Advice to the Lovelorn
Shall She Marry the Sailor?

Shall She Marry the Sailor?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am seventeen and recently be-
came acquainted, by Irritation at the
railroad station, with young sailor
two years my senior. His home is
in California, and he has been there
on furlough since Thanksgiving.
Since we met we have been cores
ponding quite regularly, and his let
ters have become more serious since
his return home. He has had his
mother write me two letters, which
were very nee. He expects to get
his discharge soon, and has asked
me to marry him and go to Califor-
MIA to live. Now, Miss Fairfax, as
am motherless, l ask your kind
advice. A. d.
Your sailor has certainly done his
best to atone for his indiscreet man
ner of your meeting. But as for
marrying him Immediately, my feel
ing is that you are too young, Then,
can it be that you know each other
well enough to be sure what you are
undertaking? And yo do not say
that you are in love with him. My
suggestion is that you wait at least
a year, so that you may both feel
sure of yourselves.
An "A" and "B" Problem.
Dear Miss Fairfax: H..
"A" a young man nineteen was
taken ill recently and at his request
an intimate friend of his, girl of
eighteen, called 3D." visited him at
his home. "B" came unescorted at
about 6 p. m. This was her second
visit, the first being made with a
married sister of her a few weeks
previous. "B" has known LAS" Sis
ter for almost two years, but has
not associated with her very inti-
mately.
When 1t was after o'clock CAS-"
sister asked "B"'to call up her moth
er saying she would stay with "A's"
sister overnight, for she had no one
to escort her through the park to
reach the elevated to get home. "B'
declined the invitation on the ground
that it was before 10 and that she
was not afraid.
We should like your opinion as
to whether it would have been suit
able for "B" to have accepted this
Invitation, as we have debated the
question with no result. H. X.
AS the invitation was doubtless
prompted merely by civility, it was
not necessary to consider it serious
ly and tho natural thing for "B" to
do was to go home as she did. But
aren't you making much of small
matter? If you believe there would
be any impropriety of one girls be-
ing the others guest merely because
of the young, man, you are quite
mistaken. If "B" had chosen to
accept the invitation there could
have been no ground for criticising
her.

SHORTHAND RECORD Is
BROKEN BY A REPORTER
OF NEW YORK'S COURT
Takes Down 1900 Words at Rate Of
800 q Minute With Only Ten
Mistakes Some Advance in
Writing Speed

Herman J. Stitch, a New York court
reporter, has broken the worlds
shorthand record by taking down
1900 words at the rate Of 800 words
u minute, with only 10 mistakes.
Five words a second!
This is important in the history OF
mans development. It represents the
supreme writing achievement Of 5000
years.
Fifty centuries ago men clothed in
skins and armed with flint headed
clubs invented hieroglyphies--the
first attempt to express thought in
writing. The stone age man wrote
word day.
The history of alphabets and writ
ing teaches us that man is never sat
isfied. Eternally he seeks a quicker
way Of doing things-a shortcut.
AS far back as the Romans we find
shorthand in use. The first system
was invented by Marcus Tullius Trio
the slave-secretary of Cicero.

called machinery to his aid in pen

kept informed Of the talk at society
tea tables.
AS a consequence many German Ia.
dies OF high degree were banished
from Berlin during the war and kept
under police surveillance. whilst Off
GERS and officials who had let their
tongues wag too freely for the Kais-
er's liking had unpleasant things hap
pen to them.
She never went to the Kaiser.
When he wished to consult her or to
give her instructions, he either Wis
tied her secretly or wrote to her with
his own hand without signing the
communication. The servants Of the
Countess and probably few Of the
people Immediately near the Kaiser
knew Of these visits, but they did
not know Of the purpose Of them.
Those best acquainted with condi-
tons as they existed In Berlin pre-
vious to the signing Of the armistice
and the Kaiser's abdication consider
1t probable that even now, while he
is in exile, the former Emperor is in
close touch with the Countess. who
keeps him posted on events that are
happening In his late empire.
