AM AFRAID NOT

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX
I am in love with a Cuban lady and
I am sure that my love is reciprocated.
Ny many friends embarrass me quite
a good deal Dy claiming that she is a
negress. DO you think if I should
marry her I could be happy with her?
I am thinking seriously of proposing.
GEORGE s
My fear that the step would be fatal
is based on your anxiety. Were your
love of the right sort 1t would be i'm
possible for your friends TO embarrass
you. and their doubts would only
strengthen your resolution to marry
the girl. I want you to be happy. but
you must not marry girl only to
break her heart by being ashamed Of
her

A SERIOUS QUESTION
,FAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Having kept company with a young
man for long while. my parents dtd
not like 1t because he is a Gentle and
] am not. so I did not speak to him
for about q year, but now I find that
! stu love him and would like to win
back his love. see him every day.
Would our religion Interfere with our
lover SARA
That is q question for your parents
to decide Such marriages are rarely
happy, for the reason that each is in
a measure ostracised by the family OF
the other. The price paid for such
love grows heavy with the years. Can
not you abide By your parents wishes?

SHE Is IN THE WRONG

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
] have been keeping company with
a young lady for the last seven
months. About a week ago I escorted
her 10 dance where she met some
OF her old gentlemen friends. who re-
ceived her attention all the evening.
When the time came to go home
asked her to go home with me. but
with others. ! then left her. Did / do
proper in leaving her? Who should
apologize RICHARD
She refused to let you escort her
home, though you had taken her there.
Under the circumstances there was
nothing for you to do but leave her.
You owe her no apology
