evenings in debating his letters; he

his own boss I would be his private

This is a very pitiful story, and
I do not think anything will be
gained by declining to face facts.
He 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 of
friendship involves.
He has doubtless become inter

young woman employed in his of

clearing up of this state of affairs
and would be quite within your
rights in asking him to explain
things.
il will 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 char

Advice to the Lovelorn
Attentive Six Years.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Will you kindly tell me what YOU
think of the character of a man
who has treated me as follows:
l have been about with him for
six years; during our courtship he
showed me every devotion, love and
affection. He objected to my hav-
ing women friends, as he feared
they would take me in other mems
company. He never took me to
dinners. but to theaters on Sun
days, and an occasional movie.
Knowing that he was saving his
money, and 1 trusted him, l was
happy to help him.
He was fortunate to get enough
together to buy out a concern of
which he became the head; now
things are changed. He rarely
dresses up when calling on me-
always in his working clothes when
taking me any place, and when I
call at his place. he says what do
you want-no hello, or pleased to
see me, and he acts very uneasy till
leave again.
I am supporting my mother as a
clerk in an office, and since the war
is over my firm closed down. My
friend has a girl that the other Arm
had, and while am more expert

this home and add to it u pint of hot
water and a little granulated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table,
spoonful four times a day. An inn
provement is sometimes noted after
the first days treatment. Breathing
should become easy, while the. dis
tressing head noises, headaches,~ dull

EXCHANGE NO ROBBERY

Two business friends who lived ir
the country met one day, and one in
vited the other to dine with him that
evening.
At the appointed time the guest
set forth in the direction of his
friends house, and as the roads in
his village were somewhat dimly
lighted, he took with him an old
fashioned stableman's lantern.
The dinner was good, the wine
excellent and all went marrily.
The next morning, however, he re-
ceived the following note from his
host of the night before:
Dear Old Mani am sending my
man over to you with this note, and
he brings with him your lantern. II
you have quite finished with my par
rot and cage I shall be awfully glad

complained of his taking Jim away
on my birthday.
Suddenly 1 realized that in my
unreasoning pride I'd probably hurt
Phoebe and Neal. So l hurried to
the phone and called by brother.
And fate which had relented en-
tirely in my behalf let me find Neal
at home. After 1 had thanked him
for his wonderful gift, 1 blul ted out
the truth about Jim's absence from
the city.
"Babbsie, ,darling-you precious old
goose!" came back from Neal. Don't
stop to telephone Phoebe about our
little gift. I'm going right around
to call for her and We'll come to
fetch you in half an hour. Not O
word! Think we'd let you spend
your birthday alone? Hustle into
your clothes now and be ready when
we come, Babbsie. So long"
L turned from the telephone con-
fldent that 1 had learned another
lesson to-day and wouldn't soon
again judge by appearances or let
circumstantiaf evidence sway me.
MY theory was soon put to the
test-for when Neal and Phoebe es-
corted me to the quiet and exclu-
sive roof garden which we selected
1or our celebration, the very first
person 1 spied was Tom Mason
tucked off in a dimly lighted cor
ner and seemingly obvious to n1I
that went on around him.
Hunched down in the chair oppo-
site to him was a girl 1 couidn't
make out in the half light. Tom
was all devotion. but 1 conquered
my inclination to condemn him for
phllanderins again and gave all
and hostess.
Just as we were finishing the iced
melon with which we began the eX-
travagant repast Neal insisted on
ordering, waltz struck up.
"Neal-a waltz" cried Phoebe.
Yel know how your Babbsie loves
to waltz, and il you want to make
me happy you won't waste a single
strain, but hurry out with sister and
give an exhibition dance"
And leave you alone7" I cried.
Not muchr
But Neal arose and selling me
masterfully by the elbow, fairly pull
cd me from my chair.
"Oh, how I love to have the dear
girls fighting over the honor of my
hand in a waltz" he laughed; but
come along, Birthday Girl-there's
no escaping"
You sweet, generous darling!"
flung at Phoebe as we departed.
Joyous Neal and 1 swung out to
the soft strains of the popular
Hawaiian waltz. For several mo-
ments I was conscious of nothing
but the rhythm of the sobbing yet
laughing music and of our gliding
along as part of 1t. Then a face
startled me uneasy - stood out.
