By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

A woman's reason is because,
but if you take pains to 60 back
of the because" there is invaria-
bly, a good and sufficient reason
for her many leaps or back-steps.
When the women of Omaha
gathered at the Athletic club
Thursday in their Kellerman
suits, twiddled their toes in the
pool waters and sighed as the
hours fitted by while waiting for
the fair Annette, they grew peev-
ish.
But the perfect woman" did
not appear and she sent her re-
grets with the insufficient reason
because" This did not satisfy,
and some of the fair matrons took
it as an insult. 1t wasn't that.
Not the Old Annette.
Back of her because" we find a
most imperfect form the real
reason. Annette is no longer the
modern Venus, neither is she
good-looking. The nyuph-like
pictures shown in advertisements
are culled from the morgue of
many years standing. Her mo-
ton pictures are wonderful, but
Annette (if you will observer
never permits the camera man to
take closeup. She is too keen
to hatter herself that such pic
lures would be attractive. In her
spectacular work il pictures An
nette wears a wig of false hair
which covers a multitude Of irreg-
ular lines and awkward angles.
She is a wise woman.
When the expert swimmer
comes on the stage she laughing
by announces that the public is be-
ing buncoed, or some such thing,
by the posters which proclaim her
the perfect woman. what you
really see," she admits, us a
mouth like the Mammoth cave,
six hairs on my head and made
up complexion. But who wants
to be a perfect lady?"
And She Admits It.
This from the woman herself
puts the audience in a much better
frame Of mind-it dulls the sharp
edges Of disappointment and
brings forth a laugh where there
would be a groan. And we all
know that a laugh is worth a

kiss boys, why do they say Sweet
16 and never been kissed"
How should we conduct ourselves
in order to become popular with the
boys? Why is it that the boys al
ways pick out girls that act silly and
never have a real serious thought?
How can we tell If we really are
in love with these two boys? Is 1t
right to allow the boys to put their
arms around us? We don't. We
would like the answer in the Sat
urday Bee. Thanking you in ad-
vance for your advice, we are,
TWO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS.
The boys have sense. Why should
you be anything more than friends.
Certainly you are too young to be
serious. "Sweet 16 and never been
kissed" is, imagine, combed from
ancient authors, but It has never
meant anything so far as I can learn.
Be nice little girls and don't run
after the boys. Then you will be
more popular. You can not tell at
your age, whether you love boys. If
you don't" allow the boys TO kiss
you, why, continue to don't" and
you will get along all right.

The Tragedies Of Youth.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Three weeks ago I met a girl friend
Of my sisters and Immediately pro-
ceeded to fall in love with her. 1
was successful and feel pretty cheap.
I had known her one week when
she permitted me to kiss her. Quite
sudden, no doubt, but the fact re-
mains.
In another week we agreed that
we would marry when I was 81,
(three years hence). / said that in
that length OF time could save
enough to make us fairly comfort
able. Then she made the rather
overwhelming declaration that she
would marry me IL was absolutely
penniless.
Two or three days later ! heard
Of a supposed mistep she had made
some time ago. I did not believe it
and asked her to deny 1t. This she
would not do, but I told her that
nothing could lessen my love for

ATuchIy Married,


Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Again I find myself in trouble and
reading your advice in the paper
daily. / thought that perhaps you
could help me. I am considered at
tractive and am well to do and have
been married two times, however,
not successfully, as my first wife and
are separated and the death of
the next one occurred very shortly
after our marriage, three months
ago, although I loved her dearly.
Now, Miss Fairfax, I have no chill
dren and I find that I am in love
with a very sensible lady who is
already married, but is soon to be
divorced and also has no children.
Now she says she loves me dearly
and can not live without me. I also
love her dearly. am only 26 years
old; feel it would be a very lonely

a Refreshing Letter.


Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I don't suppose you begin to know
just how popular your column in
The Bee is, do you? Well. you
would IL you were around this house
about IL a. m. every day, when the
bee boy drops the paper here, for
there is one mad rush to see who
is the lucky one and mostly my hus-
band is; but then he reads "Jiggs"
and / read your advice and, really,
1 think they are good and some are
a knockout, but it takes all sorts of
people to make up this world. So
hence this letter for a little advice,
too.
Now, Miss Fairfax. no one is try
ing to lure my husband from the
Preside nor am I the most "beauti-
full girl in town and the fellows all
crazy over me; no, nor yet am / 60
ing to butt in and give poor G. 0. G.
Cor whatever his name be- any lee

worser than that.
Well, the other day l dropped a
little mirror out of my pocketbook
and It fell face down and broke and
mother said, God bless you, child;

you know, but anyhow ] keep think
ing about it lots. Now, Miss Fairfax,
do you think there is any such a
thing as seven years bad luck Just
because / broke that mirror; II so,
what shall I do, pull down the
shades and hang up piece OF crepe
till the seven years are over, or
? - a. I'LL. 1vNsaTA3
Now, Miss Fairfax, you know most
everything in every line, what do you
think? oh, well, the bitter goes
with the sweet, so here's hoping.
So, before closing have a few
good books would like to give to
some shut-in; also a few "tiny baby
clothes" to some poor woman that
needs them or will, and I have a
doll and Teddy Bear l would send
to some little child that can not have
such things otherwise. Thanking
you, A READER.
Thanks for the nice compliments.
We are all glad to see our friends
fight for The Bee. My dear lady:
'aThere amt no such animap as
seven years of bad luck. OF course,
If you find seven hairs in the comb
after dressing your hair, or keep
track Of every suggestion Of pain,
count every cloudy day and record
all trivial disappointments, then you
may be able to figure out how you
are living through seven years of
bad luck. Otherwise, you will con-
tinue to be happy. healthy and nor
NAL. Beware Of permitting the mind
to be sidetracked, for the mind is a
powerful magnet for bringing to pass
whatever you think should come to
pass. Remember this: Bad luck can
not survive a smile and the devil
runs from a cheerful soul.
am sure there are many shut-ins
who would enjoy your books; also
mothers who would appreciate the
baby clothes. Please give me your
address so that 1 may send you the
names of worthy ones. Your letter
is refreshing and I am delighted
that nobody is trying to vamp your
husband and that you are not rushed
to death by the boys because Of your
irresistible beauty.
