Her Mother DisapprOves.

lter MOtner DlAhppFOFeSs
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a young girl of 20 years
and very much in love with
young man. My mother objects To
my going with him for no reason
that ! can see. He is a very con-
scicntious man and his character
j. very noble. l wish to marry him,
and he wishes To marry me. but I
do not like TO do so on account Of
my mothers objection. She has
another man in view for me to
marry, but l do not like this man.

she stays in and studies. the girls
call her an old maiu and that set
ties the question, for whether she
is an old maid, in mind or years,
it's all the same to the gentlemen,
for they shun the type, even at the
age of twenty-five. l think when
you judge the men you have as
hard a job as men have judging
women. \ GIRL

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My friends say I am very foolish
and am missing the time of my life
by not going around to d5nces, the
aters, and the like with b1ys, but I
don't see it that way.
! can have a good time with the
boys. and just as good a time with
out them. l am eighteen and vio-
Iinist, and l hope to make some-
thing big out of my music 1t takes
the greater part of my time, too.
would ten times rather be home
entertaining Mr.. Fiddle than sitting
at a card table all evening. I have
a $50 allowance a month from my
mother, so I am able 10 buy my own
theater tickets and pay for my
amusc nentS. DO you really think,
Miss Fairfax, that 1 am missing
much, after all? T. +.
1t is very refreshing to get a
sensible letter like this, and / shall
expect to hear of this young lady
on the concert stage some time.
At eighteen she is far wiser to de-
vote herself to her violin than to
having love affairs, particularly
as she does not seem to want them
vet awhile. When the time comes
for her TO fall in love, she will
love deeper and better for the SEN
sible girlhOod she has chosen.

RAILROAD WORK IS HAMMERED BY
 FR|G|O WEATHER

For the past few days the work of the steel gang, south of the bridge at i3-mile, has been rendered impossible owing to the cold weather No steel has been laid since Friday, and Superintendent Packer told the News representative this morning that if the weather moderated some it might be possible to lay some steel commencing this afternoon; no work being possible this morn ing.
 The steel now reaches approxi- mately one mile beyond the bridge at 43-milc, and when such work is possible, the steel gang will lay approximately one thousand feet of track daily until the gap in the grade, which is at present about two and one-quarter miles ahead has been reached
 When this point has been reached and until such time as the grade is connected up, the steel gang will be brought to town for the purpose of laying temporary track across the river to connect with the Fair banks right of way. Material and supplies will then be freighted over for distribution along the line at camps and stores to be put up for that purpose, and everything will be got in readiness for commencing operations as soon as possible in the spring.
