looking at him fixsdly.
The tiny blue electric spark
dancing in her eyes was known to
Michael. It has the look with
which silent women invite mas

his path as a conquering million

Michael felt he must say some-
thing at once to break the silent
charm of the beautiful witch who,
sure OF her final victory, was smil-
ing and blowing in his direction
puffs Of cigarette smoke. So
Michael alluded to her amorous
fame. to the great number Of
lovers she was supposed to have
had. He thought that might widen
the gap between them.
She remained silent q moment,
with her disturbing glance fixed
on Michael.
But how about your Do you

- And you are not 20 alb

The prince listened silently a.
she expounded her ideas. She
was deeply In love with life,
and In return she demanded all
that life could give her. -
The minds Of other women were
occupied with questions Of
material nature; desire for
wealth. longings for luxury. do

And now Alicia's elbows were
resting on his knees and their
lips and eyes were almost on the
same level. As she talked to
him he felt her breath on his
face. like the breeze in an Ash

the room. The spices and flow

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

modern flapper. but an old
fashioned girl with a desire for
a home and children.
I am engaged to a young man
one year my senior since June.
Our engagement was announced
properly to all our friends, but
not to his people. He said he
would tell them later. He Is
very fine young man and from
a fine family. whom l visit
often with him.
He is a school supervisor
with q steady position and more
than enough saved to start a
little home on, and we are sure
we love each other devotedly
and will be very happy together.
So we set our date ito be mar
ried on January 8, 1928, to
which he agreed readily but
asked me IL we couldn't keep 1t
secret until next June. This I
cannot do. I have spoken to
him many times about why he
does not tell his people we are
going to be married, but he
gives me no reason.
Can you tell me why, II he
loves me. he does not tell his
people. and why he does not
want to marry yet when he
knows that we have every rea-
son to marry and no reasons
not to marry. outside of the fact
that he knows that / am very
unhappy living the way I am,
without a home and love and
