Car a man love 8 girl when such a perfect understanding exists between themf would make . very good wife for him, but am afraid that my years of true friendship gre against me Please tell me what you think. v. M. Answer: Love comes in many ways Sometimes 1t Is as swift as light ming stroke. Sometimes 1t Is a slow growth, and takes a long time to flower. And, of the two, the latter is apt to last the longest.
 Certainly there Is no reason why a man, who has "palled" with a girl ever since they made mud pies to- gether. shouldn't discover that his feelings for her had changed from little sister to sweetheart, and that friendship had ripened into . warmer passion. Lucky, indeed. is the wom- an who is the recipient of such an affection as that. She will have no need to fear that'it will ever change. for 1t is part of the very warp and wool of the mans life. and she is woven into his every thought and memory and habit.
 After all. what we call romantic love (the airy, ethereal thing that is made up of illusions and delusions) that a man and a maid have about each other-the love that Is composed of thrills and tremors-lasts a very short time. Marriage brushes away all of the cobwebs, and then if a man and a woman are to be happy together they have to fall back upon a kind of glorified friendship. They have to have the freedom to yawn in each others faces.' to say what they think. to give and take criticism without offense and to be able to commune together in silence
 You are fortunate to be able to ap- ply this test of congeniality before marriage instead of after 1t. and so you may be very certain that your romance will end like the fairy book, And so they were married and lived happily ever afterward."
 Dear Miss Dix-Please tell me how to be perfectly happy. I am 24 years old and of & very sensitive nature. I am engaged to a fine man, but still am not perfectly happy. Will hap piness ever come to a woman after marriage? There is no other man, nor any skeleton in my closet. It is just me, that is all. Should go ahead and marry this man or try to get interested in some other one or something else? am seeking happi- ness because without 1t nothing is worth while. A DAILY READER.
 Answer: If you are seeking per- feet happiness, you are on a fruit less quest. my child, for nobody has ever found it. There Is no such Atbing in the world. The nearest we Fever come to finding happiness Is when we cease to attempt to secure it for ourselves and try to bestow it on other people.
 You ask if happiness ever comes to woman after marriage. Not per feet happiness. No woman ever finds

all that she desires in a husband be- cause men are human and full of human faults and shortcomings. Even the best husband has little ways and habits that irritate his wife. Mar riage calls for sacrifice. for work and worry. Women bear children in agony and are slaves to their ba- bies. Yet for all of this, most women are happier married than they would be single, and the less a woman thinks of her own happi- ness and the more she thinks of the happiness of her husband and chil- dren the happier she is.
 Whether you should marry the young man to whom you are engaged or not cannot tell. Your own heart must answer that question. Do not marry him expecting to find perfect happiness But there is better thing than just seeking your own happiness In life. It Is to do your duty, and to be of some use in the world. And along the road you will find contentment. even if you do not

On two occasions she angered. me to such an done with her. I refused to have anything to do with her for 6 few | days until finally. after many en- treaties and oceans of tears on her part-which l expected-I took her back.
 +.n Now, here is my problem. No mat | ter no" many times l forgive her there Is always the chance of her an- gering me again, but if I don't for give her. that is, If I actually carry out my threat for all time. I will ul- tlmately lose her. It Is possible that self-respect in love? PETE.
 Answer: There is no self-respect in love, Pete. There Is only gentle 1 ness, and tenderness. and a desire not to wound the one we love. Before real love, dignity and what you call self-respect, which is nothing but personal vanity and arrogance, shrivel up into nothingness.
 Because it Is gratifying to your egotism. you humiliate this woman and make her grovel before you. You hurt her tender, foolish heart so that she sheds oceans of tears, and you make her crawl back to you like a l whipped dog-and then you talk about love! It is a sacrilege to use the word. You don't know what love means.
 | Evidently, the kind of wife you want is woman without any spirit or independence of her own, one of the "yes-yessers" who will be your echo and agree with everything you say, one of the humble sort who will kiss the hand that strikes them.
 So my advice to you is to marry this one. who comes on her knees, and weeps, and begs to be taken back. That species of woman is | about extinct. and you won't be likely to find another one.

 It seems decidedly short sighted for parents to allow their children to cut this period short, as 90 many do nowadays. A young girl wio Is be- ing properly educated should have her days full, with school, gymnas. ium. dancing lessons and any special courses she may be taking, such as music, painting, languages. etc: This is what the life of a normal young girl should be, with the great thrill of looking forward to the Christmas and Easter holidays, with their par ties and amusements.
 Then there 10 the great fun of planning the year when she will be- come grown-up in the eyes of the
 world tand, she hopes, in the eyes of her parents.) Then there will no longer be restrictions on parties.
 "Sneaking out" I'm sure, cannot be so much fun as the good old "com- ing out" and I am sure that 1t is
 not as sensible when the girls fu- ture Is considered.

I have always been very fond of him, but have never let myself consider him in any light but that of a big brother. as I Knew that while he liked me very much it was more friendship than otherwise.

UPHELD IN COURT

CHICAGO. November Federal
Judge James H. Wilkerson yesterday
upheld the contention of the United
States Railroad Labor Board that it
has authority to compel persons to APP
pear before it to give testimony in mat
ters being considered by the board.
His decision was given in suit
brought by the board against ID. b.
Robertson of Cleveland. president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, and ]. n. Ma
Euire, general chairman of the Chi
Cago ana Northwestern section of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers.
Judge Wilkerson ruled that such
authority, however. could not be con-
sidered as being judicial, but it does
provide that in the event of persons re-
fusing to answer summOnses the board
can seek redress in the courts.
100 Workers Affected.
The ruling affects about 100 railway
employees. who, with Robertson and
Mcguire had refused to testify on the
grounds that the Labor Board had no
legal right to question them. They took
that stand when the board assume ed
jurisdiction over wage and rules dis
pute between the two brotherhoods and
virtually every one of the Western rail
reads.
Attorney Donald r. Richberg, who
had appeared in behalf of the union
representatives. said last night he would
have no comment to offer on Judge
WilkerSon's decision, but that the case
would be carried directly to the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
We feel that we are right" declared
Mr.. Richberg, land SO shall carry the
case to the highest court in the land for
ruling. The law gives us 10 days in
which to answer, and provides that we
may appeal directly to the Supreme
Court without first carrying our case
through the intermediate court
The attorney said he would confer
with his clients within a few days and
decide definitely his cnurSe of action

AT MN ETY.
by lie Baron Russell Briggs in the Atlantic Monthly

Charles William Eliot was thirty
five years old when, in 1869, he left
a professorship at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology to become
President of Harvard College. APP
prevail of his election was by no
means unanimous. He was a chem.
list; and to make chemist President
was a perilous innovation. He was
not widely known, though certain ar
ticles of his in the Atlantic Monthly
had attracted attention by their new
treatment of educational problems.
He was not popular, nor capable Of
bidding for popularity. To many he
was personally formidable, Bos-
tonian aristocrat, now puritanical,
now dangerously radical, and al
ways tactlessly outspoken. Today he
is the greatest figure in the history
of American education, the foremost
citizen of the United States-not
honored only, but beloved
The transformation of public feel
ing toward him is caused in part by
the steadily increasing greatness OF
his own character and life, but chief.
ly by the discovery of that character
and of the use to which that life is
put. Power he exhibited early. Pow
er over men and affairs he acquired,
day by day, with speed which bred
bewilderment, distrust, and alarm.
