ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN |
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Refuses Him Love.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Through a series Of circum.
stances, which commenced dur
ing war time, and after three
years of ordinary friendship,
suddenly found myself madly in
love with a young lady, my sis
ter's friend. We had been to-
gether frequently and enjoyed
each others company very well.
She went with me whenever I
asked her to go, and showed every
sign of caring for me, but when
told her of my love, she
claimed that her feelings for me
did not correspond with mine
toward her.
Because I was almost certain
that she did care for me. could
not leave her. There were very
unhappy meetings between u.s.
which finally ended in her being
obliged to go away.
Though over a year has passed
since she came back, yet we are
no nearer than before. am
laughed at by folk and friends
for ever thinking of her, but
I still love her very much. Am
I so very foolish for still caring
for her? H. w.
MY dear boy, why waste your
energies and your fine mind
on something that Is not meant
for you, and that probably would
not mean much to you if you had
1t? Find congenial work and
throw yourself into it and so
work off your energy. Take a
lot of exercise and make it your
business in life to think OF what
lies ahead If you just are man
enough to forge toward 1t. Don't
talk about this girl, don't see
her and don't permit yourself to
think Of her. You have let your
self get into a rut. NOW, make
yourself realize that you are
strong enough to get out. You
will find 1t very interesting
thing to master yourSeif-a task
worth doing thoroughly. I'm sure
that if you throw all your forces
into the work of the day and
stop Inducing in morbid thought
about a girl you will make some
thing Of your life, and when you
are successful you Will rlno
a partner far more suited to you
than the girl on whom you We
happened to place the mantle or
your dreams. Try my prescrlp-
ton for one month and then write
me for another.

Thrilling and Gripping Serial of Married Life From the
Pen of Successful American
Novelist

Sullenness and silence followed.
She would not speak to him and
when he came near her she
pushed him away. She would
have nothing to do with him for
the few days her displeasure lasted.
He saw her whispering with her
mother, and inwardly his resent
ment burned, but his determine
ton remained mistaken and
every night he locked the door.
He Joins a Club.
When the football season COM
menced, Philips interest was keen
ly aroused. Lansing persuaded
him to join the Reliance Athletic
Club. His ability as football
player was so we'll known that his
membership in the club was an as
set and therefore his initiation fee
was RENTED. He filled his old po-
sition as tackle on the Reliance
team and fiercely enjoyed the
games on Saturday afternoons with
the California and Stanford 'varsi-
ties at Central Park. Marjorie
came to watch him play, but her
interest began to fade after the
novelty of his participation pass
ed away. Once or twice her school
friend, Virginia Parsons, accompa-
MED her, but Virginia and other
girl friends had more interesting
engagements for Saturday, after
moons and preferred to attend foot
ball contests-when they went at
all-with male escorts. Marjorie
did not care to go alone, and after
a while did not &C at all. She had
no sympathy with Philips interest
in the game; she resented the two
evenings a week it took him to the
gymnasium of the Reliance Club
to practice signals, and more par
ticularly did she object to the ex-
pense of this diversion, in the mat
ter of his small monthly dues and
the outlay for football regalia.
Football became eventually a sub
ject of serious disagreement be-
tween them. and Philip would have
willingly given up the game and
resigned from the club had it not
involved disrupting the team in
the middle of the season.
Sundays were always happy days
for them botn. He and Marjorie
spent them out at the Cliff House,

WHITE FROCK
FOR SUMMER

W AVE you ever considered
what a good summer in

tune is? Especially If your ward
robe is limited, you will find that
If you have one good all-white
costume, whether it be one
piece frock or a sport suit, you
can change 1t considerably by
choosing gay colored hats, shoes
and accessories.
One clever girl chose a skirt
Of white Roshanara crepe finely
pleated and topped it by a JAG
quette blouse Of the same ma
terial. With this costume she
wore red sandals and a white
wraparound turban, finished with
a red ornament in the front.
Then she had a smart sport
hat of yellow felt, in a mush-
room shape, bound in grosgrain
ribbon and finished in the front
with a smart little rlDDOn DOW.
She wore this lovely yellow hat
with the white sport suit, and
carried a bag in yellow MORE.

Perhaps you prefer a simple
one-piece frock of all white can
ton crepe. There are some at
tractive little chemise models
with pleated frills and flouncas
that are smart. One frock has Il
double flounce, of pleated ma
terial, set on a little below the
hips. The neck and sleeves are
banded and set on with hem
stitching. A string girdle Of the
material is used.

She was defeated for the moment.
but she knew how to retaliate.
Mrs. Grotenberg who had wit
messed this scene made motions
of silent applause across the table
after Mrs. Jones had quilted the
room. Philip was still too angry
to acknowledge the friendly COM

that Mrs. Grotenberg's presence
had not made his mother-in.law's
discontinue any more palatable
to her.
That night Marjorie attacked
him upon the subject.

Philip gave her his reason in
his honest fashion.
Mama doesn't like it. I can't
see the sense Of 1t myself"
AS this called for no answer,
Philip said nothing.
But why, Phil? II Mama
doesn't like it locked? After all,
this house belongs to her, and
she has a right to say what ought
to be done in 1t. Connie and 1
