DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am twenty and dearly in love
with a man fifteen years my
senior. know my love is recip-
rocated. I have been meeting him
clandestinely for about four years,
knowing my. people would not APP
prove OF him, but last week ex-
planned things. as I know / would
rather die than give him up, vice
versa, but, of course, they object
to his age and also think they are
justified in asking me to give him
up because he is older than / and
an Italian, although he came over
to this country when three years
old and is really just as much an
American as a man born over here2
My people also object to my
working for him. as ne has his
own business. Are my people right
In asking me to look for another
position and in saying I should
have more respect for myself than
work for him?
HELEN.
Your people are showing a fool
ish prejudice in the whole matter.
Some of the finest people In the
world are Italians. and, indeed, II
pays to remember the part Italy
has always played in the history
of the world. Folks have a strange
way OF mixing justifiable opposi-
ton to marriages between lndl.

absurd sort OF national prejudice.
