ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Refused to Kiss Him.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Some time ago, while attend
ing a weekend party, met a
young man, twenty-siX years. and
during the few days we became
very good friends. l judged him
to be a young man of very fine
character. He called on me
shortly after and we spent a very
pleasant evening. However, when
he asked me to kiss him good
night, l refused rather strcuu-
ously, and he left very angry. It
is now quite a long time since
that evening. and although lie has
called me up a number OF times,
he never asks to see me.
think a great deal ~ this
young man, and would like TO
gain his friendship. 1 am not the
butterfly type of girl and only
have q few friends who | think
are worth while. PUZZLEo
Now that you and your acquaInt-
ance understand each other On the
subject OF kissing, l see no reason
why you should not take the ini-
tiative, il you wish to sec him
again. II you are living with your
parents, invite him to dinner at
your home, or ask him 10 come
some evening with a group Of other
young people.

Not Unusual.

Telephone girls have other inter
ests besides answering calls. and
one afternoon two OF them, in dif-
ferent exchanges. had a chat over
the wires. Their talk was On the
aIl-important subject-dress. Both
were going to birthday party on
the following Saturday afternoon,
and the discussion on what tney
should wear on that occasion waxed
interesting. Ten minutes passed
and the topic was still fa= from
exhausted. But an insistent mas
culine voice at last compelled one
of them to turn her thoughts to
other things.
Are you there" the voice yell
ed. Are you there? Halo, All. at
last. Who is that speaking? Who

What line do you think yru

"hallo" girl Indignantly.

afternoon. He has had several OF
these lately, and he's not at all

"Probaly the vertigo was caused
by indigestion" Mildred suggested
lightly, and began to talk OF other
things.
Two days later. as Honora en-
tered the house on her return from
the office, the telephone bell rang,
and she hastened to answer it.
Hello, angel girl" were the
words that greeted her astonishde
ears. Have you got over your
mad, and are you glad to. hear my
dulcet tones?"
There must be some mistake"
Honora said coldIy. you have the
wrong number"
Isn't that MiIdred?" came the
query.
'This is the Brent house" Ho-
nora replied. This is Honora
Brent speaking"
"Oh, Miss Brent, how do you
do?" the voice asked. This is Tom
Chandler. Is Mildred there?"
tom Chandler Honora ex-
claimed in surprise. "No, Milly is
out" mo. she isn't!' Mildred cor
rected as she ran down the stairs
and snatched the receiver from her
sisters hand. Hello, Toni" she
called.
Honora walked into the library,
and, picking up the evening paper,
tried to become interested in the
news OF the day. But ehe could not
shut out from her ears the excited
laughter with which Mildred
greeted the remarks of the re-
turned soldier. Honora was at n
loss to understand the situation.
For weeks past she had comforted
herself with the belief that Mil
dred and Tom were no longer on
friendly terms.

TRAVELING in a strange coun-
try like New Mother Goose
Land was not an easy thing,
and Puss Junior had need Of
brave heart to keep him going.
Everything was so different from
Mother Goose Land, although he
always expected to find the old IA
miliar friends and nursery melo-
dies.
Well, after he said gOod-by to the
fisherman at the crossroads, as l
told you in the last story. Puss
kept bTavely on, and by and by he
came TO a little wooden house un-
der a clump Of trees. And then. do
you know. that same little bird
who is always singing these New
Mother Goose Melodies began to
twitter and the words Of his song
were these:
Little Tommy TITLE Mouse
Lives in a funny house,
In the corner of the floor
He has a round hole for a door.
So Puss pushed open the door Of
the little wooden house and pecked
in. At the other end of the room.
for the front door didn't open into
hall, you know, Puss could dimly
see a little mouse sitting up on his
hind legs.
"Helloa, Mr.. Title Mouse" said
Puss Junior, for he didn't mean 10
try 10 catch the mouse and so he
didn't care whether Mr.. Title
Mouse was so frightened that he
jumped INFO his hole in the corner
of the room and told Mrs. Title
Mouse be had seen giant rObber
cat, with boots and spurs and
sword and plume and. well, every

asked sharply.

mentioned it to me. Does it matter
so much?"
She did not think it worth while
to confess to him that a postcard
from her former admirer had
brought her this news.

CHAPTER XIV.
IF Arthur Bruce noticed any

TT Arthur Bruce noticed any
change in his fiancee's manner
= during the next few days, he
made no mention Of IL. Relations
between two persons who see each
other constantly cannot long re-
main at high tension, and as days
passed matters with the engaged
pair seemed to become normal once
more.
Indeed, other and more impoT-
tant things than q girls whims
were uppermoSt in Arthur's mind.
The Bruce Contracting Company
had been hard hit by the war.
Each week added fresh perils to
the business affairs Of father and
son.
Building was at q standstill. For
such work as was on hand there
were not enough skilled laborers
and the prices these few demanded
made the hiring of them almost
prohibitive. Fairlands, always an
industrial center, was now going
IN for the making of munitions,
Mechanics and trained workmeu Of
all kinds who had hitherto looked
with disdain upon "the factory
hands"-now found it profitable TO
desert their legitimate trades ana
enter the mills.
At times it appeared as though
the Bruce Contracting Company
and its founder must go under in
the storm Of changing conditions
sweeping across the land.
Arthur's father looked twenty
years older than before the dsclara-
tion of war. All color had left his
-
deep eyes looked tired. Yet his son
could not prevail upon him TO
sIacken his unavailing efforts. Too
late Arnold Bruce was trying to
adopt modern methods. The busi-
ness that he himself had started
years ago meant more to the
founder than even Arthur could
dream
A Long, Hard Task.
Early and late father and son
worked - cutting here, skimping
there-endeavOring desperately to
keep, the fran craft adoat and
ahead
Months slipped by and Arthur
himself grew lean and haggard, but
as he explained to Mildred when he
was calling on her one evening.
he was learning the business
thoroughly.
"You cannot accuse me Of being
4 loafer nowadays, Honey" he
said half laughingly, ''The country
may have had to declare war be-
fore I woke up and went to work,
but I certainly am hard at IL now.
I suppose it's good for me-"
Il wonder why you don't"-be
Ran Mildred Then she stopped
abruptly, but with such . significant
expression OF countenance that Ar
thur felt uncomfortable.

demanded
