ADVICE TO THE IOVEIORN By
Famous Author
On Problems
of Love
BY Beatrice Fairfax

Dear. Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl OF IL. l have been
going with very fine young man
10 years my senior for the past
seven months. He has asked me to
marry him.
At times / am wild about him
and other times ] am just the OPP
posite. DO you think IL would be
wise to marry him when feel
this way?
Do you think he is too old
for me?
Do you think 1 know whether I
love him or not. ] know he would
be very good to me. thank you
very much for your advice.
blonde.
l can't answer your question,
Blonde, without Knowing more
about you and the man who wishes
to marry you. Are you ready to
settle down to the monotony of
married life, ready to give up good
times with girls and boys of your
age? Can you endure the thought
sof his companionship every day of
your life? Would there he danger
of your falling in love later with
younger man?
My own suggestion is wait two
years before you decide to marry
anyone. You will then be old
enough to understand better what
you really want and whether you
are in love. If your friend loves
you. he will wait for you. This
period of waiting viii be a gcod
test of love for both Of you.

when accompanied by q short jer-

gerie touches, intricate goring and
odd jacket sleeves are decorative
details.
Rising to the occasion, waist.
coats have established themselves
as an integral part of the tailored
mode. Although generally sleeve
less, they sometimes display little
cap sleeves. They have complete
backs and are full enough to blouse

Polka dots poke their noses
even into milady's stationery.
Dainty note paper Of the grossamer
variety has its envelopes lined with
colorful tissue studded with white
polka dots. The Innings come in
pretty shades of blue, green, tan
and rose.
Keeping inside border limits,
handkerchief designs concentrate
themselves on the edges and pay
scant attention to the centers. Scat.
tered designs are spread out along
the borders and are taken from
geometric figures, flowers or odd
pieces of scenery. These border de.
signs add a charming touch Of
color to a white hanlSie.

Official Period of Mourn

! The judicial branch of
the Federal Government is
apparently not taking so
seriously the official mourn

late Secretary Of War, Mr..
Good.
This 30-day period will
not expire until December
18. Practical all of the en-

place during this interval by
Cabinet ministers, members
of the Diplomatic Corps and
other ranking officials have
been postponed or Cancelled.

Taft will entertain a dlstl1-

Mrs. Keep was Miss Florence

has had long period of friend

Mrs. Taft accepts numerous
invitations for lunc h e N

it often seems as if she, for

We were sorry to hear of the
death of Mrs Emmett Adrian. We

community might well feel proud.
We noticed what the wielder of
the White Pigeon pencil had to say
in regard to gathering of those
who are making the Morgan County
Democrat. In our travels we have
met at least a majority of those
who write haps, as well as the mis-
haps. of their respective neighbor-
hoods. If such a gathering meets
with approval, why not make Mr..
Durbin committee on time and
place, and then tell him if his date
suits us. We feel we can go at any
