Greetings to a

1t was window full of greeting
cards, the sort that people send now
adays for every occasion, apparently,
except funerals. Cards for birthdays,
cards for weddings, cards to congratu-
late you on all sorts of happenings,
cards with patriotic northumberland
on each a verse, supposedly clever, and
a picture of some sort, alluringly color
full.
Justine paused before the window,
attracted by its gay display. 1t was

she had nothing else to do but wander
among the shops, looking In on lovely
hats and blouses and flowers which she
could not afford to buy. This window.
however, was different. She could buy
cards, that Is II she had any one TO
whom to send them. Today most Of
the cards seemed to be for soldiers, the
verses told how proud some one was
Of them, and how somebody longed to
see certain soldier again. Justine
looked and most earnestly wished that
she knew a soldier to whom she might
send card. She wns doing sn very
little about the war, anyway. She had
10 time to knit, and no money to give.

of these bright cards to some hOmesick

Pride and n Quarrel.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been keeping friends with
a young man for the last two years
and enjoyed his company immense
ly. About four months ago we
were drawn into a quarrel and part
ed. He called me up several times
after that and tried to apologize.
but 1 told him l would not take
any apologies. He told me that if 1
made up my mind at any time I
might call him up and We might
continue our friendship.
During these last four months I
did my utmost to forget him. But
/ found it impossible / miss his
friendship a great deal: l seem to
think OF him BY day end dream of
him by night
Now dear Miss Fairfax. what
would you advise me to do? Is
II proper for me 20 call him I'D and
accept his apologies that he made
four months ago, or shall / stick
to my pride? c. A. c.
Unless the young man commit
ted an offense for which no apollo
gies will atone, which am sure is
not the case, think it is time to
forget your pride" Since he did
all he could to make up" and you
find yourself dependent on his
friendship, don't you think it is
false shame that keeps you from
restoring the former happy rela-
tionship? Don't close your door
to happiness. The world has none
too much Of it.

Shall He Change Sweetheart.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a young man Of twenty-four
and in love with a girl Of twenty.
/ have recently found out that this
girl is in love with another man.
We still remain the best Of friends.
/ feel almost sure her oldest sister
is in love with me, but I care for
her only as q friend. Do you think IT
will be right for me to ask the old
est girl to marry me and trust to
time 20 change my love? l am now
in the United States Army and I
ind l really miss her. Do you think
that is a sign that / am falling in
love with her? S. 0. L.
You seem to be a most uncom-
monty adaptable lover. But light
ming changes in the matter OF love
are surely dangerous, lest one re-
pent afterward, so l earnestly
advise you not to propose to your
ex-sweetheart's sister until you are
entirely sure that you are in love
with her.

C. s.
Since you have delayed becom-
ing engaged to the young lady,
what right have you to ask so
much of her? She shows great
faithfulness to her friendship for
you in inviting you so regularly to
her home, and don't see how you
can reasonably wish to deprive
her of other companionship in
your absence. Your desire to
monopolize a girl you have not
even proposed to is out of tune
with the times.
