average of once a week, sometimes
twice. It Is about time he was declar
ing his intentions? And If he never
mentions such a thing as love, shouldn't
she let him go and give someone else
a chance? Last Summer I met a young
man at a lake and we grew quite fond
of each other before I returned home.
Since that time we have corresponded
more or less regularly and I have
grown to love him more than all else.
I know this is not a mere passing
infatuation, because it is over a year
now and I have had plenty of chances
to like other fellows, but none seems to
come up to this boy. The question is
this: I know he liken me, but in what
way I cannot guess. Would it be proper
for me to write and ask him his in
tention in a tactful way? I know that
until I learn his Intentions I will be
unable to transfer my affections to
anyone else which isn't fair, as I keep
company with several young men who
seem serious. M. R.
You will be happy if you marry the
man you love. You know better than
I whether you love the first man or
not. I should say that if your heart
is with the young man whom you met
at the lake last Summer you surely do
not love this young man. But you may
be mistaken about your affections for
your Summer lover. Do not think of
writing to him an dasking him his in
tentions. That would be a most im
politic thing for you to do under the
circumstances.
In answer to your second question.
the young man probably thinks that
you are too young to be married or he
does not feel in a position to support a
family. Eight months is not a great
length of. time, you know.
Her Father la Wealthy.
"Dear Miss Slake: I am a girl of 22
and am in deep distress. My father is of,
an old colonial iamiiy ana weanny.
I am In love with a young man who
holds the position of bookkeeper in
father's factory. I am certain that he
reciprocates my affection, but he will
not ask me to become his wife because
of the dltterence in our social standing.
Under these conditions would it be
proper to ignore the old tradition which
will not allow a woman to propose
marriage? I am sure that I can never
be happy with another. '
"PERPLEXED."
No. do not propose marriage to the
young man. X think that you could
do as many other girls in your position
have done that is, get your father in
terested in the young man to such an
extent that he will want to help him
along in his business. If you can make
your father see that he is a deserving
young man and that you are very much
in love with him I am sure that he
will be willing to help bridge the dif
ference In social standing. However, a
difference in social standing should
really not be any barirer where true
love exists and I think with a little
tact and loving influence you can per
suade your father to this effect.
DrnslIIa's Christmas Tree.
A FEW days before Christmas Dru
silla looked very mysterioi. and
when Bobby Jones looked out one night
he saw her sitting in her corner sur
rounded with bundles. Little bundles
were lied with red ribbon in white pa
per coverings.
"What have you in the bundles?"
asked Bobby Jones, not thinking any
thing at all about Christmas.
"I shouldn't think you would ask
questions so near Christmas, Bobby
Jones," replied Dxusilla.
"Christmas doesn't make any differ
ence to us," replied Bobby, "only there
are more new toys in the playroom- and
old ones get slighted for a while."
Now. that is just like a boy to think
of Christmas in a selfish way," said
Drusilla, "but this year you will think
of it in another way, and a pleasant
way, too, I can tell you, for we are
going to have a Christmas tree here in
the playroom."
"You told me about the one last
year," said Bobby, "when the baby doll
came, but I didn't see any fun for me."
"Well, you will this time," siad Dru
silla; "the tree is to be for us all, and
we will all have a present, and the tree
is to be a little one for all that live
in the playroom."
Teddy bear pricked up his ears and
the monkey swung around and looked
at Drusilla; the paper doll put her head
out of the window and the wooden sol
GIRL WHO IS TAKING PART IN
diers stood up and looked at each other,
saying they did not expect a thing.
The -little doll that lived in the doll
house came to the door and said some
thing about having a porch light for
her present, but Drusilla only looked
wise and told them- all they would
have to wait until Christmas.
Christmas morning Drusilla's little
mother .came into the playroom bring
ing a little tree glistening with tinsel,
and when it was placed on the table
the little bundles that Drusilla was
guarding in the corner were put under
the tree and some were hung on it.
"I want Bobby Jones mended, so he
can sit up and see. the tree," said Dru
silla's little mother to her mother.
