senatorial Election
in Michigan. ut is refreshing" Sena,
tor Moses said, ito observe the ire.
mendous enthusiasm of the Democra
tic party for purity in elections, anC
it would be a great pity to allow this
divine afflatus to subside without de
irving its full benefit for the entire
country. The corruption of the Mich
gan electorate-if any occurred-is
most distressing. But it is no more
distressing than suppression of the
electorate in the Southern States
which IS so notorious as to require nc
evidence to be adduced. However, it
is desirable to establish all the facts
surrounding elections not only in
Michigan, but elsewhere, in order that
the purity of the personnel of Con
gress, in both branches, may be pro
tected against the presence of mer
who hold their seats in contraventior
of statutory or constitutional priv
ileges. The inquiry into Senator New
berry's title to his seat will not be
permitted to go forward alone. There
are many Interesting facts far remov
ed from Michigan which may BIZ

ton, and l shall use my best efforts
to see that this is done"
