see so many slight weight" and
impossible young men who do
dress well, that, like your mother,
my sympathies are inclined to be
with this solid type of boy who
doesn't give a hang about clothes.
Too many of the young girls of
today (like the young men in re-
gard to the girls) want a tailor's
dummy or a clothes horse. If the
man is all right, the clothes don't
matter and, moreover, tactful
woman by suggestions, requests
and other methods can easily get
a man interested in different
clothes and styles, until in years
time, he would hardly recognize
himself. Needless to say, all this
would have to be done cleverly
with no nagging and no invidious
comparisons. Every man is vain
and every man can be flattered.
By suggesting that he would look
simply stunning" in this or that,
you would soon see him headed

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a young man twenty-one
years old, and have been working
in the Government here in Wash
ington since being discharged from
the army. Before I went over
seas I was engaged to a young lady,
but while in France on the front
received word that she had mar
ried man who had not entered
the service and who never did en-
ter the service.
Up until the time that I received
word that she was married. had
been getting letters from her, and
II appeared that she still cared for
me, but couldn't understand why
she didn't hear from me. wrote
her every chance that / got.
i now hear that she has gotten
divorce from her husband and Is
living in this city. I still care for
her, but would like to know IL you
think IL would be wise for me to
renew our friendship. or do you
think IL she ever cared for me very
much she would have done Us she
did7 A COUPON sHUFFLER

Here's Another of
The Same Sort

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been reading your advice
and seeing you have helped so
many girls, feel that you may be
able to help me. / am young
girl eighteen years old and am
madly in love with a young man
two years my senior.
Now, Miss Fairfax, the fact is
this: He Is a dandy fellow in
every respect and he seems TO
think a great deal Of me. but when
ever we go out together I always
feel ashamed Of the way he dresses.
He has a very red complexion and
wears green and pink shirts, green
ties, and a green suit. This young
man is also very bow-legged and
he insists on wearing short over
coats.
Now. Miss Fairfax, these things
worry me very much because most
of my friends tease me about them
Don't you think a young man OF
his age should use little more
common sense In these respectsf
Your advice would be greatly ap-
preciated as 1 am very doubtful as
to whether I could be happy should
1 marry a bow-legged man.
SLIMMY.
From the tone Of your letter, 1t
doesn't appear this is the young
man for you. Intimacy is apt to
breed contempt, at the best, and
your present disdainful tone could
and probably would quickly de-
velop into contempt and un-
pleasant criticism. Love must
include respect (respect almost to
the point of reverence) for the
beloved. You are not enough in
love to be blind to this young
mans defects and I'm afraid it
would result in a sorry affair for
both of you.
The Washington times., 1920-01-10

Will you please make editorials
urging that the question of this
league of nations be referred to
the people to be decided by refer
endum vote?
Three questions should be sub
mitted: y
First, the question of ratifying
the covenant as Mr.. Wilson
brought it over, unaltered.
Second, the question of ratify-
ing the covenant as it shall be
amended by the Senate.
! Third, the question Of rejecting
the whole proposition and keep
ing entirely free from entangling
alliances with European nations,
according to the injunction Of the
Fathers.
: Personally, I am in favor of
this last proposition, and think
the majority of the people of the
country are in favor of 1t. But
no one k,tot0s what the majority
of the people of the country are
in favor of.
Mr.. Wilson surely has not
reached the point where he is in
different to the will of the peo-
pie, and he should like to know
whether the people approve of his
plan or not.
The Senate also should like to
know whether its amendments
are indorsed by the public or not.
And the people should be given
an opportunity themselves to de-
eide whether or not they want to
depart from the policy Of no en-
tangling alliances with foreign
nations established by Washing
ton, indorsed by Adams, Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe, Jackson,
Lincoln, Cleveland, and practical
ly all the great men Of American
history, but rejected by President
Wilson.

Now, here is the trouble. He
doesn't like to dance, while I love

In January 1920 Mr. Wilson has arrived at the view
point occupied by Mr.. Hearst in September, 1919.
In advocating referendum of the peace treaty and
league covenants to the people in November 1920 Mr. VIII
does what he should have done in November
long before, for that matter.
In fact the proposition of entering the European
should have been submitted to a referendum vote.
Every proposal to make either war or peace should
be decided by referendum vote.
Some day we will have that written the Constitu
ton of the United States.
There will be fewer wars and no peace conferences like
at Paris after that.
But while Mr.. Wilson is belatedly right in insisting
upon referendum of the treaty and league covenants to
The people, he is altogether wrong from the partys view
point in his determination to pledge the Democratic party
to support of the treaty and the covenants in that ref
erendum.
If the Democratic National Convention pronounces
favor of ratification Of the peace and league
nans the Democratic party will be politically dead there
and then.
Nothing but funeral win take place In November
We Democrats who look upon alliances and entangle-
nnents with European politics with abhorence; Demo
Gratis who believe in and the teachings Of Wash
ington Jefferson Madison Monroe Jackson, Lincoln, and
Cleveland; we Democrats who Americans first and
partisans after that Democrats who provide three
