BEATRICE BURTONS NEW SERIAL DEFENDS easy MODERN GIRL
BY Helen FoIlett.

Not particularly remote II the
time when puritanlcal ladies con-
sidered face powder sinful. They
believed that the undimmed nose
surface was shining evidence OF
about that is that II they hadn't
been so good, they would have
been better.
A woman powders her nose
when she is worried, when she
Is happy, when she Is Matching
up some little plot. and when she
Is doing nothing else at all. Nose
powdering is a form Of emotional
expression. The dull finish gives
q look OF repose; the shiny sur
face suggests exhaustion and q

q woman doesn't care whether or
not her nose shines, life has her
beaten She's through!

GARDENERS
TIPS

Beds for rhododendrons should
be excavated to a depth of about
foot, and the excavation filled
with mixture OF three-fifths
humus and two-fifths good topsoil.
The plants should be set about
one inch lower than they were
previously planted. The depth may
be determined by observing the
earth collar. This allows for set.
ting of the soil. 1t is essential
that they should not be planted
too deeply.
Then soak with water thor
oughly and cover over the bed
with a mulch of hardwood leaves
like oak. This mulch should be
renewed annually and allowed to
remain throughout the year, as it
keeps the ground cool in summer
and warm in winter and serves
to protect the rhododendrohs from
extremes Of temperature. From

Famous Author
On Problems
of Love
By Beatrice Fairfax

BY Beatrice Fairfax
MY correspondent who signs
AVA herself Puzzled" Is not any
more puzzled than hundreds Of
ether girls who have written me
On the subject that is troubling
her-necking!
Here is her letter:
"Dear Miss Fairfax:
Before I began to have dates
with fellows. I resolved that /
wouldn't neck with any OF them.
II carried out my resolution
and to my surprise / soon found
myself staying at home every
night with nothing to do and no
place to go.
'Then my family moved. This
time / resolved that IL necking
was the price of a good time ]
would neck. / started to Sunday
school and church and met the
incest bunch in the neighborhood,
but 1t was the same old story
they all necked. Now I'm used to
necking and don't mind 1t be-
cause all the fellows treat me
with courtesy and respect and
have a very good reputation.
The other day, / heard some-
one say that a fellow didn't
think much of a girl he could
neck with. That's the question I'd
like you to answer for me. IL a
fellow doesn't thing much Of a
girl he can neck with? how can
I go about finding a boy who
doesn't want to neck. ] thank
you in advance for your advice"
You will find it true every.
where. my dear, that women, not
men, set the standards. Some
men may like to pet. yet they
usually will not respect the girl
who permits it. When man is
out just for pleasure. he may
invite a girl who will permit
petting, but when he is thinking
seriously about love and MAJ.
raige he prefers mo" girl, be-
cause IL she has courage to re-
fuse to neck with one man he
believes she will refuse others
also--all others save the one
lucky man whom she will. marry.
The sad part of this state of
affairs for girls who like to be
on the "go" constantly, is that
the lax girl may be invited out
oftener, but the girl who is
particular and hard to win. is
the girl who is usually chosen
when 1t comes to marriage, by
the worthwhile man. These
facts may or may not be pleas
ant but they are facts.
So 1t all depends on what you
want from life-surface good
times even II they are bit
tawdry or reserve, dignity. self
respect and the peace Of lasting
love and marriage.
You ask me, my dear, where
you can find a boy who does not
like to pet. My reply is they all
do, yet the man you would wish
to marry, wishes for his wife
girl who has enough character,
will power and common sense
not to pet promiscuously. There
are many such girls-I hear from
them consta ntly, assuring me that
they have good times and are well
liked without necking. Such girls
possibly have sufficient wit and
charm. or sweetness and demure-.
ness to win out without com.
promise.
am not going to decide for
any girl the question Of whether
she shall neck. am merely going
to suggest that she listen to her
own finest, best self and act
accordingly.
