CJ)e istutient Council The Student Council of Abbot Academy was formed in 1911. It is made up of representative girls of the school and strives to keep up the good reputation of Abbot in all ways. This holds for matters both outside and inside the school, but does not affect the keeping of study hours, tardinesses, spreads, etc. The student body gives its word to report to the Council any actions of any girl, or group of girls, that are bad for the school. In this way the matter is quietly settled. 61

jfatrfajr My dear Miss Fairfax, I am greatly worried, and I want to ask your advice. I will tell you about my case. I am twenty-one, and for several years I have been engaged to a young man, a few years my senior, who graduated from Law School last year and has an automobile. My parents are very fond of him, and his parents, too, are perfectly willing for us to marry. Soon he will be making enough so that money need not hinder us. There is no obstacle in our way, and that is what terrifies me. I have always heard that the path of true love never runs smooth, and I fear that ours cannot be true love since it runs so easily on. What shall I do? Help me, dear Miss Fairfax. I am, gratefully yours, . . H S. Reply My dear, I do not wonder that such a situation as yours causes you much worry and anxiety; it is indeed a serious one. I have a suggestion which may help you out. Why not quarrel a little with him? It would be an easy matter to quarrel in a sweet way, and rouse his anger very gently. You can easily control him, and this would keep your path of love from being too smooth. Dear Miss Fairfax, I am in a most peculiar position. I have three eligible suit- ors, all young and charming. I am unable to choose between them because they all have the same name; George. I lie awake until late every night, thinking about it; how am I to choose? Anxiously, C. Reply Why, my dear, your problem seems to me comparatively simple. Choose the last name which best suits you. Of course you could not be happy with a man whose name did not appeal to you, so seek happiness with him whose last name is pleasant in your ears. fto
