ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN

NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ I have been going about
with a man for year, but we
had a quarrel over money and I
apologized later, but / never see
him any more. Do you think he
no longer cares? His mother tells
him to come to see me, and his
father, too. am fond of his
parents and his sisters.
BROKEN HEARTED.
VOU have learned a hard les
= son, my dear, from a hard
teacher experience. You have
learned that it doesn't pay to form
hasty conclusions, snap judg-
ments, and proceed to lose your
temper and berate your friends
because of these mistaken and
hasty conclusions without know
ing all the facts. In fact, it never
pays to lose ones temper. You
will not be sure OF holding your
friends until you have learned to
hold your temper.
Your friend, however, should not
hold a grudge after you have apol.
ogized. If he is still angry with
you, ask yourself whether you
could ever really enjoy the friend
ship or love Of a. person so SOW
to forgive.

noBBY had planted some
pansy seeds. And you
know how little boy or
q girl is when he or she does that.
Even the next morning Bobby
was out to see if there were any
signs of the seeds pushing their
green tips out of the earth.
Then one morning, Bobby came
running in to me, his little face
shining like new silver dollar
and his eyes a deeper blue than
had ever seen them.
They're upy'l he shouted.
"What?" i asked, putting down
my book.
"The pansy seeds. Foxy Grand.

At first could see nothing, but

way through the ground.
Isn't it wonderful, Foxy Grand.
pa, to think that you can put
seed into the ground; then it rotS
and out comes living plant.
Very wonderful, / agreed.
THE Greeks appreciated that, so,
much so. that they believed a
goddess and her daughter were
in power over growing things"
Tell me about Them" begged
Bobby, dragging me to a cool
seat in our summer house.
1T was Persephone and. her
mother, Ceres or Demeter.
"Persephone was the daughter
Of Jupiter and Demeter. She was
very beautiful, and Hades, the
brother of Zeus, saw her and
wanted to marry her. But Hades
lived under the earth In the in.
fernal regions, and Demeter, the
mother Of Persephone, didn't want
her daughter to live in such a
miserable dark place.
However, Jupiter, the all
powerful, had given his word to
his brother. Hades, that he could
marry his daughter; 50, one day,

keeps on going at all.
After q little sentimental skid,
a husband is usually quite will
ing to submit to the safety Of
the matrimonial chains" for a
while.
The strongest force in the world
is the force of habit; 1t will hold
a man and women together. long
after the bonds Of love have been
broken, the ties of affection weak
ened, and even when the letters
Of the LAW could not bind them
to each other.
Most men are like persimmons;
they may respond little to the
sun OF your smile, but it takes q
touch of frost to make them sweet
and tender.
Marriage is the point at which
the world gradually stops saying,
They seem just cut out for each
other" and begins saying, What
did they ever SEE in each other?"
A man loses his heart just
once; after that it is passed along
from girl to girl and never finds
its way back to him.
Funny, but a man will forgive
a woman for breaking all the Ten
Commandments. but never for
laughing at the wrong moment
or wearing a gown an inch lower
than his ideals.
Perhaps woman was called the
weaker vessel because. sooner or
later, she lets everything leak
out"

Receiving a Compliment

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ When given compliment,
how should one receive it?
(2)-When introduced, is It
proper to rise and shake hands?
To a man? To a lady? E. p.
NRACIOUSLY, thankfully-and
" not awkwardly. This is a
very good question, E. P, for
many people think that they have
to appear Indifferent to a compli
ment. The point Of view should
be to thank the person for his
or her kind thought of you. Many
people. forget to say the kind,
gracious, appreciative thing, and
when a person does think to say
it, that thought should be thanked
for Say, at least this: Thank
you very much. You are very
kind"
Often one gets into a bit of
awkwardness by saying, Thank
you very much. You are very
kind to say so" 1t is easy then
for the other person to imagine a
bit of emphasis on say" and
think that we are misinterpreting
his or her sincerity. Have you
noticed how often that can hap
pen?
(2l-When two fades are being
introduced, they usually rise, but
when gentleman is presented to
a lady the lady does not rise.
You may or may not shake
hands-that is as, you wish, and
depends upon your native cordi.
ality, and your friendliness. I
must add, however, that, in ac-
knowledging introd6ctions, people
do not shake hands as much as
formerly.

