THE GIRLS JOB
6Y JESSIE ROBERTS.

Here is a letter out OF my line
but as love is after all large part
of any life, even that OF us workers
suppose | may answer IL to the
best Of my ability, with the hope
that others will find it Interesting
as life always il interesting.
"Dear Miss Roberts should like
your advice in the following matter
This summer | met young man
during my vacation who seemed
very much taken up with me. We
walked. rode and chummed togeth.
er during my whole vacation. and
when IL came time TO part ! nat
urally thought he would come 10
see me and renew the acquaintance
| have asked him repeatedly 10
come ont and have set dates each
time. making preparations and Civ.
inC up that time to him. But nc
always gives some excuse and never
comes.
Now what I want TO know Is
this: Do you think that " saw
him oftener | could make him care
for me as much as ne seemed to
this summer / will have to ad.
init that he is younger than | but
that did not seem to make any diff.
ference in the summer. would
like your advice as TO how 10 make
him care. the same as he did al
first I should b. grateful for any
hints you might give me. Sincere
ly yours PERPLFXED."
There is no way, Perplexed. The
great impossibility in this world
Is to bring back the lover who has
gone. This was just summer fiirta-
ton for him. and your dignity de-
mands that you do not poster him
with Invitations he has no intention
OF accepting. II he wanted to see
you do you not understand that no
invitation would be required lie
would get TO see you somehow. II
IL bitter business TO face. this ~

the other is through. but faced IL

time or other bv everyone. You
will get over thinking OF him and

CITY RECREATION
CENTER PLANNED
Vacant Rooms in the Court
House Basement May be
Used for Purpose.

q a
Public spirited residents Of Fair.
mont are discussing plan for con-
yertng the court house yard and the
basement OF the court house into a
municipal recreation center where old
and young alike can gather for recrca.
.tton, social diversion and rest.
Several large rooms in the court
house basement as well as the spa.
ctous corridors are not in use at pres.
ent, and the yard about the building
while well kept and attractive is en-
closed by an iron fence and inaccessi.
Bile to the public.
With the saloon banished from the
city there is no public place where
men may gather during the afternoon
and evening to enjoy smoke and So
c1al intercourse and recreation. In
Clarksburg and many other West Viz.
ginia cities the court house square is
ntted up with comfortable benches
and used as a sort OF social center for
the men Of the community.
Various plans are being discussed
by persons interested IN the civic bet
torment OF Fairmont 10 convert the
local court house yard and the un-
used portions OF the basemens into a
similar municipal recreation center.
With the approach OF wlnter little use
can be made this fall OF the yard it.
self and this part OF the plans cannot
well be carried out until pcxt spring.
But persons Interested in tile pro.
ject say there Is no reason why one
OF the unoccupied rooms In tie base
n,ent OF the building shou.d lot be
fitted up this fall with comfortable
chairs, newspaper racks and reading
tables supplied with the latest pub.
LEGATION to be used as u leading room
and rest room by the men o: the con-
n,unity.
Another OF the unused rooms, Il is
suggested, might be converted into an
assembly room for women, the floor
being carpeted and attractive furni.
ture installed, including comfortable
rocking chairs. Other unused parts OF
the building, 1t Is suggested, might be
furnished comfortably with benches
and chairs and attractiyely decorated
SO as to afford an attractive meeting
place for persons of both sexes.
In the spring 1t is proposed to plant
trees and shrubbcry in the court house
yard and to build cement walks about
the building where comfortable park
benches will Accommodate visitors.
The cost of the proposed recreation
center would be small. With the ex.
ception of the amount 1t would cost
to purchase furniture and equipment
there would be practically no ex-
pense. Prison labor, which is always
available under the direction of the
sheriff for the care Of county buildings
and other county property, could be
used to care for the proposed recrea.
ton center, including sweeping, dust
ing, scrubbing and all other janitor
work.
Friends Of the proposed project say
that persons serving Jail sentences for
violation of the Yost prohibition law
could be assigned no task more appro-
pirate than the care Of a municipal
recreation center designed to tale the
place Of the saloon.
