Advice to Lovelorn
Forget About Your Lameness.

Dear Miss Fairfax: l am young man,
%, high school graduate. excellent habits.
have met young lady recently, whom
] could love dearly. 1 would like to take
her to different places of amusement, and
as 1 am lame, 1 hesitate in asking her
TO go, as I think she would feel embar-
raised to go out with me on that account.
Do you think 1 am justified in feeling
that way? MOB
My dear boy. no girl who is worth car
ing for could possibly be repelled by
your lameness. 1t need not interfere with
your looking neat and attractive. and
proving a kind and attentive escort. Since
you have education and character and
refinement of feeling (all of which are
evinced by your well written little note).
] am inclined TO consider the girl who at
. tracts you very lucky. The beau of the
town where 1 once lived was lame-and
one OF the most fascinating men in his-
tory Gord Byron had a club foot.

the earth has been travelling nearer and

those 5000 years the distance OF the star

TWENTY-FIVE Hundred Years"

Dear Miss Fairfax; A young man has
shown me marked attention for the last
year. He is kind, thoughtful well edu-
Gated and has always comported himself
as a gentleman. He wishes TO marry
me, but he is a school teacher and will
never earn more than $500 year. Should
I accent him. ANNETTE.
On $500 a year you can live very nicely
and save a bit Of money, IL you are not
an extravagant woman who cares more
for luxury than for love. If you love
this man. think you are quite safe in
marrying him. However, II you do marry
him never permit your mind to dwell on
the more brilliant opportunities you might
have had.
