office. This girl friend Of mine Is
married. But it's this. We never
paid any attention to each other
until a few weeks ago. He has
never asked me for a date. but one
day my girl friend invited him up
to her house. She was doing this
for me. She asked him to bring me
along He was very glad to do this.

Possibly he thought you neg
lected him during your out-of-
town trip and got the idea some
other young man was involved In
some way. If you see him every
day you ought to be able to devise
some way to talk with him again.
Get your married friend to invite
him up for Sunday afternoon tea
or for dinner. Many, many times
these misunderstanding are SO
easily bridged that one wonders
why they ever existed at all and
when two young people who have
had a falling out really get to-
gether and talk things over, they
find they have little to quarrel
about after all.

than two-thirds OF the farms were

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS fAlRFAA.
have been living in Washing
ION for the past two years, work
ing under the Government. I am
twenty-five years old. have heard
people say / am good looking, dress
we'll and am quite popular with
Doth girls and boys. Please do not
think that l am proud. as / JUST
want you to understand what 1 am
like.
have had quite a few proposals
slnce l came here and also at home,
put never until now have l found
Jne man / could consider anything
lore than a friend. The one l
peak of. l am madly in love with.
and know he is the only one in the
world for me. ! have been goinS
with him for the past ten months
and see him about every other
night. He says that he loves me, and
8 quite affectionate, but does not
appear to be jealous when he sees
ne with other girls or boys. He
always lets me suggest the nights
that he comes up and IL l make -
.ery far off, he does not seem to
ike ii. l know that he has gone
to the theater a few times w'th
other girls. whom l know, but he
always says he enjoys himself more
When he is with me.
Do you think he really loves me
IS he has never mentioned mar
Rage and feel sure he is in posi-
ion where he could afford wife?
Or do you think l am a little bit
hasty? If he is only playing win
ne, it will break my heart as !
have nothing more to live for, ana
| will never want to fall In love
again. What shall / do? Just
wait and see?
Thanking you, l am
EVELYN X.
Less than a year is really a very
short time in which to decide ones
destiny and the young man may
want to be more sure Of himself
before he asks you to spend the
rest of your life with him. Young
men who act too hastily are not
necessarily the most serious and
this one who is taking his time
may mean more and longer when
he does speak than the others.
You may thank your lucky stars
that he is not of a jealous dispo-
sition. II you ever know man
who is, you will be only too glad
to get back to the one who doesn't
watch every breath you draw and
every move you make.

Charms vs.. Education
Worries Sailor.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am 4 constant reader Of your
columns In The Times, and wish to
ask your advice.
am a sailor in the United
States navy and am stationed here
In Washington, and have made
many friends. especially two young
ladies'. one who is a widow who is
very good looking, but who has a
poor education. 1 have never con-
fessed my love for her. but love
her dearly.
Now the other girl is not so pref
ty but has good education, and
her people are quite wealthy, and
she says she loves me dearly.
l have a common school educa-
tion and am a second class petty Of
ficer in the United States navy,
and have been told by many friends
that l am very handsome.
Now which one of these girls
would you advise me to marry?
Please answer soon as possible.
Anxiously waiting,
HORACE.
There's only one woman to marry
and that Is the woman you love.
Although a good education is de-
si.'able it does not make up for
magnetism and charm and | can
not conceive OF man being happy
with a woman whose only claim to
charm was degree from Rad
cliffe or an intimate knowledge of
the Fourth Dimension Marry the
woman with whom you are happi-
est, the one you long to be with all
the time, the one who makes the
moments fly when you are with
her.
