Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ am young girl IS years of age.
Have quite a few friends of both
sex. When out | am very quiet. |
cannot make myself friendly, of
course, the boys always take to the
girls who are lively, and l am sort
of side number.
l am seeking advice how to over
come this quiet disposition, for sure
ly I do not like it.
they would take me out on different
occasions, but they think that l will
refuse them, which / would not do.
Now, to overcome this bashful way of
mine. l am asking you what to do.
Hoping to receive good instruction,
am, -
Bashful: Don't worry about your
disposition; it takes many kinds of
people to make world, and a. quiet
disposition is as much to be desired
as a more lively one. There are many
people to whom such a disposition as
yours would appeal far more than
would that of your more lively COM
panions. Remember. it is better al
ways to be your own natural self
than to initiate someone who in your
eyes posses a more attractive per-
sonality.
on the other hand. cultivate a
pleasant disposition, without assum-
ing a hilarfty you don't feel. BE
pleasant and amiable to those whom
YOU meet. To overcome your BASH
fulness with boys. make efforts to be
friendly with them when you meet
them. Don't make unladylike efforts
TO attract their attention. 1t is en-
tirely permissible to invite to your
home, with the permission of your
parents, any boy with whom you are
acquainted. and whose attention you
wish to cultivate.
DEAR BEATRICE FAIRFAX:
I am a girl 81 years old, and there
are two young men that say they
love me and both of them asked me to
get married The one is a soldier.
and love him very much, but he does
not seem to care to like Ihe as much
as the other one, and he also does not
care for work. But the other young
man has good job and is willing
to work and he seems to care for me

What on earth are you fussing
about in there? Helen looked up,
flushing sensitively. "Oh, Warren, l
don't like this hat"
Thought you were crazy about 1t
when you got it."
Il liked it we'll enough; you see,
] bought it for just a little hat to
begin the season and L didn't want
to pay much for it. / liked the
shape of it, but they are so common
now that / have had ii changed q
little bit, and now don't like it at
all"
We'll. put on your things and
come on down town. Well get u
decent one and pay n decent price
for it, and then there will be no
more worrying"
But, Warren" Helen began.
Now don't begin a lot of reasons
why you don't want to do it. | get
so tired of this foolishnesS. You
get a cheap hat, and then, before the
season is even begun. you have TO
buy others because everyone is seen
wearing the same kind of hat. If
YOU paid enough in the beginning
for an exclusive model You would
find that YOU would get some wear
out of your hats"
obediently got into her things. put
on the despised hat and meekly fol-
lowed Warren down town. 1t was
saturday afternoon and the sun was
shining brightly. Helen felt happy,
and showed it in her manner, which
Warren did not encourage. He was
bound on an errand he did not fancy
overmuch, and he would wait until
he had done his duty before he en-
joyed his afternoon.
Where do you want to go?" he
asked when they reached the shop
ping district.
II don't know, dear, any of the
stores.'
mo, not any of the stores, either.
Well go to a really nice place, as
| said, and pay a good price for The
hat, and for once I'll select it. You
can have that thing you have on
sent home and wear the new one"
They were passing a little French
shop as they spoke that Helen knew
to be very expensive.
Come on, let's see what they have
in here"
NO. Warren, I've never been in
the place: they charge terrible
prices"
There you go trying to throw
cold water on the first shop I hap
pen to select. Come on in and see
what they have. If you're going to
try my plan of paying more for Il
hat and not having so many, then
don't begin TO argue the first thing
"All right, Warren" Helen re-
sponded, and followed him into the
tiny gray enameled shop without
another word. A tall gray-haired
woman came forward to wait on
them, and Warren exclaimed curtly
that they want hat.

Miss WII.sON TO SAu,

Cape May, n. j., March 16.-Miss
Margaret Wilson, daughter of the
President, who has been here for
three days visiting the naval reserve
force cantonments at Wissahickon
Barracks, the naval air station and
the Sewells Point base of the sub
marine patrol station, is going to
France.
That was the statement she made
to the men at Wissahickon Barracks
last night, when she made a brief
talk to them, after her appearance
at a concert. She praised the work
of the French and British soldiers,
but said she expected the American
boys to outdo their allies in defeat
ing the Hun.

Heal Skin Diseases

1t is unnecessary for you to suffer
with eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes
and similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
Sl.O0 for extral large bottle, and prompt
ly applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. 1t cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful penetrating,
disappearing liquid and is soothing to
the most delicate skin. It is not greasy,
is easily applied and costs little. Get
it today and save all further distress.
