DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have read your letters In The
Times for a long time, and I would
like your advice in regard to
friend of mine. This girl friend /
wish to help has been married about
six years, and was very, very happy
until about a year ago, when her
husband came home drunk and
made things very unpleasant for
her.
He has continued drinking and
seems to get worse.
Now, Miss Fairfax, I happen to
know that she does everything In
her power to make him happy, and
she Is a beautiful housekeeper. and
is not extravagant. She does not
want to leave him, as she loves him
too well. / think she should treat
him rather badly and give him
lesson, but she will not agree to
this.
/ know that she is very, very un-
happy, and Ia always In dread OF
his Homecoming of evenings.
I am anxious OF finding a way OF
helping her through your columns.
Why is 1t that intoxicants have
a greater fascination now that the
city is "dry" than when it was plen-
tiful?
think II a shame that one so
young and lovable should have her
life ruined by a thoughtless hus-
band.
MOST ANXIOUS TO HELP.
This man must be a most in
genious citizen to be able to Sc
cure enough LIQUOR in these times
to become intoxicated. If this is
his only fault, however, l think

II Conservative" and Happy and

that it is the deadly fear of being

to hide their souls under fashion

would be a little more kind and not

the modern youth as their ideal

Although l enjoyed your letter
and feel sure you would be a most
charming person to know, still l
cannot quite see the necessity of
so completely hiding your real
personality under a veneer of su-

ciple that doctors sugar coat pill,
it is Just as well to sugar ones

age mans consumption. Never
theless, I'm sure real refinement
and culture ought not to be veiled
nor am l sure that 1t could be very
successfully, except by very
clever actress. Nor do / quite see
your reasoning that your real self
would be laughed at. 1t is true
that most of us have side that
only our best and closest friends
know, but l cannot see the sense

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAlRtAA.
am a constant reader Of your
column, deriving much pleasure
therefrom, but never before having
been moved to answer any of the
letters until / read Happy and
Unmarried's" letter a few days ago,
and then Conservatives" which
aroused such indignation that l
could not resist the impulse.
81 am nineteen years old, but
please do not let that influence you
unduly, and hope l am not fiatter-
ing myself when l say that i have
plenty of common sense, otherwise
1 should never have made good in
the responsible position I hold now.
also have had unusual opportuni-
ties Of education for my years and
have more than the average girls
smattering Of the "fne arts" They
arc not everything, however. For in
stance, / am intensely interested In
politics and the affairs of my coun-
try in general. Yet / am not the
"masculine" type or girl, and know
quite as much about cooking as l
do about business routine. i want
to say that girl who Is gently
born and bred does not parade her
accomplishment and education be-
fore any man, but leaves him to
discover them, which he will soon
enough-even at the first meeting.

sonally, although he might well de-
serve it, for 1 cannot pass judg-
ment on anyone of whom know
SO very little, even "black-haired,
brown-eyed. good-looking, artistic
gentleman"-does he hate himself?
I am not sure.
At the risk of appearing conceit-
ed myself, would like to say to
them both that many people have
most kindly credited me tn very
nearly all Of the aualitie they de-
plore the lack of in tr.e modern
girl, and I know that, in that I am
different" from most girls, but I
take pains not to show them to
those who would not appreciate
them. And, oh, I have been so Bit
terly disappointed on several oc-
casions that, now. IL takes me n
long, long time to come out of the
she'll with which i have learned to
protect my finer sensibilities, and I
know that there are others like me.
That is probably the answer Con
servative" seeks to his query about
the concealment game. When the
right man comes, j will be more
than ready to abandon the super
f'ciaI little foibles and vanities, with
which I conceal my true self: but
In the meantime, am just human
girl and / like to play around with
the boys who imagine that am as
silly and shallow as the rest-just
to get rid Of the black depression
that sometimes, unaccountably set
ties on my spirit and which I-would
do anything to throw of, for NOR
bid self.pity is self-destruction, as
you doubtless know.

