Past Life Ruins
The Present and Future.

DEAR BEATRICE FAIRFAX:
You published my letter signed
Lonesome Girl" but I am afraid
you misunderstood me. Perhaps
did not make myself quite clear.
We had been such good friends and
he knew that / was a widow and
also that 1 had been a mother, but
no more. He never asked many
questions about my other life. Bot
on the day he came and told me
that he loved me, he surprised me
by saying that before he sealed ihe
engagement there should be per-
feet confidence between us. was
rather unwilling to tell him, for 1t
was Just as terrible to me 20 sit
there and tell him as II was for
him to listen ! believed in letting
the dead past bury its dead. But
he insisted and also said that moth
ing that could tell him would ever
influence him against me. So
rather unwillingly / told him,
everything. And then he left me.
Why, I don't know.
Can't you give me some advice?
I know that I shall never be any,
thing to him now and even IL he
came back I could never trust him
for he broke my faith in human
nature. But must 1t be this way
with everybody? VIII all condemn
me for something that happened of
which I was the victim? I can't
stand this life as IT is and IL I must
live out my life apart from people
who look on me as IL 1 were some
thing Of horror I can't and won't

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

Lam q very clever girl and very

care for him, but 1t was 50 easy

his expense. Would you drop him

I could never Hove this boy. He
is such q fool UNDECIDED.
Do you think you made fool
Of this boy or do you think by
your actions you made something
worse than a fool of yourself in
the eyes Of other boys and girls
"in your crowd?" You have had
q few "good times" and a few
tIColo iIOu q wy yOu hoFC uO
use for and all the while you were
proving yourself incapable Of true
friendship or loyalty or sincerity!
Do you think it worth while at
that price? Do you think you
would see q pleasing likeness Of
yourself were you to look into
the minds Of your associates who
know Of your actions? String him
along and get Christmas pres
ent, IL you like, you will do what
you please, regardless Of anything
1 may say, but II you do, you will
be one of that most unpleasant
specie-a petty CRATER. Many de-
cent self-respecting girls suffer as
a result Of the sort Of thing you
have done. The day Is coming
when this boy will realize he has
been "stung." He will probably
Judge all girls to be the same type
you are. Then, when the right
sort of girl comes along, he will
be cynical and inconsiderate. 1t Is
the sort of woman you are who
makes life difficult for other and
better women. Why not realize
that 1t Is a wonderful and glorious
thing to be a woman and do what
YOU can to make the word woman
mean all that Is dear and sweet
and loyal and honorable instead OF
the opposite things which you now
express?

Very Simple to Adjust
This Matter.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am thinking about inviting a
young man to lunch at the house. j
have known this man since child
hood, and we are very good friends.
Without the shadow of doubt he
is a man of honor and can be
trusted implicitly. Is 1t proper for
me to have this fellow to lunch
while I am alone in the house
without the presence Of hated
chaperon? FEL1ClTA-
I haven't much use for the sort
of men who need chaperons. If
l found they did, would cease to
number them among my friends.
The plan you propose sounds most
unusual, however. Why is the
house completely empty at that
time and why don't you make it
at least a party of four, invit-
ing a girl friend and another
man?
