DEAR VIRGINIA LEE:

I AM in love with q girl a few
years my Junior, and she re-
ciprocates my love. Her only OBJ
lection to me is that I am Q
widower with two children (my
children do not need much care,
as they are eight and five years
of age).
We meet twice q week, and she
tells me that she loves me dearly,
but at every parting she tells me
the same thing; that 1t is an impos-
sibility for us to get married, be-
cause she does not like being a
stepmother. To have children
around her all the time, she says,
Will embarrass her before her
friends and people that know her.
How can l convince her that II
Is nothing to be ashamed Of?
By carefully trying TO explain
away all her preJudices. Persuade
her to get acquainted with the
children, 20 that she win under.
stand them, and they win learn to
love her before she attempts the
role Of "stepmothef."
She should look upon that role
not In the old.fashioned lisilt, but
as . chance to bring heppinese
into two little lives.
The children are young enough
to become greatly attached to her
II she undertakes their care nov.

as love in the world any more;
that they are unfortunately su-
perior to the great majority Of
humanity and cannot stoop to the
methods Of other girls to obtain
the affections Of the opposite
sex-therefore the men pass them
by.
These precious nigh ideals"
they will not relinquish, but in
se1-r1ghteous abnegation 20
through life starved for the one
emotion they need more than all
others.
And the young men who write
to me that there is really moth

girls are so merpenary, have such
a wrong outlook on life. So they
will just remain old bachelors, be.
cause they are not appreciated.
want to say to them; You
shape your own destiny.
Girls who slip through their
twenties without having found
love, may have cause to blame n
on business activities, concentra-
ton on their work, Indifference
to men. lack Of appeal to men,
but never on high ideals.
As soon as they come down to
earth and replace those false
ideals with better understanding
of the masculine SHORTCOMINGS
they criticise so. they will dis.
cover they are immeasurably de.
sirable to those very men they
have accused of favoring only
girls with low ideals.

The phrase "the strenuous life"
was uttered in a speech delivered
before the Hamilton Club, Of
Chicago, April 10. 1899. by Roose-
welt: I'm speaking to you men Of
the greatest city Of the West, men
of the State which gave to the
country Lincoln and Grant. men
who preeminently and distinctly
embody all that is most American
in the American character, I wish
to preach, not the doctrine or
ignoble ease, but the doctrine Of
the strenuous life-etc."
The age Of the earth il almost as
secretive as that of woman who
has passed thirty. Several years
ago a celebrated astronomer said
that the age Of the earth Ii placed
by some at five hundred millions
of years; by others, one hundred
million years; and still others at
ten million years. None seem to
estimate the age of the earth lower
than ten million years.
The distinction Of the first royal
visitor to the United States belongs
to William ", son Of George III,
who came to the United States in
1882 as midshipnan in a British
line-of-battle ship. one Of Admiral
Disby's fleet sent over to conquer
us as a rebellious colony. An ef-
fort was made by colonial tfoops
to capture the prince while his
vessel was lying off New York.
but the scheme failed and the
prince lived to become King of
Great Britain, and Uncle Of Queen
Victoria.

boot has a follower top and IL
considered quite swank. The
tuxedo which seems firmly en-
trenched where the swallowtail
once reigned, is now faced about
the lapels with black plush in
stead of silk. Beaunash, however,
says that full evening dress is
not to be scorned. Says he:
The main thing is that even
ing dress. be it formal or in
formal, should be worn"
Style seems to intrigue us to-
day. The women have adopted
the coiffure of their French sis
ters. The ear has come out into
the open after its long retire
ment. The hair is oiled and
brushed back slick from the face
and the face is powdered a
ghastly white without the slight
est touch of rouge. And ear
rings drop to the shoulder.
