Can't Find q Boy She Likes.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a girl seventeen, considered
good looking and attractive. My
only trouble is that it is impossible
for me to find a boy 1 can like.
am not speaking OF love, because
know that I am too young to think
Of love, but I mean a boy that 1
could think enough OF to go out with
and pass the time away. 1 have met
some of the SWEETEST" boys. They
seem to like me, but 1 can't ind
one that I like we'll enough to go
out with more than once. II they
are the least bit fresh, I don't like
them, and it doesn't matter how
nice they are, they don't seem to be
the kind l am looking for. ROSE.
do not think it much of a trag-
edy when a girl Of your age Is fas-
tidious and difficult to please in
the matter of her boy friends. On
the contrary. it shows that you are
more discriminating than the aver
age girl, and when you do make a
friend he will probably be worth
keeping. Seventeen is very young.
Why not content yourself with
girls for a year or two, when doubt
less you will meet some boys that
seem really worth while.
She Is Very Unhappy.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Can you help a desperately I'M
happy woman? l have been mar
rIed for only a short time, yet al
ready my husband has started to go
out constantly with other women.
He is a soldier, and the woman
with whom he goes most. he says
he met at a church social. I still
love my husband and want to win
back his love. Can you tell mo
how to do this? Should l make him
jealous, or what else can l try? 1t
is breaking my heart to sec him
drift away from me. This woman
is older than 1 am, and not as good
looking. l am willing TO go any
lengths to regain his affection.
AN UNHAPPY WIFE.
The old remedy of making a man
Jealous has its dangerous side.
Your husband seeing you relax
your dignity as a wife feels under
less obligation in regard to his own
conduct. There is only one sOver-
eign remedy for jealousy, and that
il common-sense. And I'll admit
il is one of the most difficult
courses to follow when ones prim-
tive emotions are aroused. But if
a woman can exercise patience and
not nag, the chances are that her
husband will weary of the siren
and he glad to be restored to his
wife's good graces. Make your
home an agreeable place TO live in,
be pleasant and bide your time

you have been entirely too lenient

When he neglects you for other

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 read your column every day
and always find it interesting.
However. l have not seen a case
similar TO mine. l will soon be
nineteen. I was born and raised"
a real Southerner-to be exact in
Georgia. / left home at the age
Of sixteen, and having been thrown
down in a highly spirited love af-
fair, I left girls out OF my calcula-
tions and gave my entire time TO
work and studies.
Since / have been in Washing
ton. now about two months, l have
made very few acquaintance,
Even boys seem to be so distant
socially. still find myself want
ing to go with sixteen-year- old
girls. but they are such Nightly
ers here in Washington that
just can't imagine myself assoCiat-
ing with a girl Of eighteen. ! can't
dance, and sometimes ! think this
goes against me. When alone in
my room at night, ] long to be
with some one that J confide in,
some one that ! can talk to with
out having TO think OF each word
1 speak. / believe il is just a long
ing for true companionship such
as always had with boys and
girls in my home.
DESPAIR.
Your trouble is the common
enough grievance of youth, you
want companionship Of your own
age. And naturally you would like
to have girl friends who suggest
the good, wholesome times you re-
member back home" You seem
to have stumbled on the wrong
sort here in Washington, but there
are plenty Of nice girls of sixteen,
girls who are not sophisticated
and destroy ones illusions. You
will have to look about you a bit,
perhaps, before you discover really
congenial young people. These
days the churches all do good
deal of social work, and you might
try this means of becoming ac-
quainted. The Young Mems Chris
tan Association and the Knights
of Columbus each extend a frater-
nal hand to strangers, and, of
course, all of these young men
have girl friends. By all means
learn how to dance; that will help
tremendously.

Women Do Not Think Too
Much About Clothes
David BeIasoo Says Bad Costume Can Spoil Good Play

David Belasco is unquestonably the worlds greatest
student of the stage.
He has lived life devoted to the observation OF effects
He has solved the problem of making cat arch her
back at Just the right moment and pigeon ny TO one
particular spot.
He cut of the hair Of Of his stars because there was
not wig maker in the world that could get the effect he
wanted
Among all the techncaIties of his stage management
he has found his greatest problem in the dressing OF his
characters and of some of the problems which he has en-
countered and his extraordinary ways Of solving them ne
writes most entertaining article for the May number Of
Harper's Bazaar.
He spent fourteen hundred dollars in attempt to
costume one character who at time in the play wore an
elaborate gown and then threw the whole wardrobe away
and adopted simple little dress that the actress wore to
rehearsal without the least thought of making stage
appearance In it.
Mr. Belasco SAYS that women do NOT think too much
about dress In most cases he says they think too little
'There is no mode of expressing the varying moods Of
Hfe we are quoting Mr. Beasco land the traits OF ind
viduals that is so potent dress"
This will be balm in Gilead to the ladies whose hus
bands have said "An you think about is dress. p"
There are great dangers in dress however The danger
to the elderly woman who wishes to dress too youuy
The danger to the girl who wants to dress beyond her
means The danger those who would adopt the radical
the extreme styles which good taste never ndorses or
wears.
The object of every should be to express herself
as carefully in her dress as she does in her language
Unless she talks in loud tones she should not dress in
loud colors
Unless she swears in her language she should not be
profane in her clothes.
Mr. Belasco says that every play which he produces
the costumes much matter Of study as the acting
and often more difficult to make satisfactory.
If every woman gave much and as careful thought
to her dress this great theatrical does to the
things which his stage characters wear, there would be
fewer badly dressed and less mO0g spent In trying
to be beautiful that results in tawdy and unbecomng
costumes.
The best guide to good dressing is saney and taste

the extreme styles influences its readers to attempt

Mr.. Low Says Time Is Ripe For
Action on Exposition
Washington, May z.

Washington, May L.
To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Now that the permanent State ex-
position plan has been revived, much
has been said of late as TO who Is, or
was, the original man to suggest 1t.
1t impresses me as unimportant
who first suggested a Permanent
State Exposition" for Washington;
the prime fact remaining, if it is for
the benefit of all, is not the time
ripe for an organization to be Gre
2ted to do it?
Quoting from a typewriter re-
port, known as a Conference Of
Governors" held at the Hotel Pow
aatan March 6, 1917, over two years
ago, at which the Honorable William
Mex. Clayton presided, he said IN
lis opening remarks: '"The idea is
neither new or original. but is as
old as our Government, being one of
the dreams Of our first President,
George Washington" so it would ap-
pear that the plan has been the hope
and dream Of every generation since
the time Of Washington to witness
the realization of such a plan.
Unanimous Approval.
The true worth and benefit to the
whole country at large Of such a
permanent State exposition seems to
have, without a dissenting voice, the
unanimous approval of every indi-
vidual and every group Of men and
women in the District Of Columbia.
If my recently published letter in
the newspapers of Washington has
stimulated that sentiment into &C
ton, at what appears the psychology
cal time to make this dream of many
generations a reality, then it has
indeed served its purpose
