pictures of the charming spots one visits

fad-it is laying up store of enjoyment

ADVICE TO THE
=, LOVELORN
Keeps Two Lovers Guess
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Many years ago 1 was intro
dnced TO a young girl, when both
OF US went TO school, but we
never. paid any attention to each
other. About a year ago I was
brought in close contact with the
young lady's mother, and from
that time to the present devoted
all my leisure moments to the
courting OF the young lady her
self. For about a year a day did
not pass without our seeing each
other. A month ago another man
appeared on the scene. From
what 1 have been able to learn
he paid the girl some attention
in the past. His circumstances
are not OF the best and to me
it seems that his appearances
have appealed to the romantic
side OF the girls nature. 1t looks
o. like "a close race to me, and the
young lady is not able to make
a decision, preferring to keep US
both guessing, which I'cannot en-
dure. want her choice to be a
wise one, and will abide by what
ever she decides. Canyon tell me,
how to help her make up her
mind?
A PUZZLED READER.
This is very aGitating situation,
1 must confess. And I know Of no
legitimate way of Fastening the
decision OF a girl who is choosing
between two lovers. hope the
other man is as fair and reason
able as you are, and wish you the
best of luck.

Loves His Classmate.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


am extremely in love with a
young lady, whom I have met at
college. But I cannot think Of
any way OF expressing my amour
to her. She sits beside me in my
English class and am sure She
feels the same toward me.
Would it be impertinent to ask
TO call on her and pay my re-
spects? am not sure OF the
method OF procedure. Is 1t proper
to bring flowers or candy or what
not? F. K.
Since you are fellow students, the
conditions seem favorable for the
easy, natural development Of an
acquaintance. This being the case,
try not to be too self-conscious as
to social formalities. AS soon as
you know the charming English
student a little better you can ask
permission to call on her. Perhaps
your studies will readily afford a
pretext for this. But don't en-
barrass her and yourself by bring
ing flowers or anything else, the
first time you call, at least.

CHANGES IN COUNTY JOBS.
New JanitOr at Court House and
New Steward at Poor Farm

The annual appointment for var
ious county positions took place at
the court house Monday, and as re-
suit there will be several new names
on the official roster for 1920.
One Of the efficient men who lost
out this year on reappointment was
Dennis Koran, the janitor Of the
court house and Jail who has held
this position for about twelve years,
and to the satisfaction to all concern
ed. The salary paid is $1,000 year.
We understand some reservation was
put in Mr.. Horan's application,
which the board, we presume did not
approve and w. r. Wheatman, the
only other one to make application
got the appointment. Wheatman has
been the city street commissioner
for the past year, and will take his
new position the lrst Of the year.
Another change made was that of
the steward at the county home, held
for the past two years by Steward
Henry Gross. This job pays 5000 per
year and James Hallman, who has
been the day man at the home got
the appointment.
c. F. Bertossa was appointed night
man and Mary Fortcamp reappoint-
ed matron.
The Office Of county physician
went to DR.. A. F. Barfoot, and over
seer of the poor to J. H. Hargreaves.
There were no applications in foc
day man or cook at the county home
and new bids will be readvertised
for these positions.

Marion Green, Former DEBORAH Boy
Made Big Hit i'm Monsieur
BeauCaire."'

The following article from two
theatrical papers will be read with
interest by the DEBORAH friends of
Marion Green, son of DR.. and Mrs.
II. H. Green, who recently returned
, from most successful trip to Lon
don:
To have won in few months bril-
liant success as an opera singer and
an actor does not fall to the lot of
many, but such has been the expert
ence of Marion Green, the Chicago
singer.
That he succeeded is proven by
the splendid reputation he made for
himself as a concert singer thruout
the United States. Not satisfied,
however, Mr.. Green in 1914 placed
himself under the management of
Mrs. Gertrude f. Cowen, who, recog-
nizing that the young singer possess
ed a marvellous voice and believed
absolutely in him urged that he study
further under recognized teacher
and, thru her influence. maze II pos
sible for him to place nimselr unna~
the instruction OF Campanini. the
celebrated teacher, with whom he
worked conscientiously
Early in 1916 Mrs. Gilbert Miller
came to America from England for
the purpose of finding a singer for
the name Part I'm the new opera,
Monsieur Beaucaire," which her
husband, Gilbert Miller, was prepar-
ing for production. Mrs. Cowen
heard of her quest and urged that
Mr.. Green try for the position. Never
having acted, never having taken
part in an opera, Mr.. Green was diff
Iident about obtaining hearing
with Mrs. Miller, but this was finally
arranged and resulted in Mrs. Miller
Immediately offering him a contract.
1t was just at this time, however,
that the air raids began in England
and theatrical managers were forced
to abandon all plans for production,
hence the contract with Mr.. Green
lapsed for over year. Immediate
ly after the signing of the armistice
Gilbert Miller cabled to Mr.. Green
and solely thru his influence were
the Passports and all the necessary
papers promptly obtained, and Mr..
Green found it possiable to sail for
England within a fortnight.
In the meantime Mr.. Miller had
already started to rehearse the Choir
us, and, despite the short time Mar
ion Green had for rehearsing, and
with absolutely no previous expert
ence in acting. he made an instant
aneous success the first night the new
opera was given in Birmingham. But
a brief season was played in that
city, and Monsieur Beaucaire" open

once received the unlimited approval
of the public, and the press, with no
