Advice to the Lovelorn
BY Beatrice Fairfax
MUTUAL ATTRACTION
- ~0T--

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX
Recently at a ball given by my
club l was introduced to a young
lady, who was my dancing partner
for the entire evening. After the
dance, on our way home I took her
to an ice cream parlor, after which
1 brought her home.
Now my friends are telling me l
acted like a fool in giving attention
to young lady whom 1 only knew
for so short a time. Please tell me
the proper way should have acted.
There is nothing wrong or i'm
proper in your conduct. You and this
girl liked each other and enjoyed
your evening together. You were
properly introduced to her and prob
ably found in her things TO admire.
She too, liked you and so you devot-
ed yourselves to each other. OF
course, il was a bit conspicuous and
it gave your friends a chance for
teasing. 1t might even have been in
better taste if you had parted occa-
sionally. l suppose there were girls
at the dance to whom you owed the
courtesy of a little attention, and
she in turn, must have been sighting
friends for you. Next time you might
curb your enthusiasm a little. But
don't worry about an honest attrac-
tion and the sincere way you show
ed il.

Safety Fence Built by
Railroad Reduces Values
By McManus

Sunbury, Pa, March 21.-Record
of the sale of the Gresh Hotel in
Milton by Willis w. Rishel to Mich
ael Szutowicz for $4,000 was made
in Recorder Carr's office here to-
day. 1t shows what a little fence
can do to real estate values. Eight
years ago the hotel, which is di-
rectly opposite the Pennsylvania
railroad station, was considered one
of the most valuable hotel standt
in Milton. Then man was killed
as he came out of it, running to
catch a train. The railroad imme-
diately built a fence so long that II
meant a five-minute Wlk to get
there and back to the station, and
trade fell off.

you are giving him a little encour-
agement. for he is very lonely. 1t

thoughtlessness, were to add to his

An Authoritative Tone
HE is so sure of Dora, and she is
so sure of him, that they defy con-
ventionalities. Neither her father nor
myself intends to allow it any
longer"
There was an authoritative ring in
the last sentence that made the list
cner appreciate that here was mas
terful woman who would have her
own way in spite of heartaches or
heartbreaks.
And was she not right? Cynthia
argued. If Dora was unhappy be-
cause of a thoughtless action on the
part of her betrothed, should not the
parent resent such action? Cynthia
had to admit that Dora's behavior
last night tended to justify her
mothers theory that the girl was
made uncomfortable by Millions ap-
parent neglect. The fault was as
much Cynthia's as Millions. Here
after she must not permit him. to
show her even the smallest atten-
tion.
Her heart contracted with pain as
she made this resolve. The pain it
self warned her that she must be on
her guard.
Then she remembered Gerald Stew
art and what her aunt had said of
him. Mrs. Livingstone must be mis-
taken. The man was lonely. but not
in love with girl whom he scarcely
knew.

This Is Not Love

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am eighteen and my husband-to-
be is twenty-one. He is stationed at
Admission and expects to move
shortly.
He insists that we be married be-
fore he leaves. / do not know wheth-
er 1 should do this or not as l am
going about with several young men
who admire me greatly. Will you
kindly advise me in this? 1 love the
young man at Admission, but do not
want TO give up the others.
P. V. H.
OF course you must not marry
him, for you do not love the young
man at Admission" at all. You like
him and he fascinates you a bit. But
you do not love him or you would
not be worrying about giving up your
admirers. Your letter is typewriter,
evidently you are a stenographer,
but you are not trained or educated
to that position, and the whole tone
of your letter shows me that you are
equally unprepared for marriage.
You two are children and not fit for
the great adventure of married life,
because it is not adventure as you
think it. but life's deepest and most
sacred experience.
