perately in love with her, as she did with him, but she tried in every way to discourage this man. She has told him all about the error of her youth and why she thinks it best not to marry, but the man refuses to give her up and says that her attitude is evidence enough that she will remain on the straight and narrow path.
 What do you think of this love af- fair? Should the girl step out of his life, as she thinks she should, and give him an opportunity to find some one more worthy of him than she? Or should she do as he asked her; forget the past and live for the future?

CldC ne SuOulu Uuy HIS mOJneE some chocolates instead of bringing so many to me.
 How can I get about three nights off week for myself? E. NJ.
 Answer: a
 Couldn't you go on a strike and
 and Fridays off? Or, what's the
 ache that has always been womans
 standby in times of boredom? Can't
 you fall back upon that faithful
 ally?
 But what a foolish young man
 your sweetheart is not to sense that
 he is wearing his welcome out, and
 that you are getting fed up with his
 society. Some one should give him
 a tip to the effect that wise lover
 should always keep girl wishing
 that he would. come a little oftener
 and, stay little later instead of
 dreading his coming and wonder
 ing why he doesn't go home.
 The slang phrase, /"You make me tired" expresses the limit of human disillusionment, and this is thing that lovers do well to bear in mind, for the people who make us weary, whose conversation has ceased to interest us, who have come to bore us, have lost a charm that there is no regaining.
 And, alas this is the fate of all of whom we see too much. They talk out We have heard all of their stories. We have listened to all of their adventures We know what they are going to say before they say it and we yawn in their faces. ~
 It is the occasional visitor who
 is always entertaining and inter
 esting. It is the lovers who meet
 but seldom who bring ardent long
 ing to the interview.
 Propinquiry is the great match
 maker, but it is also the great
 matchbreaker.
 As for the young mans feeding you on chocolates instead of feeding mother on them, grieve not. Eat your candy while you have it. After marriage you will be in mothers class. Most men think that marriage pulls a woman's sweet tooth. DOROTHY DIX. Dear Dorothy Dix: l am girl of nineteen. My husband deserted me a very short time after we were married. I am to become a mother in few months and I don't know what to do, I have no money, and no relatives, and although work cannot make enough money to more than barely support myself. I could not take care of q child. What can I do when my baby comes? Can~I put it in an orphans home? Should trp to keep it? Could I try to get somebody to adopt it! Please tell me what to do.
 A DISAPPOINTED WIFE. Answer:
 God pity you, poor, little, helpless girl. There are no other cases in the world sadder than those of girls like you, too young, too ignorant and too helpless to face the great ordeal alone, without husband or friends. gI Of course, you can put the child < in an orphan asylum. And prob
 ably that is the best thing for you
 to do, because mother with baby finds it impossible to take care of t it properly and earn living for J it, too. Nor does the mother en- cumbered with a child find it easy
 to get work. If you care more for
 the child than yourself, and your
 mother love is great enough to make
 you willing to part with it for its
 own good, it might be best to let
 some couple who are able to care
 for it adopt the child: Legitimate
 babies are in demand, and the su-
 perintendent of the hospital can
 usually arrange the matter.\ s DOROTHY DIX.

Sem pie School
 Commencement Of Interest

The twenty-fifth annual commence ment exercises of Mrs. T. Darlington Semple's school in New York City, held the past week at the Plaza, was of spe- cial interest to the large circle of per sonai friends of Mrs. Semple in Bir- mingham, as well as to many aiumnae of the school.
 The occasion assembled former Sem pie school girls from many states in the union, and was made particularly brilliant by the number of graduates Of this year, and a special musical pro- gram, under the direction of James o. Boone, one of the best known musical directors in the country.
 A special address by the Rev. Dr. Nathan A. Seagle, rector of St. Stevens and also by the Rev. Dr. A. l.. Jsuagg, rector of St. Matthews, who presented the diplomas of the school, were heard by an unusually large audience, which gathered in the Rose room of the Plaza. Against flower-banked background Mrs. Semple, in white and gold gown, and the members of the graduating class, all in white, received the greetings of many friends, and the brilliant assem- blaze, made up largely from the south ern set, augmented by representative gathering of New York's social set, later broke up for the dancing groups and supper parties which closed the eve ming.
 Mrs. Semple was assisted in receiving by her daughter, Miss Ellen Semple, and among the Birmingham people were Miss Lestra Kinney Exum, a student at the school, graduate of the coming year. Among the former Semple girls was Miss Exum's mother, Mrs. Culpep- per Exum, formerly of Birmingham, who came on for the commencement ex- ercises, and who renewed old friend ships, and looking very little changed from the beauty that Birmingham re members.
 A class dinner preceded the exer- cises, and for d week before the school closed there, were series of interest ing events at the school which over looks Central Park. All Alabama has reason to feel a personal pride in the success and distinction of his school, founded twenty-five years ago by Mrs. Semple, an Alabama woman, at one time resident of Birmingham, and the daughter of one of the states distin- guished lawyers oldest alumnus of the state university, Colonel Gunter of Montgomery, now in his ninetieth year. The school ranks high among educa- tional institutions for girls and com pines the unique advantages of great city with country environment.

wants her to do. If he is big
 enough and wise enough to wash
 off the slate an dstart afresh, there
 is no reason why they should not
 be happy and make their marriage
 success.
 Because q woman has been guilty of an indiscretion in her youth is no in dication that she is of an immoral na- ture and that she is not to be trusted. On the contrary, many a girl who has taken n step on the downward path is filled with such a horror of it, and re- pents it in such bitterness and tears as makes her a better woman than the so- called good woman. And just because she has had such terrible lesson, she walks warily among the pitfalls all the balance of her life.
 Some of the noblest women in the
 world, women whose souls have
 been purified by suffering, some of
 the most generous and pitying, and
 understanding women, are women
 who have a dark chapter in their
 past, who have stumbled, and
 fallen, and picked themselves up,
 and climbed out of the pit into righteousness. Ys
 Christ said to the Magdalene, "Neith- CT do condemn thee. Go and sin, no more" So should we all say to the repentant woman who is leading good life. We should give her a helping hand, not push her down, as we do if we refuse to let her come back.
 There is no more reason why
 womans whole life should be spent
 in paying for the error of her
 youth than there is why a mans
 should. Why shouldn't man for
 give a woman just as women for
 give him? The kind of lives they
 are going to live after marriage
 is much more important than the
 kind of life they lived before mar
 riage. DOROTHY DIX.
