Noted Authority
Gives Advice
to Girls
By Beatrice Fairfax
An Authority on the Problems Of
Love and Marriage

Love and Marriage
This Is the day Of $3.50 mar
etages. And now $3.50 friendships
between young men and girls are
being suggested.
Al recent contributor to this col
Nnnn, in letter signed Equal
Rights. = declared that If Dutch
treats were in order when girl
and young man went about to-
gether- that is, IL it were the Gus
tom for each to pay his or her
own way-both girls and young
men would have better times and
make more congenial friendships.
Equal Rights argued that there
Is no longer any reason why
young men should foot all the
bills, since most girls earn very
good salaries nowadays.
Her letter brought out conflict
Ing views.
Dear Miss Fairfax writes
Irene. II wish to express decided
disapproval Of the suggestion made
BY Equal Rights. Her plan would
only take all the romance out OF
life and encourage q lot Of cheap
skates.
Equal Rights claims that II her
suggestion were adopted, girls
would not have to sit at home
signing for dates, nor feel obliged
"a nay for q evenings entertain
naent with cheap kisses. Again
she IS wrong. Any girl VINO would
not prefer 4 lonely evening to an
unwilling date or cheap kisses is
not the kinL. or girl q gentleman
wants. do believe, however, that
girls should not expect to go out
All the time, but should entertain
1T their own homes occasionally.
Constant Reader has this to
say: was very much interested
in the Dutch treat article. For
young lady to pay her own ex-
penses when a young man is es-
corting her, according to my ideas,
clneapens the young man and
ma kes him feel very embarrassed.

SMELLS LIKE
BREAD


Discovery has been made in Ger
nnany Of extracting furfuroI from
illurninating gas. The chemical
product Is used In tins lllanufac-
ture OF artificial jewelry, .acquers
and dyes for leather. For the vul-
canization Of rubber, furfurol has
become Indispensable and it Is also
extensively used Tor the manufac-
ture of dye-stuffs of various kinds.
Recently successful attempts have
been made to use furfurol for
medical purposes. Experts max
ing these tests assert that 1t is q
perfect substitute for anesthetics
ike ether and chIoroforIn. The
product Is colorless fluid which
evaporates slowly and gives a
great heat when burned. Its smell
resembles fresh rye bread.

What tangles and nlix-ups girls
manage to get into by feeling they
can have only one friend at time

You girls feel quite justified In
cultivating the friendship Of any

congenial. Why should you not
feel equally free to cultivate the
companionship of congenial young
men?

~ What IS q Soul kiss
What's the difference, Il you
please. between it and another
kiss? r,,,,r,r
'Soul,' according to the diction-
airy, is incorporeal, 50 it can have
nothing whatsoever to do with
kiss, which is very much Of the
body. For this reason, ''soul-kiss"
is q contradiction Of terms and
an absurdity.
A kiss may be hearty or neart-
with the soul. The kiss is or
should be. natural expression Of
love, but not in any sense OF the
soul. SO when folks talk about a
