 Between two windows in a delight fully furnished living room the idea was conceived that just such a feature would be the making of this particu- lar end of the room, so a carpenter was called in for an estimate for the built-in shelves and the surrounding wooden paneling The shelves were to be flush with the wall, and may be seen from the picture to be quite charming in their arrangement.

Advice The
 Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. An Authority on All Problems ol Girls and Questions of Love
 and Romance.
BREAKING AN ENGAGEMENT.

 Dear Miss Fairfax
 I am twenty, and about two months ago I broke off a hree-months-old engagement, as I found I did not love the young man enough to marry.
 Since then I have met several young men, who seemed to be inter ested in me, but in some way or other they found out I had been engaged. and stopped calling. This happened three different times. Now, do you think it advisable to put the story before a young man, before getting too friendly, or wait a while, or per hapS not tell at all?
 PERPLEXED.
 It is absurd for men to act as if you had committed crime in dicov- ering that you'd made a mistake, and would not be happy married to a man to whom you were engaged. Tn C whole trend of modern thought is more generous than this. You are not called on to discuss this expert ence- If it comes up you have noth- ing to be ashamed of. Take a digni- fled but firm stand. and don't let any one make you lose faith in yourself for doing what you knew to be right

TELLING HER OF HIS LOVE.


 am twenty-four and in love with the stenographer where I am em- ployed. She is about eighteen Now, Miss Fairfax, the way this young lady talks to me I think she likes me l would confess my love to this girl. but she is engaged. Now, Miss Fair fax, she seems to be very unhappy, and I think it is because she likes me better than the man to whom she is engaged.
 Would it be wise for me to con- fess my love for her under the con- ditionS?
 HEARTBROKEN.
 What you need is courage and frankneSs. Be man enough to take your chances. If it is you the girl loves, she can neither be happy nor give happiness married to another. Go to her honestly and calmly and tell her of your feelings Explain that if you are mistaken in feeling that she cares for you. you will not annoy her with mistaken attentions, but that if she cares for you as you do for her. you feel that it is both foolish and tragic to let anything come between you and the honest happiness, which will be fairer to the other man than any dishonestly can

BOUDOIR ACCESSORIES.

Every woman quite naturally wants to see herself dressed as the lovely think this applies more 10 neghgees and underthings than to outdoor dress. if I may judge from the letters I receive on the subject.
 It's prOba bly the intense feminin- ity Of it--a yvoman'S boudoir is usually pictured as such q luxrious little retreat her boudoir accessories and her negiigees are made so allur- ingiy. Yet some of uS-most of us probably-can't afford either the time the money it requires to enjoy these things.

II the husbands had received the
proper encouragement from their
wives, they would probably today be
an important part Of our organiza

In interviewing married men al

or to learn whether or not the wife is
in full accord with the husbands am
bition, whether she has the same
vision Of his prospects that he has,
whether she has the power to encour-
age. the ability to radiate happiness
in the home under trying circum-
stances, whether content to live with

these attributes, the mans success is
half won already. II l find the ra-
verse Of these true, experience has
proved the man will be q failure, or
at best mediocre success. Women
should know that their husbands
will succeed. 1t is such encourage
