ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * By Beatrice Fairfax I

HIS AFFLICTION NO BAR.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am nineteen and became ac
quainted with a man of thirty-four,
with whom I fell in love. He is at
ptesent employed in a large office
and gets a fair salary, but his right
hand is amputated. I think the
world of him.
All my friends tease me and ask
“ liy such a good looking girl should
fall in love with a man who is af
flicted like this.
1 am the first born child- also
the only girl in the family, and my
parents are strongly against my
meeting him. WORRIED.
If he has lost a hand, but has a whole
i heart, a clean record and n Bright mind,
his affliction should be no bar.
If your parents' objections are based
solely on his crippled condition, they
are neither fair nor charitable. But
make sure they have no other objec
tions before you beg for their blessing
and approval.

or asking to come out. He acts as
though he is ashamed of something.
Then when he comes back he says
that he has been thinking of me all
the time and that I am the only one

YOUR COUSIN IS WRONG.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am infatuated with a young

go to a place of amusement with
me and she refused. I decided to
go alone, and when I arrived she
was there with another gentleman.
I think she loves me very much. In
fact. I know she does, as a cousin
of mine who lives next door to her
toid me so. But every time I ask
her to go out with me she refuses,
and if any other fellow asks her
she goes with him. GERALD M.
Your good sense should tell you your
cousin is no authority. The girl does
not care for you! Begin your siege
to her heart with that in mind.
If she continues to refuse your at
-1 tentions withdraw them for a while
That may awaken her interest in you.
AND THEN. WHAT?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am a young man of 19 and deep
ly in love with a young lady who
is six years my senior. When wt
are together she seems very affec

lieve she cares for others. When I
question her she seems grieved and
denies the charge. We also differ

You do not believe her word, and
happiness is never founded on a doubt.
You are afraid "if you give in now
you will always have to." If you loved
her as a man should love a woman,
such a fear would never enter your
mind. The man who "gives in” to his

ambition and gets somewhere.
I You ire not in love; you think you ■

Worthy of Emulation
By Beatrice Fairfax
WE are told from childhood up
that we must learn from our
elders.
Heaven help us if we confine our les
sons in life to instructions from those
whose years are more, for we will miss
the more valuable teachings of child
hood.
Notice the little children in their
play. One has a doll's go-cart; if it
has three wheels or four makes no dif
ference to the hapniness of the owner.
Another has a battered doll, another
the remnants of a china toy tea set,
and another drags a discarded starch
box. which is to be the banquet table.
They do not throw these precious be
longings away and stare sotirly and
enviously at a child who has been fa
vored witii more. The knowledge that
the child in the next yard has a new
doll that cries and winks, a real little
table and chairs, and a complete set of
dishes, makes their joy none the less.
They “play like” their crippled doll
has its full complement of arms and
legs, if a cup must serve also as a
cream pitcher their powers of imagina
tion see the cream pitcher on the table.
Given powers of imagery a poet may
well envy, they behold with the eye of
the mind all that their little hearts de
sire and are happy.
A Valuable Lesson.
I They "play like" the kitchen aprons
they drape around their waists are
long velvet trains; they "play like" the
crackers they serve on their broken
dishes are Ice cream and cake, and they
"play like” everything broken and old. is
whole and new. and their ability to
"play like" this from morning to night
lias a lesson more valuable than we
could learn from the oldest and wisest
seer.
We must learn from childhood tn
cover defects with the beauties of
imagination.
We must learn when compelled to
wear a suit a season too long to "play
like" it is new: we must "Blay lik "
everything old and worn and sordid is
beautiful and just what we like. We
must be children again, and find the
power of happiness lies not in material
possessions but in the possession of an
optimistic imagination.
There is no, other way to be happy.

Perfectly Safe To Wash Fine
Dress Goods.
Saleswoman to Customer— “ Yes ma’am, this batiste is
much the prettier and finer of the two. But if I were
you, I would take the percale—it’s heavier and will
stand the boiling and rubbing of the ‘wash’ better. ’’

You take that batiste. It’ll wear longer washed with
Fels-Naptha the Fels-Naptha way than the heavy

You’ve heard a woman say:
“ This waist has worn terribly. I’ve
only washed it a couple of times and it’s
falling to pieces.”
Clothes cost too much nowadays to he

scalded until the life is gone out of the

washboard.

Use it the Fels-Naptha way —in cool

fresher than you ever saw them before.
