Advice To The
 Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. An Authority on all Problems of Girls and Questions of Love
 and Romance.

Dear Miss Fairfax: Four years ago I met a young man of my own ago During aII this time I always tried to remind him that ours was nothing but a friendship. At last he has made me realize that he is deeply in love with me; he naturally wants my love in return, and has an idea that mar riage is the only proof of Teal love and detestS the idea of waiting. l have tried to impress him that he owes it to himself to continue his college career. He swears he is never in the company of other girls, yet acquaintances are being taken out by him. He criticizes these girls when in my company. and yet I have been at dances when he brought these very girls.
 I realize that as long as we are not engaged I have no right to keep tabs on him, no more than he can keep tabs on me, but I can't under stand his object of lying about it. terms. I would like to know what it ions.
 know it can't go on this way forever, so one has got to call a halt; it's up to me. What would you ad- wise me to do-mere words no longer have any effect? Girl.
 I gather from your letter that the young man is really not worth while; if he treats you this way before you are-even engaged to him, what do you think he would do when you were married? You are fortunate to have discovered him in his true colorS before it is too late.

WOMAN, 79, IS ORDAINED
 PREACHER
Widow, With Grown Up Children, Has Just Besn Graused Authority to Preach As Methodist "Clergyman,''

Peterboro, N. H. -Seventy-nine years old, a widow with grown chill dren, and just ordained as a clergy man in the Methodist Church and placed in charge of the Peterboro church. where she breaches every Sunday.
 That is the record of Mrs Elizabeth S. Barker, the oldest woman ever or dained in the Methodist or any oth- CT church.
 Years ago her husband. veteran of the Civil War, died, leaving Moth CT Barker as she was known, with two young children to feed, clothe and educate.
 For years she devoted herself to that task, working in a shoe shop to get the necessary money, ana at night studying theology and her Bible.
 She early developed regular rou- tine, which had for its base her ad- age. "Never waste a minute.
 If she had bread to bake, she would study while it was in the oven-
 "Every moment is precious IS another of her nrotoes. Never in all the years of her busy life has she sat down with folded hands, content to do nothing.
 Her cakes are famous among the housekeepers of Peterboro-almost as famous as her sermons Her seventy-nine years have left her vigorous, and twice each Sunday she breaches to the crowded seats of her little church.

How fortunate it is that it takes all sorts of people to make a world otherwise what a monotonous old place it would be to live in. About every subject under the sun-opin- ions differ. Consider fashions, for instance. There are those among us who are still prc-American enough to prefer clothes that have been con ceived and brought forth in our Jain countree." There are others who like theirs to bear if not the actual stamp at least the suggestion of gay Paree. While not few and far be- tween are the women who have de- Hberately adopted France their na- tive 1and-aS far as regards modes and desire French styles undenatur- ed. And it is pretty much a case of every woman to her own taste.

 puts it, there seems no way of dis

 For wear on midwinter afternoons crepe and chiffon find themselves fav- ored, but cloth is winner in the race for popularity. And almost invaria- bly, every fascinating frock boasts its own bewitching bit of fur. This fur by the way, is quite often the means

CHIN STRAPS

I receive a great many queries from women in their thirtieS 'who want to know what to do for the lax muscles under the chin that are so sure a sign of coming age.
 Chin strapping is valuable for this because for eight or ten hours out of every A the sagging muscles are held back in place. There are a great many chin strapping devices on the market, but any woman can make one for herself if she wants to. or she can bandage the chin with strips of gauge tied over the head.
 If a regular chin strap is made I would suggest that a piece of strong unbleached muslin be used. This should be hemmed to protect the edges and should be wide enough to it comes under the chin and on each side as high up as the ears. Three little pleats should be taken on each side of the muslin strip and then two
 pieces of tape should be sewed to each end, so the strap may be tied firmly over the head. The pleats are necessary to narrow the chin strap D at the side and make it fit better. If you use a gauge bandage as many women do, you need only gauge torn | into strips three or four inches wide. Take a piece a couple of yards long, bind it under the chin and over the l head several times, adjusting it so it ] is firm enough to hold up those mus | cles and yet not~tight enough to be uncomfortable. FaSten it with safety pins. One strap of gauge may be l used several times.
 | Of course, in connection with this | or any such treatment you should do | everything possible to strengthen the
 muscles of the chin by other means. Chin stretching exercises, massage 1 with a good cold cream, and daily ice
 rubs will all be most valuable. Mas
 sage with the. finger tips is also of great help.
 l Sheer Stockings-There is no
 known way of removing superhuous | hair permanently except by the cleo i tric needle, and this method of course
 is only practical for removing super | huous hair from the face. If the dark
 hairs on the leg bother you, and
 show through your i1k stockings, you
 can use depilitory powder here, just
 as you can for hair under the arms.
 These powders can be bought in any
 good drug store and are perfectly
 harmless if used according to direc-
