There are usually two sides to
a story and it is obvious that
girl would not leave such a per-
feet husband as you describe your
self to be and such a beautiful
apartment without some very good
cause. The fact that you mar
ried your second wife three
months after the first shows that
yours is an easily consolable and
adaptable nature. 1t is evident
that your second wife is entirely
through with you and of course a
divorce could probably be arrang-
ed if both of you desire it. Each
person must decide that problem
for himself.
About a third marriage, l am
not so optimistic. Your first two
experiences have been so dis
astrous that it would seem the
course Of wisdom to wait until you
are absolutely sure not only that
you are really in love but also
that the girl is really in love with
you. / am no advocate Of mar

should certainly not recommend
it as an atmosphere in which to

the boy is better off with his aunt
for the time being and that you
had better go slow about any new
matrimonial venture. At least be
entirely free from the last love be-
fore you\consider a new one. In
the meantime, try to figure out
wherein you failed 10 hold your
last wife's love. The knowledge
may be of val ie to you later.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


Sometime ago 1 met a fellow 1
like very much, but there is one
great fault I find with him. He is
bow-legged, and I could never
stand a bow-legged fellow.
Do you think there is any possi-
bly, chance Of having them broken
and set straight?
There are other little faults / find
with him in his dressing. such as
wearing white socks, and 1 hate
the way he wears his hair. But if
he only had straight legs, L could
easily tell him about the other
faults.
Would you kindly advice me what
to do? WILD ROSE.
If you love him, you will look
into his eyes and forget all about
the bow legs. If you don't, you
won't see anything to him but the
misformed extremities. Your sug-
gestion for improving his appear
ance is absurd. The operation
would be frightfully expensive and
is seldom ever attempted in the
case of an adult. When we truly
love q person, their misfortunes
are source of concern and pity
just as q mother usually loves
an afflicted child more than she
does perfectly formed child
chiefly because of his handicap.
1t is only when we do not care
deeply enough that things Of this
sort become an annoyance and
then, of course, it is much better to
look elsewhere for sweetheart
and husband.

less and howery epistlos are showered
upon woman by the everlasting
adorer of the opposite sex, man. The
reason that there are so many
"Heroines" In the great plays IL the
greater interest which attaches to
them because of the way in which
the women are made so different
from their own real selves, the great
contrast and oddly.
Just one more correction: "The mis-
take of American women and others
is that they under-value themselves" ;"
Nothing could be more untrue, espe-
cially OF the present day woman. She

OF herself for her own good as well
as that OF others.

10 the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Your editorial on "Ruskin, Love,
and Women" is most pitifully foolish,
narrow minded, and simple. When,
how, and where did woman ever be-
come superior TO. or even any ways
equal to man? Woman Is mere
freak She always has been and is
becoming more so every day.
Rusltln is. or rather was, but one
narrow minded individual OF by-gone
days. On the contrary, ! thoroughly
agree with Arthur Schopenhauer and
believe that woman Is to blame for
her own ridiculous standards.

Putting on Long Trousers
An Important Event in a Boys Life,

One of the Washington Times Office boys made the
smiling yesterday that next week he is go
ing to put long pants"
That means that next week he will longer be a boy
but will have become young In ifes race he will
have abreast of Youth
49, How much would you give to back to the day when
you changed to long trousers?
How many mistakes have you made in the years that
have intervened that you would wish to correct?
Z. How much would you accomplish If you could
begin again at Youth?
- The great advantage Of Youth is that the boy who
stands there looking forward His life is in the making
The world before him is like wet clay to be moulded into
whatever shape he pleases.
In middle age and after there too many backward
glances and the clay has crumbed and is dust.
If you could have chance to talk to this young man
who will next week shed his for the longer
manEer garments what would you say?
Would you tell him that the keystone of Youth is
Hope?
It is true Pope wrote in his ESSAY Man. that
Hope springs eternal in the human breast But only in
youth is it strong and sturdy plant Man in his prime is
too busy and in old is too feeble to gain from hope the
Inspiration gives to the young whose life ahead of
him.
Would you tell him the value of time?
It is his possession his wealth, which
steal from him. but which he waste prodgay
he chooses But not of the minutes that he lets slip by
be regained Not all the wealth in the world
purchase hour of time buy back single yesterday
The world is talking great deal about spirits and
ghosts There only real ghost It is the ghost of yes
terday TO the who msused wasted h yesterdays
they will back haunt and trouble him. He will WISH
but his wishes will be vain. Youth but once;
one ever recalled it.
Would you tell him 20 work would you tell him to
play? Or would you give the advice than either
to both work and play doing each wisely whole hearedy
earnestly and well?
The tree of youth bears many fruits Imagination,
pration, faith confidence He who picks wisely will fare
well.
Youth is book on whose white unsoiled pages each
may write what he will remembering that word may be
erased and that what write shall many times reread
The boy who will next week put long trousers has
what he will have again-the whole of his future
What he does with is in his hands Others may seek
to guide and influence him. but which road he takes and
how fast he travels rests alone with him.
