An Impatient suItOr.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been reading your advice,
especially for Washington women,
for some time, and I must say have
enjoyed it very much. And now
have a question to ask you. I am
nineteen years OF age. and on the
first day Of this year. 1919, 1 met a
young man three years my senior
whom l must say love, OF this I
am positively sure. Although our
acquaintance has been short, he has
already declared his love for me,
but he has asked something Of me
which l find impossible to grant
him. He is an aviator in our army.
and was sent away last March
remember. did not meet him until
January. Now. last week received
a letter in which he repeats the
same. question, and he says it will
depend on me whether he ever
comes back or not. Now, Miss Fair
fax, l do love him, and don't be-
lieve could live without him, but
l answered his letter and told him
If he cared to come back and wait
a year or two I would give him a
definite reply. I don't feel as il we
have been together enough to
really know whether we are intend
ed for each other or not. Hoping
you will answer me Immediately. il
possible. ANXIOUS HEART.
1t would seem that your position
is entirely reasonable-you want
to know the young aviator a lit
tie longer before you decide to
take him for "better or worse"
think he will agree to this, when
you put the case to him. A great

If he does break with you because
you will not marry him immedi-

the husband for you, after all.

Fire Prevention Week.
A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR

The needs Of the Nation during the
reconstruction period require that all
our financial and material resources De
guarded against waste no less carefully
than in war time. 1t is hoped that the
habits of economy developed under the
stress of war conditions will help to
check the wasteful carelessness which
has manifested itself in this country IN
an annual prevsntsble FIRE loss amount
ing TO nearly two hundred million
dollars.
Just as the public health service is not
satisfied only to cure disease but also
concerns itself actively for the prevention
of disease so the State Insurance De-
partment is undertaking a special cam
paign for the elimination OF preyentaole
fires.
For the purpose OF calling attention 10
this important program | hereby des-
ignate the week beginning Monday,
April 2lst, as Fire Prevention Week.
Unless we can improve upon the
average of preceding years, twenty hive
lives will be lost in Maine this year and
two million dollars in damage occasioned
by fires that are the direct result Of care
lessness in improper construction OF
chimneys, defective connections with
stoves, furnaces and boilers, negligence
in the use of matches and cigar stubs or
storage of hot ashes in improper con-
tanners.
During the week designated ! urge al
citizens to cooperate with the Insurance
Department so that by an effective cam
paign of education large saving in prop
erty and in human life may be made
during the current year.
Dated at the Executive Chamber in the
State House at Augusta this twelfth day

peudence of the United States Of America
