Dear Mss Faxltttiave com tx you
for some of "our'EXjod advice -which -1
think wllf'iiel'pme great deal. 1 am a
l outi girl who -will be 17 In, a few months
and I am meeting a man wlio is eighteen
years my senior. Ho Is a Wrried man
and has 'two children; but he says he Is
going to ret a-separation from his wife
within a few" months. I lo'o him" deaxlv
and Know that' my .love- Is reciprocated,
and It would break my heart to give him
up. Do you' advise me to continue my
acquaintance wltlThlm? " BEUE BYES.
What a foolish letter, Blue Byes; what
a foolish, torching, ridiculous, pathetic
letter, to Bo sure.
In iove with a married man, and think
that you're going to bo happy?
It.wllLbreak your heart to give him up,
you, .say. Well, I doubt It. Perhaps it
will; but I doubt It
And even If your heart is broken: It's
. a kind, of break that is very easily
mended. But, oh,- the broken heart that
comes If you do not give him up that
can never, never in all the world be cured
again. -
Tou're 17 and the man Is S3; hs has
two children and he says he's going to
get a separation Just for you.
What about tho wife? What about tho
children? How can you care anything
for a man who will throw aside a, woman
who has borne him children, Just as If
she- was some poor, worn-out old shoe
. Just .because he happens to take a fanoy
to a Pretty, new face?
Do sou suppose you are the first, ono
this man has told that fairy tale, to?
Da you think for one minute that you
will be'the last one?
What is there about you so wonderful
. u.ai one-iooK inio your eyes cuum cuiumo
a decent mart into a cowardly sneak alt
of a sudden?
'"For- that Is what this man you're so
dead In love with Is a coward and n
sr.eak.
- You don't believe It of course not poor
little foolish thing you don't want to be
lieve It.
But some day you will some day you'll
come to It, and then
foro It ruins your -life?-
' I'll tell you how.'
"-Is there a- man In your family a
"brother, & father, or even' a brother-ln-
''laW? ' '
'' Well', then, you begin to talk about him
toHhls man you think Is so deed in love
wltit'you. Teirhlm' you want him to meet
your brothfcr. Tell him your brother
' loves' you and is proud of you and wants
to know every ono that you know.- Make
an engagement to Introduce the two men,
and'' watch 'your' romantic sweetheart
sneak. out of It, like the toward and -thief
ine he! is. '
Why. he'll turn white at the very men-
. tton of your brothers name, anu n won i
be two weeks till you see him making
(lqve to some Blrl. who has no man in
tlij family to project her.
, jFrjr It and see, Blue Eyes try It and see.
.'fomo day you'll shudder to remember
'how. cruel and selfish knd wicked and
foolish' you came so near to being.

Neither do a hammer and saw make a

Often the best way to do your own
work Is to have the other fellow do It.

"The Intensity of desire with which the
adolescent girl craves pleasure, and the
conditions under which It is gratified,
are further potent causes for confusion
of standards. The working glri neces
sarily seeks her recreation in the evening
and thus unduly prolongs the hours dur
ing which strain Is placed on muscles and
nerves; contracts bad emotional habits,
and weakens body and spirit alike.
"The widespread commercialization o(

Seven Deadly Mistakes of
No. 5 For Husbands and Wives Not to
By DOHOTIIY DIX.
Tho fifth deadly mistake of matrimony
: . .
For husbands and wives not to be com
panionable. Outside of the
countries in which
women are shut up
in harems, there is
no placo where
husbands and wives
have so little In
common as in
America.
And America
leads the world In
divorces,
In this country It
Is hardly too much
to say that trie
separation of hus
band and wlfo be
gins on their wed
ding day. He goes
one way. She goes
another. He ab
sorbs himself in
business . Bhe absorbs herself In her
housekeeping or society, or her clubs.
He entertains his friends, as a general
thing, downtown, and she doesn't even
know the names of his masculine cronies.
She gives hen parties to women that he
docs not know by sight. Each has a life
distinct and separate from the other.
You "will see the Englishman and his
wife playing golf together, or riding to
hounds together, or tramping together in
long walks over the country. You will
see the thrifty French bourgeois and his
wife keeping the store together during
the week, and thrn off together on Sun
day on some little excursion, or to make
a little feast. You will see the German
and his wife spending their evenings to
gether, happily and placidly, In some
German beer garden, but the American
husband and wife nearly always take
their pleasure singly.
It ts a distinctively American Joke In
which, when a man says that he is going
to Paris, his friend asks him:
"Are you going to take your wife along
with you?"
"Why, no," exclaimed the man In sur
prise, "of course not. Didn't I tell you
I was going on a pleasure trip?"
One of the main reasons why marriage
Is a failure. Is because both husband and
wife are bored stiff. The atmosphere ol
the average home Is as heavy as lead,
and the conversational range better fitted
for the Inmates of a feeble minded Insti
tution than for Intelligent and cultivated
men and women.
It Is literally true that unlets a couple
have children they have nothing what
ever to talk - about, no subjeot In which
they are mutually Interested, and so they
sit up and yawn In each other's faces,
and take to quarreling as a kind of life

This seems an exaggeration, but Just
note the domestlo conversation- at any
breakfast table you know. Isn't It about
Johnnie's new shoes, or Mary's going to"
school? Then about the cat? Then about
ths servant? Then a request for money?
And when there are -no children therepec-.
tolre is cut down by one topic- Thrill..
Ingly interesting, madly exciting, Isn't
It?
Yet, what else Have ths husband and
wife to say to each other? What else
have they got in common except the chil
dren, and the pug dog, and the cook, and
the household expenses? Nothing. .The
husband's work ' necessarily takes him
Into an environment of which his wife
can know nothing, and when he Isn't at
work he goes off with other men to enjoy
himself, for It Is not the custom for
American men and women to play to
gether. To give us due credit, we have blun
dered Into this state ot affairs through
blindly following the line of least reals

In the way they liked best. So have
women, and It must be confessed- the
Ideal of a good time differs In the sexes.
There are a very few American' women
who really enjoy athletic sports, white
the average American married man only
attains, through fasting and prayer, to
the pinnacle where he can endure teas
and receptions with an expression that
Indicates Joy.
Nevertheless, It a husband and wife

for there are no ties stronger than those
that bind us to the comrades of our
happy hours, no society so dear as tht

than the fact that we never question the

packing their camp kit for a run down to
Florida for tarpon fishing, or meet the
Jonses at a suffrage. meeting, we know
that all ,1s well In those two households.
