ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

An Absurd Notion
 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 My sweetheart works in an office. and I want him to give it up and
 do a regular mans work but he insists that office Is all right, and
 won't give it up. Don't you think
 that if he really loves me or if there is any man in him he would get
 position outside, of an office? I don't
 mean that hesshould work so very
 bard, but only that an office is for
 girl and not a big, strong husky
 fellow. CAROLINE. Where did you get your absurd mo- ton about office work ? Do you mean to suggest that the bank presi- dents, heads of corporations. lawyers, editors and all the vast category of
 men who do "desk work" are doing
 less than regular mans work? If you write seriously, it is high time that you did a little sane thinking and made some attempt to broaden your mind and your knowledge of what is the worlds work and who are the men who do it Brain is al- ways more important to progress and civilization and always will be. A woman who feels as you do is likely to disgust a man or to kill his am- bition.
 A Morbid Attitude Dear Miss Fairfax: I am twenty, a college student and in love with a young lady whom I have known very we'll for over five years. I know that my love is reel procated
 Recently I had my heart examin- ed, and the physician told me I had a weak heart, but he said he thought a few months rest might benefit me. This young lady has given up all of her friends and she is very devot- ed to me. Do not think I am justi- fled in continuing our courtship. or would you advise use to separate? I
 am greatly troubled and wish to do i the right thing. EMIL 1 There is no reason why this trou- ble should interfere with your hap | piness. The only injustice you can | do the girl is to let a morbid atti- tude toward your trouble come be- l tween you.
