ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
By Beatrice Fairfax.
Attentive Six Years.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
WIN you kindly tell me what you
think OF the character OF q mEn who
has treated me as follows:
have been about with him Tor six
years.; during our cOurtship he showed
llls svery ueVOuon, love ana anection.

me IN other mems company. He never
took me to dinners, but TO theaters on
sundays, and an occasional movie.
knowing that he was saving his money,
and As ! trusted him, was happy 70
help him.
Eether 70 buy out a concern OF which
ne became the head; now things are
changed. he rarely dresses up when
calling on me-alwayB in his working
clothes when taking me any place, and
when / call at his place. he says what
do you want--nO hello, or pleased 70
sen me. and he acts very uneasy TIL !
leave again.
/ am supporting my mother as a
clerk in An Office, and since the war V
over my hrm closed down. Ny tTiend
has girl that the other firm had, and
while am more experienced In busi-
neaa be will not employ me. used
70 spend all my evenings IN, olctating
his letters; he always promised me II
he ever was his own boss l would 9e
his private secretary. Now am really
In need Of money, as my mother IS OLD
and feeble. What do you think OF
such a personality? r. 5.
This is a very pitiful story, and
do not think anything will be
gained by declining to face facts.
1t would seem from your account
of the affair that this man does
not intend to keep his promise-or
the implied promise that six years
or friendship involves.
He has doubtless become interest
ed in some one else, perhaps the
young woman employed in his OF
fice. You are certainly entitled 10
a clearing up OF this state Of af.
fairs and would be quite within
your rights in asking him 10 explain
things.
1t viii be cold comfort for me TO
say that he is really unworthy OF
your love or consideration. You
have given him six years out of
your life and no words, however
consoling. can cancel that. You have
been badly treated, and must call
to your assistance all the charac-
ter and stoicism you possess to
get through the ordeal. On the
other hand, I think you will feel
glad, eventually, that you escaped
marrying so cold-blooded and sell
fish a man.

BY this time there was q great

Well, this made Puss Junior very
curious. Here was q place full OF

"QueerYille," answered the
farmer, "and it's the qbeerese
