Who Occupies a Unique Position In
the Writing World as an Authority
on the Problems of Love.

(ETVE been in and out Of love
half a dozen times in
u my life, which measures
twenty-seven years." writes Grace,
But I can't find any love that
will last long enough to sweep me
into marriage. Is it my fault,
do you suppose? Or are the men
of today so unreliable and trifling
that sensible woman can't hope
to find her mate?
81 have been working for ten
years, beginning at $12 a week,
now I make SIS. I've made good
at business; can't see why I don't
make good at love- I'm called
good looking, dress well, have a
happy nature, and dance well
enough, so I'm never a wall
flower. I like folks in general,
but no man in particular.
II can't say that any man has
ever given me q raw deal. But
we always seem to drift apart
by mutual consent before time
to let the wedding bells ring
out I'm happy at home and
happy at work, but I would like
to find Mr.. Right and get the
thrill of love and loving. Right
this minute two splendid chaps
are showing me attention, but I
don't take them seriously and
don't think they want me to.
Yet I know I'm missing something.
"How do you think l can find
It? Is the fault in my own nature
or is it in the men I meet? They
all look like possible husbands
until I begin to know them-and
then they don't measure up Why
doesn't some man make me care
so ] won't be able to stand off
and criticize him and lose all the
romantic feelings he called up at
first?"
A practical woman like Grace
a woman who has made good at
her work-can't swing right
around and turn herself into
totally different woman when it
comes to the most important bust
ness Of life-that of choosing her
mate, her life-partner.
Suppose, instead of looking for
a possible husband" you start
looking for q 'congenial friend.
You didn't jump from your $12
a week to SIS. You grew to it.
and when you try to jump into the
middle Of romance, all your in
herent caution and practically
blocks your way.

FINDING RIGHT MAN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

You have been shopping
around" for the man who would
measure up to your standards,
but instead of studying men, you
have been dashing off after a
will-o -the-wisp thing you call
love. And what you have been
dealing Win is propapIy nothing
more than fascination.
You want a man to thrill"
you, to command your devotion,
to win your respect and to fulfill
all your demands. But you have
been thinking of getting. And
getting" has nothing to do with
love. Love yearns to give.
Instead of looking for the man
who can make you happy, sup
pose you start trying to make
some good friend happy. Begin
to study q man tenderly and un-
derstandingly and with the de-
sire to offer him the best and
finest friendship of which you
are capable. :. This will call out
the best in a fine man. 1t will
also inspire your own best.
You wouldn't work in a posi-.
ton which did not interest YOU,
offer you chance to progress,
and give you the opportunity to
use your ability. Probably you
can't make a lasting interest in a
man for whom you have not the
same large constructive attitude
you have toward your work.
Emotion may dazzle young,
untried eyes which have seen
little of life. But you know
values. Emotion alone won't
hold you.
Instead of demanding a wild
emotional adventure, start find
ing the way to fire loyalty and
friendship. You are capable of
a big, tender, earnest love.
Don't scatter your forces, don't
spend your energies on every
man you come across. Don't
imagine that being popular at
dances and having a long list of
admirers is the way to love.
Inspire the men you meet with
the fire and ferrvor of your big
feelings. Steady them with your
sanity. Study them intelligently.
Build friendship and devotion,
and suddenly you will find that
the divine spark has been kindled
and that it burns steadily because
you have given it real fuel-not
Just shavings and twigs te-burn.
Woman gets what she asks for
from men. And you have been
asking for some miracle of impell-
ing devotion. But unless you
earn it, win it, make yourself
worthy OF it-how can it happen?

SPORT.COATS
IN STYLE
BY Rita Stuyvesant

II" HE entire fashion world
is playing in sports
coats this winter" so
says a fashion authority, and
this means that every smart
woman will need one to be cor
rect in her dress.
Striped fabrics with wonderful
soft tones have taken a prominent
place in the sports world, and
show themselves in attractive
coats.
One striped model shows the
pencil silhouette, and Is cut on
long, straight lines. The coat is
e wrap-around model with a deep
collar that buttons close about
the throat. The collar, cuffs and
big pockets are cut with the
stripes running crosswise, while
the rest of the coat is made on
the length of the material. A
deep mauve with stripes of soft
henna is used. but one finds any
number of smart combinations.
The coat is lined and interlined
for warmth.
Another striped model is made
on the cross section Of the mate
rial. allowing the stripes to run
around. This model is also a
wraparound and has deep patch
pockets and long flare sleeves.
a fur collar of wolf adds be-
coming warmth.
Plaids and undertones are also
favored for the new long sport
coat, and there are coatings with
wonderful color schemes. Almost
all of these top coats favor the
wrap-around pencil silhouette and
have a collar that can be worn
open gracefully or buttoned close
about the throat.
The younger set, however, still
favors the polo coat of camel's
hair cloth, and coats of this type
are wonderfully well tailored. A
new London model shows four
patch pockets with buttoned flap,
two above the belt and two below.
Many Of the best shops are fea.
turing these coats.
