ADVICE TO
YOUNG MEN
Take the Ctrl, after the has been
well whirled around a brilliantly light
ed room some scores of time to
Straw, -Sousa and Herbert, to a se
cluded comer of a -moonlit veranda.
Turning your face so that the moon
light fall* across It with good effect,
look, up Into the sky and observe:
"It Is very, lovely!” I have often
studied this with the "spot light” on
the stage, and know that it causes the
eyes to come out well.
In almost a whisper she Is bound to
reply. "Beautiful!” for she cannot help
noticing your fine profile blanched
Into a delicate marble, and your large
eyas looking almost like twin Mars.
Then sigh as you remark: “This
time td-morrow I shall see the moon
shining on -the Hudson from my lone
ly abode In town.” Look for a Bhade of
disappointment on her beautiful face:
however, continue without the shad
ow: "Yes, I must go back to the office,
the-dally grind; it would not do for
a poor devil like myself to have too
long a spell of happiness; it unfits one
for the work-aday world again.”
Now heave a 60 H. P. sigh. After re
gaining your breath pursue as follows,
and observe all the directions I give:
"Yea; I must go back to the grind
stone; (Slap, your forehead hard.) I
shall think—(put the very quint
essence of saddened melancholy In
your voice) —I shall think (place
hand on back of the settee) to-morrow,
when I see yonder light, of this place,
of this hour, naturally, (let your voice
tremble and remove hand), and of
something—l mean some one who—
seme one else."
She won't answer; so keep right on.
The following speech should be
memorised and recited before a full
length pier glass. Be sure to be letter
perfect in It No gestures are neces
sary; Just straight talk:
"There are some days, Miss Golden
rod, which we think of at times as
forming oases In our life's desert. My
week end at this house has been one
to me. There are hours, too, hours
whan tsars rise In the heart and gather
to the eyes almost Involuntarily and
(soling Is stronger than speech—lts
very Intensity depriving us of giving
expression to what —to what the heart
would fain utter. Have—have I your
permission to call this hour mine?
May I think of it. In after days, as I
shall think of It, oh, how often —may
I then think of It as mine?”
Ksep your ears open for a tremu
lous whisper to the effect that “You
may." You should say, “Thank you,”
or "Ood bless you!” and it Is natural
that you should take her hand In
yours to give due force-to your words;
natural enough, too. that you should
hold it there beyond the time neces
sary to give It a gentle squeexe.
Let the moon play an Important part
In the Impressive silence that will
follow-the aforesaid squeeze In the
atrical parlance, let the moon "do the
leading business” and hold the cen
ter of the stage for a brief moment
NoW, are you ready?
"Miss Qold—Gwendolen! for this
once—(pssslon must ring In your sun
burned throat) —I cannot bear this
longer. I know how weak It Is; but I
cannot, cannot help myself. Gwendo
len, (or whatever her name Is), do
you not see that I love you? Forgive
see my weakness, pardon It as spring
ing—as springing from the strength
of my love. I did not mean to have
told you this. How could the strug
gling, unsuccessful —(I always use
"author,” but you may chance to be
a bank clerk or a real estate broker)
—author, the penniless, disappointed
artist who has seen the dream of his
ambitious youth fade and die away
under the blighting Influence of —of
dastard enemies, leaving him almost
without a hope, how could such a man
ask you to share his lot? —a lot not
on Fifth avenue, a lot not even 25 by
100? Ay. even though he saw In you
the realization of his Ideal, though
since he has known you his thoughts
have known none else; even then he
oould not tell you this. The very
pride which has been the chief ob
stacle to his success In life prevented
him. This foolish weakness, which
made him forget his purpose for the
moment, your noble nature will for
give, 1 know.. Good-bye, Miss Golden
rod— I had rather not face the peo
ple Inside Just new. Good-bye! Good
bye! Will you think of me sometimes
when In after years, when—when—
when you are happy, and I —Will you
think of me then as one who staked
hie all on a vain hope which his sense
of honor bade him give up, though It
sraa to drive him forth again Into the
world a soulless vagabond? Good bye,
sammer. good-bye! Good-bye for ever!
I cannot stay in New York, ror I
might see you In the autumn, and It—
It—wouldn’t do, you know."
Yon will require a short rest after
delivering these lines. You will find
the hand that lies bn yours quite pas
sive. Look-Ifi her-face ud Y° u wl>l
see tears gHatkWag In her eyes. Ten
derly kiss her gnbd;bye. and. like the
good, howsat' American you are. In
quire, “Will you be my wife?”
It Is doMNra to doughnuts that the
girl replies*'’l will.”
For. the HUM M minutes she has
been admiring ybu as so actor; now
aha loves you as a man of business
Riches of Simplicity.

