More Than Her share.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Perhaps you never heard Of a case
like mine, but I want to tell you.
and want your advice.
am at present keeping company
with four men, all OF whom I like
equally we'll. yet when one comes
l am afraid one OF the others might
turn up. Now. each Of these men
l believe loves me, for they have
told me so. and proved II in many
ways. Each man seems terribly
jealous OF his rivals. Three Of these
men have proposed to me, yet I
have accepted none.
Must / drop them all or must 7
choose one? would hate to lose
their friendship. yet l think 7 am
doing each an injustice in making
each believe he is the only man 1
love.
What shall I do? WORRIED.
You seem 10 have more than
your share of sweethearts, even
for these days when every. Jill
seems to have her Jack, but you
must be an expert indeed in the
affairs OF the heart to be able to
handle a four-in-hand team OF low
ers without disaster overtaking
one or ALL There will be trouble
some day when they get to COM
pairing notes, as | understand men
do sometimes. as each man may
think he has the right to the love
you so successfully distribute You
would most certainly then forfeit
their friendship. Better be honest
and true to yourself and to them
by definitely choosing one and let
re others realize that you desire
only their friendship. You may re-
tain the friendship of the unlueky
ones In this vGy.

An Old Mans Darling.


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Recently I have become quite in
love with an old man of about six
ty-nine years old, and I dare say
that he has proposed to me more
than once. His immense wealth is
very tempting, and ! want you to
advise me as to whether you think
we would be happy. as l am only
eighteen years old. Nm.
Are you really in love with your
elderly lover, my dear girl? Is it
not true that 'his immense wealth"
has cast a glamor over it's owner,
that seems irresistible to young
eighteen. / do not think such dis
parity in your ages could possibly
make for married happiness. And
l fear that you would soon dis
cover that to be an "old mans
darling" might entail sacrifices of
much that a young girl has a
right to enjoy. Do hesitate and
consider very seriously what such
a step would mean to you, and ask
yourself if he had not immense
wealth" would you consider his
proposal for a minute?

is too young and tickle to marry.
What should / do. give him up TO
a so-called war worker or try to
regain his love? DOROTHY.
1t would seem, considering how
young both Of you are, wiser to let
this love affair die a natural
death. You would not want to
marry young man who had grown
to care about some one else and
who had proved himself to be as
tickle as he confesses. Young peo-
pie frequently have several love az
fairs Of this sort before they finally
settle down and marry. Perhaps in
a few months you will smile to
think you could ever have been in
terested in this young man. II you
keep busy and go about with other
young people l am sure you will
speedily forget him.

that which causes so much trouble
in this world-namely women. I

position in the Treasury Depart
ment I go TO a great many public
and private dances and dance well.
But, Miss Fairfax, what has be-
come OF the frank. straightforward
girl who had a smile for all and a
frown for none?
The young men stand in corners
at these public dances and say:
Look at the crowd OF vamps all
dressed up and no place to 60"
The average girl one meets out r.
so abrupt and forward that a man
is almost ashamed to be seen on
the streets with them. Please do

Pessimism at Twenty.

A young man of twenty writes
me a disillusioned and world
weary letter. His chief plant is
that he has been unable to find,
while filling IAN excellent position
in the Treasury Department" one
of those frank, straightforward
girls who had smile for all, and
a frown for none"
He protests that he has not at
present nor has had in the past
any interest in the vampire type
Of woman. In fact, my CORES
pendent has never been in love, his
pessimism is that of an on-looker
at life.
And we earnestly hope he is not
deceiving himself, that he has net
been hit without realizing it,
which sometimes happens as any
doughboy with a wound chevron"
will tell you. In the frenzy of
battle the wound doesn't hurt, but
later there is pain and thirst and
desolation.
Now | am sure a great many
nice girls will sit down, write to
this young man and tell him how
wrong he is "about that cause of
so much trouble-women." But
do not for a moment imagine that
these letters setting him straight
in regard to women and life pen-
orally speaking will be forwarded
to the young man. AS that is one
thing this column declines to do, to

that ] 60 into the movies. where
may show my beauty. Pardon this
writing. KATHERINE.
am afraid that you will not
earnestly appreciate" the advise /
am going to give you, my dear
Katherine. Because no matter
how beautiful you may be-accord-
ing to the verdict Of your mother
and the people next door-it must
be married by the amount of self
consciousness you show in regard
to it. A girl who has nothing to
recommend her but her beauty,
and who thinks about it continual
ly, usually winds up by being a
good deal of a bore. You want
to avoid this fate If possible. Try
and educate yourself, then after
people get over the first shock OF
your beauty, you will still have a
little ammunition in reserve in the
way of education and charm.
