A Rare and
Noble Attitude.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a girl nineteen years old.
I have been going with a young
man for about two months and
am sure that love him dearly.
However. l am also sure that my
girl chum loves the same young
man. The boy himself seems 10
FAVOR me and II is very evident
that he Prefers my company, but
somehow I don't like to see my
friend unhappy. Should / give him
up and avoid him, so that he will
perhaps learn TO love her and for
get me. or do you think II is right
TO look out for my own happiness
and lot her learn to forget? 1t will
be hard for me to give this young
man up but / hate to cause my
dearest friend any unhapp'ness.
FAITHFUL FRIEND.
Yours Is a beautiful but alto
gether absurd attitude. II the
young man loves you, he isn't
going to turn TO your friend even
II you give him up. That would be
an injustice to yourself and to the
boy. Only recently cabled news
report told of two young italian
girls living In q small fishing VII
lage, Both were In love with the
same man. They threshed 1t out
between them and drew lots. The
girl who lost WAS seen 10 enter a
small fishing skiff Just at dusk.
The boat faded into the mist and
the girl has never been seen since.
The next day the young man de-
clared that he loved the girl who
had lost In this foolish lottery or
love and turned away In despair
from the girl who was still alive,
but had no appeal for him. 80

MY DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

My parents approve OF me keep.
ing company. I don't care to keep
steady company with any boy, but
my parents do not like me to have
different boys calling on me and 1
don't like the idea Of settling my
self down to one boy.
l am corresponding with Ave
sailors and one marine. They were
all Washington boys whom 1 used
10 go around with before they en-
listed. Upon enlistment they each
asked me would l write and keep

ing good-natured. ! promised to do
as they asked and have been keep
ng up a pleasant correspondence.
In the meantime / complied with
my mothers request and have been
going steady with q young man for
the past six months.
What I would like to ask you Is
am / doing wrong by continuing to
write to my friends In the service?
There Is one boy especially of whom
think 4 great deal and know he
thinks a great deal Of me. do not
love the boy at home nor the one in
the service, but / would not like to
lose either friendship. The boy in
service expects to be home on a
rurlough soon and then there will
surely be a clash one way or an.
other. How can I keep this from
happening7 BETTY.
The way Of the coquette is al
ways a difficult one. Your mis-
take comes in accepting STEADY

care to marry. You can't lead
two boys on to expect they are the
whole thing without "clashes"
somewhere along the line. think
you are quite right in not wanting
to settle down with any particular
one at your age, but you must
make them all understand that
Friendship" is your limit. You
wouldn't want q boy to pretend,
even by indirect methods. that he
cared more for you than he did.
You ought to give the boys the
same treatment. II the boy at

stand that you want only to be
friends with both. / don't think
you'll have any difficulty.
