Worth While Girl
Appeals to Many Men.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


wish to respond to the young
lady's letter who signed herself
"a Different Type OF Girl"
should like to meet q girl of this
character. .....
This type of girl, as she expresses
herself to be. surely is worth
while girl, and touches a tender
spot with me. She is "belle with
a true ring" and not the Liberty
belle whose vanity goes to make
up the crack that makes the ring
OF true character void.
From casual acquaintance I have
made during my life land I'm a
young man only twenty-three). it's
clear to me which type of girl is
my choice.
It's the girl who is a Christian
at heart, a Protestant, optimistic
in spirit happy and cheerful un-
der just conditions with good
sense of humor.
or course a girl who loves to be
a "real pal" naturally is blessed
with these virtues.
Give me the out-of-door life for
my recreation; the fish pole and
line or the rifle and the shotgun.

A Lot of Advice for
Patty and Patty Green
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


have been for a long time a
constant reader OF your articles.
/ noticed. of course, the letter
written by Patty, and knowing well
that it would be certain to draw
replies, I kept the page for refer
ence. Now / positively did not think
for a moment that l would ever
write an answer to ii, but after
reading the comments by the "de-
string" men in today's issue l just
cannot resist the temptation to
write-but lightly-for j realize full
well that your answer to Patty
was far abler and, 1 hope, effective
than any l could write.
1 like to see a person think rea-
sonably we'll of himself, for he must
feel an incentive to "1ook toward
the heights" and will, more than
likely, prove a better, nicer man.

what State he is from. ] only grin

try OF ours must be, Gods country"

west, and while l have found the
country and climate a bit different
in different sections. found the

Western pioneers came from the
East. why should their children be

Now, Patty, and you also. Patty

upon itself" And II is just as easy

It is sincerely hoped that Governor

in the end save Maryland money in

looking and have a great many boy
friends. / was coming home from
work one evening, and met a nice
young fellow and we. talked for
while and finally he got my tele-
phone number and called me up,
and / have an engagement with him
This fellow has asked me to run
away and marry him. / love my
home and my mother the best. Now,
1 love him. but just think what 1t
means when you leave your mother.
The worst OF all she won't consent
to our marriage. Miss Fairfax,
please help me.
WAITING GIRL
Of course | know what it would
mean to leave your mother and
I'm glad you are a dear, sensible
girl and realize that your home and
mother are more to you than any
boy can be just now. This young
man makes me think of one of
those big, black birds that come
swooping down and rob nests,
tearing little soft-feathered fledg-
lings from the old mother bird. |
don't believe you love him, my dear,
and know he doesn't really love
you or he would not contemplate
taking you out of Your home.
Love means unselfishness and this
young man is thinking only Of his
own selfish desires.
