DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Ny problem is, of course, in re-
gard to the ever unanswerable
question of woman" About one
and half months ago 1 met a
young lady and at first sight Of her
1 "felI," and fell" hard. or course,
1 didn't lose any time about making
an engagement with her. and con-
sidered myself very lucky when, on
going out with her each time, al
ways left her with a date in the
very near future. This continued
very smoothly for about three
weeks, and then one night when
she was to meet me down town. she
broke the date. I waited for about
one and a half hours, and finally
gave up hope. AS she has no tele-
phone, 1 wrote her fine letters. to
which I received no answer. So
on meeting her on the street one
day / asked her for an explain alton.
She got me to talking of other
things and made me forget entirely
for the moment what l wanted to
know. When I realized this, which
was after she left me. l felt like
kicking myself. I have seen her
several times since and each time
she leads the conversation to other
and more impersonal topics. How
can l get her to explain? she sell
dom has time, so she says, to have
an engagement with me now since
she Is working at night. Shall 1
fnd out where she works ana can
her up there? I've lost hope OF her
answering my letters.
A MERE MAN.
1t doesn't appear that the lady
is particularly interested in you.
but that hasn't deferred other men
from pursuing young women, and
If you are 80 awfully hard hit, I
don't see why you shouldn't persist
If you want to. OF course, you are
counting snubs and disappoint-
ments, but even those things from
her are probably more welcome to
you than fond attentions from any
other woman. Many woman has
finally fallen in love with and
married a man she originally had
no interest in. A few more trials
ought to have some effect on her
or serve to convince you she can

To Red
Cross Not To
Sanction Fight
Humane Society Protests
Against Americans Sup
porting Cruelty.

No little unfavorable comment has
been aroused by the fact that the
local chapter OF the Red Cross is to
become a beneficiary in part Of the
funds TO be raised by a bullfight in
Juarez Sunday.
Dr. T A Bray, president OF the FL
Paso Humane society, gave out the
following appeal Saturday:
The FL Paso Humane society ap-
peas 10 and kindly requests that the
local Red Cross officials, the local
United states immigration officials
and the local United States army Of
ficials not lend their aid and assist
ance in promoting the bull fight
which is extensively advertised for
sunday, Nay 4, at JuareZ, Mexico, by
allowing their names 10 be used in
connection with same. Bull fights
are extremely cruel affairs and
from those mentioned above, especial
ly the Red Cross, organized for a
humane cause. The bull fight. as ad-
vertised. states that the Red Cross
is to receive a part OF the gate re-
ceipts- We are sure this would not
meet with the approval OF the Ameri-
can Red Cross"
An FL Paso matrOn, who has been a
faithful worker for the Red Cross
during the war and who had a son
overseas in service, sends the follow
ing TO The Herald:
I was amazed and so sorry TO see
in your paper that the Red Cross so
ciety is to receive money from the
bull fight to be held in Juarez Sun
day / thought that the Red Cross
always tried to relieve suffering
But IL its officials take money from
the bull fight. they viii be just as
guilty as the people Of Juarez who
are managing it.
1T is a 'pastime' not fit for saw
ages. and il would seem as il anyone
with any feeling for our dumb ami
mails or with the least instinct for
fair play would not be a party to
such a barbarian sport The bull
aas no chance; there is only one fate
