Beatrice Fairfax Advises LOueLOrn

AS 1t happens, my mornings

from two girls asking almost
ldentically the same question.
Would you advise me to con-
tinue my friendship with him?"
inquiries Nellie. "Or shall I
try to forget him?"
While Blue Lou asks: Am

try to forget him?"
These questions suggest a
dilemma, in which many
girl finds herself-a situation
wnere the Utmost tact, patience
good sense and affectionate
good humor are needed If
worthwhile frien d S h ip-pos-
sibly a precious love, are to be
salvaged.
First I shall quote from
Nellie's letter:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"Will you kindly help me
solve a problem that 1 have
been working on for some
time?
Il have been keeping com.
pany with a boy for over two
years, and still think very
much Of him. but he doesn't
seem to care very much for
me; that is, I don't think he
acts 1t.
During the two years I went
out with him three or -four
nights a week, but several
months ago a great change
came over him, and he doesn't
care to go with me over once
a week.
He pretended to care very
much for me, but somehow or

several times a week, and also
other fellows who took me out,
but I did not have as good q
time with any Of them as l
would have had with him.
II still go out with him, but
he is always telling me about
his other girls, and trying to
hurt my feelings. Do you
think he cares anything about
me? Or Is he trying to make
me jealous? Would you ad-
wise me to continue my friend
ship with him? Or shall l try
to forget him?
NELLIE"
Louis letter is so similar to
Nellie's that in order to avoid
repetition I shall not print it.
The home girl, the nice girl.
the womanly girl, is the girl
a mans heart calls for with
a call that will not be denied,
. If he is worth while. She is
the girl he wants to marry.
Hers is the influence he wishes
in his home.
Sympathetic understanding
and patience are needed by a
girl when her sweetheart is
torn between conflicting attrac-
tions. That is not the time to
refuse his friendship-that is
not the time to resolve to for
get him, it is the time he may
need most of all your inspira-
ton.
Do not wait too long, but
continue to grant him your
friendship, provided he treats
you with respect and is really
a man of principle, one Ca
pable of making a success Of

many occasions. The three

clasp of baguette cut crystal

strands are also good, and are
often arranged ill flat collar

When a 6-year-old boy Is
growing fast, eating everything
he can lay his hands upon. and
still remains thin as a rail, his
family is liable to conclude that
it is natural.
AS a matter Of fact, nature
may be needing some help, even
though you have made sure of
his proteins, vitamins and min
erals and have given him all
he can hold. Perhaps he is
not getting enough concentra-
ted food.
Dried fruits like figs and
dates, prunes or raisins in his
bowl Of cereal, nuts like pea
nut butter on his bread, cheese,
eaten plain or distributed
through the cream sauce on
potatoes. macarOni or rice. and
plenty of butter on his vege-
tables or dressing on his salads
would help to furnish many
calories in small volume.
He will need a quart of milk,
either to drink or cooked into
his food, two big servings Of
vegetables, and two fruits each
day, but probably other liquid
foods and bulky materials may
be reduced somewhat.

When Manners Are Correct
BY Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I have been corresponding
with a young man for some
time, but he has never been to
ny home. Should ask him to
come some Sunday afternoon
or should he ask for the priv
ilege? Under the circumstances,
1t is impossible to ask him to
a quiet informal gathering at
my home. G.
Either is correct-for you to
offer him the hospitality of
your home, and invite him to
come to see you on some Sun
day afternoon Ito tea per.
hapS): or for him to ask you
If he may come. After all,
that is what our homes are for,
to extend" their hospitality
to our friends.
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Should a girl who has just
made known her engagement
answer a letter she received
from her fiance's mother,
whom she has only met on two
occasions? / do not think the
. letter calls for an answer, but
my girl friend is going to an
swer 1t. READER.
You mean. don't you, that
your girl friend is the one who
received the letter?
Indeed, such a letter calls
for an answer" Just as fine
and charming an answer as a
girl can write. To disregard
such a kind and friendly letter
as this evidently was would be
boorish, and most unfortunate,
too, for the girl would miss one
Of the best opportunities in the
world to establish a spirit OF
friendlineSs with the mother of
the family into which she is
entering. Every move that she
makes toward that family can
be indicative Of her lack of
both of these charming quail
ties. Since she has acquired
a new mother, who apparently
has a sense of manners and
specifically of what should be
done to welcome a new daugh-
ter into the family, she should
show her appreciation by an
swering the letter. When you
consider how delighted and
happy her fiance'S mother will
be- if she does answer the letter
The Washington times., 1930-01-16

and how disappointed she will
be if her letter is disregarded,
you will see that for her to an
swer it is reasonable. Put
yourself in the mothers place,
dear girl.
The fact that she has met
her mother-in-law-to-be only
twice makes no difference. 1t
would make no difference If
she had never met her. Indeed,
letters then become the me-
dium by which she will know
her-will meet" her spirit and
get acquainted with her.
She should thank the older
woman for her letter, show her
appreciation of the mothers
welcoming into the family, tell
the mother of her anticipation
of another meeting soon.
