Advice To The
 LOVelOrn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Going Half Way

Going Half Way
 Dear nfiss Fairfax:
 My sweetheart is very stubborn. I am broad minded, otherwise there would often be a clash. My mother does not approve of him. He tells me how much he loves me. but if I wanted to give him up for someone else he would say nothing. He be- ieves the girl should always go half way. Is he wrong in his opinion? I am twenty-three and he is twenty one. F. L. P.
 Why shouldn't the girl go half way? The sweeter and more con- siderate you are. the more ashamed your sweetheart will be of his stub bornness. If he Is selfish and and exacting, you must either accept that as part of him and deal with it gen. erously-or there isn't a chance for you to be happy together. But un- less you have a fine. well-bala need nature and are willing to follow rather than to insist on leading, I'm afraid there are rough seas ahead.
 The Suspicious Girl
 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 I am eighteen and in love with a young man two years my senior. 1 have always been friend of the family and @ good pal to his sister, but, in spite of that, she has influ- enced him not to give q gift. What shall I do, break with her?
 ANXIOUS.
 What is a gift? Perhaps the young man needs to save his money and start building toward your fu- ture. Don't be SC critical of his sis ter Believe in her friendship and accept what you call her ''interfer- ence'' as an expression of interest, which it probably is and you'll have much more chance of peace and hap piness

CHAPTER " The Job

The room was fuls of tobacco smoke, through which Peter dinly made out a table with an oil lamp. beside which were chairs. a sofa. and beyond a steel safe between the win dows. As Peter Nichols entered. a man advanced from a window at the side. the shutter of which was slight ly ajar. It was evident that not con tent to leave his safety in the hands of those he had employed to preserve it, he had been watching, too.
 He was in his shirt sleeves, a man of medium height, compactly built, and we'll past the half-century mark. The distinguishing features of his face were a short nose, a heavy thatch of rbrows, a square jaw which showed the need of the offices of a razor and his lips wore short. square mus tache somewhat stained by nicotine.
 Tn point of eagerness the manner of his greeting of the newcomer left nothing to be desired Peters first impression was that Jonathan K. Mo Guire was quite able to look out for himself. which confirmed the impress sion that the inspection to which Peter had been subjected was nothing but a joke. But when his employer began speaking rather jerkily. Peter noticed that his hands were unsteady and that neither the muscles of his face nor of his body were under com plete control. Normally. he would have seemed much as Sheldon. Senior. had described him-a hard-fisted man, a close bargainer who had won his way to his great wealth by the sheer force of a strong personality. There was little of softness in his face, little that was imaginative.
 This was not a man to be frighten- ed at the Unseen or to see terrors that did not exist. Otherwise, to Peter he seemed commonplace to the last de- gree. of Irish extraction probably, the Kind Of person one meets daily on Broadway or on the Strand In a fur coat he might have been taken for a banker; in tweeds. for a small trades man; or in his shirt as Peter now saw him. the wristbands and collar some whatS soiled from precipitation. for a labor1sg man taking his rest after an

published in The Literary Digest, October 2lst:
DRIVEN FROM THEIR HOMES by fire and
l. sword-beaten, trampled, robbed-more than
half million men, women and little children
are being swept along to starvation, madness, and
self-destruction in the Near East.
Herded in the streets, like cattle for the slaughter;
hudded on the brink of the sea, and casting them
selves, crazed by hunger and fear into the dark
waters; dragged from the burning hell of Smyrna,
only to be thrust by their rescuers into the slower
hell of Mitylene, and Salonik and other havens of
"refuge" which now are crowded centers of starva-
ton and breeding grounds of pestilence-these who
are suffering such martyrdom have only one hope of
salvation from their nightmare of crucifixion. That
hope is YOU-Americans
Thousands perished when Smyrna was bathed in
torrents of blood Now the city is vast sepulchre of
ashes. You do nothing for the dead. But the lives
of half million others yours today for the pur-
chase They are stretching their hands to you now
out Of the horrible pit. Lift them up to life!

indication OF the estimate placed on