"Poor Bobby Jones has ' been broken
since he fell right over when you
opened his box, and I have something
for him on the tree, so he must be
mended."
Bobby was carried downstairs, and
when he returned he was fast in his
box again.
"Now. I will give -them their pres
ents," said the little mother. "Here are
a watch and chain for you, Dxusilla;
let me put it on."
Then another package was opened
and a little sweater for Teddy Bear
was in it- "There now. that place the
moths made in your fur won't shbw
any more, Teddy," said the little mother
as she put it on him.
"And, Bobby Jones, here is a new
cap for you that will cover the place
where the monkey pulled out your
hair," and Bobby held very still while
it was put on his head.
The paper doll had a new set of fur
niture for her dining-room and the
little doll in the dollhouse had the light
for her porch. Just as she had wished.
Bobby Jones bobbed up and broke
the silence of the room that night. "A
Merry Christmas to all!" he called out,
and up came all the heads, and Drusilla
spoke next.
"What did I tell you, Bobby Jones?
Don't you like Christmas now?" she
asked.
"I should say so," replied Bobby,
wagging his head. "I feel like a new
man my spring repaired ana a new
cap. I certainly fared well.'
Everybody said they received just
what they wanted, and after talking
a while Drusilla took out her watch
and looked at It. "My, it's late," she
said. "Good night, I must go to sleep."
And the playroom settled down to
slumber, thinking that there was some
thing in Christmas after all besides
new occupants for the playroom.

What the Fashions of the Fifties Might
Teach.
A FRIEND was looking over a box
of family heirlooms. She picked
up a pair of dainty half-sleeves of
cobwebby linen, exquisitely hand-embroidered
and hand-made.
"Just think!" she exclaimed. "Grand
mother made these. Look at all those
tiny stitches. They are so small, you
can scarcely see them-" She fingered
some other bits of hand-made lace and
fine neckwear in the box and then sat
silent for a few moments.
"Our grandmothers made things in
this beautiful way," she finally reflect
ed, "because fashion lasted with them.
But it would never pay us to put such
work on things, for in two months or
so they'd be old-fashioned and we'd
have to throw them away." She picked
up the half-sleeves again. "She's worn
these you see until they are almost
worn out. Fancy any fashion of today
in little dress accessories staying in
long enough to do that. My bureau
drawers are full of collars and jabots
and guimpes and belts that are alto
gether out of date, and yet I have
scarcely worn them, at all."
What she said is quite true, isn't it?
And doesn t it suggest that in spite of
our belief in our wonderful advance
in many ways over our grandir others,
we are not so far ahead of them In
some things as we think.
Surely in some matters of dress did
they not show a good deal more sense
than we do?
Would our level-headed grandmoth
ers have sanctioned for a moment the
present whirl of fashion? Would they
ever have discarded that precious "best
dress" after a few months and when it
was by no means worn out because for
sooth, "they" and nobody knows yet
who this autocratio "they" is said
skirts were tiered instead of plain,' or
full instead of tight, or sleeves long
instead of short?
Beshrew me, I think not.
I think they would have put their
pretty little feet down very firmly and
worn' that treasured "best dress," the
pride of their heart, until they felt they
had gotten a satisfactory amount of
wear out of it.
Of course, it will be said that our
grandmothers didn't have time for the
changes of fashion that beset us today.
that they had larger families to bring 1
up, tne nousenoia linen to weave, tne
candles to make, the hams to cure, the
bread and biscuit to -bake, and that
they were only too glad to mave a "best
dress" hanging in the closet of the
darkened "spare room" ready to wear
year in and out to their few festivities.
But if this is true, isn't it an indict
ment of our use of our greater leisure?
Can't we use it to better purpose than
spinning the wheel of fashion around,
to putting our girdles up under our
arms one month and dropping them
down over our hips the next? If we
have the greater leisure, and no one
will contend that we haven't, aren't
there more -worth while things for us
to do than to use it making our clothes
over every few months so we can have
them in fashion?
