MARRYING
WITHOUT LOVE
by Beatrice Fairfax

NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am prompted to write to
you. inasmuch as I feel that a
word or two from you may do mo
good.
/ am young woman Of thirty,
and at the present time am en-
ployed as bookkeeper, having sup
ported myself. as well as mother
and father. for the past ten years.
Well, this is my sad story: 1
have never gone out with young
men friends, although I am con-
sidered quite good-looking. Most
of my time has been spent at
home reading and going out &C.
casionally with girl friends.
Recently met a young man
who has fallen in love with me
and has asked me to marry him.
He is q very decent young man
and well fixed financially, but 1
do not love him. At about the
same time I met another young
man and have been seeing him
at an average Of three times a
week
have fallen desperately in
love with this second acquaint-
ance. Although he loves me, he
has told me that he will never
be in a position to get married.
He has not stated his reasons
and did not question him.
If / give up the first young
man, 1 am sure will never
meet anybody else. On the other
hand, 1 cannot give up the other
man. RESPONDENT.
UEEP both young men for
friends. This you can do, for
it is not necessary to be In love
with every young man who calls
on you. AS you get better &C.
quainted with the first young
man you mention in your letter,
you may grow more fond Of him.
Give yourself a chance to re-
spect and love him by becoming
better acquainted.
The second young man is out
of the question except as a casual
friend, since he has told you
plainly that he will not marry.
So don't give him much of your
time or think too seriously about
him.
Whatever you do, be sure not
to marry without love. Wait
rather until love comes. as it will
In all likelihood. A single life IL
preferable to Q l0veless marriage.

SOMETHING ABOUT DIANA.

But Diana had a lot to do be-

earth at night by the moon. Be-
cause she had three jobs-first to
see that the moon kept shining,
and in this office she was called
Luna.
Then, in Hades, she was called
Hecate, and ruled the souls Of
the dead.
Finally, on earth, her name
was Diana, and on earth she was
the queen of the forests and
mountains and of all wild animals
and last but not least, she pro-
tected all hunters.

mentioned to him that hoped to
move away to the country for the
summer, but not in a way to lead
him to believe that the change
was imminent.
Aside from my desire to get into
the country, it has been agreed
between us to split UP anyway,
due to the insistence Of his fiancee
that he change his place of abode.
This attitude on her part had
been brought about by the fact
that Ruth, accompanied by an

A Recognized Authority on All

TIHE careful housekeeper is
likely to find a problem in
her cereal boxes and cans with
the approach of warm weather.
The problem is easily identified
as weevils. which first infest those
cereals that have been on hand
for some time. Unfortunately,
one weevil food leads to many
others. The weevils are migratory
in their habits and delight in ex-
ploring all containers and pack
ages that are not absolutely tight.
The first signs Of the migra-
ton are the Matching of worms
or larvae from the eggs deposited
by the weevils on their visit. All
grains, seeds, granular cereals
and flour are likely to serve as a
center of interest for the wander
ing tribes. Even flour-filled
cracks and crevices Of otherwise
empty boxes or bins may serve
their purpose,
The only way out Of the diff
Guilty is to destroy all infested
food materials promptly and
thoroughly wash and scald the
containers before a new supply
is stored. It is even necessary
to clear the Shelves and clean the
walls of all cupboards where
cereals have been stored. All sup
plies should be examined care.

place.
During the spring and summer
months it is wise to keep very
small amounts of cereal prod
ucts on hand and to use up
each package as promptly as pos
sible and before buying more.

that If l ever went there to live

On making inquiries about cot

express agent, and it developed
that he had two-room furnished
summer cottage on his place in
the woods. about one-quarter mile
from his own home. His descrip-
ton or this cottage sounded at

red woods past the old decayed
mill after which Mill Valley was
