TALKS BY
BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Some time ago a special article ap-
peared in this column under the title
OF Girls Who Do Not Attract Men"
And since that time letters have con-
tinued to come to me from girls on this
subject The following letter, by all
odds the most interesting, is one of
those human documents the absolute
sincerity of which makes it a privilege
to read.
The letter contains the story of a
girl who came back after a bitter and
heartbreaking experience l wish it
were possible for me to give her entire
letter, word for word, just as she wrote
it out of the fullness of a heart that
has known loneliness, the blackness of
despair, but has never been wholly
quenched.
And l think in spite of the misfor-
tunes of her childhood, she owes much
of her residence to her Irish tempera-
ment The Irish have more lives than
the proverbial cat, and nothing has
ever been able to kill their splendid
courage or warp their souls. At home
the lrishman may be "A political pawn,
but away from home he plays chess
very skilfully with the rest of crea-
ton.
Being Irish undoubtedly helped my
in the world, as it will help her some
day to find happiness. The personal
letter l wrote this girl failed to reach
her, much to my regret
1t May Help Some Other Girl
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Some time ago / read an article in
your column about Girls Who Do
Not Attract Men" May 1 have some
thing to say, too, in regard to this?
And please publish my letter for the
good 1t may perhaps do some other
girls who are now going through what
1 did.
1 am twenty-eight and now filling a
position as governess in a wealthy New
York family. Washington is my birth
place and my old home-my parents
were Irish. 1 love the Irish devotedly
but, remember, there are good and
bad in all. and fate picked me two i'm
possible creatures for my keepers dur
ing infancy and childhood. Both were
drunkards even as a small child |
remember my humiliation in coming
home from school and finding the house
in disorder, breakfast dishes unwashed,
floors unswept, beds unmade and both
parents drinking.
At fourteen l went to work In a de-
partment store as cash girl, receiving
So a week. IN my fifteenth year l de-
cided to attend night high school, and
at eighteen received my diploma.
A friend of mine-a good musician
gave me piano lessons free. l after

atory in Paris and went there to con-

Minister, and a member of the JAP

here that Japan intends TO settle"
the Shantung question so promptly
that it is impralcticable to set a

Baron Goto came to Washington on
route from Paris to Toxic, to pay his
respects to President Wilson, but was
prevented by the Presidents illness
from calling at the White House
Japan, he said, will soon ratify the
Versailles treaty and, when that is
done, she will ask Germany to hand
over to her all documents concerning
Shantung. Then" Baron Goto de-
clared, Japan will submit to China
a definite and liberal proposition as
to the settlement of German rights.
/ am confident that this will be done
within a few months.

Our picnic was a great success. Neal
and Phoebe liked Irma Warren at
sight and she made no effort to dis
guise the fact that she thought them
tho most wonderful element of mi
raculous occasion. Tom beamed, and
his pleasure knew no bounds, when
Neal-out of his growing knowledge
or real estate values-pronounced
Hidden Brook-the place Tom was
considering-a good buy"
suppose you go after the Rhine
Vile Estate tomorrow and put in
an offer on Hidden Brook" said Tom.
You don't need a broker. You
found the place. and while it's darn
white of you to offer to let me in,
you might as well close without me-"
replied Neal.
Don't sass your Uncle Tommie
What do you think I brought you
along for, young fellow, except to
ring an expert in on this deal? You're
here in your professional capacity
and not because Uncle Thomas can't
resist your taking ways" replied Tom
so heartily and generously that Neal
made no further demur and Phoebe
beamed at her boys growing import
A little later. however. as we were
finishing lunch by the tiny forest
brook from which the place takes its
name, Tom got a startling reaction
from what he had said. He is, as
have often noticed, far too old and
jaded looking for his years, which are
not much more numerous than Jim's.
But the fulness of his lips and the
narrowness of his jaded eyes, to-
gether with the rapier keenness of
his face above his big indolent body.
give him a look of world-knowledge
and world-weariness that is far re-
moved from youth.
The old Harrison place isn't FIVE
miles from here-are you aware of
that. children?" asked Tom suddenly
"Oh. how nice!" cried Irma War
rem with warm enthusiasm. IF you
all have an estate near here I sup
pose you'll come often to see your
uncle:" Then she turned to Tom
with JOY in his good fortune. Il
know how lonesome Uncle Graham
was before I came to live with him,
so I'm glad you'll have nieces and
nephews to keep you from feeling
alone"
The look of chagrin on Toms face
was amusing.
DO look as old as that? To be
classed with Mr.. Haldane." he pro-
tested.
"Oh. uncle's young" replied Irma
as artlessly as tactlessly, adding
when she saw the look of actual
hurt on Toms face. Not that I
don't realize you're ages younger.
Ages and ages"
But in the Uncle Class" pro-
tested Tom.
Irma blushed and stammered But
Mr.. Hyland said-I thought

piled Tom with more bitterness than
the occasion seemed to warrant.

But Smith remained standing. "It
is not necessary, sir. l know you
are busy"
There was a subtle change in the
chauffeur's bearing that made the
employer slightly uncomfortable.
To hide this he spoke more
brusquely than usual.
II prefer having you take a CT air,
Smith. If I had been too busy to
have you come here I would not
have sent for YOU"
David sat down. There was an
awkward silence. 1t was broken
by the older man.
II want to explain to you, Smith,
that l regret that such a fuss was
made about the disappearance of
Miss Leighton's pendant. I am sure
you can understand, however, that,
under the circumstances. it was
natural that

IT quite understand. sir" the
young man said. that one might
suspect an employe-unless his ere
dentials had been such as to war
rant one in trusting him"
The speech was not the speech of
Smith, the chauffeur, but of one
man talking to another whose
equal he was in birth and breeding.
Leighton flushed.
IT admit that a mans credentials
should protect him from suspicion"
he said gruffly. And I regret that
in this case there was even a
shadow of suspicion cast upon you.
Yet, Smith, had our positions been
reversed, you would probably have
felt as 1 did"
Possibly" Smith admitted, but
pardon me If I say that my doubts
would not have been mentioned un-
til I had every reason to believe
them justified"
An Apology
But I never mentioned them to
any one" the older man began, then
added mean-only my daughter
and myself-and my jeweler-knew
of the disappearance of the pendant

Seeks to Collect
His Verdict of $4,000

Sunbury, Pa, Oct. 4.-Joseph Cas-

awarded a verdict of $4,000 for per-
sonal injuries against the Susque-
hanna Coal Company by jury III

to-day took out an execution in an
effort to collect the verdict. Inas-

Company has bought this property,
there may be legal complications, it
is said, before he gets his cash.
Casbratett was badly injured
when a ladder rung broke and let
him fall into hump. The accident
happened more than two years ago,