call themselves poor would be rich
eg their Incomes If they would aban
dan g seaasleaa and Vulgar competl-
Uaa with thair neighbors and live

ON A RAINY
DAY
Outside the rain came down in a
gentle, persistent drizzle. It was
a gray day and a gray world and the
last of the season at the summer re
sort.
“Umph!” piourned the girl with un
steady nerves. “I foresee a happy 24
hours. All the magazines in the
house are read and there are no sup
plies to experiment with in the
chafing-dish line, all through our
nerveless habit of eating at the ho
tel. The bridge fiends will begin to
get in their deadly work presently,
and then 1 shall go quite mad! Would
that somebody would ask me to do
something sensible, so that I might
really enjoy myself!”
There was a sharp ring at the ru
ral telephone. After a brief and ex
clamatory conversation with that in
strument she rushed madly in various
directions, grabbing an elderly mack
intosh, rubbers and other outdoor sup
plies and falling into them simulta
neously, while she answered the irri
table questions of the rest of the
household.
“Well,” gasped the girl who was
curled up in the window seat in a
silk and chiffon house gown, with a
box of candy near, "I’m glad to dis
cover your idea of sensible amuse
ment on a wet and horrid day!
You’re crazy!”
“Bosh!” politely replied the girl in
the ragged mackintosh and disrep
utable sou’wester hat just before she
slammed out of the door and splash
ed down to the dock extending into
the Inland bay. “We’re not going to
fish in here —they’re going to sail the
Black Cat out into Lake Miclitgau.
And the perch are biting fine!"
Out of the wet grayness the Black
Cat swept up to the dock, her sails
dripping, her crew jubilant. At the
tiller sat the skipper, disguised from
head to foot in violent yellow oil
skins. Perched by the mainmast in
attire matching the first young wom
an’s was the girl with the aggravat
lngly curly hair. The tall man and
the man with the pipe, being green
hands and city landlubbers, did weird
things with ropes under the impres
sion that they were helping sail the
boat.
Down the bay the boat fled as if
anxious to leave behind the dreary
monotony of the shore. As she melt
ed through the channel out into the
big lake and began to dip down into
the Bwells, while the fresh breeze
struck them full in the face, how her
crew sighed with joy. Out a half
mile they went to the end of the
huge government breakwater that
loomed above them like the wall of
a sky-scraper. Then came a gym
nastic Interval while they escaladed
that forbidden height. Finally all
five landed on the great board walk
on top of it, breathless.
It was ten minutes later that the
girl with the curly hair took a com
prehensive survey of herself and the
others' and chuckled.
The five sat in a decorous row at
the extreme end of the breakwater,
their feet dangling 20 feet above the
waves. Five fish poles bent outward
and a slanting rain beat against their
rubber coats and brigandish hats. Be
fore them stretched Lake .Michigan
to a faint horizon line, as venture
some craft marring the threatening ex
panse of its forbidding waves, that
were tumbling and hammering against
the stanch wall beneath them. A
shrieking gull flashed across their
heads and shot out into the lake.
“And to think,” murmured the girl
in the ragged mackintosh in the awed
tofies of one delivered from a great
horror, “that back at the cottage in
that shut-up room they are playing
bridge and thinking they are having
a good time! Oh, something has eat
en the minnow ofT my hook!”
The hours wore on * and the lake
grew rougher. The capricious perch
bad business elsewhere, and sturdily
refused all lures.
“Fish,” remarked the man In the
yellow oilskins, decisively, “are really
the least necessary thing when you
go fishing. I don’t care if I never
catch any.”
The man with the pipe Jeered.
"You’re jealous,” he said, for he alone
had a bite. "To be sufe, I’ve robbed
the cradle of this four-inch perch, but
I shall string it on an inch rope and
take It home. It represents a half
day’s hard work by five insane indi
viduals, and so it merits considera
tion.”
.Down the slippery wall they slid
to the deck of tho Black Cat and with
one accord headed her directly out
into Lake Michigan for a breathless
spin.
The waves rolled over her side and
splashed her draggled crew. She dip
ped her nose Under the water and,
recovering, shook herself like a water
dog before she plunged again. The
sails strained in the lively wind. The
skipper hauled at the tiller, the green
hands jumped faithfully for the main
and jib sheets at his shouts, and
there was nothing in the world but
rushing water and wind and them
selves diving through it.
The girl in the ragged mackintosh
opened the cottage door gayly. Her
wet hair straggled Into her eyes, her
wet coat clung and she was a very dis
reputable sight.
"I’ve had the time of my life," she
told the card players toasting by the
open fire, who regarded her with dis
may.
"You are simply crazy!" repeated
the girl in the silk and chiffon. "Just
