Advice to Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairax
Try Work at Uoaao.
Pear Mrs Fairfax: I am 8 years of
age and am very plain looking. I am
not very popular and I find much leisure
time through the days which I aim at a
Ioms to utilise to good adventsge. As I
do the housekeeping here I feel that I
could do soma sort of home work during1
my spare time. I ran sew well and like
to write, if you would be so kind aa to
Inform me through the (taper as to how
I might secure home work you will
greatly oblige,
A LONESOME STRANGER.
If you sew well enough, why not at
tempt to do home dressmaking. If you
have neither the time nor tha Inclination
for this, you might attempt to secure a
little fancy work from the shops, or yon
might make cake, cookies, etc, and try
to place them through the nearest
woman'a exchange.
Uoa't Interfere.
Dear Miss Fairfax! A friend of mine
once had a very intimate girl friend.
They were both very fond of one another,
but through a third party these two
friends separated two years ago. fiinre
that time they have spoken but little and
are not the same friends as they wero
before the other girl earn between.
Now. would you be so kind as to tell
me what I ran do to have their friend
ship renewed, as I know It would be 'he
teat thing for both. A. Z. .
Don't try to play Providence. ' Yoii
really have no way of knowing whst will
be the best for your friends. If they are
managing to get along nicely without,
each other, let a ell enough alone.
-. There are some tender-hearted girls who sense life In every
thing that moves even if it be a breath of wind as the flower sways,
who are kind to everything, snd who would caress and love s
flower for 11s own soft sweet sake even if it came from a man
whose name makes her lip cur. A' course here wnat could an
eavesdropper do but go back with "nothing to report" from the
front? But the "see-er of things" would know. For there woujd
be no ghost of a lover hovering over the dewy mass of the blossoms
that brought his heart along.
Fevers that Bloom in Spring

It seema painfully ironlo that the ap
proach of tha fairest and moat charm
ing seaaon of the year, spring, ahould be
heralded by the fiercest outbreak and
w id oat spread of diseases of any 'month
in the calendar year.
Not only doea every country doctor well
know that his heaviest professional work,
hla longest rldea and his shortest snatches
of sleep Invariably come Just at the
period when the spring thaw haa dropped
the bottom out of tha country roads, but
the very Roman name In our calendar of
the month which, at Mediterranean latl
tudes, correspond to this dread period Is
February, tha month of fevers the
febrile" month.
And, of course. It haa been a elaasle
canon of pathetlco-romantlo literature
that the wan and wasted victims of the
great white plague struggle through the
winter to fall and fade with the coming
of tha spring flowera.
For once tha findings of modern acience
and vital etattatlcs firmly and unml
takably support an ancient popular Im
pression. Not only doea tha general death
rate In almost every city and country of
the temperate sone mount steadily from
Ita lowest point In July up to Ita climax
In March or early April, but tha same
ateady and fatal rise Is found In their
curve when we map out tha ravages of
moat of our serious Infections diseases.
This Is rather surprising, for while It
seems - natural and proper enough that
there ahould be an Increase In tha coughs,
colds and consumption group of diseases
which are supposed to have to do with
chills, exposures and wet feet at thla
moat trying and changeable seaaon of the
year, there doea not appear, on the sur
face, any good reason why dlseaaea like
scarlet fever, diphtheria, meaalaa and)
whooping cough, which are pure tnfea
(Ions and are not supposed to have any
thing particular to do with tha weather,
should also reach their high water mark
In the spring.
But the same causa really underlies this
Increase In deadllnesa of all these widely
different diseases, though that causa

weather of the approach of spring is
with Ita delicious spells of relaxing
warmth and their accompanying "spring

violence of Ita vibrations that plays the

than monotony or stagnation.
It Is not the March weather we suffer
from in . March, but tha December and
January and February weather, which
haa then piled up Its effects upon ua to

are sick in March,, not bccaum It Is
March, but because It Is the month that
follows January and February.
If we could suddenly put July In Ita
place, weather and all, we would suffer
Just the same, though probably not quite
so severely, because we could take the
open-air euro and enjoy It.
The deaths and diseases snd break
downs of early spring are piled up there
by the accumulated strains of four
months of winter's cold keeping us pris
oners In our houses, sealing up doors and
windows, stewing In our own breaths,
with unlimited swapping of disease
germs backward and forward under hot-
bouse conditions.

By a curiously similar mistaken logio
the Romans used to o.ame tha fickle
weather of tha early spring unjustly and
accuse It of causing malaria "The sun
of March that breedeth argues." as Virgil
phrased It.
Its genial warmth did not "breed
