natural that these young men

years younger than myself We

about eighteen), and she has not
paid me any attention since. only
the other day she said TO me: Il
am about to receive a ruby ring,

must end. love the other fellow
and intend to marry him" Now,
Miss Fairfax, / don't consider this
a very nice way for her to treat
me after l have been so true to her.
What should l do? l love her and
couldn't bear to have her marry
some one else. Should l go away
and try to forget? L. w.
The race must always be to the
swift and this mere boy seems to

that seems to be your role at the
present. / cannot see where you
have any real grievance. The girl
is not practicing any deceit. Love
cannot be compelled. She has told
you fairly and squarely that the
other fellow has won out and
there's nothing for you to do but
to accept your congo with grace:
Of course, while there's life land
until the marriage ceremony has
been performed), there is always

= EAR MIS- FAIRFAX:

~ EAR MIS- tAlffAA:
Do YOU think it would hurt
- some young men to bring
their girl friends a box of candy
once in a while? ] have young
friend calling to see me about twice
a week, but he never brings me any
candy or suggests our going any
place. The reason ] ask this is be-
cause my girl friend has a gentle
man caller who never forgetS TO
bring her candy whenever he comes
to see her. / certainly do wish
some of those cheap guys" would
wake up to the fact that all girls
like candy. WlNlFKED.
There's more than one way OF
being cheap and one way might
be said to be the cultivation OF the
habit of petty grating. If a young
man chooses to bring candy, that's
one thing, but for a girl to de-
mand that he pay toll with box
of candy or sheaf OF flowers
every other time he crosses her
threshold, is something else
again" Nowadays most every
girl is able to buy her own candy
and nearly all of them prefer the
independence that goes with ac-
cepting little or nothing from
their men friends. There's is a
growing feeling that the boy and
girl, the man or woman, must
stand on an equal footing, each
seeking the other for the JOY of
companionship rather than the
program of old, when the woman
had to get all she had in the world
from the industry of some male.
Men are fast reaching the stage
where they want to feel that they
are wanted for themselves alone
and not for the votive offerings
they bring. And many a man
ceases to call on girl when he
gets the "hunch" that he is being
taken for an easy thing.
No, my dear, don't get the habit
of looking to see what n mans got
in his pocket when you let him in
the front door. If you like to have
him around just for his own
"onery" self, all right. If he him
self doesn't suffice, just cross him
off your list. Be like the girl who
would rather buy a dinner for a
man who interests her than be
taken by q man who bores her.
Also remember this. When two
women get to competing with each
other concerning the gifts their
respective men bring, there's
nothing for the men to do but take
to the tall timber or institute
bankruptcy proceedings. Don't
be a silly-go out and buy your
self sack OF candy and be inde-
pendent. Cherish that indepcnd-
ence as you would a peaches and
cream complexion. 1t will last
longer.

stating he was through with her
and not to reply to his letter. If
this is the same girl to whom l
sent a similar letter about the
same time, she is evidently trying
to ease her conscience ff she has
any by getting the kind of advice
she knew she would receive by
emitting the cause for his act,
which she knows well was justi-
fed.
Your opinion of him. based on
her letter, though merited, was
wasted on her, as she apparently
held no feeling other than con-
tempt for him already, and her
phrase "as l love him very much"
was inserted to secure your SYM

stances, with the exception of the
omission of his reason, are pre-

BETHLEHEM MOTORS
COMMITTEE FORMED

The stockholders Of the Bethlehem
Motors Corporation. for which a receiver
was appointed on August IS. have
formed a protective committee. headed
by b. w. Jones OF the Bankers Trust
Company and composed Of Otis A.
Glazebrook. Martin Z. Kern and NJ.
Morgenthau, Jr. The committee decided
to act, at the instance of several share
holders. to protect the interests Of the
shareholders and with the ultimate hope
of being able to present to the stock
holders q plan of reorganization which
would preserve their equity In the prop
erty.
Since the receivership proceedings two
other committees have been named. one
representing the merchandise creditors
of tho corporation and the other the
banking interests to which the company
owed money. The stockholders have
taken no action to protect their interests.
It is the intention OF the stockholders
committee to act In concert with the
other two committees to bring, If posi-
BILE. out OF the receivership some sort OF
plan which will result to the benefit
of all.
