MI After reading your always
Az wise advice to those poor un-
fortunates lost in the forest of the
lovelorn, I turn at last to you for
my portion Of advice.
I am a young man, and, which is
not unusual am in love. Though
this part OF my story is not strange,
the rest is, for / am not in love
with a girl. but in love with love.
Here are the facts: For years l
have worshipped an ideal: a girl
who was at once kind, intelligent,
sympathetic, responsive to my
every mood and last, but of the
least Importance. beautiful. BY
beautiful I don't mean what Ia gen.
enerally meant by that term. l
mean not regular features, perfect
Fps and wonderful eyes, but fea-
lures which hold a certain softness
and tenderness, a mouth whose
lines give one the impression OF
extreme gentleness, whose eyes are
indeed wonderful. for they hold the
light Of sympathy, intelligence and
humor.
have met many girls in the
past few years, but they can be
divided into two groups. The first
group includes those girls who are
pretty, good dancers, and usually
considered the me plus ultra" Of
girlhood. recently spent an eve

type. 1t was raining so the girl

bored in all my life for she kept
up an incessant chatter for hours
and hours. She was a master OF
the art Of talking much and say
ing little. Needless to say haven't
since made an engagement with
her.
The second group includes those
girls who are educated to the last
degree. They have no sense of
humor and their sole purpose in life
seems to be to infllct their massive
intellects upon poor mankind. Pic

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My fiance and I expect TO be
married in June and would like to
ask your advice as to our clothes.
We are going to have an informal
evening wedding. We both belong
to families of middle-clsss people
in moderate circumstances. When
we have little evening parties and
affairs, we are not accustomed to
wearing evening dress. l am go
ing to have white satin dress
combined with Georgette crepe, but
made very simple. Would IL be
proper or obligatory for my fianco
to wear evening dress? We are

PROSECUTIONS
RECOMMENDED
FOR FRAUDS IN
CON TRACTS
UNITED Press Service

WASHINGTON, Apeil 12.-In a
report made to the House by sub
committee of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, which subcommittee
has been investigating War Depart
ment expenditures a demand is made
for criminal prosecutions by the De-
partment of Justice, and suits to re-
cover $78,000,000, which sum is al
legged to represent government losses
through fraud, waste and extravag-
ance in the "cost plus system" of let
ting contracts for construction OF
sixteen national army encampments.
The report recommends an amend
ment to the Constitution making trea-
son profiteering in war time, and
legislation to prohibit all cost plus
contracts.
Representative Doremus of Michi-
gan, Democrat, in a minority report
asserted that there was found very
little evidence of fraud, and he de-
clared that if the cost plus system
had not been adopted, "the Germans
would hive reached Paris before our
soldiers reached the battle line"
The majority report estimates that
of all the camps and hospitals built
during the war at an approximate
cost of $1,200,000,00O alleged loss to
the government from fraud and ex-
travagance through the cost plus
system, ranged from 300 to 500.
The committee audited contracts
for construction of sixteen army
camps, and it claims the loss sus-
tanned by the government was $751;
100000 out from a total expenditure
Of s2,6O0,O0o 900.
Responsibility for these alleged
losses is placed upon Secretary Baker.
