DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

man 29 who wants to marry me, and
who Is in a position 10 support wife
and home. l have known this young
man all my life. He is a sober, in
dustrious young fellow, with three or
four thousand dollars 10 mis- credit in
the bank, and is very anxious TO
marry, as he Is also an orphan with
out home. HiI salary is s45 per
week. Ny friends all say l am very
foolish to let a good thing like this
slip by. ! have a number Of young
men friends but none able to support
a wife. In Washington, at the pres
ent time, IS young man who also
wants to rdarry me, but is no way
able to support wife. NJ. II.
My dear girl. you seem to have
wholly overlooked the fact that the
most important thing in marriage is
love, and not prospects. If you are
in love with the young man who
sounds so promising, by all means
marry him, but don't think of it
II you don't really love him. make
this suggestion because your letter
does not contain one word as to
your feelings. only what these
young men could and could not do
for you. Let your heart decide this
question.

For the Child at Play

all scant- Buttons and buttonholes
are found more comfortable than
elastic, which is prone to bind the
youngsters when playing.
For the small boy there IL an
adorable smock and knickers mas
culine enough to suit the most fas-
tidious little lad. The over-blouse
to be smart must be simple and
have good lines. That is why these
little smocks for boys are among
the leading models. Truly French
in type, they are copied from the
peasant blouse, so much worn by
the French children. OF course, the
smock is provided with big patch
pockets, for what small son would
be happy without pockets? Straight
Knockers are worn with the over
blouse, and are usually of a differ
ent color. These Combination"
suits offer a splendid suggestion for
utilizing remnants or short lengths
OF material.
For the hours spent in the spring
garden there are cunning overalIs
Of blue or khaki galatea copied di-
rectly from "daddy's" overalls. They
are we'll tailored with strong nat
seams and shoulder straps that
cross in the back. A shirt with
low collar and short sleeves accom-
panies the oyeralls.
Beach hats for boys are simple to
make IL one follows a pattern.
Either white duck or blue cham
bray may be used. and the seams
carefully finished to insure safe re-
turps from the frequent tubbings
necessary during the warm days Of
summer.

Thirty Years Older.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX.
I am seventeen, attend High School
While riding in the subway recently
I was given a seat by a gentleman
who started a conversation with me-
We have become firm friends
friendship has ripened into love and
he has since given me a very valu-
able diamond ring. My friends, how
ever. disapprove OF him as he is thirty
years my senior. AS I am alone in
the world, with no relative to guide
me. should appreciate your advice
in the matter. DO you think he is
sincere? G. b.
The difference you mention in
your ages is so great as to make
the idea of happiness extremely
risky. / should not be too eager to
marry this middle-aged man who has
given you the very valuable dia-
mond ring. and l should be guided
by the advice OF my friends in re-
ceiving attention from him. You
should proceed very cautiously in
this affair.

'If you are to be a gentleman. as
suppose you'll be,
You'll neither laugh nor smile for a
tickling Of the knee"
nUSS JUNIOR tried his best, but
he couldn't keep from laugh
ing. And then the little girl
laughed. too. She was the same
little girl who had written him the
"sneezing letter" for Wednesday.
She and Puss Junior were great
friends. Indeed, he had spent al
ready two days at her house, for
her mother liked him. OF course,
she did. for everybody liked him,
I'm sure. And 1 guess If you had
met him, you'd like him even more
I'm not going TO tell whether I
have or not; but you can see for
yourself that I know a lot about
him. Maybe he told me some of his
adventures
But all nice visits must come to
an end, and so. of course, Puss
Junior had to say good-by. The lit
tie girl cried, which made him very
sorry, but her mother gave him q
little ring, which made him very
glad, and off he went upon his jour
ney.
He whistled a gay little tune
and swung his paws, for he felt
very fine, did Puss in Boots, Junior,
the great traveller. And pretty soon
he came across a funny sight:
There was a piper had a COW,
And he had naught to give her;
He pulled out his pipe and played
her a tune.
And babe the cow consider.
The COW considered very we'll
And gave the piper a penny,
And bade him play the other tune

cried Puss Junior. ct know the
farmer over yonder. Bring your COW
along, and she shall have a good
meal, and you may spend your
penny in the farm kitchen; the
doughnuts there are fine, for have

looked very grateful and in a short
time she and the piper were eating
away to their hearts content, while
Puss went merrily on his way.

But doesn't that add consider

asked.
We'll, I wouldn't say consider

Take that. order Mrs. Binns gave
US just now. She ordered about 50
worth. Besides, the cents she
paid for the call there Is no add
tional charge. The order Is bulky
and had she come to the market she
would have had to have 1t delivered

For several hours I listened to the
calls. They varied greatly. One

newspapers about children who are
burned to death or are victims Of
some other serious accident while
left alone and unmatched.
Women in delicate health, old or
enfeebled women. many, many of
whom keep house, find the tele-

dealers add several pennies to the
price Of the commodities and give
you the worst of the bargains at

What then? In every neighbor-
hood there are some women inter

wives. Any woman might appoint
herself a committee of one and seek
out dealers who have two prices
one for those who shop in person
and the other for the telephone
users. A weeks boycotting of these
duplex price merchants would have
the desired results.
There are merchants in every
town, however, who are beyond
question as to their honesty in
business. These men should be
encouraged by patronizing them.
In my own neighborhood, I have
found such a man.
Round steak or -four or bananas

Fable of Fair Ermyntrude.
By Aline Michaelis.

NNCE there was a little happer
and her name was Ermyn-
- trude, when a babe, no nurse
might slap her; mother thought
such acts were rude. She was al
ways rather quiet, she was always
sweet and good. they were careful
OF her diet, paSteuriZing all her
food. They were careful in select
ing playmates for the little elf,
all unwelcome ones rejecting with
the cry: GO, chase yourself!"
They were careful OF the college
which should shape her growing
mind: they were careful OF her
knowledge, expurgated and refined.
They were careful she be finished
at a school where paught was
crude. Tho their bank account di-
minished. they staked all on En-
myptrUde. When her debut they
were planning. they were careful
whom she'd meet; all the common
hoboes canning, picking swells and
guys elite. Said her mother: Soon
my daughter will by lords and
dukes be wooed. and I think she
surely ought to be the Lady Err
myntrude." So it CHANGED that
Baron Blummer met the f1apper at
a tea, and said he: "You are a hum
mer. Won't you say you'll marry
me?" But the baron's tie was yell
low and the fact her dreams pur-
sued, so. Of course, that sort OF fell
low would not do for Ermyntrude.
But she met a DO soon after who
was just a perfect chap, and she
liked his style Of laughter and she
liked his cheerful map. On the day
their troth was plighted. many
friends the nuptials viewed. muir
mUring: we are delighted. he just
suits dear Ermyntrude." They were
happy. truly mated. and the papers
failed to say that the groom was
just an ordinary chap Of everyday.
