This man la too aeriaia to be laughed at; the problem he now fare I - one that thousands of other are battling with In their search tor happiness, lt n hear from some of our reader on the subject. Miss Fairfax, Omaha, Neb.. Dear Madam: As the air is filled with nowflkes. tha hogs and cattle fed and the horse bedded down, I find myself sitting- beside a redhot stove in a rather sentimental mood. Tho Bre, Post and farm papers have been read und laid aside and. although there are sev ral new novels In the bookcase which I brought homo from Omaha a couple of weeks ago when I shipped a carload of cat tle, yet they can't seem to break the spell' of dreaming which has fallen upon me this afternoon. As I sat down in the rocking chair to dote an hour or two The Bee with Its society .age uppermost caught my eye. The heading, "Advice to the Lovelorn," not only brought a grla, but prompted this letter. Being a bachelor who Is acquiring a few I'ray hairs, 1 have never omitted, no matter how late it was when I sat down or how man. times I dozed off to sleep before 1 fin ished the paper, to read your advice to what ofttlmes seemed silly questions of the love lorn. 'But I have come to realize that the difference between tragedy and comedy was ofttlmes a more matter of point of view, Tho trouble of childhood are very ret to the child and some of us mentally have never grown up. But to my story and why I bothor you. To answer the last first. I will say that T know several In juat my fix and although I have ofttlmes disagreed with the advloe you give yet knowing your experience I was curious as to what you would aay to me. I was born and raised In an Iowa city of 26,000. Went to agricultural college, worked on farms summers and seven years ngo went to farming formyself. Sister kept house for me two years and is with me again while during the five years I ac quired some little knowledge of human na ture by experimenting with married hired men: or batching ss the occasion demanded or rather as the fates decreed. A Resolution. When I started farming I resolved that .1 would not get married until I was able to support a wife and family as modern conditions demanded. There 1 considerable drudgery on the farm at best and I had no desire to make a slave out of a woman while I was getting a start; however, I neved doubted for a moment that when I reached that stage where I was on top and doing fine that the right woman would appear from somewbere and we would get married and live happily eyer afterwards. Wasn't that the way it always happened in every story from childhood up? Somewhere AViir Ideal incarnated was waiting for you '.o claim your own. It was all very beauti ful to the child mind and worked out just imp Santa Claus and fairy stories and was even better when realized as the ideal is by a few in real life. But for the majority as we grow older wa .are compelled to realize that life is a compromise with fate and that we either gamble with the great est thing in lit at stake or go it alone and mak? the best of It. By nature we are gamblers and that a great many .loose wit ness the divorce courts; a great many more lose, but are game losers; pocket their feel ings and make the best of It. This Is par ticularly the case with girls, for they have a more restricted choice and as a rule less experience with' the world to guide them In their choice. I have seen you several times ridicule the man who asks your advice as to a choice between several girls, but you are making a mistake for I am at that place and know. It la not always a case of puffed up egotism but an honest desire on the part of a man or girl who has made up his or her mlJd to compromise with fate. - Thore were over 800 of us in high school; some 3.000 of ug in a co-educational college, , and although I have gone with many a line girl and till retain their friendship I have never been In love or rather in that ethereal state where you feel that you, cannot .exlt without the companionship of some certain person. I have chased with as fine' girls as you could care to meet and I don't believe there I one of them but what would have a good word for me. but there has been no one girl. Sad Isn't it? I cain I see you smMe; the fact Is upon rereading what"! havo Just written I am grinning myself, but seriously such a state Is for the individual one of the tragedies of life. 29 Years Old. I am !9. have a section of fine land, 6ne of the best herds of catjle In the country and am making money. I am-in a position to give the right girl a good home. I al ways was a lover of children and want some of my own, which ambition-1- hope is pardonable. I have made up. my mnd to get married at least before my thirtieth vear has passed away. Sifting my girl Trlends I find there are three which I think the most of, "but none are my Ideal, fhey are really Just sisters to me. Two of them are choolma'ams who find themselves in a life position similar to mine. They are splendid girl, old high school chums and fine pals. They know each other and know I visit and write them Impartially. They are about my age, which putt them In the o!d maid class, and they feel it. They wan homes of their own for which feeling you an't blame them and I know either of them Jould tackle even a farm Job rather than TfO on teaching the rest of their lives which by the way is nothing to my credit. The third girl i a college graduate whose edu cation has educated her away from the farm and the farm Is my life. Now I know that there are many girl who have been brought up on a farm and who love the farm life In spite of It drudg ery who would make Ideal wive. I have mt two or three such, but they were ether , ' . .4.,. I a lan know there ar more and here' is my question at last. With your experience in newspaper wo. -vou think that a sincerely worded ad would invite an answer from such a girl as . 1 am looking for? From what. I know of girls a decent desirable girl would hesitate a long time before answenns an "''""" . it ls nnt thn, ron- paper or iarm ijhh13 " , .", venttonal thing and moreover migbt bring n undesirable consequence At 31. As I said. I will get married' before I. " SJ and I will pick what to my mind Is the best available and abide by that Judgment. I am going to take the philosophy of aer aln poet who said. "Strip your u . of false romance. Love, seldom comes wildly, leaping out of nothingness into your life. It must grow; It must ripen out of friend ship Into perfect comradeship. But ll i thought that through the medium of an ad I could be brought In touch, with one who more nearly approached my ideal I would go It one round. What do you say? Now don't print this ramble unles. you have more space than, you know what to do u if vmi rtn leave my town and name out for I am pretty well khown around here. Address me in your columns bachelor or some such for I will know who you refer to. You can give every one In the editorial room a crack at an answer if you like as you did to the inquiry of the poor fool of a Modest. Thanking you for your ""j'R It Can Be Done.

Then be careful not to pack the flour down in the cup as you measure it. It should be put in as lightly as possible' and the cup should not be jarred or shaken down. Always measure a perfectly level cup just as you do teaspoons and-tablespoons.'' "How do I 'rub in' the fat, mother?" "Well, if you were living a. genera tion earlier you would rub the fat in with your fingertips, but we know now that a fork is a cleaner and a better help.

"There is a question mark because there is no definite quantity to use. One of the secrets of good biscuits is to get the dough very soft, yet still enough to handle. Another secret is to handle the dough as little as pos sible. That is why patting the dough down with the fingertips is better than rolling as well as the saving of the washing of the rolling pin. Use as little flour as possible on the board. "You need not grease or flour the pan for the biscuits Put them far apart if you want crust all around, or close together if you like 'softer bis cuits.
