Her Pretty indies.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: !
am . country girl and I just came
to Omaha about two weeks ago and
have made some friends. At sale
| bought some real nice silk under
wear and night gowns real cheap.
They are very pretty and I showed
them to some Of my girl friends.
They told me that Mr.. Werlich OF
the welfare board would not let me
wear the thin sleeveless nighties, or
camisoles, and that I would be ar
rested II I did. Is this SO? l want
10 obey the law. but don't think It
Is the welfare boards business what
kind of underwear and nightgowns
| wear, but my friends assure me
his is the case. Will you please
tell me IL this is so. because ! don't
want my city friends to think me
countrified and not know what to
do, 80 ] am asking you, as l hear
you give good advice.
Thanking you in advance, I am,
COUNTRY GIRL.
Every girl likes pretty undies and
you will not be arrested for wearing
them. Don't worry! Mr.. Werlich

so long as you act properly. The
girls are trying to tease you.

Dear Miss Fairfax: Have been q
reader Of your splendid advice" for
some time and have noticed quite a
number Of girls my age getting ad-
vice over matters that seem silly. I
want to consult you on some really
important subjects, but first I shall
give you q brief decription of my
self. am five feet, seven inches tall,
weigh 100 pounds and have a form
that Venus would envy. I am a
blond, have blue eyes and q wonder
full complexion. My said complexion
Is real. I'm no hand painted doll
and / look to be at least 10, although
I am but 10.
I go to Council Bluffs High school
and am q freshman. My studies are
80 per cent and over so you see I
am q very good student.
Not only am bright, but as you
have probably already imagined I
am popular with the boys.
Now wat I want to know Is this.
70 1t wrong to have seven dates a
week with boys? Mother thinks it
ID but don't. Should my gentle
men callers go homo before or 8
o'clock in the morning? Is 1t proper
for me to kiss them good night? Is
it all right ito have four or Ave fell
lows at the same time?
Please print my answer in The
Daily Bee. With many thanks,
A. B. c.
Seven dates a week! A form
Venus would envy! Wonderful COM
plexion! Surely the gods were good
to you. It is rather dangerous to go
home so early-if your gentlemen
friends will be patient another hour
or two dawn will make their home
ward journey less lonesome. Since
your beauty ID so dazzling It would
be selfish to confine yourself to one
or two, or even q half dozen. young
men. Be considerate and divide
your time among them. How do you
and. time for such trivial. unimpor-
tant matters as school? Your writ
ing is very poor for one whose marks
are 30 and over.
In Distress.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have come
to you for advice, although it's not a
love affair. have been married
three years and am 20 years old.
My husband gets $50 month, but
after we pay the rent and grocery
bills there isn't much left. We have
two children and also have to keep
two of my husbands brothers who
are both crippled SO they can't
work
Can you tell me some way to earn
money so ], can get us few clothes
I have only an eighth grade educa-
(Hazel only three months), can't
leave them long at a time.
I do want pretty things to wear.
+ do wish the babies and me could
look like other people. haven't
had q new dress or hat since have
been married except q few aprons
to wear at home. My shoes. the only
pair / have, they have been half
soled twice. Is 1t any wonder l
want something new?
People give me things to make
over for the children and myself,
but I don't like to wear them when
everybody in town knows whose they
used to be. II they only lived In
some other town where they would
not see me wear them I wouldn't
care. don't know what makes me
feel that way. Thanking you for
your advice. MRS. TWENTY.
1t is difficult to suggest ways of
earning extra money in the small
towns. However, you might write to
Miss Elizabeth stearns, employment
bureau, court house, Omaha, who
may be able to help you. Home en-
ployment Is often advertised in the
Saturday Evening Post and the va
rious woman's magazines. OF course
you want pretty things-every wom-
an does. Watch the advertisements
in magazines and newspapers for
home employment for your crippled
brothers. That might help some.
Perhaps some kind reader may have
a suggestion.
Poor Fellow.
