That's true, captain - but

by applying some Of the truths

But they can't combat the

ADVICE TO

BY Beatrice Fairfax

J D~@EAN@ GA A@A =
She Calls Him a "Scotchman"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been going with o
girl. for three years and we
have been getting along very
well. The third year it seems
as though we are getting
pretty well acquainted. I am
in a financial position where
I can't be too extravagant and
am very careful with whatever
money I have to spare. I am
neither q niSer nor a tightWad,
and I try to show her good
time always, but it seems as If
/ haven't got enough money.
She insinuates that I'm tight
and calls me a "Scotchman." !"
She knows and understands
my financial position. Am. I
to take these remarks like q
good-natl1red boob and laugh
them off, or is it that shes
tired Of me and trying to dis
pose Of me In q diplomatic
way? SCOTTY.
If the girl actually under
stands your financial position
and expects you to spend more
than you can afford and run
into debt for her, she'd be what
insurance companies call an
unfair risk" matrimonially
speaking, and I'd try to find
some one else. But, my dear
Scotty, you do not give me any
idea Of what amount you do
spend. I have on my desk be-
fore me a letter from a young
man who writes: MY girl was
a regular money picker; at least
twice month I took her to q
movie (two seats, 20 cents), and
on the way home we had re-
freshments (l1ot dog sandwiches
and coffee or ginger ale); some
times it cost all Of a dollar"
Then the young man went on
to tell me that he made $3.50 q
month salary. and, as he In.
tended to marry the girl, he
couldn't understand her break
ing with him. But I can under
stand why she broke the en-.
gagement. Now, my dear Scotty,
If you've been skimping on
your girl like this nine-hole
man I can see your girls side

ening toward q woman, and
which he IS always amazed to
find crumbling like plaster Of
Paris, before the flood Of his
own emotions.
II is the drawbridge over
which he fancies he can always
retreat when he feels about to
surrender.
What a woman really longs
for Is to be some mans "Ege-
ria"-his inspirational, platonic
friend-until she can discover
whether she wants to marry
him or not.
Platonic friendship Is the lit
tie side-gate by which she hopes
to slip into his affections, when
he isn't looking.
A man doesn't suggest "pla-
tonic frienship" until he finds
himself growing too weak to
struggle against a woman's
charms, and fears he Is going
down for the third time. Then
he grasps desperately at the
good pal" stuff.
AS a child fights against the
Sandman" so a man fights
against falling in love-and the
myth of platonic friendship Is
the fairy tale which he hopes
will keep his eyes open.
But Platonic Friendship, alas,
is q ship which starts for No
where, and always ends in the
harbor of Love, or goes down in
q storm of misunderstanding.
It is, in fact, the sweetest
part of love-the interval be-
tween the first meeting and the
first kiss!
