a pass.
Now my dear Miss Fairfax, do
you really think he cares for me,
/ an sure he loved me before he
left for France. Thanking you for
your kind advice,
BETTY.
am afraid that you are in
clined to be a little distrustful
and lacking in faith, my dear
Betty. 1t is often possible for a
soldier to get a pass for a few
hours, but it isn't possible to get
one for several days, which your
soldier boy would require to come
to Washington to see you. Try and
have little more faith.

He Picked Up q French Girl.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have just returned from France
after having served eighteen
months with the American expedi-
tienary forces. While overseas l
picked up a little French. enough
to get along with the French girls.
After the armistice was signed we
moved down to the front to a pref
ty little village, where there was a
lot Of nice French girls, some very
good looking. There l got &C
quainted with a nice little French
girl, who wanted to marry me, so
she could come to America to live.
love her, and yet l didn't love
her enough to marry her and bring
her back to the United states with
me. had a feeling that l ought
to marry an American girl, and
good many other OF our boys felt
the same way.
But at the present time l have
not been fortunate enough to run
across any real good grille. DO
you, or can you. advise me where
! could meet GONE good American
girls?
! think the French girls appre
ciate what we have done for them
over there a great deal more than
the average American girl does.
may be wrong. but that is my idea.
AN EX-YANK.
Your letter sounds to me as II
you cared more about the little
French girl who was willing to
mary you than you realized at
the time. And perhaps it would
have been an ideal marriage. No,
l do not think that people Of the
same nationality are compelled TO
marry. The success of the ar
rangement depends on the indi-
vidual rather than on his or her
nationality. You ought to be
able to become acquainted with
numbers of your own country
women in some of the various
War Camp Community centers.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am young girl nineteen years
old and am engaged to a young man
who has just returned from over
seas. He is stationed in New York,
where his home is, and he has had
a pass to see his folks quite often.
But in the letters | receive from
him he tells me he has been trying
to get a pass to come to see me.

to come, as he wrote me again to-

ZAP MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAlhtAA.
am just nineteen and am going
with a young man two years older
than / am. He has asked me to
marry him, but as yet ] have not
given him my answer. He is very
good looking and seems different
from other boys. does not talk
much. but is well informed on al
most any subject. He is an artist,
paints well. and from his manners
must come from a good family. He
is a clean-cut young man, l believe
smokes occasionally. although never
in my company. He has just been
discharged from the army and has a
position, but l do not think he
makes. large salary, is not much
of a spender. Would 1 be making a
mistake in marrying this young
man even though he is poor. or
should ! walt until some one comes
along who has more money.

Snys II Ii Her Fault.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


L am in love with a young man
who has asked me to marry him.
But we differ on many subject.
Lately we have quarreled, and he
has stopped coming to see me.
have found out, however, that the
fault was mine and he has just
cause for his anger. but my friends
tell me if / apologize to him, as l
think I should, he will never care
the same for me, because l have
humbled myself before him. Now.
Miss Fairfax, although he is hurt
and angry. l know he still loves
me, and | am worried and ashamed
and would consider your advice in
valuable, as ! am an orphan ami
have no one else to consult.
LAURA.
If you feel you were entirely
to blame, my dear Laura, the
proper thing for you to do is to
write nice little self-respecting
note, not too humble, however, tell
the young man that you realize
that you were at fault and ask
him to come and see you.

Southwest Washington has not a
warehouse for the distribution OF
army supplies as well as other sec
tons of Washington?
Appropriations also have been
made for the rebuilding Of the streets
of other sections of the city whereas
southwest, which needs 1t the most
has nothing done whatever.
The people Of southwest pay taxes
as well as other sections Of Wash
ington, but when it comes to giving
southwest a boost, why we're left
in the cold.
Give us the same fair treatment as
other sections Of Washington.
The only trouble in S. ". is that
there is no one here to put up a
battle for their rights.
/ know The Washington Times Is
a fair paper and would like to see
you give S. ". a boost.

MRS. WARREN NORRIS offers
in evidence the list Of lot Of things
she sent to a laundry and then tried
to get back. The laundry refused to
give them up without completing
the job and charged her $3.50 for
the stuff-an outrageous price.
People that patronize certain laun-
dries will surely be stung.
Not everyone agrees with the
contention that street cars should be
operated without tenders. The Pub
lie Utilities Commission has allow
ed the companies to experiment with
cars minus tenders, and ! have a
note from GEORGE W. COMBS on
the subject. He says:
"The matter of OUR Public Utill-
ties Commission granting the street
railway companies permission to re-
move the tenders from the cars is
of vital Importance to the people Of
this city, and / am sure there are
many citizens who would like to be
informed as to the reason for re-
moving devices from the cars de-
signed to protect the public from
accidents. What were the commits
sion's objects in granting this re-
quest ,"
George sends me this clipping,
which indicates that in this case a
fender saved a life:
Miss Margaret Robey, eighteen
years old, narrowly escaped
death yesterday when knocked
down by a street car on New
York avenue between 14th and
18th streets. She was rolled
along the tracks a short dis
lance, her handbag being cut
from her hand and its contents
ruined.
The motorman stopped the car
as soon as possible and assisted
in taking Miss Robey from be-
meath the FENDER. She re-
ceived cuts and bruises, but
would not 90 to a hospital. She
was taken to her home at 1923
