Answers to Correspondents

Your own heart must decide this
question. Marry the man you think
would make the better companion
for a lifetime. Sit down by yourself
and figure out which man means
the more to you and which has
made you the happier. Ask your
self which interests you more-the
prospect Of seeing and spending
an evening with the Marine or
with the man Of thirty-one. The
question Of whether you are treat
ing him wrong or not ought never
to come up for consideration.
There is no greater wrong you
could do him than to marry him

greater wrong you could do your

Beatrice Fairfax Writes the Problems and Pitfalls
Especially For Washington Women
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Before my marriage to a promi-
nent business man about town, 1
had the reputation of being quite
q good sport among men. and one
OF them. a young doctor, whom I
knew well and who makes frequent
visits to our house, being a friend
Of my husbands, who IL forever
reminding me of my past, and try
ing to take advantage of me.
II he meets me on the street its
always with the following greet
ing. Hello kid. getting so proud
and proper now that you've mar
ried, eh."
This man worries me to death and
really makes me feel as IL there is
no use in trying to be good II
you've once been bad--and still to
husband. Is there anything / can
do to relieve the situation and what
do you think of q man who just
tries to make a woman's life miser-
able by prosecuting her in this man.
mar. HELENE.
It takes all kinds Of people to
make up the world and unfor-
tunately there are too many like
the doctor. Under the circum-
stances, / see nothing to do ex-
cept to avoid him as much as pos
sible and be dignified and aloof
when you do have to meet him.
There are some men to whom
an appeal might have some effect.
Why not ask him to be a good
fellow and refrain from referring
to things that are past. He may
have a spark of decency left
which will respond. Don't ever
doubt that there is "any use in try
ing to be good" Stick it out il
only for the sake of the good man
who married you and is treating
you so we'll.

they have determined to marry her
to wealth. The girl has different

love. She does not admit she loves

she knows OF. ] know she does
love and will not give in. am
not making enough to give her the
home she is accustomed to and she
is willing to work and help. Would
you advise her to listen to her peo-

About two years ago at the General
Postoffice the clerks started Co
operative store for the purpose OF
buying groceries and provisions; the
heads OF the movement stated that
each clerk would be assessed 81 to
begin business with the understand
ing that if any additional money was
needed an additional so cents would
be called from each member. This
so cents was called for early In the
year 1918 and since then nothing
more about assessment was said fol-
one year and a half. A short time
ago, Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Blakesly took the presidency
and as a result last week word went
