FOOLISH
SECRET
BY Beatrice Fairfax
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


- 1 am writing you in behalf
of a friend of mine who is very
much worried.
This girl is % and her friend is
81. He believes she is a year
younger than himself. They are
to be married shortly and / have
been trying to convince the girl
il is right to tell her sweetheart
her correct age.
The girl Is afraid he will stop
loving her because she is older.
She thinks she can keep her real
age a secret even after marriage.
Will you be good enough to let
me have your view. The girl
has agreed to do as you advise.
CHARLOTTE NJ.
THE fact that your friend is
i q year older than her fiance
is of absolutely no importance, If
they are congenial in every other
way. l suggest that she tell him
the truth at once. If so simple a
fact as her seniority of one year
can change his love, it's not very
deep or dependable.
I'm sure she will find that he
regard the matter of her age as
unimportant. And she will be
happier for telling him the truth
rather than starting married life
with a lie.
