DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ am a young girl of eighteen.
], like all other girls, cannot get
the one man that I think is really
made for me. / just can't interest
myself in anyone else. / used to go
to the movies quite frequently, and
it was outside of the theater that
i used to see this particular fellow.
He spoke every time he saw me and
l never paid much attention to him.
l smiled occasionally. So one night
l went to the movies and he was
standing outside as usual. He said
Hello" and / turned around and
spoke and also smiled. He came up
and walked home with me. The
distance between the theater and
my houses is about ten blocks. When
we arrived home he expected me
to kiss him "Goodnight." l would
not do it. He made a date for the
next night. He broke it, but l did
not care, because / was not wild
about him. So l saw him the next
night and he apologized for break
ing the date and also gave me a
good excuse-at least, I thought 1t
was, but / guess it wasn't / had
two more dates with him, which he
kept very promptly. / grew to like
him more and more, and now / am
wild, simply wild, over him, and
just cannot live without him. l
can see him whenever 1 want to, as
] know just where he hangs out.
But / do not go where he Is for
fear he may think I just come down
that way to see II he is there. VIII
you advise me how I can win him
back? I just can't forget him, and
he causes me many sIeepless
night. BROWN Ely ELS.
You are a very silly girl and are
not even using the common sense
with which an all-wise Providence
is supposed to endow almost
everybody. You have here a per.
feet picture of the professional
male flirt and in your foolishness
you fail to recognize it. He hangs
around the theater, flirts with
you, expects you to kiss him good
night because he gets the idea you
are a eight" creature in that he
was able to "pick" you up, and
yet you go on deluding yourself:
In an effort to enlighten you, l
am going to quote from the June
"Smart Set"
"Her modesty was widely prais-
ed. He met her and found that
her occurrences was genuine. She
never saw him again."

I have information for H and S
nuts who may be contemplating
matrimony and a wedding trip af
terward. / am informed that any
of the swell hotels in Lanatic City
will give you a room, with private
bath, and good board, for the low
sum of $500 per day. Extras, in
the shape of ice water, are only $5
per day additional. A letter re-
ceived by me from John D. Rockefel-
Ter says that if he goes to a summer
resort this year he may have to sell
some of his stock to pay the bill.

WHY A DOG TURNS ROUND.

LLOYD 3. FIELDS facetiously says
that dog turns around several
times before lying down because
"one good turn deserves another" but
the majority of our contributors say
chat IL is the dogs instinct, surviving
oyer many thousands of years. In
prehistoric times the smaller animals
turned around a few times before
lying down for the purpose of tram
pling down the vegetation into a sort
of bed and also for the purpose OF
frightening snakes and biting insects
away.

"watchful waiting" just so long
will husbands flirt and get away
with it. No, my dear, the situation
is not up to this girls big
brother" if she happens to have
one, but it is up to the blonde
young mans" wife and no one else.
You are gaining nothing by play
ing the part Of hypocritical igno-
rance. ~ long as men are not
called to account, they will con-
tinue on the path of dalliance. You,
as much as he, are lending your
self to a life of lies and deceit. APP
parently you lack the moral cour-
age to confront your husband with
the knowledge you possess and
continue, instead, program of dis
stimulation and hypocrisy. Put
your house in order. No one else
can do it for you and resorting to
anonymous communication to my
column is probably the least effec-
tive measure you could take.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
What can one think of a girl who
deliberately commits an act of ILL
breeding without any reason?
The girl, in question. is highly in
telligent and finely educated. Dur
ing my association with her l treat
ed her as well as I know how. I'll
admit I enjoyed her society. In fact
I thought more of her than eny girl
/ have met before. Life was
pleasure when with her. For the
first time in my life had met a girl
who justified my rather old-fash-
Toned reverence for women in gem
eral.
Well. after several months in
timacy, and after several manifesto
tions of her preference for the sap
headed writer she insulted the same
aforementioned in the presence of
several mutual friends.
Women who do such things. in
my opinion, are cowardly. because
they take advantage OF their sex.
Men can't and get away with it.
Every time l think of her former
sweetness II makes me sick to
think of her hypocrisy. There is no
necessity for her to stoop so low
bscause as much as / thought Of
her l would have kept away from
her IL l thought my company an
noyed her.
l now understand why decent
women abhor firts.
REGRETFUL
You know the strangest thing
to me about young lovers is how
swiftly they can change from hot
to cold, from perfection to the OPP
posite extreme. Can't you see that
this girl couldn't be all you
thought she was a short time ago
and be capable Of the thing you
think Of her? You must have of
Tended her in some way, hurt her,
something to sting her into doing
such a thing. What the thing was
you do not specify, which makes
II difficult to form an opinion, but
take it she indicated your at
tentions were hateful to her. That
could have come from outraged
pride only.

WHY CLOSE THE

a new question regarding the clos

I'm all sincerity and with pro-

people close their eyes when they

Is It that we should try to shut

tributor to our literature has so vivid
ly brought out this fanciful use Of
bells as has Edgard Allen Poe in his
poem entitled "The Bells"
The feature which characteriZes the
programs of the Dunbar Quartette is
the absolute blending of their selec-
tons into a complete whole. There is
Il consistency in these programs which
has distinguished them among all the
Lyceum and Chautau1ua attractions
of the last double decade. No feature
will be remembered longer than the
beautiful chimes and harmOnies which
are introduced in their sacred seiec-
tons. Their original transcription in
which are heard excerpts of beautiful
songs sung by the players accompanied
by the bells will be counted by MANY
the most beautiful music they have
ever heard. The young men introduce
a sufficient amount of humOr to leaven
the program properly and to sustain
the reputation long held by the Dun.

DUNBAR QUARTETTE.

For many years Dunbar Quartette
and Bell Ringers company was one of
the most popular of Chautauqua and
Lyceum organizations. The present
company was organized by Ralph Dun
bar of the original Bell Ringers and
is@most worthy to bear the Dunbar
name. The members of the Dunbars
appear in solos, quartettes and read
ings and carry $50 hand bells upon
which are played some of the best
overtures and solo numbers. In order
to secure an especially high quality of
talent the singers have all been given
a fOur-year contract.
In selecting the repertoire of the
Dunbars due attention is paid to the
selection of music which is really ap-
prOpriate for bells. There is none of
us but what has thought of the impor-
tant place which bells play in our
mental activities due to their assOcia-
ton with SO many epoch-making
events in our lives. Perhaps no CON
