DON'T CONFIDE YOUR


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am twenty, and have taken
quite q fancy to a man of twenty
two. l do not know him personally,
but l expect to be introduced to him
thing l could say to him so he would
know cared for him?
l have a friend who has spoken
to him about me. and he thinks / am
very nice girl. The other night
saw the young man 1 am going to
meet, talking to another girl. From
what l hear, this girl is very jealous
of him. Please tell me how l can
gain his friendship. l have no one
to tell me what to do, as 1 am all
alone. SO l thought you might be kind
/ wish it were possible for me to
talk to you instead of writing, poor
little girl. who has no one to ask for
advice. The first thing I'd tell you
would be that nothing could be more
ill-advised than to tell the young
man, at your first meeting. you CARED
for him. He would probably take to
the tall TIMBER" and who could
blame him.
1t. takes a great deal of skill and
much worldly wisdom for a woman
to tell man, successfully. that she
cares for him, and then-she does
her preference in many little ways.
But to come out and say what you
suggest would be the greatest pos
sible mistake.
When you first meet the young
man talk about everyday things or
listen while he talks to you At the
same time, there is no telling how

-EconomyinBuyi
and Using Meat

Although meatless days are not
1t present a part of the official pro-
gram of the United States Food Ad-
ministration there is still great need
Of intelligent economy both in the
buying and in the use of meat.
Because the larger beef is needed
tor the soldiers, the civilians are
asked to use only the lighter cuts
now.
Since meat is bound to be the most
costly of all foods in these days of
saving, every housekeeper should
become acquainted with the use of
the less expensive cuts. There are
30 many ways of serving these
cheaper cuts. in the form of Ham,
burg steaks, curry balls, kibbee,
stews, ragouts, pot roasts and dishes
with white sauces that the clever
housekeeper can get along quite we'll
without using the more expensive
euts.
The following are two satisfactory
receipts:
Kibbee-Chop uncooked tough
meat very fine, put it twice through
grinder. To each pound, allow a
tablespoon of grated onion, a table
spoon of chopped parsley, a teaspoon
Of salt, just dash of napper. Form
into balls about the size of an egg,
stand in a baking pan. add a half
pint of strained tomatoes. a table
spoon of butter and bake slowly

one of my former letters I once re-

been near a Boche one.
While we are on the subject of
balloons, 1 better tell you that my
commander, Lieut.. Madon, when it
was officially confirmed that 1 had
burned a balloon, congratulated me
heartily, glad to know I had, at
least begun to fulfill his expecta-
tions. But his words of praise were
much fewer than his words of eau
ton. Naturally he knew of the diff
ferent planes had ventilated with

Boche bullets, and the fact seemed
to him to point to recklessness on
my part. Anyway, he cautioned me
never to attack a balloon If l saw
a Boche in the air, and to always
look thoroughly and carefully for
such Boche before attacking. IF
you don't, said he you may per-
haps burn fifteen more and then
he finished the sentence with a ges-
ture of shoulder, eyes and hands so
eloquent of my finish, that 1t left no
doubt as to my next habitation.
Good Advice
That they were good words of
advice I knew we'll, and am quite
willing to follow. 1t did amuse ME
though to see how high an average

fore my guardian angel fell down
on the job. "Allez doucement." he

and 1 thought 1 was ambitious! It's
nothing at all to what my COM
mander expects of me. (No that
French word "doucement" does not
mean "sweetly" in that case. 1t
means slowly)
The fiutist has come back from
permission and we are now suffer-
ing again.
We are near co.'s
now, and since my engine is now un-
dergoing repairs, l went down there

closed before 1 had half the things

One of these times, happily, we
stopped near an orchard. There
were actually some plums on the
trees. The reason ! say actually, is
because of all the orchards I have
seen (and l have seen a LOTT this

fruit. Why, I don't know, unless

golden opportunity up, for do not

About every five miles we would
stop at a roadhouse and they would
imbibe some more cheer out of a
bottle.
What with the four stops for en-
gine trouble we were a long time on
the road, and did not get home un-
til late in the afternoon. When
finally did reach camp, a lieutenant
was waiting for me, and wanted to
know where 1 had been, for 1 had
been listed to fly that morning in
another pilots plane. He was all
primed to ball me out, but didn't
go off when he found out I had
asked for permission from my COM
mander.
Had a letter from Helen Miller,
