Let me also assure age Twenty
Ave" that / am not the individual
who broached the subject Of mar
riage half an hour after making her
acquaintance, though l can readily
imagine what powers Of fascination
she must possess TO create such a
sudden desire on his part. How can
she Justify her statement, however.
that very few girls marry men
who are looking for a wife. / be-
lieve that in looking for wife the
average man is looking for the ideal
which in his eyes constitutes a wife,
otherwise he would not have far to
travel to crafty his wish. When
the individual in question mention

simultaneously 1t looks to me mere

was much interested in Every
woman's letter. This communion
with people one has never met. but
whose experiences and thoughts are
so freely expressed cannot but be
productive Of good. especially when
they serve "to point moral or
adorn a tale" I thank Everywoman
for her good advice, and can assure
her that II / should ever marry It
will be only with love in my heart
for the woman Of my choice, that
love upon which all real happiness
is based. FRANCISCO.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a girl of eighteen, not a
beauty, yet not homely, and know
what II means to be lonesome. Can
you tell me where to find a girl
friend who likes to dance and does
not have old-fashioned ideas? One
who likes the modern times" and
is looking for a friend like herself.
LONESOME.
My mail is full OF letters from
girls who want congenial chum.
Possibly some of them will be
attracted by your letter and write
me to that effect.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
VIII you be so kind as to give
me an explanation of the following.
A likeable young miss who hap
pen to work with gave me an in
PRODUCTION to her charming young
sister.
After a couple OF meetings l was
surprised by receiving from the
sister a wonderful, beautiful bunch
of roses. The young lady work
with will not give me an explana-
tion Of her sisters act. EDDIE.
II they were garden roses, the
act is easily understood and she
probably gave you the roses be-
cause she thought you would like
them. The loveliest thing about
flowers is that anyone can give
them to anyone and there can be
nothing but beauty in the giving.
II, however, they were purchased
from florist. only the young
miss herself can explain such a
strange prank.

Revelations of a Wife

on TO the next one. let me tell you
something you evidently don't know.
Mr.. Spencer has for years been
known as Robert Gordon. He has
been so high. up in the service of
his country that the biggest men
obeyed him Ike a schoolmaster. He
has the power to throw you into
Jail a mile deep IL he wanted 70 and
keep you there a hundred years. But
he idolizes this daughter OF his as he
did her mother before her-make
no mistake about that. We've work
ed together. l know his story. know
that he has lived in agonized re-
morse for 20 years because of the
wife he lost, TO whom he never
dared return because cf the wrong
he had done her, but whom he
adored hopelessly, devotedly.
And because he didn't wish his
daughter TO know even that you
lived, he has submitted 10 your
blackmail-we'll just call II by its
right name. He is getting old. isn't
hts former vigorous self or he
would never have fallen for your
extortion. And now I'm not going TO
waste a minute more time on you.
Well play the ace right now"

He's bought his grave and had

Two Old ladies.
I know an old lady who wears a
lilac silk dressing gown and a white
woody shawl.
she sits in the corner. and reads
her Bible. and every time il rains
she saws something about how she
will feel when she's buried and the
rain falls upon her grave. She's al
ways talking about death and tomb
stones and funerals and then she
wonders why nobody ever comes TO
see her. and says that she's neglect
ed by her relatives.

bakes cakes for a living. She's "a

layer cake for Mrs. Brown. and an
angel cake for Mrs Robinson, and
an fashioned one-twO- three-four

Mrs. Jones. and she knows just ex-
actly what each customer likes, and
once in a while she slips into the
package three or four carRway seed
cookies or fashioned ginger

she loves her customers.
