Dear Mra Ayer The writer, a young man of twenty. 1s In love with a lady of thirty. She objects to my salary of $0 per week, saying It Is not large enough; but does not object to my age. Please advise. S.A. M. OES the young lady intend to marry a salary or a man? Forty | dollars a week tsa very fair ine Come Indeed. No woman who truly loves a man would healtate to start life on such a eum. I would suggest your being patient and not too hasty in the matter of matrimony. No man of twenty can safely choose a life companion. If I were writing to the girl I would surgeat her not being too exacting, for young ladies of thirty are periloisly near | aplnsterhood for life. If vou are getting $19 a week you ought to be In a posi- tlon to make a very favorable tmprea- sion roctally, because, when all ts sald, | money gives many advantages.

Tt 1s Imooxstblo for me to tell you what the young man means. You were unwise to allow ‘in to kiss you. Tt Is a great mistake for a girl to permit such a Itterty unless she ta ergaged to marry the man. My advice to you Ie to be very cir- cumsnect in your behavior with this forward young person. Do not permit him to kiss you. or to talk of love in any vague terms. If necessary, te!l him that you do not understand whether or not he wishes to “keep compan, as you term It. Tarn Was He Made a Liar. Dear Mra Ayer: I kept company with a young lady for two years without having any quarrel. One day a young lady whom I was very well acquainted with met my lady friend and told her things about me which were not true. To prove whether it was true or not I brought that young Indy to prove tt, nd ehe made a Mar af me right there, although she knew she was telling a lie, Advise me, please. JAMES.

Bascom Canning, in a knot of black- coated friends, stood at the altar walt- ing for her. He was a biz, young fel- low. poor. an art student and not cap- able. He was envied because of nis success Jn marrying this rich woman. We thought it to be a good match for him. He was too lazy for other en- deavor and would have starved on his pictures. A stream of light fell on him from a glass in the high roof and I thought he was pale. There was nothing In the ceremony to distinguish it from other ceremontes of the kind. The bridegroom was the more nervous, but that ts usual. Dr. Armand took my arm, walked down the street toget! ought to say here that he !s a physician without practice.

Returning to Paris in late autumn I got my old quarters and unpacked my trunks. In shaking a coat the envelope fell out. I cpened it and read: “He will be dead before winter.” “Too much absinthe!’ [ said In refer- ence to the doctor, and threw the pa- per in the grate. That evening at the Trois Freres Restaurant I glanced through a copy of the Temps. Straight- way and unconsciously my eye fell on the death notices and I saw: Died, at Bigorre, on Tuesday, Nov. 10, Bascom Canning, in the twenty-ninth year of his age. The disease was tnani- tion, complicated with failure of nerve force. The remains were interred at Bigorre."* I went to see Armand, the paper in my pocket.
