By BEATRICE FAIRFAX "Can you tell me," writes a lover, "how many nights a week a young man should call sn a glrlt" , "What!" wroto Shakespeare, "Keep a week away? Seven days and nights?" Eightscore eight hours? and lovers' ab sent hours. More tedious than the dial, eight score times? O weary reek'nlng! That Is tho point of view of the lover. The point of view of tho parent la en tirely different, and should 4e consid ered. Tho lover would call every night: The parent,, remembering how soon love, tires, encourages frequent calling If wise and anxious to break the match. If de sirous to have It reach a happy culmina tion, he insists that twice a week is enough. Believe me, young man, love soon wears' ott If. kept up seven nights a week till pear midnight. Iet'the meet ings be tho oases. Pon't make them so prolonged and over-lapping that they be come the desert. "What." asks the Puzzled, "Is the dif ference between love and infatuation?" In the latter one Is being fooled and doesn't know It, love Is blind. True, but Infatuation Is worse than blind; It Is also Insane. r'e lives the longer, and j Is irlaom shamed. Infatuation Is of short life, nnd the recollection brings humiliation- Infatuation means being tricked in love. Oeraldlne writes: "I have been keep ing company for some tmo with a young man of whom I 'think a' great ,ra, i K0 out with him fiulte often, but have never invited him to my home, though he has asked to come, always meeting him on the street.

A .serious questipn from the 'viewpoint of 18 years and a silly one In the opinion of those who are older.

In England n girl Is more composed; It takes a great deal to arouse any kind of enthusiasm In her. Hero you aro all so allvo and interested. And then In England wo don't know how to dress. Oh, I don't mean that wo haven't clothes, or that wo don't spend plenty of money on them, but we lack that llttlo finish, that knack of knowing what to wear, which only comes with interest. Why, In England the last thing In tho world, we plan about is dress. We ac cept dresa as a necessary evil, never as a pleasure. And now I wish that more ot us could study inter est in this great wldo country; there would bo so many more charming girls In England If we could. "1 have found, too, that the American girl Is much better informed than wo are. Whether It is because her mind Is moro open to Impression or vbether It is because she, herself, is deopor I really haven't had opportunity to decide. Perhaps sho is only superficial, but charming small talk seems to mo a wonderful possession." "And what about the English girl?" I inquired of Miss Maude. "Hasn't she any good points to offer? What about, her splendid health and' hoi' perpetual good humor?" "I suppose they aro good points," returned Miss Maude, naively. "But, then, wo take such thing as a matter of course." "That's it; we don't," I said. "It seems to mo that that would bo a splondld point for us to study."

Tho present fashion ot leaving the ttiront oxposod Is comfortable and hygenlc. It Is lovely on young jtlrle. but older women oftan feel that they ounnot ndopt It It on account of the bad condition of the neck. I have been preaching against high col lars for years. They not only ruin tho neck and increase the tendency towards a doubles chin, but they causo wrinkles on tho lower part of the face, and, as years so on, will surely form those cruel, agalng Hues that tun from the lower cheek to wards tho chin. Tho present fashion of leaving the nook exposed Is a great help In th prasenlng of beauty, and I advlso all hiy pupils to adopt It.
