ADVICE TO
LOVELORN

She Wants to Take q Vacation
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
want you to solve some
thing for me. I am engaged

most every night and he tries
to please me in every way he
cam, Next month I am getting
a weeks vacation and I was
planning on going away some.
place with a girl friend. He
is not getting a vacation and
he thinks it ungrateful Of me
to go and leave him for a week
and thinks I could enjoy myself
just as well by staying at home
where he could see me every
night. I think it is unfair Of
him to expect me to hang about
here for a week as I consider
every girl needs a change Of
scenery once a year. Shall I
defy him by going?
PUZZLED.
I wouldn't do any "defying::"
there is always a better and
gentler way to do these things.
It seems to me that any girl
= who works for her living all the
year round is entitled to take q
weeks vacation away from the
heat and dust of a city, Talk
to him and try to win him over;
you'll be able to unless he's
very self-centered.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am in love with a young
man whom I have known for
six months, but he has never
invited me to go out with him
and it makes me miserable
because he does not. I have
often thought of asking him
to come to my home. Do you
think it would be proper?
It would be quite proper for
you to invite the young man to
your home. If you're too shy
to ask him personally, then
write him a friendly little note:
Dear Mr.. Nelson or Dear John
whichever you happen to call
him): Mother and I would be
glad to have you come to sup
per Sunday evening at, what
ever time you have supper. I
suggest Sunday evening because
it is an easier meal to prepare
than dinner. Or you might in
vite him in for a game of cards
which would neceSsitate asking
another couple.
Don't be scared to death about
suggesting pleasant little hospi-
talitieS-the young man will
probably be as glad to come as
you will be to have him.
He, Is Distant and Practical
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 26 years old and have
been going with a man 20 for
nearly two years. He seems to
care for me, yet never shows
me any affection and doesn't
want me to show him any. I
am of very loving disposition,
but try to hide my feelings.
He is not at all bashful and
once said he thought more Of
me than of any other girl. Is
1t natural for some men to be
so distant and practical? I
wonder If that is why I care so
much for him? JANE.

geSts that this very reserved
young man regards you, more as

late Charles Bell had originally built
pleasant home on the site, but this
house was demolished and the entire
space filled with the Bradley residence

theater was extended over what had
been a pretty side garden. Mr.. Bradley
probably gave 10 years to the building

Mr.. Thomas Mexican of Germantown,
that historical and beautiful suburb of
Philadelphia, has over the mantel of
his drawing room the most precious
portrait which this Republic can boast
the original of the full-length canvas
of George Washington painted from life
by Charles Wilson Peale by order of the
Supreme Council in 1778. The portrait
was intended to adorn the meeting room
where so many illustrious foreigners as
eembled and pledged their support to
the patriotic cause. Several members
of the Mexican family were prominent
IN the momentous events of the revo-
htionary era and the canvas was OBJ
tanned by purchase after Peale had
made numerous portraits of the first
patriot during the struggle and after the
victory of Yorktown. Meantime, Con-
greSs had commissioned Gilbert Stuart
to paint the later full-length picture
more familiar than was the first by
Charles Wilson Peale. In recent years
the portrait now in the Germantown
home of the McKeans has become more
and more admired and its priority gives
It unique value. but no offer has been
