KEEPING THE PEACE
By DOROTHY DIX
■ The finest art in
the world is the art
of keeping the
peace. On our abil
ity to get along
harmoniously with
other people de
pends not only our
success to a large
degree, but your
happiness 1 n life,
yet the majority of
people never think
it worth .while to
study even the rudi
ments of science of
keeping off of other
people's toes.
The average individual goes
through life like a bull through a
china Rhop, smashing into other peo
ple's cherished beliefs, knocking over
their pet opinions, trampling under
foot their prejudices and hobbies.
This raises up for him enemies at
every turn, who stand In his pathway
and blocks his progress, for no reason
at all except that they don't like
him, and they don't like him because
he doesn't understand the gentle art
of keeping the peace.
Of course there are times when all
of us have got to oppose other people
and fight them. There are times
which It Is pusillanimous and cow
ardly not to stand up and put up
the best scrap that is in you. But
90 per cent, of our fighting is utterly
useless, and if we would put one
tenth of the strength that we do In
combating other people's Idiosyncra
sies to walking around them without
bumping into them we would get bet
ter results.
For it is a rock-ribbed truth that
people will do things for us because
they like us, that they would not'do
for us because It Is our right to save
our lives. Our fellow creatures may
owe us certain obligations, but we've
got no way of collecting them unless
they choose to pay. That is what
makes the ability to make friends
one of the greatest assets any one can
possibly possess.
The art of keeping the peace will
carry you further than any other one
thing In the world. Without It In
dustry falls of its reward and genius
dies stillborn. No matter now capa
ble a man or woman may be, If they
cannot get along with other people
nobody wants them.

ENORMOUS CHERRY CROP
Waynesboro, Pa., June 26.—This Is
an unusual cherry year. There is an
abundance of the fruit throughout this
section. C. W. Kelly, merchant, this
place, has a Governor Wood tree from
which were picked 163 quarts of cher
ries. Charles Peters, who lives near
Waynesboro, has a string of cherry
trees on his farm and they have more
cherries on them than he can pick.

It is said, because he must now give
his attention to harvesting his grain
crops. A. D. Morganthall, owner of

Your Daughters
social success depends on her ability to entertain intelligent
people.
You, of course, send her to school—should you stop at
that? Don't you think she should have a musical education
as well? Do you know that we are manufacturers of one
of the best pianos in the world?
Our Petite Grand

at a price ridiculous to think of for such a Grand Piano and
terms that will surprise you.

"but I had to let him go because he's
so cross and surly he was driving my
best customers away." "Smith is the
best workman I ever had, but he kept
the shop in a ferment with his tem
per, and so I had to dismiss him," a
factory owner will say. "Miss Brown
was an expert stenographer, but she
couldn't get along with anybody in
the office so we had to fire her" is
the explanation of why many a girl
loses a good job. "Of course, Miss So
and So is the very woman for the
part," says the theatrical manager,
"but she's never been in a company
she didn't break up. I wouldn't try
to get along with her for a million a
year."
These are remarks that we hear
every day. Moreover, we see how
they work out in real life. We see
the Individual of inferior ability, but
understanding the blessed art of
keeping the peace, going ahead of the
disgruntled genius, and we know our
selves that there is no quality in the
world that we consider more valuable
in an employe or a fellow worker
than Just being agreeable to get along
with.
And if the art of keeping the peace
is valuable in professional life. In do
mestic life Its price is above rubies.
It is the one and only panacea for
the divorce evil, for the thing that
drives husbands and wives apart is
not some great sin, but Just & million
little disagreeable tricks and speeches
that might Just as well have been
avoided as not if they had understood
the art of keeping the peace.
The Trouble
The trouble with most of us is that
we think that amiability ana a pleas
ing personality are solely the gifts of
nature, and we fall to realize that
they are traits that may be cultivated.
Undoubtedly some people are more
pacifically Inclined than others but
we can all learn to keep the peace if
we will.
Why should the ticket agent snarl
out replies at you when you ask a
perfectly civil question in a railroad
office? Why should the shop girl bite
your head off metaphorically speak
ing, if you don't buy the first article
she shows you? Why should the
subway conductor throw an Insulting
tone into his voice when he orders
you to step lively there? Other ticket
agents and shop gtrls and conductors
speak to you civilly and graciously,
and, Incidentally, they are the ones
that always move up higher, because
they practice the art of eeping the
peace.

