smooth olive skin, family

of gray eyes, the color of a quiet
rainy day, trimmed with dark
lashes, shining under the thin,
fine curve of black broWS.
Another accent was her
mouth, frankly lipsticked into a
charming and impossible scar

Three Chances to Marry
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a girl of 81, and have
an invalid mother to support.
I have been going out with
three men, all of whom seem to
like me very much and, I be-
lieve, would like to marry me.
The one I have known the
longest is a soldier, about so
years of age, very daring and
reckless.
He has seen a great deal Of
the world, and I like to hear
him tell of his adventures, but
I am not sure that I love him.
The next man is rather quiet,
also very much older than I
am, but he has been married
twice before, both times un-
happily. He has a good posi-
tion, but I am almost afraid to
take a chance with him. Then
there is a young Chinese stu
dent, who Is soon to finish col
lege here, and he wishes to
marry me and take mother and
me back to China with him,
where his people are rich and
influential. I am asking your
advice because I do not know
how to decide.

Advice to the LoveIorn
BY Beatrice Fairfax

Her Mother Doesn't Approve
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am the mother of a very
pretty, talented daughter. She
is engaged to a young man
who does not make a very
good salary. She is only Is,
and he is 20. I am devoted
to my child and feel that she
could do much better if she
would only wait. I have talked
this matter over with her and
explained everything, but she
resentS everything I tell her
and becomes very angry with
me. I am very much worried,
and would feel very lonesome
without her. Please advise me
just what to do. A ANOTHER.
It might be best not to say
too much against this young
man that your daughter has
set her heart upon marrying.
Try to persuade them to post
pone the wedding for a year or
so, if possible. Many things
may happen in that time. The
young man may secure a better
position. Or, they may find
that they are not as much in
love as they thought. Be pa
tient, and don't try to break
up the affair too abruptly.

Civilization and mosquitoes
seldom exist for long periods
together. The mosquitoes men
ace the advance of civilization
and then usually are driven out
by it.
Our forefathers, the pioneers,
struggling over the Allegheny
mountains and settling in the
beautiful wooded regions of
Ohio, Tennessee, Indiana and
Missouri, found the mosquitoes
more troublesome than the In
dians. And though they did
not realize it. the mosquitoes
actually were more dangerous.

early Western settlers, accord

One Of the most important
words in the vocabulary of every
winning player is Pass" It is
strange that so many players,
many Of them otherwise able
StrategiStS, find it difficult to
pass as frequently as they
should. This remark applies
not only to the situation cited
above: the remark applies often
to a failure to allow a low bid,
that reaches the player fourth
hand, to pass. Time and again
another foolish bid allows op-
ponentS to bid and make game.
For example,, The dealer bids
l-Spade; second and third hands
pass; fourth hand bids 2.Clubs;
the dealer shifts to 2-Hearts:
third hand likes the shift, and
game results. Keep in mind the
Importance of the word pass.

Millions Told Of Charms Of Alaska

Northern Pacific Roiiwoy-
Alaska Steamship Co. and
Alaska R. R. Join Hands for
Program Starting this Month

Believing that extraordinary means
and united effort must be employed this
year, and in the future, if Alaska is to
win the high place it deserves in the
favor OF American and Canadian travel
ers, three great transportation companies
that are interested in the development
and prosperity of the Territory, are
starting this month joint advertising
campaign to reach ten million people.
The Alaska Steamship Company, the
Alaska Railroad and the Northern Pa
cifc Railway have joined hands for the
program. As it progresses, in the future,
they hope to have Others come in, until
all interests concerned with the trans
portation and entertainment of tourists
to the far north are cooperating.
Page advertisements, mostly in the
rich color of Sydney Laurence's brush,
will be published in the Atlantic Month
ly, the National Geographic, Forum,
Century. Harper's Magazine, Scribners,
Current History, Review of Reviews,
Life, Time, Vogue, Instructor, Journal
of the American Medical Assn, and
others designed to reach a diversified
audience, school teachers, physicians,
business and professional men and house
wives Magazines of class and quality
circulation receive the preference.
The message will reach a total Of
2,802, 900 subscribers of these magazines,
whose reader circulation is estimated at
about ten million persons. The first adj
vertisements appear this month and the
campaign will run through the May is
sues. The advertisement, which is being
featured in the campaign, is reproduced
at the right Of this article.
There havebe enanumberofattemp
made to organize a united program OF
advertising for Alaska" said Mr.. o. F.
Gibson, General Manager Of the Alaska
Railroad. Unfortunately, objections
and difficulties have always prevented
the starting of broad campaign. While
Hawaii, Japan, Bermuda and other at
tractive tourist destinations were sys-
tematically and effectively reaching the
American people with magazine color
page advertising, and united program,
Alaska has been depending upon num-
Der of individual companies carrying out
small programs in their own way and
the results for the Territory have not
been outstanding. 1882 looked like a
particularly difficult year and | have
felt that if anything was ever to be done
in the way of constructive advertising
program for Alaska that it ought to be
started this year
Mr.. n. C. Cantelow, General Manager
of the Alaska Steamship Company, ex-
pressed the hope that the program would
make noticeable effect upon this year 5
traffic. However, we have not started
this program for this years results
alone, :" he said. Eve hope that this pro-
gram will grow, that it may be continued
year after year, and that all transporta-
ton companies as well as Others interest
edin the development of travel to Alaska,
will recognize the value of cooperative
effort and join with us for the future. |
