Miss Fairfax Answers Queries
YOU WE'RE COURTEOUS

1OU WERE COURTEOUS
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Recently 1 escorted a young lady
to the subway, purchased a ticket for
her and parted from her. Now 1
learn that she is highly offended at
my having purchased the ticket for
her. Do you consider this attitude
justified?
G.. w. G. D.
What you did was courteous in
deed, and 1 think the young woman
was not only foolish but little bit
discourteous to discuss the matter.
If you were not in a position to es-
cort the young lady home it was
very kind of you to take her as far
on her journey as possible, and since
she would not have objected to you
paying her carfare had you been with
her, she is blundering when she ques-
tions your good taste in having paid
her fare and practically put her on
her car.

In Case You Think Our
Postal Employees Have To Pay
More Than They Did To Live

II is hard to believe that we have a
class Of workers held down today By the
same amount Of pay for their services
that they received in 19o7-TEN YEARS
AGO.
Everybody knows that the purchasing
power of a dollar has been cut fifty per
cent in that time-ffty per cent may be
a conservative estimate.
None other than our own Uncle sam
is the offender in this instance.
The men who have had their salaries
cut in half and, perhaps more while
growing old in his service, are his letter
carriers and postofice clerks
We know that every reader of The
Times will be quick to see the injustice
in this state of afairs-the absolute im-
possibility Of it,
We know that every reader appreciates
that the men to whom we intrust the im-
portant matter Of delivering the mail and
picking up the mail and sorting the mail
must be possessed of a degree of inteili-
gence that would bring them better
return in almost any other line Of en-
ployment.
We know that every reader appreciates
that honesty is an essential to efficiency
in our postoffice department and realizes
that the pay of these employees should
take into consideration the frailties of
human nature and be sufficient to safe
guard the weakest among those vino
often are entrusted with values often
times impossible OF fixing with the dollar
sign.
We want YOU TO give the postal em-
ployes your interest.
Perhaps you have seen the carriers
leaving the station. loaded down under
their back-breaking packs, with long
walks ahead of them in all kinds OF
weather
You know from the size of those packs
that all the letters, postcards, packages
and papers and what-not had 10 be sort
ed, hurriedly but carefully, while other
letters, postcards, packages and papers
and what-not were coming in to be sorted
hurriedly but carefully to make trains
leaving on the minute.
Would you want to change places with
one of these men in Uncle Sans service
at the same rate Of pay he received i0
years ago?
Would you accept ANY position today
at the rate Of pay in that same position
10 years ago?
You, Of course, would not
You do not think it right or just or
fair that these men should be held down
to a rate of pay received by them 10
years ago? We know you do not.
That being the case. WHY DON'T
YOU PAY THEM MORE?
Perhaps you hadn't thought about il
before in the light of your relation As
employer to these men, but they arc all
YOUR employees.
All you have to do is TO call in the
cashier and tell him that you are shocked
and surprised to learn that these efficient
men haven't had a cents worth of rec
ognition from you since 1907, and that
you want them given raise, immediate
ly.
In other words. sit down and write
your foreman, Postmaster-General Bur
Lesson, Washington y. G.. what YOU want
done in this matter, and If Uncle Sam
isn't about the most cold-blooded employ
er on the face of the earth at tho pres
ent time, the thing viii be done In
hurry
Everybody write that kind of letter.
The postal employee won't Kick on
handling the increased business

Narrow Skirt Is
Fashions EdiCt

There are some dressmakers who are
still holding out that they will not re-
duce the width of the hens in frocks
or suits, but isn't Ii rather foolish to
hold out against Paris fashion that
has been accepted by the American
buyers7
Naturally change in the silhouette
of the skirt is drastic thing. 1t can
not be lightly regarded by dressmak-
ers. tailors or the public. 1t is In this
garment that fashion takes its most
serious somersaults. The wrong cut
of skirt puts one more completely
out of the fashion picture than one
likes. Even the stole and the philOSO-
pher among women cannot success
fully stand this test. If u woman cam
not buy a new skirt cut according to
the new pattern. she will cook up some
scheme in the sewing room by which
an old skirt can be let out or drawn in.
The voice of the prophet was lifted
early in the winter. foretelling the in
coming of narrow skirts in the early
spring, but few listened. The dress
makers shrugged their shoulders. the
ready-to-wear manufacturers kept on
making skirts with four and five yards

In lesser sense, the significance of a
