Treasury Department, and have
read what some girls have written
you about not being able to attract
men. We think IL they would not
talk about themselves so much
they would have more friends.
Some begin their letters with: II
am considered very attractive, but
no young men will come to see me
the second time" Some OF these
girls are considered to be very
pretty only by themselves. We
know two in particular who would
not cut a figure in a beauty show,
but who are always elevating their
own beautiful features.
We do rot know whether we are
considered to be attractive, but we
do succeed in having as many en-
gagements as we wish. We think
that these girls that correspond
with you would attract men also II
they would not talk about them
selves, but uphold their end OF the
general conversation and make It
interesting for their callers and not
bore them with everlasting brag-
ging.
Don't you think that this solution
would answer several Of their prob
lems as they appear in your column.
entitled Girls Who Do Not Attract
Men,,
TWO UNcoMPLAINING GIRLS.
/ have not got the impression
from girls who have written to
me, on this subject, that they
talked too much. Indeed, in many
cases, the trouble appears to have
been that thev did not talk enough.
Evidently 1.-TWO Uncomplaining
Girls" have struck the golden
mien, to read their enthusiastic
account Of their successes.
He IL Net "GIFI Mad"
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a young girl employe In
the Government, having been in
Washington about two years.
am considered to be very attractive
by my friends OF the opposite sex.
Recently, I was introduced to a
naval officer by a friend OF mine.
This friend sees him quite often.
and he has several times spoken
in very complimentary terms OF me.
which, my friend says, Is quite un-
usual for him to do as ne is OF a
rather retiring disposition and
isn't "girl mad"
Miss Fairfax, do you think IL
would be proper for me to invite
this man to call on me sometime.
or do you think that II he cared to
he'd try to make an engagement
himself through this friend OF mine.
I'd appreciate any advice you
can give. as 1 would like very much
to make a friend OF this man,
whose type 1 admire. and still ! do
not want to appear as anxious TO
do so, T. +. n.
Why not tTv to get the obliging
friend to bring another meeting
about, and then you would feel
freer to ask the young officer to
call on you. II does not do to be
too eager about these matters at
first; men are fearful wild fowl,
once you give them the impress
sion you are after them, and away
they so.

Please advise me whether IL Is

/ am crazy about him and cannot do

thirty-two years old and likes to go

before you are In q mood to come
to any decision regarding your

pull him down to q lower level.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

would be unfortunate for you both.

avenue, late the other afternoon, so
that the 'rhind legs" of the appa-
ratus shunted suddenly over on P

scene, and the operators were offered
much advice in the anomalous situa-
ton. Bets were freely made as to
whether "she" was comm or goin'
and when "she" would get there.
One or two fights were imminent,
and two small boys almost caused
themselves to become arrested by
blowing whistles. Altogether there

oils for weeks. Hit her up again!
