A q Case of Too Little
Or Too Much Heart?
nEfLsg,

am twenty-five years OF age,
and have known a young man for
five years. and he has always treat
cd me with the most respect One
al his very fine traits Was good
disposition, and have never known
him to be angry with me. How
ever, of late. he has been very ne
glectful of me. very irritable. and
he really keeps me stirred up ali
the time. He always has come ev-
cry Sunday and once q week to see
me, but he telephoned a short time
ago and said he had to 60 out ~;
the city Saturday and Sunday, and
he would call some time the next
week l know he never goes with
any other girl, and he has said he
cared lot for me. and has asked
me to marry him when he graduates
from college. about two or three
years from now
About two years ago l met q
young doctor and once in q great
while ] have been going out with
him He also cares great deal
for me. and has told me SO. but
always tell him TO keep still when
he strS telling me. He calls me
Of candy and flowers whenever he
can think up an excuse for 1t. AMI
while he is doing all OF this. he
knows all about this other fellow
The worst OF it all is that I think
l could like the doctor as well as
/ do the other fellow.
What would be your advice in
such q case?
DISCONrENr.
, Not being able to understand
girls who have hearts like old
fashioned herdics-always room
for one more-I can give you
little help. The thing for YOU to
do is to determine WHICH one
you care most for and then stop
stringing the other one along.
Has it occurred to YOU that the
reason for the irritability of the
one young man may be that he
knows of your accepting attentions
from the doctor?

and would do anything within my
power to please her.
HOPELESS.
Bother the house, Thereisnt any
girl in the world with any taste
or sense who wouldn't rather live
in a garnet with a thin man than
in a palace with a man of your
general architecture.
You've come to the wrong place
to get any encouragement toward
staying fat because l think fat
ness Is both a deformity and a
crime. Fat people are hopelessly
out of style. In the first place, it
means they are not in good health
and in the second 1t means their
mental processes aren't on the
job. Fat only accumulates when
the mind Is asleep. See a good
physician and have him ad-
wise you. AS you probably know,
it is dangerous to life to reduce ex-
cept under expert guidance.

Sometimes A Mas
Gets To Be A. Habit.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am young girl of ssyeptesn
aud have been going With 3 yopng
man OF twenty for more than &
year. and during this period kG has
often e1pressed the love be has tat
me. and | have every reason In the
world to believe that Ne r&afly does
love me. but wheh I am Il . dance
with him or out with some othsr
friend, I usually feel as though he
doesn't count any more than the
rest. Some time, ago, he had .
quarrel. and | told him that / did
not care to see him any more but
after he had gone just felt miser-
able for several days aud celt as
though ] couldn't live without him,
and l didn't want to see the others.
SO / wrote and told him that !
spoke too quickly and invited him
to see me again, waich he seemed
glad to do. Since then things have
been about the same as before.
Now. Miss Fairfax, what l want 10
know is, do you think / really love
this young msn2 ''--'
BROWN EYES.
! think few girls Of seventeen
are actually in love. ! know they
think they are. They have vari-
GUS emotions, and never having
experienced real love they nat
urally mistake these first inter-
ests in the opposite sex for real
emotion. Spend the next few
years just being happy and don't
worry about this thing that baf-
fles mp.h older and more expert
enced ,omen. You'll know when
you sally care and you'll thank
your lucky stars if that time
finds you unmarried and free to
take the right man.
True Love Nevers
Runs Smoothly.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Last year met q fellow I used
to like when we we're youngsters
and right away we renewed our
friendship. Not very long after he
was called away. corfesponded
with this young man tAn whole
time. From his letters he cared
very much for me. Shortly after
ward he returned and we started
going together. 1t was not long
before he started breaking en-
6eHents ana ne Always hAo y
pretty good excuse. I know all of
the boys he goes with apd they
kidded him to death about me.
After this we drifted apart Do you
think they were the cause Of this
as now IL I ask him to 60 OUT with
me he always accepts and seems
to enjoy himself Immensely.
Please give me your advice as I
would love to regain bis love.
r. 8. q.
] think you are both getting
older and more common sense d
the same tine. l think you are
doing very we'll as it is because
two people who enjoy themselves
immensely are not common.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes Of the Pfobems Pitfalls Workers
Especially y For Washington Women
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

Have been reading your advice IN
The Evening Times for ever SO
long, and think you could advise
me what / should do as to the fol-
lowing. About year ago, young
fellow passed my house in a car and
smiled, and 1 smiled back and We
have been seeing each other about
four times q day since. About two
months ago a friend Of mine intro
duced us; have been out with him
three times since, but see him to
talk to every day. The last time /
was out with him, which was last
night, he told me he was married,
and had one child. but hadn't been
living with his wife for man.
years. He said he didn't like to tell
me. as he thought I wouldn't go
with him any more. but again he
thought 1t was his place to tell mt.
1 know he doesn't mean any harm
by taking me out, and he is a gen
tleman in every respect. The friend
who introduced us did not know he
was married. His wife will not di-
vorce him. She Is living in another
State. Knowing the position he is
in should / continue going with
him. My friends do not Know he Ia
married, and 1t would be hard to
stop now, as / have met hundreds
of fellows already. but IT have new
er loved any of them as | have this
one. l am sure he cares for me,
and should he keep from going with
a girl because his wife won't dt-
vorce him?
AND BROKENHEARTED
If you enjoy living on top Of a
volcano you might continue this
friendship. One by one your
friends and acquaintances will
learn that he Is married. They will
chatter and gossip and boil you in
oil and you will be powerless to
stop them. The young man will
be equally unable to protect you
from slandering tongues. Legally
he is mortgaged and ethically he is
a cripple. You will grow fonder
and fonder of him, it being the
way Of women to care in proper
ton to the sacrifices they make
and the way Of men to care less
in proportion to the sacrifices that
are made for them. Gradually
the position you will be in will be.
come more and more iptolerahle
and you will wonder if love makes
it all worth while. 1t isn't
pleasant path down which you have
started. The question is: Have
you the courage to face it? Is it
going to be worth while? Wouldn't
it be a lot better to say to this
young man: when you can come
to me with a clean slate, III re-
ceive you with open arms; until
then-good-by.' Because,of course,
if it's real love on both sides, the
waiting and separation will not
alter it.
