You will meet Nora as the central
character in I'VE Sing Diana" by
Wanda Fraiken Neff and published
by Houghton Mifflin Company.
Nora in this story protected her
self against the world and men by
building up mental dome of the
most tremendous size. She denied
herself of sex expression, physical
as well as mental. Nora built up
grand mental wall against every
thing and everybody.
Nora while young in school, re-
fused to have moonlight parties of
any nature with girls of certain
type. She closed her eyes to life.
While in school, she saw young
girls go the wrong way in sex as
well as knowledge. She saw good
girls while at school and in real life
do the dutch act" For why?
And SO Nora, the chief character
in this lengthy study, jams her head
full of knowledge. That she is sure
will give her security against life.
But Nora protected by her books
and her active mind had to step out
in life. She saw wrecks here and
there even while at school. She did
not understand. She had no SYM
pathy.
She saw men and women reach
the peak of material success. She
saw her class mates marry and en-
joy life. But she noticed one day
that in life men and women were
revolving against both success and
failure.
And that is probably the keynote
of this strange story of woman
who revolted against woman's
world as expressed in womanS
college.
Nora could not shut her eyes to
life. Even when she became a
noted teacher at the college for
women, Nora failed utterly to keep
something within herself from re-
voting against decency.
Nora had been decent all her life.
She knew right from wrong. She
studied to shut out life. One day
in London when the head of de-
partment in a woman's college in
America, Nora met a married man.
This man was an officer in the
army of that country. He was tired
and lonely. And he was married
but his wife wasn't present. In fact
he was i'll and the doctor had told
him that he couldn't live long.
And so he broke down the bar
rier for Nora. She lived with him
for two weeks on a large English
estate, There she saw The sunshine
of lifetas she thought.
And one day when the sun was
the brightest, the man died. And

so Nora took the body of her man
to his best male friend in England
and departed for America before
the wife arrived.
Nora found that she was mentally
changed. On arriving in America
she became the dean of the college
for women. Nora kept her secret.
One day, when Nora instituted re-
forms in the student body, she
recognized life as it is.
One of the students was to be-
come mother without a wtdding
ring. She didn't love the fellow in
the case.
And so Nora, knowing life, saw to
it that the youngster came into the
world right. There was no scandal
because Nora adopted the baby.
And so an old maid, Nora. kept
her secret while she reared the
child and taught hundreds of girls
not to fear life.
And that is Nora who did not be-
come frightened when she knew
life.
You may not like Nora but she
revolted.

Love Authority
Gives Advice
to Girls
BY Beatrice Fairfax
An Authority on Problems of Love
and Marriage

ana MhtfldBe
A FAMOUS foreign critic has
A stated that American girls
miss much of the happiness of life
because each girl wants to occupy
the center Of the spotlight, TO
be the most popular, the most
beautiful, the most loved one. No
one ii content to play second:fiddle.
OF course, not everyone can be
first. In an orchestra, I n
amounts to anything. there must
be second as well as first fiddles.
Isn't 1t rather q pity to refuse
TO Join in the harmony, miss good
times when they come along ana
make yourself wretched because
you do not receive quite as many
invitations as some friend, or be-
cause a young man who likes you
also likes another girl2
OF course when 1t comes to mar
rage, that is a different matter.
Al wife knows she is her husband :
first choice She is not second
fiddle. Al fiancee rightly expects
to come first in the love and de-
votion of the man she has prom
ised to wed. But there are occasions
when even loved bride, il she IS
wise and clever, cheerfully plays
second fiddle for the moment.
I am thinking Of an impulsive
young woman who, on her re-
turn from the hone eymoon, flew
into q tantrum because her newly
acquired husband put his arms
about his mother and kissed the
older woman.
You love your mother more
than you do me! she exclaimed,
bursting into tears.
1T is easy to see there were
storms ahead for that young
couple. But it is pleasant to add
that the young wife has learned
wisdom.
II love Dicks mother If only
because she gave me my Dick,
she assured me the other day.
II am glad he is loyal to her.
the same trait Of loyalty will hold
him true to me and our home.
The more he loves his mother,
the happier it makes me"
The girl who writes me the let
ter am about to quote, is wor-
ried because she feels she is sec.
ond fiddle in the affections of the
Young man she loves. Possibly
has a difficult problem to solve.
