Why Doesn't He Propose
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

IL
~ 1 am twenty.one and have
been going with a man of twenty
five for three years. seeing him
every Saturday night. What
puzzles me most is that he tells
me he loves me, but never pro-
poses. AS he gives me no cause
to think there are any other girls
he takes out just don't know
what course to take.
He owns a machine and can
reach my home in ten minutes,
so if he really loved nae he would
want to be with me more often.
I love him and don't want to
give bin. UP. DISCOURAGED.
DoSSIBLY financial difficulties
i prevent him from proposing
marriage. Or he may be very
shy. In any case, however, you
would be foolish to give him too
much of your thoughts and in
terest, since after taking up your
time for three years he has not
proved his love by asking you 10
be his wife.
Keep him on your list OF friends
but don't take his friendship TOO
seriously. And be sure to interest
yourself in and go about with
other young men.

And she becomes bewildered in
her efforts to give her skin the
proper care.
It often happens that a very
thin, delicate skin cannot stand
the average cold cream, yet re-
quires softening, cleansing oils.
When all is said and done this
delicate skin reacts better to the
simple cleansing of olive oil, or
olive and sweet almond oil with
a drop or two of benzoin added,
than to the most elaborate beauty
formula.
I suggest that il your skin is
in unsatisfactory condition despite
your every effort, you try the ef-

your neck, face and ears well with
it; then remove the residue with

we were fortunate enough to see
this particular frog making his

Is 1t my place to offer her one

we like each other we'll enough