SEATS IN STREET CARS
FOR WOMEN RIDERS.

That Heard and Seen reader who
hoped on "boobs"-he called them,
who refuse to give seats in street
cars to women passengers has stirred
other writer's on this familiar sub
ject Here are Just a few OF the
comments:
S. w. M think any fair man is
willing to give his seat to an aged
man or woman, a woman with q child
in her arms. or a person who seems
ILL More OF us would be willing to
give our seats to women IL the ma
jority showed the slightest apprecia-
tion Of our courtesy. I will make q
wager with any man that more than
half the women you give your seat
to in a street car will not even thank
you.
T. p. P.-If Washington women
were more thoughtful of other pas
sengers in street cars there would be
more thoughtfulness shown them. 1
have gone INTO cars a hundred times
and found women scattered along the
seats with space in between them. II
any two or three of them would move
lust a little there would be space for
me to sit down, but II Is very seldom
that they ever do this unless some
one shows signs OF falling into the
t'rst space available. Then, out OF
fear of being mashed, they will move.
Let women riders first be courteous
to men and they will see great
change toward women.
A. +. T.-Don't embarrass our ro-
bust ladies by any such "give-a-sest-
to-a-lady" propaganda, as advised by
"Fredericl."
]. c. M-Inasmuch as women now
insist on absolute equality with men
In all things. cannot SEQ why men
should not take and keep seats unless
aged men or women enter. Daily I

The Senate and the $3-Per-Day
Minimum Wage Bill
By BILL PRICE

The United States Government will rank among the
most al O employers of labor if the Senate passes the
House bill providing minimum wage OF $3 per day IN the
service of the Government!
This Nolan bill has passed the House twice and has
the gamut of the most bitter critics OF Government en-
poyes 1t ought not have very homy path through the
Senate that it has been favoraby reported by the
mittee which has been considering IT.
For many years the cost of living has been mounting
this country In the last three the cost has pract
cay doubled And during adj those years many thousands
of and women have remained at their Government
posts salaries averaging around So day; some of
them less. The great majority of them men who
have put their best days with the Government and have
maintained families. This possibility when prices
were far lower but the small pay then positive
disgrace any government. The minimum wage now pro
posed will not meet the advances in cost but WILL at least
be a tardy recognition of long standing injustice
There are watchmen in the Treasury Department stand
ing guard through the lone hours of the night millions
of dollars of gold and billions of dollars in bonds, whose
salaries with bonus included are below So per day.
There isn't private banking institution in this
try that would offer such salary for work of this
responsibility.
The poorest paid aborer in the remotest of the
United States is better off financially than the majority of
these watchmen and messengers who must pay the
prices for food that the wetodo pay and must live In
houses with roofs above their heads.
Any suggestion that the Senate may postpone consider
alton of this bill until the Reclassifcaon Commission makes
its recommendations eopardze the chances OF final
passage If this ptiable addition of ST. per day is to be
given to workers for the Government there for
postponemen They entitled to it and if Con-
gress makes larger increase after the commission reports
they will be entitled whatever increase may then
But there occasion for grave doubt whether Congress
going to accept the recommendations of this commission
which has given long study to what is fair and proper
Senators and Congressman will not bat their eyes when
voting to put through millondoar appropriations, but
some of them may make serious objections to providing
few thousands of dollars each to raise the of
efficient workers from So to So per day.
Money is seemingly about to be appropriated to send
90 &c 10 ho HOno in hocfo too of
here are American and women, in Washington and
elsewhere who have been striving for YEARS to have 81
per day added to salaries which raveses upon fair
compensation.
It is not conceivable that any United States Senator
will wish go record voting against paying human
being the stupendous of So per day. With this
minimum, Uncle Sam will proudly stand out among en-
poyers example of economy and of advanced human
thought.

A clever stenographer who han

that "a strange phenomena of the
