EAR Miss Fairfax:
~ I'm very much IN
love with a man who Is
separated from his wife.
I'm a widow of 80 years.
I am not sure whether he
ever thinks Of me, because
if he did he surely would
find time to come and see
me. I have waited at
places for him after work.
ing hours, just to see him,
but he never seems to go
that way.
One Of my friends told me
he said he would call me up,
but I have waited over a week
new and still he doesn't call. I.
can't sleep or eat thinking about
him, I'm so much in love with
him. He always was very lovely
to me whenever we met, but I
just don't want to push myself
SO he'll notice me.
His birthday is this month,
and I would love to send him Q
little something. but don't know
the exact date. What can do
about this? WIDOW.
Evidently you're more inter.
ested in this man than he iS
in you. He probably realizes
this and is suffering from q
plain case of masculine fright.
When a woman gets to the
point where she can neither eat
nor sleep, it's time she took her.
self in hand. Try to turn your
thoughts in some other channel
for the present, and take an
interest in another man.
AS long as you don't know the
birth date, there's nothing you
can do. Better taste not TO
send him a birthday greeting
card.

Amethyst tweed with a

your sister, her husband, and
her husbands mother and
father-must be the ones to
answer this question. If they
are satisfied (and they appar-
emily are), that settles it. The
problem is not an easy one, and
especially not easy when the
wife lives with her in-laws.
Naturally her husbands mother
and father would consider it
too formal and "impersonal"
for her to call them Mr.. and
Mrs. And it would, under the
circumstances, probably be
easier for her to call them what
her husband calls them. I

a personal one with all con-

2. When your fiance tells his
mother and father of his en-.

for them to come at once to call
on you. It should be necessary
for you to invite them, but if it
is, you and your mother may do
this.

burning and does most Of the
stirring, as boiling keeps marbles
in constant motion.
Cream which is hard to whip
will whip quickly by adding a
few drops of lemon juice.
Always keep a can or dish on
hand to pour in drippings from
bacon. pork chops, sausages, etc.
This comes in handy for use in
frying other foods, such as
French toast, eggs, fish, etc.
When you have trouble with
vegetables boiling over, add a
teaspoon Of olive oil. In this
way it stills troubled water.

whom 956 were employable and 50
unemployable. That is typical of the
experience Of the Public Assistance
Division from month to month.
$4,000 without Care.
The proposed appropriation of
100000 for general relief for the
fiscal year 1889 will be still more in
adequate. Cases eligible for aid to
dependent children and other social
security titles must be given, assist
ance so that the District of 'Colum-
bia can receive the necessary grants
in-aid which will make more funds
available than otherwise would be
the case. In December the Public
Assistance Division gave limited as
sistance to 1861 general relief cases
In addition to aid for dependent chill
dren-and this does not. as has been
said. cover all the unemployable
cases which made application during
December and who have been given
assistance if funds have been avail
able.
THE proposed appropriation of $780,
900 would mean a reduction OF about
two-thirds in the number of unem-
ployables aside from aid to depend
ent children's cases who could be
handled. That would mean that only
about 900 to 1000 unemployable cases
in addition to dependent children
could be cared for on an average
during 1899, or a reduction Of about
1900 cases. This would mean that
during 1899 not only would 5000 en-
playable cases in need as now ap-
pears to be the case be without as
sistance but also 1900 unemployable
cases. making 1900 cases in all, in
Guiding $1,000 or $4,000 people, resi-
dents Of the National Capital but
with no resources whatever available
for their care. The situation Of the
unemployables is worse than that of
the employabies, obviously even If work
were available the unemployables
could not take it.
No Work In Sight.
"On the other hand, there is no
work in sight for the needy, destitute
employables. The District of Co.
lumbia Employment Center at the
present time has 10000 people regis
tered for work. The recent unem-
ployment census estimated that there
were $1,000 unemployed people in
Washington. At the present time
there are s,s76 people on Federal and
local w. P. A. projects in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The rest Of the
unemployed have no resources except
their own savings, their credit and
the bounty Of friends and relatives,
often almost as poor as they are
themselves. ~
There Is no otherlarge city Of the
country Of which we are aware in
which there is 80 acute q situation Of
need. Other States and cities are
making appropriations for relief of
the employables. Here. we not only
can make no appropriations of our
own for their relief, but are faced with
completely inadequate funds for the
relief Of two-thirds of the unemploy-
able needy as well. The situation not
only is unhuman, but is discreditable

gram, held In the form of banquet

followers of the Church of the Holy
City at Sixteenth and Corcoran streets
NV, was part of the national and
worldwide commemoration in prog

Speaking Of Swedenborg's life as
"The Growth Of q Genius" the Rev.
' William Frederick Wunsch of Brook
lyn, N. Y, declared the modern world
has taken two centuries to make the
same scientific and theological altera-
tions that the mind Of the great Swede
went through In 80 years.
His genius was very slow leaven;
It made It's way in him very gradually"
said the Rev. Mr.. Wunsch. IT we
were beside the man. we would regard
him as extraordinarily quick mentally,
but when we visualize this mass of
achievement that came from him, his
genius Is revealed to have come slowly
through the years.
Moved in Arist0cratic Circles.
"Swedenborg was q many sided man
whose life moved in three worlds. Al
though of peasant stock, he always
moved in aristocratic as well as court
circles. Intellectually, he was In the
foremost circles of scholarship. And
in the spirit, he moved in the world
that we ourselves move in, but to the
point where the world of spirit lay
about for him to observe"
