she spends many unhappy days but,

she could expect in the future at
my hands and so far as words are

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Allow me to comment on the let
ter appearing in The Times, signed
"A Rambler" who really interested
me very much. Knowing, as / do,
the embarrassing situation in which
he finds himself I can more fully
appreciate the fact that he would be
pleased to meet a good looking girl,
but not one of the "jazzy, silly, or
the ordinary" ones. All men admire
beauty, II underneath the beauty
there Is true sympathy, intellect and
beauty and purity of soul Other
wise the beauty Of women only de-
tracts from her real character. Be-
ing OF an artistic mood I can read
lily see how he detests the "jazzy,
silly" type OF girls. Neither do
blame him. for after all beauty is
only skin deep, and without person
ality. individuality, and character
isn't long enticinK.
The artists practical dreaming
will not come amiss in the years to
come, l am inclined to believe, for
that Is one essential the true artist
demands. However. II would help
considerably for the practical
dreaming to become a reality, there
by giving Rambler" a title to good
living. the same rs any other pro-
fessional person, since that Is his
desire.

ent from the ordinary boy of today.
That your aspirations may become
reality, you must endure hard
ships and disappointments. After
all, life would be monotonous hav-
ing oil the pleasant things of life
with nothing to sadden II, or vice
versa. 1t takes some of both to
make life interesting. Still I'll ad-
NIT that we get out OF life Just
what we put into II, and a friend
can make your life worth while.
I do not think that persons are 30
prejudiced against artists. On the
contrary, there arc lots of girls,
real pals and companions, who
would be delighted to meet one OF
your personality and walk Of life.
People who appreciate you and the
work which you are engaged IN will
recognize the genius In you. rather
than voice prejudice against you.
Perhaps II has taken this loneliness

An Elective School Board Will
Satisfy Washington People
By BILL PRICE.

Revelations before the Senate committee investga
public schools make it plain that nothing but cleo
tive school board board chosen by District Commits
sioners elected by the public will in the future satisfy
people of this city Any other method deprivation Of
rights everywhere recognized fundamental OF freedom
The real feeling of Washingtonans this subject
exhibited the meeting for suffrage in the Cen
tral High School, at which Congressman CHAMP CLARK
presided Unexpectedly those who arranged the meeting
and prepared its program W. NICK CLAYTON introduced
resolution asking Congress to grant the District political
self determination and recommending "tha the people Of
the District be empowered to elect in the 1920 the two
Commissioners appointed from civil lfe and that the
Board of Commissioners shall appoint the members of the
Board of Education"
This resolution went through unanimously with shouts
of approval
1t is not surprising that the justices of the District
Supreme Court very earnestly wish to be relieved of the
thankess job of appointing members of the Board of Edu
cation The work has added nothing to the honors and
prestige of this distinguished body On the contrary crit
csms will follow from persons who do not understand the
congestion of work in that court and the inability of the
justices to necessary time to matters irrelevant to their
duties
But whether the appointing power transferred the
White House to the Commissioners the objections the
public will be just pronounced The President has no
time for these things He must depend upon advisers who
may may not give the slightest consideration to public
sentiment; probably would not rap for what our
people think desire
The District Commissioners would be closer to the peo
pe if they appointed by the White House without
consultation with those who voice local sentiment
Dut no appointing agency WILL su Ior the slmple rea-
that ambitious and women with money sufficient
to live on, but regular occupations will continue to
scheme to get control for themselves their personal
friends. Those who working for living do not have
time to 60 to the White House District building Those
who do have the time with talent for clever plotting win
be on the job. ~sI

did not do as she suggested, but
led her to believe that I did, since
that is what think she wanted
Now I do not wish to have You
think that I am of the opinion that
I am perfect and that I am merely
trying to pick her to pieces and en-
large on her faults because this Is
not so and feel that l may be as
bad as she in some respects since
we do not see ourselves as others
do. I have often asked her in what
manner / could make her care moro
for me, thus inviting criticism, and
have always received the reply that
there was no way but when I tell
her of things I don't like she often
strongly resents it
In spite OF all the above and
other things which tend to drag me

have often decided that 1t could go

working a lifetime for to be able to

UNCERTAIN
On tho surface, you two seem
to be hopelessly mismated, but
underneath there may be some
small and inconsequential thing
which is causing all the trouble.
Mutual understanding seems to me
the basis Of any love and without
it there is little satisfaction.
Sometimes l think the trouble with
us Americans is that We analyze
things too much. Instead Of just
being happy, we seem TO want to
sit around and pick our happiness
to pieces. What was the book or
play recently where one character
says: "You Americans don't
want to love-you want to talk
about it." People of the Latin
races talk little about their love
but feel It intensely. An Ameri-
can girl hastily draws her lips
away from her lovers first kiss
and proceeds to crosS-examlne MN
like vertible district attorney as
to why and when and where he
loved her, whether he ever loved
before and whether he's ever going
to love again. She is scarcely a
sweetheart but rather vivisec-
zionist. Don't you think you may
be doing something of the sort.
Instead of just feeling love-you're
talking it and apparently talking it
to death. Your little sweetheart
may be one of those inarticulate
persons who feel things just as
deeply as more expressive persons
do, but who cannot put her feelings
into words and actions. Love her
little more and analyze her, your
self and your love n little less and
see how that program works for a
