TO THE
 LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAx.

Too ExactinS
 DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
 I have been going with a young man about a year, during which he saw me every night. Then we became engaGe Ged-not openly, just between our mothers and sisters. He took sick for about three months. I saw him every night and he asked me to stick to him because he would be lame, and I did. Since he 1imps but can get around he asked me for nights off. I allowed him Friday to see his boy friends, but he was not satisfied; he wanted four nights a week, one of these should be Saturday, and I know his boy friends could not see him so often.
 He speaks to me of marriage. yet before me he has his girl friends of the past to his house.
 PUZZLED.
 When you say you allow your fance Friday to see his friends, you suggest at once that you are so ex- acting that you'd be likely to drive any high spirited boy to desperate bolt for freedom You can't own an- others soul. You can't chain an in- dividuaI to your side. The boy may be a tickle. undependa'ble sort-in which case you can't hold him and are we'll rid of him. But whatever sort he is. your insisting that he stay with you doesn't put a high value on your society. What was priyil- ege. becomes a duty. That's not clever, is it?

Vary with Meals.

Generally speaking, desserts should be light, although they must vary with the character of the meal at which they are served.
 In the average household there are but two courses, the main or meat course and the dessert If the main part of the meal is meatless or rather light, the sustenance needed may be gained by eating a dessert which has eggs and milk as it's foundation.

It is well to have desserts even if it is necessary to keep down your food costs. For they add to the meal certain necessary elements that the system craves. besides making a pleasant finish to it.

 The American attitude was thus outlined to the International News Service today.
 ''The issue is clear cut. We have proposed a program far more mag unanimous than many American naval authorities consider justif1ab1e. We propose to scrap two ships to every one that Japan scraps, both old and new We have enough new tom mage authorized to make the Amerf- can navy the greatest in the world within a few years. Now we are voluntarily offering to sacrifice this leadership on the altar of world peace. They can either take it or leave 1t. And they won't leave it."
 The impression prevails in some American quarters that Japan will hinge her acceptance of the sixty ditions. One of these is her retention of the battleship Mutsu, the greatest and most powerful of her new vessels constructed under the eight and eight program. Another is that the forh- fications of the Pacific at Manila, at if she agrees to accept the ratio pro- posed.
 The Japanese have put forward these feelers during the course of ne gotiations here.

ANIMALS FOUND
 IN SAD PLIGHT

Following the trial and conviction of Charles Snow, of Reservoir avenue, on charges of cruelty and neglect of animals, in the Trumbull Town court yesterday, the case was placed in the hands of the Fairfield County Health authorities for investigation. Condi- lions at the Snow place are said to have been found in deplorable shape. and it was intimated today, that the authorities may exercise their lawful right to confiscate the cattle on the farm.
 When representatives of the Con necticut Humane society visited Shows place a few days ago, they found two pairs of horses quartered In a partly finished cellar, and poorly protected from the weather. The only food in sight for the animals consisted of potato peeiings and other garbage. A pig pen was found foul with Inire, and six small pigs had been trampled and smothered to death in the mud. |.
 A warrant was sworn out for Shows arrest. and he was taken into custody yesterday noon by Constable William R. Parks. When arraigned before Justice of the Peace Burr F. Beach. he was fined s5, and the case was turned over to the health authorities of the town and county for further action.
