DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

While overseas, I met a beautiful
girl, who became deeply infatuated
with me, and now we correspond
regularly. Things looked quite
serious, but, after returning to the
good old U. S. A. 1 made the ac-
quaintance of sweet little girl
and 1 like her very much. and /

What shall / do?
l hope you will let me know
cne way or another. as you will

Be man enough to face facts and
make an honest decision. Find
which is the girl you love and go
ahead and marry her. Don't try
to put the burden of indecision on
the shoulders of the third person.

By Beatrice Fairfax.
SHE LIKES SOMEONE ELSE.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am very much I'm love with
young woman. Until a short while
ago I believe she thought a great
deal Of me. Having every reason
to believe that she now thinks more
of someone else than she does OF
me, / have gracefully withdrawn
from pressing my attentions. Did l
do wrong? l love her, and / believe
she is happier when with this other
man than when with me. This is
the only cause for my having to no
tice her. 5. Il.
or course. you did not do wrong.
You did the only thing there was 10
do. And now you want me to tell
you how noble you were?
Since you profess such deep love
for the young lady, 1 hope you sat
isfied yourself that your case was
hopeless before you gave her up.
Otherwise you were a great, big
faint-heart, and deserved to lose her.
And not at all noble.

TIMELY BEAUTY HINTS

Society women wash their own hair,
not because II is fad, but because
they wish to obtain the greatest
possible hair beauty and be sure
they are not using anything harmful
They have found that in washing
the hair it is never wise to use a
makeshift, but is always advisable
to use a preparation made for sham
pooling only. Many of our friends
say they get the best results from a
simple homemade canthrox mixture.
You can use this at a cost of about
3 cents a shampoo by getting some
canthrox from your druggist and
1issolving a teaspoonful in a cup of
hot water. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply to all the
hair instead Of just the top of the
head, as with most preparations.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water. Your hair will be
so fluffy that IL will look much
heavier thar IL is. Its luster and
softness will slso delight you.
