AdUice To
the LOUeLOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Last summer q young man
asked to be introduced to me.
After the introduction he court
ed me most ardently and shower
ed me with gifts. He then left
town for q number OF months
and each day received love
letters and kilograms from him.
We were secretly engaged and
the day before I was to get my
ring he told me he could not
marry me, a. he didn't love me.
Can you make this out? / can't.
1t 10 beyond me. PUZZLED.
THE matter may be as simple as
= 1t appears. The man found on
knowing, you we'll that what he
had taken for love was infatuation.
He may have burned his feeling
out In a wild outpouring of emo
lions which couldn't settle down
to steady devotion. He may have
some difficulty In his way and
feels that he isn't ready for mar
rage. But since he has told you
with brutal frankness that he does
not love you, you are fortunate
not to be tied to one who could
not make you happy.

no YOU desire to have your
growing girl marry a good
man? Then teach her first
of all common sense.
1t is no hardship or imposition
for your girl to acquire a knowl-
edge of domesticity. 1t is rather
a virtue and 1t may be made a
powerful factor in her future
well-being. Analyze the strong,
self-reliant character in either
man or woman today and you will
find a person who Is first Of all
master of certain Of the plain
duties of everyday existence.
The unusual thing, the special
ty or the peculiar achievement or
the individual-that Is not the
first essential greatness in your
girl. The first requisite Is for her
to be thoroughly human. That is,
she needs, for the sake OF her
happiness and well-being. to know
how to do what the great masses
of womenkind are doing, and these
millions are cooking, sewing and
caring for children. =.
II you avoid teaching your girl
an early mastery Of the plain
things of the life Of ordinary
women you may be assured OF two
adverse results-first, that solid
and sensible young men will pass
her by when looking for a wife,
and second, that she will later
need to keep UP some kind of so
cial excitement, some kind Of ex-
travagant or other false stimulant.
in order to forget her painful sense
of basic imperfection and I'M
worthiness.
In view of the foregoing, II II
cheering to pick up a high school
catalogue and read:
Every girl completing school
should be able to plan, purchase.
prepare and serve a simple meal
for family of average size having
a moderate income. She should
be able to choose food materials
intelligently with regard to food
value and money expended. She
should be able to wash dishes neat
ly, keep a kitchen in order and
dust a room properly. She should
know how to use a commercial
pattern in garment making,
manipulate a sewing machine neat
ly. The skill with the needle
should amount to an ability to
make her own plain garments"

When and how did family.

there must have been a time

TT appears to have been about
the end OF the tenth century
when the custom of bearing
permanent family names beGen to

the custom Is historically OBJ

stand, for It's convenience must
have become apparent AZ popula-
ton increased together with, in
creased completely in the relations
Of civilized life, and the rise into
social and political importance Of
the multitudes that, in earlier
times, had been mere serfs whom
the ruling classes had no need to
distinguish by family names.
Then. too, there was the exam
pie Of the Romans. the world con-
querors, who from early times had
had family names, contrary to the
custom of the Greeks, the Egyp-
tians, and the Mesopotamian ne,
tons, among whom there were no
family names. The Normans after
conquering England gradually IT..
troduced surnames among the pop
ulation, a. the Romans had scorned
to do, but even these Norman
surnames were confined to the
families Of the upper classes.
The origin Of the names them
selves is obvious. They came
from occupation or social condi-
ton, from personal pecularities
from place of residence, and from
particular or accidental circum-
stances.
We see at a glance the origin
