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


A girl from a distant city
met a man some years older than
she, and after corresponding for a
short time became engaged. Some
time later she found he had been
engaged to another girl even
while he had been corresponding
with her, and for reasons other
than his own they had broken up.
He said they were to be mar
ried because he had promised, and
one should keep his word. The
second girl accepted this excuse
because she cared for the man
and wanted to believe him. He is
considered a good fellow by every
one and has conducted himself
accordingly toward the second girl
for about a year.
What she wishes to know is,
should he keep the first girls
photographs, of which he has
very great many, when he must
know they make the second girl
unhappy?
The natural inference is that
he would not care to keep the
photographs Of a girl who had
been untrue to him.
Am i wrong? l am the second
girl.
The second problem is this:
The man admires beautiful girls.
He insists that the girl look at and
admire all the beautiful girls
pictures In the papers. At first
the girl did not object, but day
after day 1t got on her nerves so
that at times she doubted her love
would last n 1t continued, and
doubted his ability to be true to
her during the years to come IL
he should meet lovelier girls than
she.

in a small amount of hot fat and
serve with horseradish sauce.

the meat stock or water and re-
turn the mixture to the fire. Bring
It to the boiling point and boil il
for 3 or minutes, stirring con-
stantly. Add the seasoning and
the horseradish and serve.
Tomato sauce or a white sauce

DO YOU
KNOW THAT.

Cards for playing games OF
chance are of the most remote
antiquity and of almost universal
usage, but the decks are not
everywhere the same. Anglo
Saxon peoples use packs of fifty
two cards in four suits Of thirteen
each. In Italy, thirty-six cards
form a pack. while the Chinese
deck consists of thirty cards in
three suits Of nine each and three
superior cards. The old German
pack had only thirty-two cards.
Various artistic embellishments of
the faces of the cards have ap-
peared from time to time. Among
the devices used were horsemen,
elephants, bells, and flowers. At
one time the four kings were
eliminated from the pack in
America and replaced by portraits
of Washington, John Adams,
Franklin, and Lafayette, while
the queens were represented by
Venus, Fortuna, Ceres, and Mi
nerva, and the knaves by Indian
chiefs.
