HAPPILY MARRIED.
They Work In the Same office.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a young man OF twenty-five
and recently went to work in law
office. There is a young woman
also working there with whom am
desperately in love. She just re-
CARDS me as a friend, and 1t makes
my heart ache when I think of other
fellows enjoying her society while
am denied it. A few days ago We
had a little misunderstanding over
some work and unconseiously hurt

Propinquity is the greatest ally
that any man or woman can have
in a love affair and / am sure
with this tremendous advantage in
your favor, it is not necessary for
me to tell you what to do and say.
Help her along in her work instead
of doing things to make her cry,
is one sovereign piece of advice.
What Shall the Groom WearR
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am going to be married this
summer. and though ridiculous as
it may seem for one who is nearly
thirty years OF age. must confess
my ignorance OF the proper clothes
pertaining to a wedding. So 1 ask
you please to give me some infor-
nation throUTH your column. The
marriage is to be a quiet affair
either at the home OF the bride or
the residence OF the minister and in
the presence of only a few rela-
tives and close friends.
What would be the proper attire
for such an occasion, also at what
point in the ceremony is the ring
given to the bride?
S.H.
The groom's costume will depend
on the wedding gown of the bride.
II she is married in formal we'd
ding clothes, white gown, veil and
wreath the groom should wear
formal afternoon dress for a morn
ing wedding. That is, black cut
away coat, gray trousers, light tie,
but if she is married in her "going
away gown" a business suit will
be proper for the groom.

Salvation Army Corner

Before any Of the enlisted men,
and nine-tenths Of the officers, who
fought in the American uniform In
France, were born, the Salvation
Army in 81 countries and colonies
was supporting work incident to the
following:
1. Stun Settlements.
2. Rescue Homes.
8. Maternity Hospitals.
4. Industrial Homes.
5. Employment Bureaus.
6. Children's Homes.
z. Fresh Air Camps in country
districts and many other forms Of
organized work for good.

has been described as showing that

Left At Home Evenings.

Left At Home Evenings.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ wrote to you once before to re-
lieve my mind, today l am writing
for advice. Ny husband attends
dances in the evenings, but l can
not 20 with him as l expect to have
a baby in the autumn. Some OF the
girls attending these dances tell
me he has no right to leave me- ana
that / ought to make him stay AT
home with me. This l do not care
to do, as think his evenings would
be dull, especially II we quarreleu
before he decided to stay nome
BUT what I am worried over Is,
after the baby comes, / want 10 go
about with my husband again, ana
still / would not like to leave the
baby until midnight. And II l
stay with the baby until II Is ABOUT
three years old, my husband Will
not want me. l will be ON the
shelf" Ny husband is good to me
and 1 love him dearly. 5. I. y: +.
Yopr attitude in not demanding
that YOUR husband remain at home
with YOU is verv conslderate ana
unseIfsh. and it would seem ne
ought to be equally kindly, ana
stay in sometimes without being
asked. No woman in your condl-
ton should be left alone evening
after evening, even if she does not
complain. 1t is not good for her,
or for the baby, for the mother TO
feel sorry for herself, and this Is
ant to be the case under the cir
cum. tsnces.
Bfer the baby comes l do not
believe YOU will want to leave 1t
MANY evenings even for the pur-
uoee of going to dances with your
husband. But if you do, be sure
of the character of the temporary
nurse, as it is so easy TO give
baby something to make it sleep
which would probably seriously IN
lure it in after life.

Here is an opportunity for everybody in the United
States to be glad and proud
The one city in which we are all interested, in which
we all have part has again established record which if
it does not beat the whole country close to doing
it that other claimants will have hard time proving
supremacy.
No city will be jealous of this attainment for it is
Washington the Capital of the whole county, that stands
as it should, at the top.
In every one of the war loans the Capital City has over
subscribed the quota assigned to it.
this latest appeal its financial patriotism it has
exceeded its assignment by than Is per cent heapn
up total subscription of $26OOOOOO which more
than s. 100000 than it asked to do
Since this was done in YOUR Capital, you may be
interested in some of the details of the figures.
There are approximately 100000 people in Washington
Nearly $4,000 of them subscribed to Victory bonds One
in three buyer and the average per capita subscrp
ton for the whole population was S65.
If the rest of the country had equaed this record there
would have been total subscription of than seven
billion dollars
This record is not alone for the fifth loan. Every
previous loan oversubscbed in about the same pro-
portion.
These details would regarding any other city, be only
locally interesting Of the Capital of the country they
should gain the admiration of every citizen in it.
Particularly is this record deserving of your pride when
you learn for very likely you do not know it, that not one
of these subscribers to these bonds has word to say to
the way the money raised by them shall be expended
The people of the Capital of the country politically
dumb.
Along with criminals Indians and idiots, they have no
vote.
They have no representation in either branch of Con-
gress
They have no voice to who shall conduct either the
national the local government
They are political nonentities.
That part of the population which works for the Gov
has not had revision of its wage schedule for
than fifty years
What would you think if you working for the same
pay that your father got in 1869?
There is an effort being made in Washington to gain
some sort of representation in Congress
whole country.
Your Congressman and your Senator may be called
upon the present session to vote upon whether such
representation shall be granted
It would be worthy thing for you to do if you should
write him letter and ask him if he doesn't think that the
people who have made wonderful record in supporting
the Government financially should be given chance to
participate in its conduct to the extent of having the
Kind of vote that other human beings in America have
But whether you do not you should at least take
satisfaction the fact that the Capital of the nation has
five times demonstrated its financial patriotism in excess of
any other city in the country
