ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Look on the Bright Side

To love one whom, because Of
a physical defect, it Is deemed
unwise to marry. is the unhappy
fate Of Worried"
Dear Miss Fairfax" she writes.
IT am 81 years of age and am
in love with a man Of 80. About
six years ago he was in an acct
dent, which injured his forehead.
This happened on the left side.
and now a bone is out.
He was taken to a hospital
and given up for lost, but he re-
covered. The doctor said he
might go crazy any day, but he
was not sure of it. For that
reason my parents object to our
marriage. He asked me to elope,
which l refused to do. tried
all could to keep the real reason
from him, but some one told
him, which hurt his feelings very
badly.
He left soon after and stayed
away all winter. He came back
early in the spring and never men
toned 1t any more. He cares
for me and / love him very much.
but We dare not show it. When he
is round, my mother watches us
very closely and sees that we are
never left alone. Please give me
your advice. for which I will be
very grateful. WORRIED"
Love is so precious and so sweet
that it is sad. indeed, when two
love and are in every other way
suitable, are separated because Of
the i'll health or physical defect OF
one of the two. Yet the fact re-
mains, it is folly and a menace
to life as well as happiness, to
marry one who has a serious, in
durable defect, especially II the
defect is likely to endanger others.
But one thing I would do, II
were you, my dear. Talk the mat
ter over frankly with the man who
loves you and with his physician.
Rumors are so exaggerated; you
may find from his physician that
there is not the slightest danger

telling her ever since she had
promised to marry him.
But once more it had its effect
on Ann Marie.

that" she cried softly. You know

You know / love you, and I'd

She came to him and laid her
hands on his shoulders and kissed
him.
He kissed her back. but he did
it quickly as if his heart was not
in it.

They made wild "whoopee" all
over the place until midnight
when the janitor came upstairs in
his bath-robe and broke up the
party.
Don't you hate to have Leota
Ingram in the same crowd with

ANNUALFALL
CLEANUP

The first chilly days Of Oc-
tober remind us that the time
has come for us to put away
the summer furnishings and get
things in order for winter.
Summer draperies and slip
covers can be washed and packed
away unironed. If all the hang
ings for each room are wrapped
together and each package of cur
tains is labeled on the outside
as to contents, the problem of
putting up the summer draperies
next spring will be simplified.
The winter curtains. which are
put away clean in the spring, can
now be ironed if necessary and
nut up. Porch and garden fur.
niture can also be stored away.
Protect each piece from dust by
covering well with paper or
heavy, unbleached-muslin covers.
The summer rugs may be
cleaned, rolled in heavy paper
and put away. When the rugs
are being changed IS an excel
lent time to rewax and polish the
floors. When the awnings and
screens are taken down. brush
them clean with a stiff brush.
Wrap the awnings separately in
heavy paper, indicate on labels
the windows which they fit, and
store them in a dry place. Check
over the screens carefully for
necessary repairs; and IL the wire
mesh is not of copper. go over
the netting with a thin coat of
oil to prevent rusting.
If the screens have no identi-
flying marks as to the windows
they fit, mark them before stor.
ing. Remember to open the fire
place damper before lighting the
first fire.
