Questions and Answers

many of my friends, but they can
not answer. TWO DOTS.
The idea of a face veil is prob
ably one of the earliest forms of
"camouflage' the world has ever
known. Only the fairest face and
the clearest complexion can sue
cessfully defy the bright glare
of daylight; therefore the mesh
veil was devised to counteract
the revelations sunlight makes.
Night and artificial light are no
such enemies to a woman's looks
The Washington times., 1919-11-04
Beatrice Fairfax Writes the Problems and Pitfalls the War
Especially For Washington Women

therefore-with nightfall the ne
cessity for a veil ceases. Like
most rules Of what is and is not
proper, the etiquette of TIE veil
is based on common sense. Of
course, the larger wells for motor
ing are always correct to protect
the skin and keep hair tidy. j
can still recall hearing a friend
of my mothers declare that any
woman who went out in the day
time without a face veil must
certainly consider herself very
fine looking.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 read your letters and find them
very interesting and would like
your advice. l am eighteen and
considered very good looking. About
two month before last Christmas
l was going with a young fellow
ono year my senior. l love him
very dearly. One night he was at
my house and another fellow came,
boy with whom l had gone to
school. He came chiefly because
he was a friend of my brother.
That night these two young men
quarreled and my sweetheart did
not come to see me again. ] see
him every day because we work in
the same place. Now he wants TO
come to see me again. | would
rather let him come, but my par
ents object. Do you think my par
ents should prevent him coming, as
L love him very much?
ANXIOUS.
It's up to you and this young
man to win your parents over to
your way of thinking. Find out
just what their objections are and
then try to meet them, make them
see that the fact that the boy
has been loyal all this time and
has not changed his mind about
YOU is something in his favor.
Let him go to them in a direct
way and state his case. That
method is always best.
Why Look for
Trouble?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX
| am a young girl twenty years old
and have been reading your columns
in The Times for some time. Being
interested In your advice given the
other night, ! am writing TO ask
II II is well to break one or two dates
SO as to make your friend think you
indifferent CHIC.
That depends altogether on how
"chic" you are whether you can
get away with it or not. In the
article you refer to, / may have
advocated coquetry, but | did
not suggest that girl should go
out Of her way to offend young
man, and breaking engagements
already made comes we'll within
that category. No advice should
be carried to extremes.

/ went together for about eight

he does for me. Just as feel sure
b. cares more for me than A. does
What shall I do? DOUBTFUL.
You remember the old slang
expression that life is just one
darned fool after another?
There's often a great deal Of
truth in everyday slang. The
world is full of women who are
breaking their hearts over some
man who is indifferent to them,
while right at their elbow is
some devoted swain for whom
they can't muster the least in
terest. "The women I have
loved and the women who have
loved me have never been the
same" is a line from a recent
play. 1t tells the whole story.
No one but yourself can say
whether you will prefer to love
actively or be loved passively.
One woman would thrive on the
latter arrangement while another
would prabably be bored to cx-
tinction.

That altogether depends on
whether you want to love or be
loved. Almost any older woman
in the world will tell you that the
greatest bore in the world is to
be entirely surrounded by people
who love you and never to see
one you yourself love. Remember,

VOCATIONAL BOARD AIDS
IN CASES OF EMERGENCY
Disabled Service Men in Training
Tided Over Difficulties, Including
Financial Embarrassment.

II disabled man in training alb
ents himself from his work, has sick
ness in his family or is i'll himself. or
if he becomes financially embarrassed
or dissatisfied with his course, the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
tion provides a way to help him in his
difficulty.
Personal counselors are selected at
each center where disabled men are
in training, whose special function it
is to be real friend to those who
need him. 1t is the endeavor of the
board to prevent the relationship be-
tween it and the disabled man from
becoming mechanical, and these per-
sonal advisers are named with the
idea Of keeping in mind the ambitions
and hopes of these soldiers who have
lost much physical strength through
service. Whatever offers the best
promise for the ultimate success of
the disabled man is arranged by the
board, where possible.
For this reason the tutorial method
of training has been provided for
some disabled soldiers. This is done
both in institutions and in training
on the job. 1t has been found espe-
cially helpful in increasing the effec-
tiveness of correspondence courses.
