ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

when his fault of distrust is in
the ascendant why not smile
it all away and make him feel
the absurdity of his jealousy and
lack of confidence? You give too
much weight to his suspicious.
Every time you quarrel over his
distrust you augment it, because
you make him feel that if you had
nothing to conceal, you wouldn't
get so angry over his accusations
There is French saying which
translates itself: who excuses
himself accuses himself" But
when you are so sure of your 10y
atty that you see the absurdity Of
false charges against it you have
good chance of introducing the
saving grace OF humor into your
lovers attitude. And so YOU can
cure. him of his sad and almost
insane fault.

Folks Who Don't Grow Up.
BY Aline Michaelis-

Folks Who Don't GroaU Up.
ENVY not the rich or great;
or those who run the church
u or state. I'd not exchange
my place with folks who while
their time away and loll and loaf
day after day, in any cline or
race, I cannot find it in my
heart to want to live a life apart
as geniuses must do; nor can 1
say that I desire to set our whirl-
ing world afire and start the
works anew. In fact, when I re-
view the theme, / see that in my
widest dream no envy's lurking
there: I'm glad to see chaps all

All, they're the chosen ones in
life. who, some way, through the
stress and strife. the race for
gold and fame, can always find
some gladness still to give each
day its Zest and thrill and make
it all game. The folks who
don't grow up are those who
change life's passages of prose
TO lines that laugh and sing: they
find the first shy daisy blooms
and violets whose breath perfumes
the garment of the spring. They
glimpse the azure in the sky,
though banks of clouds are drift
ing by: no dregs are in their
cup for they are spirits sweet
and rare; life's but a game, the
rules are fair to folks who don't
grow up.

window and disappeared. 1t was
as though the seeker -
ance had encountered a harder
spirit than his own; the girl her
self, and not her lover, had put
him to flight. Miguel scarcely cut
an heroic figure. .
1t was with the most intense
relief that Drummo ID saw him go.
The fear of what Agnes might do
was far greater in him than any
concern for himself. But she had
ceased to struggle, and he sud
denly felt her go limp and collapse
in his arms. Instantly he placed
her in the armchair and dashed
out through the window.
Now" he said grimly, Iet me

He glanced swiftly to left. and

abutted on the park, he saw a
small figure just visible in the
moonlight, running swiftly-run-

EUROPEANLZED AMERICAN is PERFECT MANI
FROM VIEWPOINT OF AN AMERICAN GIRL

"a creature far more rare than
his female counterpart, the perfect
woman. possibly because women
are more careful about applying
such an absolute term as perfect"
The shortcomings of each Of the
men enumerated above are easily
stated. Frenchmen are too sophis-
ticated and intolerant, Italians are
too sweetly sentimental; English
men, too casual and undemonstra-
tive; SWedes, too boisterousI Swiss,
impractical
The 100 per cent American, on
the other hand, the American I'M
alleged, is too little any of these
things. The American male atti-
tude of idealizing the woman he
loves and placing her on a pedestal
is very flattering.
But the American male goes
farther, and once having placed
the woman he adores upon
pedestal, he promptly forgets that
the figure thus exalted is made
of flesh and blood, that the
Wilderness of he skin is not the
glow of inanlmate marble, but
infinitely moro beautiful and pre-
cious in its sensitive reality.
Therefore the American man,
