Indifferent or ShyB
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am in a position to marry a girl
with whom am deeply in love. but
yet I hesitate to ask her because
do not know whether she loves me
enough or not. When We are alone
together she acts in every way as
though she is deeply in love with
me, but as soon as we meet an
other person or group OF people we
know she gives her whole attention
to them. Even when I am at her
family or a visitor, she talks to
them the whole time of their stay
and not once does she listen to me,
but as soon as they go she is all
right again. Now, / do not think
could be happy with her unless she
changed, but would appreciate your
advice. NJ. NJ. G.
The apparent indifference of
your sweetheart toward you when
others are around may only indi-
cate an excessive shyness and fear
that others may discover her Xix
ing for you, and as you have de-
layed to make known to her the
true state of your heart she may
be over-anxious to conceal her
real feelings before others. Why
not tell her frankly that you love
her and 1 think you will find that
she can make you happy yet

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

spoken to me about this. and I have
tried to talk to him about It, but it
seems as though IL were all in vain.

two years, and he tells me that he
loves me.
Should 1 continue our friendship
IL he doesn't seek employment?
A DOWN-HEARTED GIRL
l sympathize deeply with your
misfortune in having fallen in love
with a young man whose sole &C.
cupation is reading the funny
pages, and if you have already
tried in vain to persuade him to
interest himself in some kind of
work, l should think your only
course was to fall out of love
again as best you can. Or if you
make it plain to him that you
can't allow yourself to be engaged
to anyone so idle and purposeless,
perhaps that will be a more effec-
tive spur than any you have 50
far emplo-ed.

will see you as often as he can,
and try to be content. / think you
are very wise to wait until he has
finished his college course, and es-
tablished himself in business, be-
fore thinking of marriage. He
should be reasonable, however,
about your giving up all amuse-
ments because he cannot act as
your escort on all occasions.

Growing Indifferent.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been going with a young
man for three years. He is very
attractive as well as talented, and
l have learned to care for him very
much. But the last Eve months he
has acted Indifferent toward me and
also broke a date with me. II he
cared for me do you think he would
act in this way? And would it be
proper for me to go back with him?
D. SIX.
You do not state whether you
are engaged to the young man. II
you are, it would be perfectly
proper for you to ask the reason
of his indifference and changed at
titude toward you. II you are not,
l think you would only subject
yourself to further heartache by
endeavoring to win back his ap-
parently waning affection. If he
does care for you he would scarce
ly treat you with such indifference.

HOUSEWIVES WILL HAVE
CLEAN RAISINS IF THEY
BUY "SUN- MAID" BRAND

Sims & Woodson, state representa-
tives for the California Associated
Raisin company, packers of the we'll
known advertised brand of n-Maid
Raisins," refutes the statement in this
paper yesterday, made by a whole
saler, that owing to last seasons Sc
we're rain storms in California, that
all raisins were rain damaged and
contained sand. While it is true, says
Mr. Sims, the raisin growers suffered
great losses on account of the rain,
the association which comprises fully
80 per cent of the growers, readily
agreed that, in order to keep up the
hign quality of the Sun Maid brand
of raisins, it was necessary to bear an
extra expense of an increased force Of
graders and inspectors. This was done
and Sims & Woodson say and guar
antee to the trade and the consumer
that last years pack of "Sun-Maid'
raisns are absolutely free of sand ana
no rain damaged raisins were packed
under the Sun Maid brand. This is
truly one year, when the housewife
wants the best in raisins, to be sure
when ordering from her groceryman
to insist on the Sun Maid brand.
