DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

am going right to the point in
this. l am young man about
twenty years Of age. Have been in
town now a little over a year.
While have been here I have
never met any real nice girls. The
high school type were very narrow
minded and the broad-minded type
were not refined. i come from the
South and ! have very high ideals
about love. Some are my own
ideas. others come from famous
men, and seem like good theories,
so have put them in use.
Not long ago l met the most
wonderful little girl that I have
ever seen. Needless 10 say that it
was love at first sight for me, and
l believe for her. She is my ideal
in every sense OF the word; every
thing that l have held good and
true in a woman seems to be a gift
with her. But happiness is not
wholly mine. she is married. and /
do not know what to do. / love her
too much to go away and forget,
too much to just 60 away and
dream. what is the best thing to
do? She Is not a war worker, nor
is she a Washington girl. Just
visitor in the city, In fact. Let me
know soon what I am to do about
this calamity. She is the kind OF
girl that would introduce to my
people and not feel ashamed. Not
rich, not naughty. but just a plain
working girl and real woman.

found your 100 per cent girl" only
