DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am q girl OF seventeen and a
high-school student I have been
going with young man five years
my senior. He has been a very in
dolent fellow and is very shy, and
people always pass poor remarks
about him, which discourages me
very much indeed. But he has prom
Used to me that he'll do all in his
power to become a man and earn
my love. But my mother has sworn
to me on my dead sisters soul that
il l marry him she will not look
upon me as her daughter.
Now, Miss Fairfax, I-love him
very much, and being that he lives
in the same apartment house and
that we see each other every day,
it would be harder to forget him.
He is not as we'll of as / am, but
my parents do not object on account
OF that but because people detest
him so. My mother imagines that
no matter how hard he tried to be-
come a man. he'd never succeed.
that l get your advice, as l sob
night after night.
BROKENHEARTED.
AS you are surely still much too
young to marry, cannot this deci-
sion be postponed for a year or
more, and meanwhile this young
man will have an opportunity to
make something of himself, and
thereby overcome your parents
objections. l think you ought not
to take this so tragically, when
there Is so much time ahead of
you for things to come out right in.
II you love each other, that ought
to sustain you both during the pc
riod of waiting. A shy person is
often misunderstood, but a young
man who suffers from this disad-
vantage can have no greater help
than q trusting EzAeethaAKt

Great Difference In Ages.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
would like to ask you n YOU
think it right for a girl in her teens
to entertain the idea Of marrying a
man Of fifty, even though he is wei
preserved and can pass for thirty
fve? Also do you think a man or
that age should marry a girl SC
young. Do you think thirty years
difference between husband and
wife is too much? INTERESTED.
Unless there is some exceptional
attraction between these two peo-
pie, or some great community of
interests, it would seem such an
unusual difference in ages would be
something OF a risk. 1t depends
so much on the individuals them
selves, rather than on circum-
stances, whether marriages Of this
kind are a success. History re-
cords several that have been excep-
tionally happy.

lodging outside your own home,
for a while at least. But if you
are dependent on your parents you
will doubtless have to continue to
make concessions to them. It is,
of course, extremely painful, since
you are a young man of high
principles, for your mother to
misinterpret friendship of
yours, but since the young lady
herself is not alienated, that is
really the important thing, isn't
it? And sometimes a friendship
maintained under difficulties is
sometimes stronger for that very
reason.

unable to obtain medicines from
drug stores because those establish
ments all close around II. She is
surprised that q city Of Washington's
size has no all-night drug stores.
Druggists say that this is true, but
that it is possible to arouse drug
gists living above their establish

obtain emergency medicines. Il
would not be profitable to pay .
pharmacist $3.50 per month for late

stripes to their credit, having gone
over on the first ship in 1917 and
returned within the past two
months, are about to 60 back to the

served with the most famous divl-

first modification was revision Of the
house provision making it a misde-

to believe" it was being used for vio-
lation of the wartime prohibition act.
The senate requires that person
must have knowledge of the illegal

held liable" 1t was feared that over
jealous enforcement agents might use
this provision unfairly.
