DEAR MISS FAIRFAX.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been going about with
a girl three years my senior. I
have taken her several times to
dances and each time she has
completely ignored me TO dance
with men older than myself. The
last time I took her TO a dance,
/ asked her for the first dance,
and while I was waiting for her
reply, she turned her back on me
and walked away, and danced
with another man. I would like
TO have your advice on this mat
ter. Francis.
The only possible advice I can give
you is TO stop at once your present
role Of what slangy folks call easy
mark" Decency and courtesy de-
mand that a girl give her escort her
first and last dance and one or two
in between This girl evidently is
not popular and attractive enough %
secure invitations to. dances other
than your own, so she takes advan-
tage Of your fondness for her. permits
you the doubtful honor OF escortine
her 10 parties and then makes q
laughing stock Of you by turning her
back on you and amusing herself witt
men who are willing to dance witt
her once she comes TO the festivities
but who wouldn't spend time, energ1
OF money in taking her TO them. Jus
drop her-She really isn't worthy o.
another friendly thought from you.