CUMMINGS WINS t
 WESTERN GOLF TITLE
Chicagoan Brushes Opponent, Who Had Been
 III, l2 Up And 10 To Go

CHICAGO, Aug 11,-Finishing a week of golf with still better golf than she had yet displayed, Edith Cum mings of Chicago, added the western woman's golf championship to her na- tional title by finding Miriam Burns of Kansas City, off her game and de- feating her by the wide margin of 12 and 10 at Onwentsia.
 The fact that Miss Burns, last years title holder had been ill all night of ptomaine poisoning and did not play up to the form she has shown during the rest of the tournament could not detract from Miss Cummings fine work for it is doubtful whether any woman golfer could have defeated her today. The champion not only won the title but got the gold medal for low quali- flying score of S4 and conceding her two puts that were not holed, she would have had low score for the meet as she had a total of S1 in the morning round today.
 Owing to the conceded butts, this honor goes to Miss Burns, who scored S2 Saturday in the semi-finals and holed all puts. Miss Burns also set a record of 37 for the first nine, one stroke better than Miss Cummings score on that half today. The down fall of the champion made no excuses for her poor showing for the match and in fact it would not have been very poor except by comparison for, aside from putting and one missed drive she was up to the green on equal terms with her opponent most of the time.
 The morning round was played in rain but bright sun shone on the final holes to cheer a gallery of large size, but the afternoon round reached
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-12

only to the eighth hole as Miss Burns was even less effective after luncheon and managed to halve only one of the eight holes played. In fact the Mis- sourian won only two shots in the 26 played and halved. only ten. At that she bettered par by one stroke in the first nine and was two better than par for the eight holes she played out on the second half. She was five above perfect figures for the eight holes of the second round taking three puts on four consecutive greens.
 Miss Cummings had Il birdies and was over par on only one hole, which was one of two on which she took more than two butts. And she was four under par for the eight holes played on the second round, having a par on the ninth for a second 38. -
 Rain bothered the women all through the meet and probably had on effect on the results of the tournament for it should have ended on Saturday.
 In winning her way to be runner up Miss Burns who is 19 years old, and student at Northwestern univer- sity, qualified by virtue of her title won last year.
 Miss Cummings is 2G years old and a sister of Dexter Cummings of Yale; intercollegiate champion.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 12.-The Mickey Walker-Benny Leonard bout scheduled for New York August 20 will have to be postponed for at least a month, Billy Gibson, Leon- rad's manager, announced early today after physicians examined Leonard's thumb, injured in his bout with Pal Moran. The examination revealed torn fragments and possible frac. A ture.
 OLYMPIC ARENA, CLEVELAND, Aug. 11.-Benny Leonard, world light weight champion, defending his title for the first time in eleven months, easily defeated Pal Moran, New Orleans chal- lenger, in 10-round nodecision con test here tonight.
 A tabulation by the ringside experts gave Leonard nine of the 10 rounds while the sixth went to Moran. The champion. boxing with. his old time skill and dash so far outclassed Moran that the result never was in doubt. Leonard blocked perfectly and danced away from Morar's wild rights whenever the challenger dared to carry the fight.
 Benny Hurts Thumb
 The victory, however, may prove costly to Leonard, as he dislocated the thumb of his right hand in the fourth round. This injury may force him to suspend training in preparation for his match with Mickey Walker, worlds welterweight champion, scheduled for 10 days later. The damaged thumb was encased in splints as Leonard sat in his corner after the fight.
 Billy Gibson, the champions mana. ger, said tonight he could, not determine what effect Leonard's Injury would have on his training for Walker until an examination can be made tomorrow. Leonard convinced his admirers that he had lost none of his speed as result of his lay off of nearly year. His judgment of distance was marvelously accurate and he whipped over his punches in championship form.
 Moran Retreats
 The champion continually had Moran on retreat except for the sixth round to escape possible knockout.
 In the eighth round he drove Moran to the ropes, under a smashing attack causing the New Orleans lightweight to sag as result of solid punches to the head.
 Moran boxed timidly and was wild with his right hand swings. Whenever he poked a left into Benny's face it was feeble and lacked steam. Moran slipped and was wrestled to the floor a half dozen times in the earlier rounds.
