ADVICE TO LOVELORN
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

for the firm where I am en-
ployed as bookkeeper. have
known him now for two years,
during which time he has al
ways been very nice to me, in a
friendly way, however, which I
attribute to the fact that / am
sister of my employer. and he
could not act otherwise. About
three months ago he left for an
extended business trip in the
South, and a few days before
leaving he gave me a box of
candy. and I, DESTROYS of show
my appreciation, sent him lit
tie card wishing him safe and
pleasant trip. Soon after that
received a card from him ac-
knowledging my card, but did
not give any address. Since !

ing with him, he having left
his address with my brother.
E. o.
DON'T force your friendship on
this man. For you to show
your feelings too strongly would
put him in a difficult position,
since your brother is his employ
err. You don't want the man to
feel that he has to be attentive
to you in order to ho-d his job.
nor yet that he must resign in
order to avoid you. AS matters
stand, he has shown his friendly
interest and even more by send
ing you the farewell offering. If
he cares for you at all, this trip
and the absence involved will
make him realize it.

SHINING SHAFTS OF WISDOM

An evil lesson is soon learnt.
Reckless youth makes rueful
age.
What you are worth is what
you are.
See to it that the best company
of all is your own.
Shallow men believe in luck,
strong men in cause and effect.
When men cease to improve
themselves and their conditions,
society is in danger.

, No man has a thorough taste
of prosperity to whom adversely

True eloquence consists in say
ing all that is necessary and
nothing but what is necessary.
If you have only ambition and
no energy, you will get about as

and save some money. But the
business requires my attention
seven days in the week and be-
tween sixteen and eighteen hours

hard to run 1t.
About a Nmonth ago I met a
young lady who pleased me very
much and it seemed that at
tracted her.
/ have seen her about a dozen
times since then, have met her
parents and have been pleased
with her very much in general.
But I cannot honestly say that
love her.

to the girl l would be accepted.
Should l propose to her and,
marry her and keep my very
promising business, or shall I
sell the business (for I cannot
keep it if l don't marry.

WHY not hire an assistant?
1t appears that what you
want Is someone to help you run
an exacting business. But you
don't have to marry to secure
the aid you require. A wife
would cost you more than
clerk. 1 am not laughing at you
but I am trying to make you
see that your problem is not
whether to sell your business
nor marry a girl for whom you
have no real feeling of love. The
thing that is at stake is how to
run your business efficiently and
have a little leisure to study
yourself and to be with you

Michael felt buzzing in his ears;
desire electrified him, drawing his
muscles taut, just as in his hap
piest days. And with the bearing
of a conqueror he pushed open the
door. which was unlocked.
A woman came forward to meet
him in the yestibule, a woman

back.

Another woman appeared, OPEN

Alicia, with her clothes in disorder
and her hair wildly streaming. On
seeing the Prince, she raised her
arms and came forward, impetuous
and silent, as though to embrace
him. At last What did
he care if Valeria were present?
He did not see her. But Alicia
seemed different-taller than ever,
and paler, with eyes that suddenly
Inspired fear.
Her arms fell about him, and
Immediately her whole body seemed
to totter, bereft of strength. He
felt a painting breast against his
own; her arms were as cold as
those of corpse; rain of hot
tears began to battle his neck.

1t was all she could say. She
was choking, the sobs catching
in her throat as though a .-srang-

The Prince was obliged to sum-
mon all his strength to sustain
the inert body. A voice sounded
near his ear. with the same low
monotonous tone that is heard in
a chamber of death.
It was that of Valeria, who
was also weeping, feeling afresh
the contagion of tears.
