Questions and Answers.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ am a war worker and am in
love with a young man OF whom my
parents think a great deal. He is in
college pursuing a course in den
tistry, and so has to deny me many
pleasures, as he is working his way
through and cannot afford them.
/ have been corresponding with a
girl who Is a very dear friend to
us, and, as l have been told, loved
him also. but has never admitted 1t
to me. Her brother told me that
we were rivals.
love this fellow. and in the
near future we expect to get mar
ried. I also care for the girl, as
We have known each other all Of
cur lives.
Miss Fairfax, please tell me what
TO do, as j don't want to lose
friendship with the girl and / don't
want to give him up. How can
find out il he loves me or my
friend? B.
1t, is beautiful and quite un-
usual to find loyalty and generos-
ity in friendship for another girl
as companions to love for a sweet
heart in the heart Of a young girl.
But | am sure you are unneces-
sarily exercised over the interest
of your friend in your sweetheart.
At least | would wait for some di-
rect confidence of such feeling on
the part of your trusted friend be-
ore | would allow the word of a
third party to destroy my peace
of mind. This willingness to con-
slider sacrifice even in your happy
love. and that you understand the
worth and industry Of your fiance
instead of craving constant ex-
Denditure for your amusement,
show q strength Of character
which should make you the best
sort Of helpmeet in his career.

session in regard to her.
But love-making in the grand
style, love-making that demands
phrases, he knows he could never
think of, dramatic scenes and Sc
rious promises and excessive pro-
testations, and, above all, that
high-handed way of beating down
a woman's more or less faint re-
sistance that he rather f1ippantly
reers to as "cave-man stuff"
frankly, all that isn't in his line.
It's too much to ask of him, he
thinks. Isn't it enough if you ex-
press a wish to marry a girl?
Oughtn't that to content her? Why
need she be coy and evasive? Why
need she hold out for something
that he hasn't got to offer?~
Counterfeiting Love.
Shall he confess that he hasn't
it! Or shall he pretend that he
has? That is, shall he "fake" his
love-making? Or shall he with
draw from the situation alto
gether, and when the time comes
round console himself with a diff
ferent type Of girl?
Frankly, it is a problem.
One can't soberly counsel a
young man of easy-going. unemo-
tional type to counterfeit the
emotions of a cave-man, whatever
they may be, in order to take the
girl he wants to marry by storm.
Doubtless he wouldn't succeed any
way. And deception is a very poor
way Of proving oneself a lover.
The truth is that there isn't anv
shortcut to the heart Of a girl
who wants to be wooed before she
gives her love. So I'm afraid the

or else he will have to wait until
love stirs more profoundly IN
himself.
And when he does really love,
we all know that love-making
won't seem the burden to him that
1t does now, thing to Jest about
and avoid IL one possibly can. All
the suddenly awakened cave

And all he will ask for will be the
opportunity to pursue his swift
and determined wooIng.
Perhaps this will never happen.
Perhaps he will never know the
deepest meaning Of love. In that
case, / hope he may find some girl
who will demand no more than he
can give, and that If their life to-
gether doesn't prove highly inter
esting, 1t will at least be tran

~ oES the mere consciousness
that she is loved content a
woman?
Or does she long to be dorni-
mated and subdued, to be loved
with an insistent and tempestu-
GUS fury? Does she yearn, in
short, for what one Of my Wash
ington correspondents calls the
"cave-man stuff"
It depends upon the woman.
There will always be women
who will be content with a for
NAL wooing, and there will always
be others whose temperaments
will demand that love pursue and
overmaster them.
To my mind, the young lover
who has just written me displays
something more than the usual
masculine insight in guessing
what it is that his sweetheart un-
consciously demands.
81 am a young man of twenty
three" he writes, "and have a
good position and salary on which
/ could easily support a wife and
home. am also in love with a
girl who, l think, loves me. But
when l spoke to her Of marriage,
she evaded the question. We
have been going together for
about two years steady.
"Must / use the 'cave-man stuff
in order to win her? Or give her
up?"
But why give her up, my dear
young man, when you love her
and understand so perfectly what
she wants? Unless perhaps you
are conscious of a defect in
your own temperament. Perhaps
you yourself haven't yet fully
learned what love is.
Women Without Temperament.
There are plenty of women, un-
troubled by what we call tempera-
ment, who are content to lead a
cool, formal, external sort Of life.
They compare their suitors from
the standpoint of prudence. and
they are capable of marrying a
man for whom they have merely
a gentle liking, because they want
to get settled in life. They enjoy
the distinction of being engaged
and the pleasant fuss Of being
married, and they delight in set
ting up the machinery and cere-
monial of housekeeping. And they
expect the lover TO play his part
acceptably in this series OF rites.
But they are quite willing that
he shall express all the emotion
he has through flowers, candy,
and jewelry. They are relieved
IL they find that lovemaking can
be reduced TO a minimum.
Life isn't a drama TO them, or q

song. It's a business that they
want to manage as shrewdly as
possible and with an economical
expenditure of emotional strength.
But this isn't the sort of girl
my correspondent has fallen in
love with.
He has found a girl who is con-
genial mentally, and who is an
entertaining companion, and who
seems to him fair to look upon.
He realizes also that he is of
marrisgeable age and that he has
a comfortable income. He sug-
gests, politely and CONSIDERABLY,
that they establish a domestic
partnership. Perhaps he is just a
little light and casual and Incl
dental in making this suggestion
Of his. because he doesn't wish to
put himself in the position of
being rebuffed.
Why Hasn't He Won Her?
But he doesn't expect the girl
he has chosen to be light also.
That she should decline to discuss
the matter is something he isn't
prepared for. He knows she likes
him, He believes she has good
reason to. What in the world can
be the matter with her? He
gives the matter a good deal Of
thought.
At last a suspicion comes to him.
This girl friend of his isn't like
some other girls he has known.
She has heart. She has emotions.
There is something very real about
her. II she promised to loev a man.
she would mean 1t.
Can 1t be that before she makes
any such promise, she expects to
be made love to?>
To tell the truth, though he be-
lieves himself in love, he shrinks
from love-making. That is, he'd

twice and give her an engagement

rumors reached us of the fall of
