"All right. Colanara goes from

Buying! Buying stock that other
men are trying to prove worthless?

'sFor a woman who has just finished
declaring she can't understand the

head impatiently. Then he went on
Don't be frightened. I'm not buy

As Tom Chandler started down the
path leading from the Brents' house
he came face to face with Arthur
Bruce.
Arthur's day had been full of anx-
ieties Not only had his father SEEM
ed more i'll than usual, but business
affairs were in a discouraging tangle.
So absorbed was the lover in his mus

before he saw him.
That Tom Chandler should be
emerging from Mildred's home took
Arthur so much by surprise that he
blurted out his astonishment
"Why-what are you doing here?'
he exclaimed.
Chandler's recent conversation had
weeks he had enjoyed amusing him
self with Mildred, and her attitude
toward him now awakened his resent

Goodnight" Arthur returned me-
chanically.
He stood still for a full minute af-
ter Chandler had left him. then went
up the steps, his mind in a whirl.
"Hallo" Mildreds light voice greet
ed him as he entered the library.
"Why-whats the matter?"
Arthur in Trouble
He kissed her before replying, but
he did it with the manner of a man
who has weightier matters than love-
making on his mind
What's the matter?" the girl re-
peated.

effort to speak frankly-"you have a
rightto do as you please-but we de-

ment was not to be announced for a
while?"
''Of course we did" she agreed.
You told your people - and 1 told
mine-that's all'
A look of relief came to his face.
Perhaps Tom Chandler had congratu-
lated him only with the hope of as
certaining whether or not he was en-
gagged to Mildred. But it was an un-

that was the fellows object, he was

Advice to the Lovelorn
"ToO MUCH IN LOVE"

DEAR MISS FA1RF'AN.
Some time ago 1 met a young man
a few years older than myself. When
we first met he came to see me about
thee times a week. Then he told me
he had accepted a position out of
town and would only come into the
city every two weeks.
Now, Miss Fairfax, I have been
going with this young man for six
months. The trouble is that l am
tell me he was going to remain a
bachelor. Then 1 would tease him
in n friendly way. He is very proud
my being friends with his sisters. who
are married, but. of course, 1 will not
meet them until 1 am engaged, and
do not know If l ever will be.
I have many other boy friends. but
cannot get myself to become inter
ested in them or to go out with them.
Please don't think this is a trifling
matter. as I am so changed and sad
over it. Can't you give me an idea of
what I can say to him so as to bring
him to terms2
I am afraid there is inevitably a
good deal of suffering when one
friend falls in love. first and has to
worst of it is that there isn't any
way of accelerating the falling-in-
love process. And am sure you
will be happier in the end if you
allow the young mans feeling for
you to develop naturally and spon-
taneously, instead of trying to force
it. 1t does take a good deal OF
patience and self-control. but I am
sure you have these qualities.
Is THIS A SIGN OF LOVE.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
II, when you meet a certain person
of the opposite sex, you feel a strong
attraction. would you call that love?
II. A.
It's an evidence of a certain kind OF
attraction. But I wouldn't call 1t love
until after closer acquaintance.
