Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am a girl Of twenty and in love
with a young man who is not of the
same religion as mine. / know he
loves me dearly and I am sure !
could never get along without him. IL
l marry him my parents say that they
will disown me. VIII you please tell
me what is best to do. DlSNY.
Think long and well before you
decide 70 marry against the wishes of
your parents. They are older than
you, so their judgment is better and
you know they love you and have
your interest at heart.
At twenty you can afford to wait a
year or two before becoming engaged.
Meantime, remain just good friends
with the young man.
Has he tried in every way to win
the regard and confidence of your
parents? If they learn to know him
well they might feel that. despite the
difference in religious belief, he is n
man and can make you happy as your
husband.

There can be no possible objection
in your calling ~ the young man
while you arc in his Nome town and
telling him that you are there for a
few weeks or days, as the case may
be. and would like to have him call on
you during your stay. Or write him
note inviting him to call If you
prefer.
Dent make a great point Of his not
having written. Speak OF it rather
casually. After all, many men and
women are poor correspondents. And
you two are not engaged, but only
good friends.

THEY VOTE TO STAY WRONG!

I AYMEN think law and justice synoyn-
IL nous, Lawyers know better. Witness
recent eases in point contained in last
weeks state supreme court decisions.
In two cases, one bearing on contracts
to buy and sell real estate. and the other
on contracts to buy and sell personal prop
erty, the supreme court, by majority vote,
upheld its former remarkable position on
two rather ancient principles of law.
In the one case the court holds as its
rule of law on real estate contracts the
following:
Purchasers under an exeeutory con-
tract of sale of real estate do not acquire
any title, legal or equitable, nor any inter-
est, legal or equitable, in property covered
by the contract"
In the second case the court maintains
its position on conditional sales contracts
as follows:
''We have consistently held no title
whatever passes under conditional sales
contract of personal property and that the
relation of debtor and creditor is not
created
T INDER the supreme courts position, in
~ short, the man buying real estate. no
matter how much he may have paid on
the agreed price, hasn't any rights IN the
premises until he has made his final pay
ment and obtained a deed. Filing of his
contract to buy doesn't cloud the title one
iota; for the court holds he has no inter-
est, legal or equitable. And, in case the
seller decides to deed the property to
another, there is nothing to stop him, All
the purchaser has then is right to sue
for breach of contract to sell.
Chief Justice Tolman, in dissenting
opinion, is himself the severeSt critic of
the courts present attitude on realty con-
tracts, and his position in the case decided
last week-Ashford VS.. Resets that also
of Justices Parker and Bridges. Tolman,
among other things, points out that:
Ii the purchaser has no interest in the
property, what has he been paying his
money for?
If recording of the contract means
nothing, the purchaser finds himself in the

"NI0ST Americans of Puritan stock,

Most of Marks greatness is comprised

Grafton which Mr. VIM. Shakespeare put
into his mouth and Marks super-idiocy
in connection with that Egyptian WOMAN

to have been freckled. near-back, red

Mark largely dissipated, on flappers and

father, one Cornelius Lentulus Sura
What Mark didn't do to the gay life even
a Lieutenant Wood couldn't have shown
him, and later, like young Wood, he fled
the country leaving large army of weep
ing creditors on the dock behind him.
Greece took him to her bosom, being at
that time cashing anybody's checks, and
lis said, that the only thing in Athens
which he neglected to paint vermillion
was the statue of Minerva, which he
couldn't climb Later, he came under the
influence of julius Caesar and was ac-
credited some greatness in war and poll