Answers Queries
WAIT!
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About eight months ago I met a
young man at a party and have been
going out with him ever since. He
held a good position, but lately lost it,
and Is out of work. He knows that I
love him, but tells me to go out with
others. He tells me not to depend
upon him and lose other chances, since
he doesn't know how soon he'll be in a
position to marry. He made a proposl
tition to see ine once in two or three
weeks, but I objected. Was I wrong
in telling him that I wanted to see
him more often? I have no other boy
friends with whom 1 would care to go
out. VIVIAN.
Now that the man you love has busi
ness worries is just the time to prove
your love and loyalty. If he really
cares for your faithfulness at a time
when he is without work will be an in
centive to work harder than ever. And
even if his love is not as great aa
yours such devotion ought to win hyn.
YOU ARE WRONG
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a young man. In love with a
pretty girl. She loves me also, but at
present we are not engaged. She keeps
company and goes out with a number
of other men. Is this wrong or not'
B. K. G.
Until a girl is engaged she has the
privilege of having as many men
friends as she chooses. There is abso
lutely no impropriety in this, and vou
must not permit yourself to be a harsh
and unfair Judge.
PLAY FAIR
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a young girl 18 years old and
have been keeping company for the
last eight months with a young man.
Two weeks ago he brought his cousin
to my house and introduced us. My
friend, having a position which takes
him out of town a great deal, asked
his cousin to see that I wouldn't get
lonesome. While my friend was out
of town his cousin declared his love
for me and we secretly became en
gaged. What should I do? G. I.
Play fair. Write and tell the man
for whom you first cared that you
have become engaged to his cousin,
and hope your old friend will be glad
to hear the news of your happiness.
A SENSIBLE FATHER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a young man of 20, and have
been keeping company with a young
lady about five months and love her
dearly, but my father objects to me
going around with a steady girl, and
says he will give me some valuable
property if I promise him not to go
around with a steady girl for throe
years, although I am earning $lB a
week and think I could support a wife.
A. R. L.
Ton have a very sane and sensible
father, my dear boy, and can do noth
ing wiser than listen to his advice. You
are really too young to think of mar
riage. The girl who appeals to you
now may not be the wife for the man
you are going to be. You are doing
very well in the business world. Set
yourself a mark and see if you cannot
at least double your earning capacity
in three years. And wait a few years
before picking out a life partner.
TOO YOUNG TO MARRY
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Recently I became engaged to a
young lady 18 years of age, I being 20
years of age. Last week I broke this
engagement. I told her when we be
came engaged that I would be unable
to marry her for at least three years.
She assented, and said she would wait.
But after looking at this matter from
every possible angle I concluded that
it was unfair to both of us to be en
gaged for this length of time. I am
making $82.60 per month and am pro
moted SIOO yearly. Did Ido right? I
know she loves me and that I love her,
but don't you think if her love Is true,
that when the time comes, she will
still love? SIGNOR.
You have shown excellent judgment
in this matter. You are too young to
marry and of course a love that can
not last three years will not live for a
lifetime. Beside being sensible, you
are very honorable not to ask this girl
to be one of the sad army of "women
who wait."

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN
CAMP
In the July Woman's Home Com
panion C. H. Claiidy writes a little :
article entitled "Frank's First Camp," ]
in which he describes the best way to
live in a tent. It is a practical article '
full of valuable suggestions for camp- '
crs. Following is an extract:
"The most important thing to learn
in camp Is not to drink water you
don't know about. The river water
looks good, but it may be full of all
Sorts of invisible filth. Spring water
is usually all right. But when you
don't know your water, boil it anrl
cool it before you drink it. You can't
be a good camper and neglect your
own body."
