Every wife, as a rule, is ready to be

the occasional wife who haa the percep

so few men make their wives acquainted

point on which women need training.

A
Advice to Lovelorn
SSS By UiTUOI fAXBTAX
Forajet About Yonr Lameness.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young man,
!2, high school graduate, excellent habits.
1 have met a young lady recently, whom
I could love dearly. I would like to take
her to different places of amusement, and
as I am lame. I hesitate in asking her
to go, as I think she would feel embar
rassed to go out with me on that account.
Do you think I am Justified In feeling
that way? McB.
My dear boy, no girl who is worth car
ing for could possibly be repelled by
your lameness. It need not interfere with
your looking neat and attractive, and
proving a .kind and attentive escort. Since
you have education and cnaracier ana
refinement of feeling (all of which are
evinced by your well written little note),
1 am Inclined to consider the girl who at
tracts you very lucky. The beau of the
town where I once lived waa lame and
one of the most fascinating men In his
tory (Lord Byron) had a club foot.
Don't Spite Yoorself.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young lady,
17 years of age. and I am in love with
a young man about 30, but he does not
pay much attention to me. Another man
about 27 la lust crazy about ma, but I do
not care much for him. He la willing to
buy a machine If we get married, al
though I do not rare for him. My girl
friend advises me to marry him for spite.
MAZ1E B.
The only person you will spite If you
marry a man for whom you do not care
will be your own aad little self. How
can you hope to attract a serious minded
man of If you are a silly child who
would marry for an automobile or to hurt
the feelings of the man you think you
love? Put away these unworthy emo
tions. Maiie, and set about growing
Into a fine woman who will deserve the
love of a good roan some day.
Twenty-FiT" Haatdrrd Year.'
Dear Miss Fairfax: A young man has
shown me marked attention for the last
year. He Is kind, thoughtful, well edu
cated and has always comported himself
a a gentleman. He wishes to marry

never earn more than 2.5uO a year. Should
I accept him. AP.NB.t in..
On II.S00 a year you can live very nicely
and save a bit of money, If you are not
an extravagant woman who cares mora
for luxury than for love. If you love
this man, I think you are quite safe In
marrying him. However, If you do marry

the more brilliant opportunities you might

can and menaces happy home life, la the
alarming tendency of the present genera
tion to avoid parentage.
Young married people In good health,
with good brains and bodies to transmit
to offspring, and wives who might be the
proud mothers of statesmen or beautiful
daughter, frequently Impair their health
and beauty rather than accept the re
sponsibilities of motherhood. .
Here again we find the reflex action
of mind; for often these wives are daugh
ters of mothers who have borne too many
children and have missed the happiness
of youth and the relaxation a perfect
home should give in the never-ceasing
caree of a large family. I do not know
What the statistics state regarding the
relative number of divorcea among child
less people and those who are parente,
but I do know that Nature intended mar
riage to be followed by parentage as
naturally aa aummer follows spring.
And I know that even the aad experi
ence of motherhood which lasta but a
few brief hours often makes a new and
indescribably sacred bond of affecUon
between man and wife. There are many
happy marrlagee where no children are.
It I true, yet the wife who has never
felt the stirring of a little being under
her heart has missed one of life's and
love's most wonderful experiences.
They walked the valley of the dead;
Lit by a weird half light:,
No sound they made, no word they said;
And they were pale with fright.
Then suddenly from unseen places came
Loud laughter that waa like a whip of
flame.
They looked, and saw, 'beyond, above,
A land where vmnihl inni
(Those spirits called to esrth by love.
And driven back by hate);
And each stood in anaulah dnmh n,i
wild.
As she beheld the phantom of her child.
Yea, saw the soul her wish had hurled
Out into night and death
Before it reached the Mother world,
Or drew its natal breath.
And, terrified, each hid her face and fled
Beyond the presence of her unborn dead.
And Good's Great Angel, who provides
Hotilg for our mortal land.
Laughed, with the laughter that derldea.
At that fast fleeing band
Of self-made barren women of the earth.
(Hell has no curs that withers like such
mirth.)
"O Angel, tell us who were they
That down below us fared;
Those shapes with faces strslned and
gray.
And eye that stared and stared:
Something there was about them gave US
fear;
Yet are we lonely," now they are not
here." .. . . . ......
Thus spake the sTctl-at "crindreii. Ihua
The Angel made reply:
"They have no part or share with us,
They are but passers-by."
"But may we pray for them?" the phan
toms plead.
"Yes, for they need your prayers," the
Angel said.
They went upon their lonely way
(Far, far from Paradise);
Their path waa lighted with wan ray
From ghoatly children's eyes
The little children who were never born;
And as they paaaed, the Angel laughed
in acorn.

