BE VERY SURE OF YOURSELF.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
! am a girl of twenty and am en-
gagged to be married to man whom
| do not love. At "a ball short time
ago | met man to whom | was
greatly attracted and whom L have
since learned to love. Subsequently he
told me that he is married, but is
not living with his wife, and as he is
suing for a divorce he wants me to
give up my fiance and wait for him.
My parents are very much in favor of
my fiance, as he is in good circum-
stances financially. What do you
advise me to do?
A CONSTANT READER.
I advise you to make haste very
slowly! | have an idea that you do
love the man to whom you have
plighted your troth. and that the man
of the world who has wooed you rath-
err unconventionally has simply infat-
uated you with his clever methods.
If he has made a failure of his first
marriage perhaps he would not be a
very good husband to you either.
Learn more of his story and then
make sure that you are treating the
man to whom you are now engaged
with absolute fairness.

LEAVE THE WAR OUT
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am twenty-five and deeply in
love with a girl of twenty. Since
this European struggle she seems to
ignore me, as our nationalities differ.
We are about to be engaged, and I ask
your advice if it would be advisable
to do so, because trouble may arise
between us after our marriage, owing
to our nationality? b. B. G. s.
You and your sweetheart are both
living in a country that is mercifully
removed from the sad European
struggle Don't bring racial differ

permitted to lead here. Be broad
minded enough to pity all the warning
nations, to feel that you share in the
sorrow of all these suffering peoples,
and to find sympathy for your sweet
heart in her nations calamity as well
as your own. The war has nothing
to do with your love and marriage.
Don't be silly enough to- drag the con-

gentleman who calls once in while
to see me, at which time he some

Although several times | have
spoken of my engagement, he insists
upon asking me out, not believing

writing postal cards with love sayings
on them.

You must make it clear to this man
that you are engaged and that you
are loyal and loving fiancee. If
necessary, your father or your fiance
might speak to him and ask him to
discontinue his unwelcome attentions,

ings of a man who scarcely deserves
consideration, manage the affair with
emphatic dignity that he cannot mis-

 While not instructing the police tC use clubs. the order is taken, as in dicating that no punishment will fol low if clubs are used on young men with no means of support and of evi, reputations
 The restoration of the nightstick rule was universally welcomed by the police. who have chafed under the taunts of gangsters. since the early days of the Gaynor regime The uni formed men have felt that it was a double injustice to be brought up on charges at the instance of some gangster. whom they had affronted and at the same time be held respon- sible for disorderly conditions which a liberal use of the club might have cured. Technically the police may use their clubs only in self-defense or in overcoming resistance to lawful arrast, the commissioner explained with smile.
 Mayor Mitchell said that his state ment of last Saturday had been cor rectly construed to mean that the po-- lice might use their clubs on the 2angsters. He said:
 "I hope the police will use their clubs on every gunman ,'on whom they can lay their hands. I don't mean by any means, however, to re lax the very admirable policy of the late Mayor Gaynor with reference to the use of clubs on decent citizens. shall have no hesitancy. however, in sanctioning the use of clubs on men who start gun riots in the street"
 When Commissioner Mckay read this statement, he exclaimed:
 Fine Fine!'
 Mayor Mitchell praised the work of the police yesterday, saying:
 "The police seem to be doing very good work They are going along very vigorously. That's what I told the. commissioner wanted them to do. told him to besuhrenitting and seo right after gangs"
