An Unfair Fiance.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ l have been going about
with a young man for two years
and engaged for one year. In
all this time he has never taken
me to visit his family and every
time speak to him about. it he
makes all sorts OF excuses.
What do you think?
ANXIOUS.
THE mans family ought to call
- on his fiancee. If your en-
gagement is public they must
know Of It. Even If they disap-
prove, they cannot refuse to meet
the girl who is to be their sons
wife unless there is some very
good reason why he should not
marry. Your parents ought to
look into this matter. It is un-
reasonable and unfair.

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
by Beatrice Fairfax
The Selfish Admirer.

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX.
I am twenty-nine and going
about with a man of thirty. He
claims that he loves me a great
deal, but that he would never
marry me. He earns $40 per
week. and only gives me a
present at Christmas. He takes
me to the movies on Saturday
and that is the only place he
takes me. He is very close.
Should 1 give him UP? NJ. B.
THE man is selfish and stingy,
- according to your own judg-
ment and knowledge. What hap
piness does he offer you? Think
what it would be to marry a man
for whom you have so many I'M
pleasant reactions. You will be
happier if you put such a useless
relationship out of your life.