The earth in its relation to the sun, showing how our planet turns on its axis in its rcvolu
tion about the source of its heat and light. Both sun ano earth are flying through space to
ward the star Vega, so far from us that the mind can not even grasp its distance.
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
The earth's double motion Is a source
of never failing Interest. The earth
seems to be rushing up the steps of a
mighty spiral stairway, which towers
steadily through the abyss of the stars.
The aun ascends along the axia of that
spiral, which la like the core of masonry
In the center of a cathedral atalr-well,
and the earth wlnda about the sun as It
mounts upward. "Up" and "down" are
mere relative tcrma anyway, and they
anawer well enough to indicate the course
of the solar system through space, which
is no more accurately deacrlbed by tne
uaual statement that Its direction la,
roughly, from south toward north,
For every five miles that the earth
progresses around the center of the aptral
ta ascends three miles In the direction of
the spiral's axis. The star Vega, one of
the brightest In the heavena, lie not far
out of the line of that axla. The velocity
of the earth'a (and aun'a) motion toward
Vega Is about eleven miles per second,
while the velocity of the earth's motion
around the an Is'abeut eighteen ami one
halt miles per second. In one year the
earth advanoea 330,000,000 mllea nearer to
Vega, but because of the spiral shape of
Ita path It has to travel about 6SO,M,000
mllea.
Many curious consequences follow from
the fact that our planet Is thus forever
voyaging onward through space. One of
these consequences Is that we have no
fixed home In tho universe. We keep In
company with the sun, it Is true, but It
la only by chasing along with him, like a

Meanwhile Marie, disguised in the suf
focatingly tight black mourning outfit
of the Widow O'Keefe, waa many blocka
out of the danger sone, smothering In a
telephone booth and calling up the place
where June had gone to work. Mra. Vll-
lard waa not in her beautiful home up
the Hudson, nor waa Miss June there.
They had cone into the city, but the
maid gave Marie a telephone number.
Mrs. Vlllard answered that call from a
gorgeously furnished room, where half a
Idosen stunningly gowned young women
sat smoking, and her kindly face showed
Immediately concern when she learned
that June muat not com home to the
Widow O'Keefe'a.
Why?" ahe naturally wanted to know,
'Well, you're a friend of hera, aren't
you?" hesitated Marie.
"Of course," smiled Mra. lllard, and
before her rose the fresh young face of
pretty June.
"Well, then. I'll tell you." Marie threw
her thick black veil over her shoulder for
the twentieth time, and a drop of per
spiration trickled down her nose. "I'm
her maid, Marie, and she mustn't com
horn."
"But he' already started," worried
Mrs. Vlllard. "Shea probably there by
this time. Why mustn't she come home?"
"lias she?" And the voice of Marie
cracked. "Oh! Goodby! How am I to get
her away from there!"
"Wait a minute!" This seemed to be
no time for asking questions. "I'll come
down In my car!"
"Oh, yes, do!" gasped Marie, nearly
pulling the transmitter off the walL
"Goodby! I have to hurry?"
"Walt a minute! Walt, Manet Where
am I to comer'
"Oh. yea!" And Marie gulped. "It's
the Widow O'Keefe'a. at the corner of
Deshley street aud Durk alley, right
across from Tim C'ouiky's saloon. Any
pollrrrusn can tell you the place. Hurry!"
And Marie, starting another seam in the
Widow O'Keefe's mourning dress,
plunged out of the telephone booth, bat
tling for air.
Mrs. Villsrd stood at the 'phone a
moment, with a musing smile growing
upon her lips; then she gave the num
ber of a magnificent club. The man
whom a brass-buttoned page brought
through the marble corridors from the
leather-hung library to answer the call
wore a suave smile and a black Vandyke.
"This Is Mrs. Vlllard, Gilbert." came
the low, sweet voice. "I have something
very Important to tell you, June."
"Oh!" Gilbert Blye stroked his black
Vandyke with his long, lean, white
finger. "I'll loin you iminediately
wherever you say."
"Shall I stop at your club?"
"Please." Gilbert Blyo walked out of
the telephone booth, sent for his hat and
sat In the reception room near the door.
The family limousine of the Moores
had no sooner rolled away from th
widow's house than Kammy O'Keefe un
locked the closet door In proud self-ap
probation.
"What waa ItT' June asked. '
"Your husband. Miss." And the Widow
O'Keefe laughed her crackling triumph
and rubbed her gnarled hands over .each
other. "It's small satisfaction he got out

"Ned:" cried June, and she clutched
at the banister rail. "He was rcre!"
"Right where you re standin. miss.

the widow heartily. "They got not h In
