Advice to LOvelOrn
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Has q Young Mother
DEAR MISS FAIPFAX.

4AAS ~ i VuA6 NAOthCl
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Do you think that a girls
mother ought to act like
young girl and dress like one?
I am II years old and my
mother is 36. which is certainly
old enough to stay at home
and be dignified. But she goes
out and dances nearly every
night. I should like a real
mother LONELY.
I feel deeply sympathetic to-
ward any young girl who doesn't
receive all the love and atten-
ton from her mother that she
needs But are you sure that
this is really your case, Lonely?
Or are you perhaps a little over
serious yourself? And can it
be. I wonder, that you feel a
funny little critical feeling to-
ward your mother because she
is popular and likes good times?
After all, my dear, your mother
is still a young woman, and
nothing is more natural than
to enjoy dancing at any age
even at ninety! And a woman
who faithfully discharges all
her family duties is entitled to
harmless recreation.

A dark, silky sort of person

Weddings To Be

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My girl friend and I had
planned to be married this
spring. But her family will not
be able to give her a wedding
until six months later. She
wishes to wait. My preference
is for an immediate marriage.
Surely a wedding is not impor-
tant. JOSEPH M
To you and to many others.
Joseph, including almost all
bridegrooms. a wedding doesn't
seem important. The simplest
form Of legal marriage would
satisfy you. I take it, and you
find it hard to wait six months
for the charming young person
whose interest in a bridal veil
and all the pretty customary
fripperies promises to delay
your happiness for that length
Of time. Nevertheless. I advise
you to allow your fiancee to
have her way. II she doesn't
have that wedding she will feel,
as most other young girls would
feel. that she has been deprived
of the greatest day in her life.
Make this sacrifice for her so
that you may start your mar
ried life without regret.

Tom Corbett was a SloW-spoken
chap, StocAy and Sandy-haired,
the sort of man children and
Gogs like Immediately. When
Ken introduced him, Ardeth pri-
"N4ely marvelled at the strong
bond of friendship which had
held the two men since their
college days. They were exact
opposites. Tom was slow where
Ken was quick. Ken was spar
king water-Tom, solid cath.
Yet there was between them a
deep regard, a quiet loyalty
which exists between few men
and no women.
Ken's. appearance in the shop
this morning was hailed with
feminine cries of delight.
Ken Gleason - come over
here and tell me why you
didn't show at the Waller
dance last night" Cecile or.
dered with pretty imperative
ness.
And Suddenly-as she watched
him go over into the other
room and seat himself beside
Cecile, who moved over to
make room for him. Ardeth's
fools paradise vanished about
her.

She was tremulouS-fear, like
a little dagger, sticking in her
heart.
To be forced to remain out
there in the shop while Ken
vanished in there in
there-that other world, where
he belonged and she could not
follow. 1t was like a symbol
a warning of what would

She moved about the place
-keenly aware as she passed
the open door, that Ken's
sparkling face was turned to-
ward Cecile, and her heart was
heavy.
Tears stinging her eyes as
she automatically rearranged
the trinkets on the case. She
was so lost in her own somber
thoughts that she jumped
nervously at a mans voice
sounding beside her.

and had leaned on the case,
his serious brown eyes fastened
on her face.

She was in a trance Of hap
piness. Nothing was very real
these days save Ken. She
went about in a dream which
took no note of the things
which had once grated on her.
Aunt Stel's nagging-Bet's petty
spite-these held no weight.
Even Neil had become one Of
the shadowy people melting
into her background when Ehe
was not with Ken.
Afterwards. Ardeth wondered
II it was not some instructive
fear of the future which kept
her thoughts from crystalizing
into practical plans-Some sub
tie sense of trouble which
makes the dreamer persist in
the dream because waking
means facing unpleasant real
ity.
Jeanette's little shop was
doubly dear to Ardeth at this
time-not only as escape from
the shabby Harrison flat, but
because it provided a meeting
place for Ken and herself.
Rarely a day when Ken did
not drop in now, as Jeanette
observed to herself with a mar
row, Secretive smile. The
smokerie gave him ample ex-
cuse.
Jeanette'S scheme to turn the
baCkroom into a woman'S
smoking retreat was proving a
bonanza.
Always some one dropping
into the shop now for a cup of
tea or a cigarette, or for that
other excellent reason-merely
to see who else was there.
Ardeth grew to know by sight
women who had been only
names to her in the society sec
tion of the Sunday papers.
Young matrons and the more
sophisticated of the debutantes,
for the most part, with always
a piquant peppering Of men.
From the middle of the fore
noon to the closing hour they
sauntered in for free tea and
expensive cigarettes. The back
room oreathed always of in
cense and expensive perfumes,
and tinkled with teacups and
laughter. It took on the nature
of a smart club.
Jeanette, beginning to be bored
by the game of tending shop,
found new interest in playing

LONG WAY TO GO

Dr. William E. Rappard, Swiss del
egate to the League of Nations, said
in New York recently that while the
London naval conference is a step in
the right direction, it must not be
regarded by Americans as a promis-
ing precedent for a general world
disarmament. Dr.. Rappard declared.
1T does not follow because three
powers have been able to agree on a
limitation of their naval ornaments
at London that all the states repre-
sented at Geneva will be able to agree
on limitation of all ornaments. Ir-
deed, the political and technical diff
ficulties which confront those engag-
ed in the pursuit of this much more
ambitious goal would seem insuper-
able. No ratio of relative needs and
possibilities, such as that which the
United States, Great Britain and Jap
an agreed upon at London, can be
devised in Geneva to satisfy the con-
flicting views of European powers"
He continued that "the relative po-
tency of land ornaments cannot be
measured and controlled as easily as
that of naval forces. Therefore, if
progress on the road to general dis
, armament if effectively to be pro-
NOTED in Geneva, the methods adopt
ed will have to be radically different
from those successfully applied in a
limited field in London"
There is doubtless a great deal of
truth in the above assertions. We
have had two naval limitations con-
ferences which have been able to
reach agreements because the United
States, a growing naval power, was
able to use its potent influence for
naval disarmament. But when ii
comes to land ornaments the situa-
ton is different. Uncle Sam does

HATS OFF TO THE PRESS

At the annual meeting of the As
ISOLATED Press message was read
from President Hoover in which he
expressed his appreciation of the fine
impartiality and reliability of the
American press. He stated his sat
isfaction that the proceedings of the
Naval Conference at London had been
carefully and fully transmitted day
by day for the past four months.
The news organizations of the
country have always sought to fur
nish reliable reports, but in the past,
bias, prejudice, and sometimes dis
honest reporting crept IN, and gave
wrong impressions of stirring world
events. This was particularly true
during the World War. This style
of news writing was not confined to
international reporting as dispatches
in the daily papers were very ire
quently open to dispute. The integ-
ritv of the American press has called
for stern methods in dealing witt
those who would abuse the confidence
placed in them and misrepresent the
news. There are very few newspaper
offices left in which truth in the news
is not thoroughly safeguarded.
