DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

AS you give such good advice to
others, / am asking you as favor
to help me. Two years ago l met
a soldier / soon learned to love.
/ thought sure he loved me, until
some little French grille won him.
I went with this boy one year and
We had planned on getting married
on his return from France. His
home is not in Washington, so when
he returned he went to his home.
Until then we were the best of
sweethearts. His people did not
want him TO marry, so they just
talked him out of everything we
had planned. He began to write
me mean letters, saying l had not
been true to him. i could not have
been any truer to him if 1 had been
his wife. He stopped writing to
me, and / have not heard one thing
from him for four months. 1t is al
most driving me wild. / lose sleep
from worrying about him at night.
My people tell me to go out with
other men and forget him. / have
tried it. but his face haunts me the
whole time / am with others. You
can imagine how I feel about my
lost lover. Would you write to him
and tell him how it makes me feel.
a do you think he has another
girl! LONESOME Q. X. S.
Does it ever occur to women
readers, married and unmarried,
that the only thing that makes any
relationship between any man and
woman worth while is mutual
love? If either one or the other
is disinterested, it is the height of
folly for the other to attempt to
force the continuance of the rela-
tionship. Love affairs, engage
ments, marriages, are all difficult
enough il there Is love on both
sides, and when love doesn't exist
on either side, the other is simply
laying up disappointment heart
ache and sorrow. Pull yourself to-
gether and let pride aave the day,
for although we are taught that
humility is virtue to be achieved,
there is no place for 1t in a wom-
ans love. The day Of the clinging
vine, the dishrag and the door mat
is past and any woman who con-
tinues to seek a man who has dem
onstrated as best he can that he is
no longer interested, is doing her
self the greatest Of injustices.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes of the Problems Workers Here
Especially For Washington Women

writing to you for advice, not only
for my benefit, but for hundreds Of
other men in Washington who /
Know are secretly keeping company
with wives of unsuspicious hus-
bands. Also. Miss Fairfax, express
your opinion of young married
woman who boasts of the fact that
she has a secret lover"
several months ago former
sweetheart of mine embarked upon
tne proVerbial sea of matrimony
since that time she has literally
showered me with affectionate let
ters, and each letter bringing an
urgent request that I secretly meet
her. At first ! ignored her letters,
and ultimately her temptations got
the best of me, and I fell
Since her marriage ] have been
out with her several times, and each
time she expressed her love for me,
but also admitted that she loved
her husband and was happy. like
wise told her that my love for her
would never grow cold. but sincere
iy did not mean this, as I could
never have any respect for a woman
who will deliberately deceive her
husband. who ] have heard is ideal.
Now, her husband has learned Of
our secret meetings and his friends
have intimated that he is contem-
plating instituting divorce proceed
lngs, and that i am to be named the
correspondent. What step should
take? Leave Washington, or face
the penalty? WORRIED.
I'm not at all worried about the
young married women of this city
or the country. I think those who
have a "secret lover" are few and
far between because most of them
are too busy loving and trying to
keep their husbands love to have
any time for the sort Of man who
peaches on another mans sacred
preserves. You really amuse me
with the picture you present of
yourself, a supposedly able-bodied
young man being pursued by this
infatuated youno wife. / fear you
were not running from but toward
her and I've yet to see the woman
who would very long pursue a man
who didn't encourage her. Your
plain duty is to stick around and
help straighten out this affair so
that the Young woman's fair name
will not have suffered because of
YOU. Why not tell the Young hus-
band that you were not interest
ed and that his suspicious are all
a mistake?

word that she would be delighted

You Don't Need to Be Told How Many 'Patrioteers"

Do They Pick On Taxi Drivers!

/ am a constant reader and ad-
mirer of The Times, especially
Heard and Seen" and now, as so
many others have done, turn to you,
to get a word OF truth to The pub
lie.
A Washington policeman says, the
ancient Roman chariot races had
nothing on the taxi races on Massa-
chusetts avenue nortbeasJ, On the
route from the Union Station"
Why doesn't this policeman and
others show a 'itie mere energy
and less partiality, and be as quick
in arresting private car speeders as
in arresting q taxicab speeder? No,
that would never do. The fellow
who whizzes by in the big car would
perhaps cause him trouble But If
the taxi driver, with no speedome.er
to help him, should miss his judg-
ment, he is nabbed; and fined, with
no mercy.
It's an easy job with little exer-
ton for policemen to glide over to
Union Station and arrest q iaxicab
driver and charge him with speeding.
I'm an advocate OF more careful
driving and safer streets, but Why
pick on taxicab drivers?
Yours For Fair Treatment.
A TAXlCAB DRIVER.

What Every Woman Should Have
Some Advice That Politicians Would Do Well to Heed

| Some Advice That Politicians Would Do Well to Heed
Fifteen million women, each with vote will be new
and untried element in the next national election
The question which women leaders are debating is:
Shall this political force have program for itself or
shall it follow, without any self assertion the program
which the politicians of the old parties arrange?"
Fifteen million votes with unanmity are sufficient
to decide any question likely be submitted to popular
opinion It is force which would elect any Presidential
candidate determine any social or industrial policy
Massed would be the determining factor in the
ment of the country
To what purpose will such tremendous power devote
itself?
One Of the first and most Illuminating answers to this
question from the pen Anne Martin and is printed
in the November number of Good Housekeeping.
Miss Martin whose home State is Nevada was the first
woman candidate for the United States Senate She is
graduate OF two American universities and has studied in
half dozen foreign institutions She is student of pol
tics and ardent worker for the rights of women At the
polls
She has written platform the provisions of which are
certain to gain support.
OF her platform, she says: MEN cannot be blamed if
they do not voluntarily accept these and other
issues IN the next Presidential campaign In politics Won
got only what you ask for With fifteen million votes in
our hands we should ask for these
A0o neIe S WnaI sne DeueVeS every woman should do
with the influence Of her vote to make a certainty:
l-Gopernment for maternity INFANCY
2-The abolition of child labor in all States
3-The feeding at public of epery hungry child
NO profeering any necessity of Hfe
5-Equal for equal work dnda q chance at all ;obs
6-CUH service rating the an eaua share
IN gopGnment
The whole pord Just happy as men and uomen uo,k
ing together make it.
Do you think women would vote for candidate stand
ing on that kind of platform?
In one year more than fifteen thousand women in this
country die in childbirth That greater number than l
claimed by tuberculosis between the ages of fifteen and
Only two of the great countries of the world
have 30 high death rate from this cause as the United
States
Do you think would vote for candidate p]edoed
to legislation to better provide for mothers and their
children?
The women of this country buy approximately 30 ner
cent Of the food consumed on its tables
Do not think they will be appealed to bv the marty
which gives them some of making their dollars
more productive?
You can take every plank in Miss Martin platform
and and feel its appeal to the women of the country
and particularly is this true when you have read the illu
minating and persuasive appeal which she has written to
accompany it.
The article in Good Housekeeping one that every
woman with a vote should read-and every man, too
Even the politicians will find its perusal profitable