It really is a serious question and
one that women should really take a
stand about. And since the war in
Europe has somewhat altered the fash-H
ion question, since it seems to point to
the development of American fashions.
isn't the time ripe for American women
as a united body to take some stand to
simplify this question of dress, so that
so much of our time, our money and
our energy will not go to clothing our
selves? Isn't there in this country some one,
or, better yet, several clever enough to
design dresses beautiful, artistic and
appropriate to the uses required of
them and not too costly, and aren't we
sensible enough and courageous enougb
to adopt those fashions and to make
them stable, so that there will not be
the constant money-consuming and
time-consuming changes in style of the
present?
Let us think about it, at any rate.

Destructive Suggestion.
QOMB time ago the Mayor of one of
aJ our Western cities requested the
editors of the dally papers to refrain
from publishing the details of suicides.
because their publication had caused
an alarming epidemic of suicides in
that community. ,
The human mind may be attuned to
any key, high or low, base or noble, by
the power of suggestion.' The sugges
tion may be in a word spoken by one
self or by another; it may come from
a newspaper, a book, a play or a pic
ture; it may emanate from the presence
of a friend or of an enemy, from a
grand, heroic character, or a mean.
cowardly one. From hundred of
sources it may come, from wli . .i or
without, but from wherever It omes
it leaves its mark on the life for good
or ill. Our characters are largely
made up from various kinds of sug
gestion. ' " .. .3 , T , J nfl.. 1 . 1
so, and these take root in minds that
might otherwise be free from them and
therefore happy, confident and success
ful.
Who can picture the havoc which the
suspicious suggestion has wrought in
innocent lives? Think of the influence
of employers holding the thought of
suspicion regarding . their servants or
other employes.
Servants have actually been made dis
honest by other persons perpetually
holding the suspicion that they were
dishonest. This thought suggests dis
honesty to the suspected perhaps for
the first time, and ' being constantly
held takes root and grows, and bears
the fruit of theft.
Is it not cruel to hold a suspicious
thought of another until you have
positive proof? That other person's
mind is sacred; have you any right to
invade It with your miserable thoughts
and pictures of suspicion? Many a
being has been made wretched and mis
erable for years; has been depressed
and borne down by the uncharitable,
wfceked thoughts of others. There is no
doubt that many a man is serving a
sentence which ought to be served by
those who have Influenced him to com
mit the crime for which he is being
Dunished.
The time will come when we snail
have more sympathy for those who go
wi-one-. and even for criminals, because
we shall know how powerruiiy numan
minds are influenced by the viclouB
thoughts of others.
We are the creatures of suggestion.
We set them from newspapers, books,
from everyone with whom we come
in contact. The atmosphere is full of
them. We are constantly giving them
to ourselves.
Manv a criminal's acts could be
traced to the graphic suggestions of
criminal novels, the exciting stories
of murder and plunder which he be
can to read when a child.
It Is a dangerous tning to noia in
the mind a wrong suggestion, for it
tends to become a part of us, and, be
fore we realize it we are like our
thought.
If young people only realized what
a terrible thing it is to get even a
suggestion of impurity into the mind
they would never read an author
whose lines drip with the very gall
of death. They would not' look at those
danererous books which lead their read
ers as near the edge of indecency as
nniuible without stepping over, lo ae
scribe impurity in rosy, glowing, se
ductive, suggestive language, is but the
reflnnment of the house or deatn.
The suggestion of impurity in trashy
literature is responsible for a great
rtool of diBHlnation: for blasted hopes
and blighted lives. The same is true of
suggestiveness In art and tne drama.
w havA all had the exalted expert
ence, the marvelous tonic, the uplift,
that has come from the suggestion in
a play or a book depicting a great hero.
How heroic and noble and self-sacrlf 1c-
fna- wb feel for a long time, and now
resolved we are to become like the hero
in the play or the story. This is a good
illustration of the power suggestion is
constantly playing Jn our experience
all through lite.

The two men possessed six letters.
bearing unqualified recommendations
of them and the cause they represented.
The letters are dated six months back
and bear the alleged signature of an
Arabian missionary. Each of the let

Surplices were found In possession
of the men, one of whom was dressed
in clerical garb.
