There is a big difference between
giving a reason while an act of obedi-

regular policy. If you care to state
reason before the act you should
state it before issuing your command.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

I have known a girl for years. She
nursed me when I was i'll. looked out
for my welfare in every way. But she
could hardly ever give me any time
and 1 worked by day. So 1 saw her
only once a week. One day while at
friends house I met another girl
l had known about six years. took
her home that evening and asked her
if 1 could see her some evening, as
l was lonesome and she was lone
some. too. Our meetings continued
for one year. and the other girl found
out and was upset about it and told
me I had broken her heart. Well,
made an honest confession of it ALL
and she was willing to forgive and
take me back. and she was patient
and kind as ever. But, Miss Fairfax,

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
DON'T SHIRK

DON'T SHlHh
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have known a young man about
two years, who used to call on me
quite often, until one day he proposed
to me, but 1 could not accept, as
was not in love with him. I have ex-
planned to him that we could be no
more than friends, and have advised
him not to call on me any more and
to forget about me. He stopped for
while. but about a month ago told
me that he cannot live without me,
and insisted on calling at my home,
although on several occasions I was
out, as 1 did not care to meet him.
1t turned out to be a very serious
matter. as he still keeps on calling
up almost every day, comes to the
house without invitations and insists
on seeing me. AS he is a very fine
feelings. although am afraid / will
have to. l am afraid of the conse-
quences, If I tell him plainly that he
cannot call and see me any more.
l have just found out that he is
about to take a room in the same
house where we were stopping for
the summer, and I have spent sleep
less nights ever since that time.

Don't shirk your plain duty which
is to be honest with the man who
loves you-as you say-"in vain" Pos
sibly your very anxiety about his feel
ings, means that you really care for
are convinced that you want to get
rid of him I assure you you will be
able to do so. The point is that you
are uncertain and he feels it.
