his business. She was going to

MRS. Cornelius Beeckman-

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
When one is a guest at the
home of a friend who has no
maid, is it, or is not, proper to
make up ones own bed? Very
soon expect to go to the city
to visit a dear friend (male).
His mother and married sister
have written asking me to visit
them, too. I have not as yet
met the mother and sister. I
do not know whether they have
maids, but am under the i'm
preston that they have be-
cause my friend is a doctor in
the city, and is very Well-bred.
If his mother has no maid,
would it be proper to offer to
help her with the dishes? She
is quite elderly.
2. What kind of dress should
be worn in the morning when
one goes to breakfast? Can the
same dress be worn all day and
to dinner, too, if the dinner is
eaten at home?
3. Has my handwriting any
significance I am left-handed.
E. S.
If you find that the house
hold is not one that has service.
it is the only generous and
thoughtful thing to volunteer to
help. BY all means, take care
of your own room, making your
bed and Strengthening it up
and putting everything in place.
And offer, too, to help with the
other household chores. And
be sure to have the attitude
that it is the most natural
thing in the world for you to
do, that you enjoy doing it,
and that it is great fun to take
care of these household affairs
together. There is a perfect
way OF assisting in these items,
a gracious cooperation that is
the sign of the perfect guest.
2. Wear a day dress to break
fast, a dress of light material
if you wish, since the drerss
is to be worn in the house. In
other words, a dress more on
the order of a house dress than
a street dress worn to dinner
would depend frock, at least
before dinner. Even if you are
dining at home, your dress for
the evening would be of more
formal nature. A dinner dress
would probably be the best
form. but really the mode Of
the dress worn to dinner would
depend entirely on the kind Of
household you find.

that you are left-handed. It

Real Adventure

Adventure. To go places. To

money was not worth as much
as she had thought. Johnson
had it. And here he was,
stumbling about in the dust of
Hermosa. With the rest of the
toadS and scorpions. A blind

Farrell had very little money.
Practically none, in comparison
with Johnson. Yet Farrell
lived. He laughed. He loved.
Yes, Farrell knew the meaning
of love-.

started. 1t was the nearest to
a compliment Johnson had
ever paid. Not that he hadn't
tried; wrestled with his awk-
ward tongue to make it trip
along a pretty speech. 1t
simply wasn't in him to do it.
He felt foolish. Like a blind
bat trying to play butterfly.
Raquel had almost forgotten
Johnson, there on the bench.
She must get rid of him if she
was going to meet Farrell.
Reluctantly, he left her.
Farrell was waiting for her.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About a year and a half ago,
I met man who was Of an en-
tirely different nationality and
religion than myself. I liked
him very much. I met him
quite a few times, as he went
with the same crowd I did.
Out of our meetings grew a
beautiful friendship.
My parents thought he was
a very nice fellow but as he
was of a different religion and
nationality from u.s. did not
want me to go with him. He
was the kind that did not
want to pet a girl and he
thought it very unwomanly to
see a girl smoke. I gave up
smoking when I went with
him. I never took MN Serl-
ously although really cared
for him.
Finally he became real seri-
GUS, I just laughed and said
it would be best that we did
not see one another. I don't
know whether he really thought
I was making a fool of him.
If he could only have read my
heart whenever I said those
things
After that he ignored me
entirely. 1 did not see him at
all for about two months.
When we met again, I acted
as though I was as happy as
ever. 1, laughed and fooled
around with the other fellows
as though I really did care for
them. I could just read dis
gust on his face. We met sew
eral times since and now we

him.

must guide and guard me. I
have told you everything now
everything about Dean. The
thing has worried me unspeak-
ably. I have felt that it was
my duty to him to wait for
him. I did feel that I loved

She Does Not Seem to Care
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am very much in love with
Q girl and one day I asked her
for her picture, but she said she
didn't have any. I then wrote
her a letter and told her I loved
her but she didn't answer it. I
wrote her another letter asking
her if she would meet me that
evening, but she said she had to
go to a dance. Do you think
this girl loves me?
