Advice to the LovelOrn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
You We're Generous

Dear Miss Fairfax:

a man three years my senior. On
his birthday / gave him with the
knowledge of my parents) a pres
ent. Did I do wrong in giving him
this little gift, pair of gold cuff
buttons? NJ. A.
Don't worry about your own gem
erosity in the matter of birthday
gift. A boy of fine feelings cam
not help appreciating the fact that
you gave without calculating
whether you were in his debt or
not. What you did was free from
any mercenary spirit and surely can
not be considered forward or bold
in the light of the question you
were asked and the honest answer
you made. I have an idea that the
young man is rather seriously inter-
ested in you but that he agrees with
your own sensible attitude and
recognizes the wisdom of letting
time prove the seriousness of the
attachment between you. Just go
on as you have done before. There
is no need for selfconsciousness or
regret

he restored to the supremacy it once
held, and recalls the launching at New
York, just 100 years ago, of the first
transatlantic liner to be operated by
steam power. She was the famous Sa-
vannah, a vessel of $50 tons. The
crank who thought it was possible for
a ship to cross the Atlantic by steam
power was William Scarborough of Sa.
vannah. The Savannah left New
York for the home city of her builder
on April 10, 1919. and little more
than month later cleared for Liver
pool, where she was given rousing
welcome, as the first steam vessel to
cross the ocean. The trip was made
in four days less than a month. From
Liverpool the Savannah proceeded to
st. Petersburg, and in December, 1919,
she was again in her home port.-New
