REMAIN GOOD

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ have known a young
man about six months. He mas
treated me better than any young
man friend L ever had. He
used to see me twice a week.
A short while ago he told me
that his parents were against
his going about with any girl
steadily. They are not against
me personally, but ask him not
TO go about with any girl for
a while. He is taking this so
hard that he's getting ill. lie
says he won't give me up.
Please advise me what 20 do.
He is eighteen and I am nineteen.
WELL. my dear, there's nothing
w serious in this affair. You are
both too young, that's all. Time
will soon remedy the difficulty.
Don't worry. And don't be IN
such hurry You have plenty
Of time before you. Remain good
friends for a year or two with
out seeing each other so often.
BY that time, If you still ike
each other, there will be time
enough for going about together

Terpsichore or Bacchus-and to
whatsoever his spirit craveth and
his affections hold dearest. Yea,
even unto the damsel, or the di-

Hghteth!
Then doth he do that which his
heart yearneth to do, whether it be
staying at home and quarreling
with his wife or sitting in the bald
headed row at the Revue; whether
it be taking his stenographer to
the cabaret or playing pinochle
with the janitor; whether it he
joy-riding or petting or reading
the Philosophers.
For, that is the magic day and
hour, when every man consid-
ereth himself FREE! And, as a
plough-horse let out of harness,
he dasheth for the stable or the
pasture or the oats or the hay
or the open road. as his fancy
leadeth.
Go to. Even a married woman
may know her Beloved by that
sign. For not every man, who
marryeth for a HOME, spendeth
all the rest Of his days in trying
to escape therefrom.

me how a man disporteth him

gold idea was the fact that you

young pupil were out in the gar
den playing at quoits, just as
you and have been. the boy
made a fine shot and came very
near to the peg,
Apollo, who prided himself on
doing everything better than any
one else, raised his quot and
threw it with great force.
"Zephyrus fluttering over the
garden unseen saw this shot and
with his force blew the heavy
quot toward the young boy with
such strength that it went
through the air like a thunder
bolt and struck and killed him.
Poor Apollo, not knowing that
the deceitful Zephyrus had been
the cause of this, was overcome
with grief, thinking he had done
the evil deed.
"Apollo suffered from this be-
lief and from the loss Of his be-
loved pupil. What to do he did
not know But finally he
thought OF the best way he
could show his love for the boy.
He changed him into the beau
tiful flower which today bears
his name-Hyaclnth.

call a light breeze something like
that?" ...,

II the Chinese, who first discovered tea,

and had studied the nature and require

growth and caused the quality to deterior-
