Advice to the Lovelorn
Would Like to Make Some Friends
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Would Like to Make Some Friends
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 would appreciate it greatly if
you would give me few sugges-
tions as to how 1 could meet some
nice young man. I am nineteen and
look twenty-five. but don't construe
this to mean 1 am a prude. l dress
well. can dance, sing, and carry on a
conversation, ! am stenograhper
and am considered very pretty. and
l would be only too glad to entertain
some nice young men in my own
home.
In business I get a great many
invitations to dinner. luncheon and
theater parties, but they are all from
men who 1 know are married and
of course 1 cannot accept them.
I lived for about ten years in a
little town in Vermont. but I re-
ceived most of education here in
New York city, and it seems very
hard to get acquainted with any
real nice folks here in the city.
p. V. S.
have had many letters from
girls similarly situated. and it
is very difficult 20 make helpful
suggestions. Perhaps the best
thing to be done is to quote the ex-
periences of other girls who have
come to New York and have made
good friends and have successfully
taken root.
The most desirable friends are
made in educational work. evening
classes at some center. such as the
Cooper Union and the Y. w. C. A.
The process may be slower than
those made at dancing clubs. but on
the whole the results seem more de-
sirable.

tatoes, peas and an asparagus tip

AS the feast progressed she
reused herself sufficiently to COM

which she approved. but she seemed
dull. heavy and uninspirinS, and
doubtless she had read in some
copybook of childhood that silence

such intelligence as the girl boasted
appeared to be in her toes, for she
danced very we'll indeed.
But as l looked at the heroic

felt as if a society for the preven-
ton of cruelty to soldiers ought to
have been incorporated on the spot,
and some one should have taken
the necessary steps to keep that boy
from squandering seven or eight
dollars on what appeared to be such
n melancholy evening.
He probably knew no one else in
town and suggested a little blowout
to some chance acquaintance, who
took him to the most expensive
restaurant she coudl think of and
appeared to be wholly unaware that
she was doing anything selfish or
greedy.
I believe that a general revival
of the Dutch treat system would
result in better and more whole
some times all around among young
people. And if a dozen girls would
take a stand on this subject and let
it be understood that they do not
expect or desire young men-either
soldiers or civilians-to drain the
last penny in their pockets on them.
believe the result would be emil
nently satisfactory. And just think
what bellies such girls would be-
come.

A GIGANTIC WAR TRUST
1t is not League Of Nations to pre-
vent war. It is league of armed ma
tions in a gigantic war trust. In it's very
creation it has been stripped of every
idealstic purpose It ever had. It con
tains within itself the germs Of many
wars, and worse than that it rivets as
in the Shantung decision. the chains of
tyranny upon millions of people and ce-
ments for all time unjust and wicked
annexations. IT is a great world economic
trust, wherein a few men sitting in Sc
cret may control the economic destinies
Of peoples 1t Is not league of peoples
nor does 1t anywhere concern itself with
peoples whose past wrongs and future
rights were eloquenty portrayed by the
President. II is a trust of existing pres
ent power 1t will never prevent war; it
will sanctfy power in a new, a terrible,
and sinister sense.
This league means that American boys
shall police the world that all the tot
tering nations of the earth shall be
upheld by our blood and our bone; that
Europe, Asia, and Africa may draw up
on us in their every dispute and quarrel
that our nation will be at the mercy of
European and Japanese diplomats who
had and never will have any sympathy
with our aspirations or our ideals that
we with our glorious past shall guaran-
tee the territorial integrity Of every coun-
try on earth and the bondage of every
suffering people in anguish begging for
| freedom; that destroy our Monroe
Doctrine and submit controversies on the
American hemisphere to determina alton
by foreign powers 1t means that | must
abandon the lessons Of youth. which un-
til this moment have been the creed of
lean principles and American patriotism !;
that I must deny the Americanism I
taught my children. and that under Cod
blessing I hope to teach my grandchil-
dren. It means the hating and betrayal
of new world liberalism. the triumph Of
, cynical old world diplomacy, the humili-
alton and end of American idealsm.
| Certain partisan gentlemen have of late
