wrong. We were all lying to pro-

marriage that was beginning per-

as on Val. Then what justice was
there in refusing to agree to n
marriage which would be ideal be-

Neal hadn't right to his name?
There was no intentional evil in
the whole sad business. No just
cause for criticism or scandal or
disgrace. And Phoebe was at a
dangerous state of wisdom and re-

Neal did.

Advice to
LovelOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax.
POPULARITY We. HEALTH.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am eighteen years old, a good
dance~. and considered somewhat
good looking by most of my asso-
ciates. l enjoy movies and dances
and must confess that I have an
engagement most every night. with
either boy or girl friends.
Recently i met a young man who
seems to have taken a liking to me.
He attends college in this city and
is a fair musician. ] like him very
much except for one thing. He calls
on me two nights week. but ex-
poets me to stay at home the other
nights, mostly likely afraid that |
will like someone else better.
Now. Miss Fairfax. it isn't that
at all. I like this young man and
prefer his company to all others,
but don't intend to stop having
good times the other five nights on
his account.
/ kindly ask you to advise me
what to do. PATSY"
You are quite right in not allow
ing the young man to monopolize
you or dictate to you. However, 1
believe you are doing yourself a
lasting injury IL you continue to go
out seven nights a week. That is
more than any human being can
stand. A young girl of eighteen
needs at least three good nights
rest each week, and as many more
as she can get.

To
COat-tails

According to the fashion journals
for men, that ancient and honor
able institution, the coat-tai1. is
about to be gathered to it's fathers.
Together with the plug hat, it is
said, coat-tails will. after this Win
ter season. no longer grace the
Apollo Belvideres who strut ma
jestically hither and yon in the cor
ridors OF high society.
1t is held that coat-tails repre-
sent a clear waste of material,
which is very scarce and very val
liable. Every time a man orders
coat with a long tail on 1t he
raises the price of clothing for the
next bird.
However, there are those who
will take issue with this argument,
There is many a shiny book agent
in a longtailed Prince Albert who
is able to wear one pair of trousers
as long as the coat lasts. Many a
man has had occasion to thank the
long-tailed coat for saving him a
good bit of embarrassment.
WITHOUT A PEER.
AS an aid to the male figure, the
long-tailed coat is without q peer.
Together with the plug hat. 1t has
assisted in making many states
men, and il Is rumored IL has even
made one or two Presidents in our
history. There il a sort OF dignity
about the casual appendage Of a
dress coat or, cutaway or a
Prince Albert that lends dignity, an
air Of refinement and an unmistak-
able atmosphere Of intellectually.
A combination of long tailed coat,
pl,Ig hat and bope- ri nn,cd uIauuea
is invincjbIe, and no man who has
made a practice of wearing all
three at the same time has failed
to attract much public attention
and get somewhere in the world.
LONG MAY TT WAVE.
Do you see any statues of great
men in sack coats or Tuxedos?
Think II over. Even Uncle Hor-
ace Greeley, a proletarian In the
matter of dress, put on Prince
Albert coat when he had his statue
made. Can you see Abraham Lin
coin, James @. Blaine or Ruther-
ford b. Hayes in a bobtailed gar
ment? r.,
As for the actors. why cut their
salaries in half by compelling them
to abandon one OF the principal at
tributes of their art In the mush
drama7
The coat-tail has meant much in
our history, means much in our
present progress in the realms OF
art. society and statesmanship, and
may II wave.
And coat-tsils cover a multitude
of TASKS.

Studies Your
Breathing

SHOW me how you breathe and
/ will tell you what you are," is
a new theory advanced by DR..
Maingot, of the French Academy
Of Medicine, who says he can tell
a persons character by X-raying
his or her respiratory organs. DR..
Maingot states that handwriting
often reveals a persons character,
but points out that handwriting is
taught and Is therefore the fruit
OF ones education, while breathing
is one of the natural gifts of life.
In breathing. according to the
French doctor, inspiration spells
activity end expiration that of
rest. He has submitted various
patients to his X-raVs and on the
spot has been able TO tell them
their character and their faults.
To a young man of twenty-five
he said: You are timid and often
undecided. You have great DIFF
fculty in getting out OF bed" To
an older person he stid: you are
sentimental and easily moved and
yet you are capable of heroic
actions" In both dases the pa
tients realized the truth of these
statements.

courts, ana asserts a. would be
useful in revealing he character
of criminals and witnesses.

When they came to the second

ST. PAUL. Mimi. March 15.--Al.
though tho proposed salary readjuat-
ments In railroad and packing indus
tries will cost wage-earners Of the
northwest several thousand dollars
monthly, it will do more to return
business to a normal basis than any
thing yet attempted. in the belief Of
business interests of st. Paul and
Minneapolis. If the decrease In rail
wages Is allowed it Is certain that
both freight and passenger rates on
the roads will be reduced. Once the
freight rates are slashed the con-
sumer will begin to feel the effects
Of the drive against high costs.
Rail President's Views.
While almost everybody believes a
cut in railroad rates would follow a
reduction in salaries Of all rail work
ers, it remained for Charles Donne,ly,
president of the Northern Pacific, to
make the first formal announcement
of probable cut.
Mr.. Donnelly's statement, made here
today upon his return from a months
trip to New York. said:
THE Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany favors some readjustment in
railroad rates, as may be necessary
to admit of free movement of traffic,
and, we think the readjustment should
be made whenever operating ex-
penses. of which wages form the
greater part, should have been so re-
duced as to justify making them"
Mr.; Donnelly added in his statement
that there has been no essential change
