DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Your answer will set four
minds at ease. and will probably
bring about a sensible continua-
ton Of friendship.
A has been going to Miss B for
two years seriously. and their en-
EaEement was not to have been
far on. One night Miss b had an
unexpected visit from her chum,
Miss c. while A was present with
her. They spent a pleasant even
ing home. Miss B offered to take
Miss c as far as the station,
meanwhile knowing that her
fance could not convepiently take
the subway to his home. and not
wishing to put him to trouble
unnecessarily.
However, A suggested that he
would walk as far as the subway
with the girls. and since he must
travel by L." would pass Miss
BIS home anyhow. thereby bring
ing her home again.
BY the time farewells had been
spoken, A, noticing how late II
was, asked his nance II she would
mind II he would go home by
subway. Miss B, astonished, said
OF course she would. and that she
never went home alone so late.
He was undecided as to which
course to take, when Miss b de-
clared that she wouldn't go home
With him II he wanted her to. and
wAnted nothing else to do with
him.
Meantime Miss C went into q
train with A. and when her sta
tion came, he offered to take her
home, which she accepted. She
called her friend. Miss B. up the
next day to tell her SO. where
upon Miss B said II didn't matter
to her. that she doesn't care any
thing for A. and that she notified
him of her feelings.
