Make Yourself Interesting
,EAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Please help me out I am a
girl OF II. NV friends say l am
not bad looking, yet / have no
boy friends. Other girls tell me
about their dates and good times
and have to stay home with
only my dreams for company.
Please tell me what you think Is
the matter. / dance, take part
in school activities and can hold
a conversation. ] would appre-
ciate an answer as soon as pos
sible. LONESOME.
Make yourself more interesting
to girls and young men. That,
frankly, is the answer to your
problem, my dear.
Do you make an effort to
amuse and entertain young people
you meet? Do you talk to them
about themselves and try to
make them realize that they are
interesting and attractive to you?
Also, of course, see to it that
you are always daintily groomed
and neatly. becomingly dressed.
Just try this plan and see If it
doesn't work.
What DO You Think?
Some believe in divorce, others
do not. But l do not know Of
any religion or philosophy that
tustifies a woman in continuing
to live with a man who beats and
in general ill-uses her, and is an
influence that drags down wife,
home and children.
What do you think, dear reader?
DO you believe that the writer
of the following letter would be
justified in separating from her
husband?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
"I have been married IA years

struck me time and time again
and called me vile names in the
presence of our five children.

keeps his word.
THE children are now able to
take care of themselves-able to
get along. The environment of

gar language and does unspeak-
able things, is only A blight on
their future.

1t is proper for girls of Is to
do as their parents wish. when
it comes to companionship % boys

mothers the questions YOU nave

Besides, you are legally obliged
to follow their instructions until
you are of age.
Nearly all modern parents
agree, however, that girls and
boys need each others friendship

to have them meet at properly

10 RULES FOR
HOSTESS

Here are ten commandments
for the hostess who would dine
impressively and correctly:
/. Never start the day off with
a sloppy breakfast table.
Q. IL a colored damask cloth is
used, be sure the glass and china
harmonic.
s.. In using candles for table
decoration. remember they should
be used only after dark.
4. Always arrange your flat
sterling so it can be used from
outside in.
S. 1t IS essential for correct
dining to have the damask cloth
straight on the table.
s. Never overload the table.
Rather have too little than too
much.
I. Always have the hostess
served first. 1t is an age-old
custom.
s. Use solid damask cloth If
possible. Husbands grow tired of
the bare lunch counter effect.
g. To give the best appearance
to your table linen, press it first
on the right side, then on the
wrong.
10. whether the occasion de-
mand formal or informal
setting. remember the paramount
object is to obtain a table which
is discreetly and appetizingly
beautiful To obtain this result
complete table harmony must be
preserved.

GOVERN YOUR
TEMPER
BY Lucy Lowell

CGVXTHOM the gods would de-
w stroy," goes an old pro
verb. a'.hey first make mad.
That is. whom the gods wish
out of the way they anger and
so allow him to destroy himself
For 1t is not superhuman intel.
ligence which destroys: 1t is the
blind. uncontrolled force one
holds within himself and allows
to take possession Of his own
intelligence which is destructive.
An unintelligent force; for no
raging emotion ever is intelligent.
Read the truth as put down
by st. Mark:
"Do ye not perceive that what
soever thing from without en-
tereth into man it cannot de-
file him that w h Ic h
defileths him, for from within,
out of the heart of man pro-
ceed evil thoughts MUIR
ders, thefts. covetousness. wick
edness, deceit, pride, foolishness:
all these evil things come from
within and defile the man"
Thus the gods. or what the
gods stood for when the proyerb
was written. have no power to
destroy. But, being cunning.
they manage TO rouse in man
such noisome things as he al
lows to lurk in his heart, and
these destroy.
The safeguard, obviously. IS
for the man to clear his heart
of all which might be destructive.
And this. of course, is a life
work.
"'If you would be revenged Of
your enemy, govern yourself,
said Benjamin Franklin. Which
is another way OF stating the
truth.
One who acts under compul-
sion of anger-and what fantas-
tic things anger will make one
do!-alwafs lives to regret.

Breaking a Friendship

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
| am a girl of is, have been
going with a boy of my own age
for nine months.
He is very nice and refined.
He and have been talking
little of marriage. We planned
to get married when we were Is.
A few months ago went out
with him and we met young
man, seven years older than we
are. AS my friend does not
dance, the other young man asked
me to dance with him, and
did so. This made my friend
angry. We have not been on
speaking terms since.

next time. / see him?
Shall | tell him | am sorry,
and that / would like his friend
ship again?
He told his chum the other
day that I was the first and only
girl he ever cared for. Do you
think he really means it?
hope you will tell me what
to do. 1 am a daily reader Of
your column. UNHAPPY I.
Ignore the petty jealousy of
your friend and treat him pleas
antly whenever you see him.

speak first. you know, signifying
in this way that you wish to con.
tinue the acquaintance.
You did not do wrong in dane
ing once or twice with the older
man. although l hope You did not
ignore the boy who was your
escort. If you were rude to him,
explain that you are sorry.
Doubtless, your young friend Is
genuinely fond of you. You are
both too young. of course, to think
seriously of love. So continue to
enjoy his friendship, and also that
of other nice boys you know.
