ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
The Way to Ruin.
BY Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am considered attractive.
am madly in love with a man
ten years my senior. He is mar
ried and is the father of two
children. He tells me that he
loves me dearly and that he
will not give me up. AS he can
not offer me marriage and can
not get a. divorce he wants to
help me, ! have an old mother,
80 am forced against a wall.
MARGARET L.
YOU are not forced against a
WALL You are given a
chance to prove that you have
strength and self-control and that
you are not the victim Of your
emotions. The mans love for you
is a selfish passion which would
destroy you. You Will ruin your
ideals, destroy the foundations of
his home. cheat his children of
their respect for their father and
make your old mother bitterly
ashamed Of you unless you con-
quer this mad infatuatlon which
is not worthy of the name love"
Give the man up. Work for hon.
est success and be assured that
true happiness will come to you
in way to bring peace and
honor to you and the mother YOU
cannot serve by degrading your
self.

forward and spoke impuIsiveiy:
Anne, do you ever guess how

ness? I surely had a rotten time
waking Tony up to the fact that
there was nothing in the world
