Fairfax Writes Problems Pitfalls Workers
Especially for Washington Women

A RE you in love with love, or
~ are you in love with young
Mr.. Jones or Miss Robin
son?
The mistake is by no means re-
stricted to the feminine gender,
perhaps you are young man Of
romantic age and are addicted to
reading poetry and thinking unut-
terable thoughts and imagining
yourself to be deeply in love with
Miss Hawkins or Miss Robinson.
But you may be wholly mistaken.
the object Of your tender solicit
tude may not be either of these
young ladies, but love itself. In
fact, you may be in love with love,
which is a common enough COM
plant among young people, and
others not so young.
And If you are contemplating
marriage as the next step to love,
please-if you value your peace
of mind or that of Mr.. Smith or
Miss Robinson-fnd out if you are
in love with love or some young
person. For if Mr.. Smith or Miss
Robinson happens to be only the
peg upon which you hang the
rainbow tinted fragments of ro-
nance they will not measure up
to your ideals, no matter how hard
they may strive.
Dreaming Dreams of Perfection.
For when you are in love with
love you are dreaming dreams of
absolute perfection, and you are
demanding quite too much of Mr..
Smith or Miss Robinson as an
Understudy.
There are a number Of very sim
pie tests by which it will be easy
to prove the object of your affec-
tions-an abstract ideal or a flesh
and blood man or woman? Do you
have to make a good many excuses
to yourself for Mr.. Smiths or Miss
Robinson's shortcomings? Do Mr..
Smiths never failing opinions, on
all subjects, get on your nerves,
and do you sometimes feel, in the
words of that classic squelcher,
lIdl YOU WISH gOu hhc" 40 AhNS'A
about anything as young Smith
does about everything?
Does the way he chews tooth
pick or pares his nails, in public,
make you wish his mother had not
wholly neglected to instruct him
in the little decencles OF life?
And do you wish he would not
cough or fidget or eat that way or
make himself the hero OF every
story or tell you that old one about
the tlme-etc.?
Are you aware OF the distinct
features Of Mr.. Smith. on the op-
posite side OF the fireplace, when
you dream OF the future or is
there just an indefinite blur that
stands for a masculine presence
about the house?

Questions and Answers.

An Old Sweetheart Returns
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Several years ago I was engaged
to a man who claimed he loved
me. Some time later. he broke the
engagement and married another
girl. an old friend OF his whom he
has since been divorced from. He
has again started to pay attention
to me. saying that he made a mis-
take in marrying this other girl
l still love him, but / am undecided
whether to marry him or not
What would you advise? L. c.
think you must be Of a very
forgiving disposition TO consider
marrying a man who treated you
so badly in the first place. But If
you are sure you really love him
no doubt you arc willing to over
look his shortcomings. | would
not be in too great a hurry to
marry him. See how you feel in
six months or q years tina.

That was a pretty story about
the soldier who was given a Vic
tory bond and then turned it over
to the Salvation Army. Here's the
rest of the tale:
CARL DROOP brought me thir-
teen dollars for the Salvation Army,
which was contributed by the crowd
at Seventh and Pennsylvania ave-
nue., northwest corner, Thursday
night.
After they had bought the bond
there was thirteen dollars over. Mr..
Armstrong, who was doing the sell
ing, moved that the thirteen dollars
be given to the Salvation Army
and it was

There's a long story connected
with it, and a lot of people know IT,

what 1 wanted to say is this: Two
nights ago the Elks Of Washington
met and lined up SOLIDLY with the
Salvation Army drive next week.
They put JAMES ]. McCRACKEN at
the head of a committee, and he Is
going to comb the town for the Sal

Uncle Wiggily was walkins
through the woods with a jug Of
molasses for a ginger cake and
was thinking how good the mo-
lasses ginger cake would taste
when. all Of a sudden. as he looked
ahead. he saw. sitting on a log in
the middle Of the path. the bad old
blue-nosed baboon.
Dear me! There he Isl" whis-
pered Uncle wiggily to himself.
Right In my way. too. I'll have
to hop past him to get home, or
else 60 many miles out of my path.
And then. IL do that, it will be
too late for Nurse Jane, to make
the molasses cake. Dear me! WHAT
shall I dor
As yet the baboon had not looked
up to see the bunny. The bad chap
was sort of talking to himself as
he twiddled his fingers and toes.
Uncle Wiggily ought to be along
pretty soon now" said the baboon,
talking out loud to himself. when
he comes along I'll grab him and
take him off to my den"
Dear me! That may be all right
for you but not for mew thought
Uncle Wiggily. 81 wonder how I
can get past that bad chap without
him seeing me. 1 wonder?"
Uncle Wiggily looked at the mo-
lasses jug in his paw and he knew
how sticky the sweet stuff was.
Then the bunny looked at the
loose. dried leaves all about him
under the trees.
II think l know what to dow
softly said Mr.. Longears.
Carefully he took the cork out
of the molasses jug. He poured
some of the sticky stuff on the
leaves. Then he sfyly stuck the
leaves all over himself. from the
top OF his silk hat to the bottom
of his shoes. which he wore on
his paws in winter.
Now l don't believe he'll know
me-" said the bunny. aSshe stuck
more leaves on the outside of the
molasses jug. "I must look like
a pile of leaves. all ready for a
bonfire" And so the bunny did.
Covered as he was by the sticky
leaves, so that not even his pink,
twinkling nose showed, Uncle wig
gily boldly walked right past the
boon. The bad chap hardly
looked up.
That's a big bunch of leaves
the wind is blowing" he said. 'I
wish Uncle Wiggily would hurry"
Uncle Wiggily. safely hidden in
side the leaves. wanted to laugh,
but didn't dare. Soon he was safely
at home, having fooled the baboon
with the molasses. Nurse Jane
helped wash the sticky stuff off
the bunny and then she made the
molasses ginger cake. and Uncle
Wiggily said ii was just dandy.
And the baboon didn't have any
cake, or souse or anything. But

It was indeed q great piece OF luck

to buy a half f-dozen Mausers from
a Spanish soldier. Through Asensio's

dishonesty of an enemy. and,

forays under Esteban's leadership
they had absorbed q bit Of discipline
and were beginning to feel q military

In the Cuban field forces there were
many negroes, and none Of their
fellow patriots fought better. or en-
dured the hardships OF guerrilla war
fare more cheerfuliy than they. Gen
Antonio Maceo was of mixed blood,
and yet his leadership was character

ability. but also by an exalted aban-
don Of personal bravery. His several
brothers rendered Cuba services
scarcely less distinguished, and they
were but a few of the many dark
skinned heroes. This struggle for in
dependence was no patrician's war;
the best stock OF the island fought
side by side with field-hands.
