WINNING HIM

BY Beatrice Fairfax,

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

man some time ago whom liked
very much. For some reason we
stopped seeing each other. !
really don't know what happened,
but it seems to trouble me all the
time.
I think, perhaps. it was my
fault. Then again conclude he
just doesn't care. Would it be
correct to write Kim and ask him
what the trouble really is?
I've tried every possible way
to forget him, but it seems can't.
The young men T don't care for
are always calling me up, but the
one l love seems Sc hard to in
terest. Will you please advise me:
UNHAPPY.
4 SIX him to your home some
: = evening when you are having
one or two other young people in.
Make it point to be very sweet
to him. / hardly think l would
discuss gravely his having stayed
away. Don't make a great matter
of it. But let him see that you
appreciate his friendship.
OF course he may have become
interested in some other girl for
the moment. And as you're not
engaged you can't resent that in
any way. But you can in this
friendly, casual way show him
that you have not In any way
Intentionally hurt him. Don't be
sentimental, however. Let him
take the initiative in that.

Thousands of people have quickly

stored the original shade to their
hair with the remarkable prepara-
tion known as Kolor- Bak.
Physicians and scientists know
that gray hair is hair that has ceased
to receive its normal supply of
coloring matter or pigment from
certain tiny cells in the scalp be-
cause these cells have become in
active. No matter what the cause,
It is amazing to see how the gray
ness disappears when Kolor-Bak is
used. 1t is the best known substi-
tute for the natural fermentation.

the fact that it takes more than
love and taxi to get a man to
his wedding on time and In

The best man" usually has
to supply the courage, the pres
ence of mind, the boutonniere
and the ring for the bridegroom.
He lends his moral support. his
blessing. his gloves and his flask.
His continual reassurances. re-
minders and ''bracers" are as
necessary to the bridegroom's
presence and morale as are the
bouquets to the bridesmaids.
And all this he does in
cause for which he has no SYM
pathy and very little patience.
For, ,eyen while he cheers him
on, he secretly regards the bride

pities him from the depths Of
his shirt-bosom.
Nothing but chivalry and his
sense of honor sustains him; ne
feels in duty bound to produce
the guilty party at the vestry
door and see the poor simp'

as he would deliver an intoxi-
Gated pal at his wife's doorstep.
BUT-there Is where he wants
to wash his hands Of the whole

to normalcy and his office desk,
