Is impossible for me to forget.
This young man is five years my
senior, and is indeed a wonderful
pal. | don't know whether to write
to him or not.
His brother tells me that he
thinks my friend will come back.
Perhaps he is trying to console me
because he knows the whole thing
and tells me that / treated his
brother too well.
Please tell me something to do.
because cant stand this much
longer. You know when one is
used to having ones buddy every
night and then one doesn't see him
for almost a month, that it makes a
Big difference.
BROKEN HEARTED AND
LONESOME.
1t Is in such crises as these
that We show the stuff We are
made OF. 1t is how we, react in
situations of this sort that we
prove what our mettle really is.
| understand just how sad and
lonely you are, but | know that
you are going to feel better about
1t. | know, too, that you can help
yourself to feel better more quick
ly if you will strive to attain the
right mental attitude.
Your mistake lay, apparently, in
allowing this young man to see
too much of you. A woman should
always keep some reserve. No
matter how much people may
like cream puffs, they will tire Of
them II they eat them every day.
Possibly, too, the young mans
pocketbook could not stand the
strain of entertaining you every
evening. There is hope that, after
a short absence, he will miss you
and want to return to you. II he
does, plan not to see him oftener
than three nights a week and you
will probably keep him longer.
If, however, he doesn't come
back, you must come to the real
ization that he wasn't worthy of
the love you gave him and that
the sooner one finds out a situa-
ton like that the better. You are
very foolish to allow yourself to
become despondent. There are
just as good fish In the sea as ever
came out Of it. II you stop pining
away over this boy and perk up
you will soon have another "buddy"
you will probably like as well.
Learn to stand on our own feet.
Don't allow any one person or any
one thing to become essential 10
your life because Fate has an un-
fortunate way OF snatching away
from us the things we declare we
cannot do without.
Whatever you do, don't discuss
your unhappiness with these other
boys. The brother is undoubtedly
carrying tales back to your former
friend and it all puts you in a most
unpleasant light. The surest way
not TO get this boy back is to LET
him think you are pining away for
him.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am widow of twenty.three.
About three months ago 1 met a
young man on the train coming into
Washington and fell in love with
him, and. l believe, he cares a little
for me, but / don't think he really
believes / love him, as he always
tells me / am vamping him. How
am / ever going to make him be-
lieve me? have been out with
him several times. He also has call
ed at my home to see me. He Is
the first man ] have ever been out
with since have been a widow,
but he doesn't seem to believe me.
Now, what am I going to do about
this? Do you think / do wrong by
telling him / love him so much
when he seems to be afraid to even
write and tell me he cares for me?
He says he wants me to love him.
and always wants me to write and
tell him so. Please advise me what
to do. NJ. X. s.
There are some things we can
not afford to be too generous with
and high on the list is love and
the expression of love. Let him
do whatever love making Is to be
done. II he wants a demonstra-
ton of your love let him win 1t
wi.r a demonstration OF his. |
should be very chary OF man who
was unwilling to commit himself.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ am a married woman. twenty
Ave years old next month. with two
beautiful little children, six and
three years old. I have been mar
ried seven years Until the last two
years have been very happy. when
my husband began to pay attention
to q woman forty-five years old.
She Is not one-half as attractive or
good looking as I am. and every
one says they can't understand it at
all why he prefers her to a good
looking wife and good housekeeper.
What 1 want to know Is, what can
do to break It up or whether the
law can do something for me.
A HEART BROKEN WIFE.
You must be falling In your part
as a wife II a woman twenty years
older than yourself can attract
your husband away from you. You
say, quite complacently, that you
are a good loving wife and a
good housekeeper. The good,
loving wife, who loses her hus-
bands affections is rare. II would
be interesting to hear our hus-
bands testimony on the subject.
He must think differently or he
wouldn't seek companionship else
where.
The only successful way to
break it up is to make yourself
more desirable to your husband
than this other woman is, remem-
bering that a woman's charm does
not lie wholly In good looks, but
much more often In interesting
personality and active mentality.
The law will give you a divorce, II
you have legal evidence warrant
ing it, with support for your chill
dren or a limited divorce with a
separation allowance.
The pity Of case like yours,

writes of two instances witnessed by
him of "officiousness' on the part OF
what he terms "a self-important
knickerbockered park sparrow po-
liceman." This officer forced party
of young men out of the Public LII
brary park on the ground that they
had been boisterous. The writer says
the charge was untrue. city po-
liceman called on to arrest another
young man who was charged with
being part "of the same gang" al
though he had arrived after the others
were gone. This young man, who OBJ
jected to the language used toward
him, was taken to n station house in
a police patrol. the writer says. "all to
crafty a two-by-four park police
mans desire for notoriety."
