Don't Take Her Places !
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

I am married Q second time
and have three children by 3,

with me and my husband
plainly shows that he cares for
them, never speaking unkindly
to or about them. Since our
marriage, q little over two
years ago, he has changed con.
siderably towards me. He
knows just the things to say
that hurt me and takes delight
in doing so. Also he never
takes me any place with him.
for what reason I don't know.
For I have many times been
complimented on my appear
ance. He puts In extremely
long hours at his business and
when he isn't at business, he lis
home with me. The greatest
fault I find is that he just
won't take me places and win
glory in sitting around hurting
my feelings and has at times
said he wished I would leave
him. I do not know Of another
woman In his life that would
be the cause Of his actions to-
ward me. He knows love him

IA girl is dining with her

Should she introduce him to

Isn't it proper for him to

Is the girl being rude to her

Startle q man, Just in order

keep his love from going into

The girl Of today may not be
so "appealing"-but she Is In
finitely more interesting and
more reasonable. She has dis
covered that emotions in o wo-
man are always either q nui-
Sance or q bore to q man. And
that is the hardest lesson that
woman ever had to learn.
She may not have the soft
cIinging coquettish little ways
that caught a mans heart and
wound themselves around it;
but .neither has she the
strangle-hold around his neck
that sometimes choked the
heart out Of him.
She seldom flatterS his mas
terfulness or appeals to his pro
tective instinctly weeping on his
coat-lapel-but neither does she
steep him in tears and send his
love TO q watery grave.
She seldom sobs, swoons.
bushes or slludders. She is al.
ways as cool and sweet as ice
cream. Her temperamentalism
has been extracted with her tom
sils: and her sensitiyeness and
emotionalisrn have been banted
off with her hips.
And. while that may make
her less feminine" it should
please the men, who spent their
days coddling, petting and wait
ing on the o1d-fashioned woman
and their nights wondering
why God made her so inconsist-
ent.
IF she was sentimental and
sensitive, it bored them TO tears.
II she was jealous, It drove them
into some other wonan's arms.
If she was depressed and down
hearted, it drove them out to
the club-or to drink.
If she was excited and jubi-
liant, they called it ''hysteria " |:
and II she was indignant or agr
grieved or impatient, they called
it "nagging." -
The girl of today is none Of
these things. She just hides her
emotions and laughs them off
But. inside, she is just as ''Soft-
boiled" as ever. Because, there
is no such THING as O hard
boiled" woman! Emotions and
sentiment are as much o part
Of woman as hips, elbows. intui'

Robin Dale was in the shadow
and he hoped they would not
see him, especially as he had
inadvertently overheard theil
words. But the man spied i1im
and showed it in his expression
and in.saediate silence. Dale
rose to go into the house.
"Avery--this is Mr.. Dale; he's
going to stop here a few days.

of the two brothers, asons of
Harley Boyleston. The ere
seemed to be an undercurrent
of something sinister in the
air. Dale sensed it. He
laughed at himself, ascribing it
to the night, the surroundings,
but it was not that easily dis
PEELED.
He sat for long time at
the window, now searching for
a good lead to his story. now
wondering if the ghost would
show itself, and then, Subcon-
sciously, letting his thoughts
dwell without apparent motive
on the two below. Once he
heard the music of piano.
Then. without warning, it

Dale was in. the sitting-room.
Stephanie Rolfe was standing
near the door, which was partly
opened, holding in his quiv.

Young Boyleston came to her
side as Dale reached the room
and snatched the paper from
her hand.
IT'S the ghost!" she sobbed
Historically. Dale answered
her.
IT wouldn't get so excited,
Miss Rolfe, ghosts don't write
notes and slip them into peo-
pies homes"
"It came floating in through
the door, I saw it! It's from
the ghost! It's written in
blood!"
Dale felt like bursting out in
laughter but restrained himself i.
Avery Boyleston had finished
reading the note. With a gesture
Dale asked if he might see it.
Stephanie was trembling with
fear; Avery was white and his
hand shook as he held out the
paper. Dale gazed upon a small
square of plain white paper.
There were letters on it formed
by blotches of red color. De-
spite this the message was plain
ly legible,
do not marry the son of
Boyleston or thou wilt die like
him."
There was a scrawled, illegible
signature and under it a flag in
which was drawn a skull and

"As thought, Dale muir

"I know who it isl" Boyleston
shrieked, and before Dale could
say another word the man
