Listens to Tale Telling
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have followed the advice
you have given to other people
with success, and think I'll
ask for a little on my own &C
count. have gone with a girl
for three years and she says
she loves me dearly, and I also
love her. But some of my
friends tell me things about
her 1 don't like to hear. I've
asked her if these things are
true and she denies them. I get
mad at her often. What do
you think? S.
AS long as you've asked me
what 7 think, I'm going to be
unflattering and tell you
think you're q pretty poor sort
Of lover. You should either
quit, II you have any reason to
suppose these rumors about the
girl are true, or you should be
man enough not to listen to
them. You are neither loyal
to her nor to yourself in lend.
ing an ear to tale-bearing, and
continuing to go with the girl.
Loves Her Dads Friend
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am Is years old and con-
sidered pretty. I've been away
to a girls boarding school for
two years and this vacation !
came home to be with my
father who is a w1dower. And
the first thing I did was to
fall in love with his friend, q
bachelor of so. This man is
terribly handsome and makes
all the young fry I meet seem
like green apples.
I think he knows I love him,
but he Just won't fall for me.
So I determined on a little
game. My father was out one
night when he called, the hall
light wasn't lighted. So I dashed
out, pretended I thought ne was
my father and threw my arms
around him and kissed him. He
did give me a. good hug, then
he said: "You little devil-so
you thought Of that, did you?"
Then he said Your father
not homer" And when I said
NO" he went away and hasn't
been back since. My Dad has
called him up two or three

With the possible exception OF
San Benito, the collegisn5 loom as
the MethodiSts toughest opposition
in the lower bracket. Cal SurteeS'

and they are playing far better ball
than their standing would indicate.
Any fan viii get his quarter worth
who attends the Harrington game
tonight. The Methodists have not
met with q hard game so far this
season. They have had little prac-
tice during the past week. All in
all, they are facing their toughest
game Of the season.
Strange as it may seem, the best
game in the upper bracket will be
the one between Donna and Pharr-
San Juan-Alamo. Donna is the
runner-up in the upper bracket,
having lost only n tilt this year.
But here's where the rub comes in
The tri-city cagers got off to q
faltering start, dropping four games
in rapid succession Then they
braced and have won three straight
from clubs that were favored over
them. The big question in the up
per bracket tonight will be Can
Pharr continue her streak?" They
would be doing the Edinburg fire
men a favor IL they do, because
Dick Hornbuckle and his aggrega-
ton or cagers are getting danger
