DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAN Miss rA4kGcA<
May I put q few words into
your column? I read 1t and
sometimes wonder whether to
pity these girls, or to laugh at
them. They complain because
their parents are too strict and
do not let them lead q "whoopee
lfe," and smoke and drink.
Oh, how I envy them! If I
could only exchange places with
them for one week! Then they
would gladly go back to their
strict parents.
My father and two brothers
smoke, swear and drink. I see
enough intoxicating liquor to
hate the sight Of it. I cannot
imagine how some girls can
crave this life. If it were not
for my wonderful mother and
her brave efforts, I could not
have graduated from high
school. My father does not care
what I do.

the plaything has disappeared.
The baby looks solemn, but
normal. Then in a few hours
or days the baby develops q
cough or an asthmatic attack,
which persists until Thea x-ray
shows the button or tack or
safety pin or toy jammed in
the windpipe.
A friend Of mine had an ex-
perience of this sort and de-
ScribeS it very Interestingly. He
was careleSsly tapping his front
teeth with o pin while walking
up and down his office think
ing over some problem. Sud
denly he looked at his fingers
and noticed the pin was gone.
He had just fetched q deep
sigh and presto-no pin. He
looked all over the floor for 1t
and then thought it might have
been inhaled. Had an x-ray Of
his chest taken and there it
was. He said that as it went
past the glottis it caused no
sensation or discomfort of any
kind. Fortunately he was able
to have it removed promptly.
Can't Be Too Careful
Objects frequently inhaled by
babies and children include 4
special part Of chicken bone
part of the breast which Is thin
and easily breaks off.
Beads should never be given
to a baby to play with unless
they are strung together. Coins,
buttons, cafety pins, water
melon seeds, fragments of egg
shell and fish bones are others.
Peanut shells are especially
dangerous, as they set UP an
extremely severe and irritating
bronchitis and are hard to re-
move.

was describing in yesterdays
chapter a typical day in our
married life, but I only got
through breakfast, and then
skipped to the end of my day.
My work day begins either
with an orchestra rehearsal or
with work at my office, where
all my business affairs and de-
tails in connection with my Or
chestras are handled. It Is an
informal sort of office, yet very
attractive and I like to consider
myself one Of the workers there
rather than a boss" And I
like to see all who come there
treated with friendliness and
consideration, for I well remenn-
Der the chilly reception I often
encountered at some Of the or
chestra offices when I was max
ing the rounds seeking work dur
ing my first days in New York.

I have been doing it for a long

often I receive some valuable

Since Fay and I have been

This rehearsal usually lasted

And it makes me very happy,
without a pang Of jealousy, to
see that Fay is so popular with
my friends, for that shows my
judgment of her is absolutely
correct. -.
Ordinarily. we prefer dining
at home, although we go out
for dinner now and then when
either of us desires some dish
in which a particular resCau-
rant SpecializeS, or when we are
invited out. When ! feel like
going to a restaurant I phone
Fay late in the afternoon, so
that it will come as something
of a surprise to her. AS I
have emphasized in these ar.
ticles, I try to keep our mar.
ried life on the basis Of the I'M
expected, and try carefully to
avoid routine.
In the same way, when we
dine at home, Fay likes to sur.
prise me with new dishes
which she thinks I will like.
She does a great deal Of the
food shopping herself. and I
like it So.. OF course. the cook
could select staple foods with a
keener eye than Fay, but
frankly 1 am flattered that she
wants to do such things for me
herself. Due to my inordinate
fondness for corn on cob ana
squash, she has become quite
an expert on these vegetables
Makes Good Pies
She says she can make as
good pie as the cook which is
q fine mark to shoot at, but
thus far she has given no
demonstration. and jokingly
accuse her of being afraid to
try. Perhaps she Is trying,
and hiding her failures under
the lid of the waste-pail. I
appreciate tremendously h er
interest in watching over my
food, but I never want her

than she actually desires to do.
Likes Simple Things
So, you see, we live quite a
simple life-like thousands Of
other young American couples.
Perhaps, because my work
compels me to live in the heart
of the city, our apartment
rental is rather high. but its
furnishings are the same SIM
pie and comfortable fittings
that you find all over the coun-
try. Neither Fay nor I were
born with silver spoons. Both
our families are Of good sturdy
stock, hard working, serious
people, but not particularly en-
dowed with worldly goods.
Fay did we'll financially dur
ing her movie career. and I,
too, have earned q considerable
amount of money during recent
years; but neither Of US has

A splendid advance in med.
ieal science has been the de.
velopment of what is called
bronchoscopy. 1t means the
ability to see into the trachea
and bronchi-the windpipe-
and to extract objects from
their depths.
It is far easier than you
would think to inhale a foreign
body. Babies and children are
the most frequent victims, but
older persons often are included.
You would think that the
foreign body would choke the
life out of you as 1t went into
the windpipe. The surprising
thing is how easily it goes down
and how little trouble it makes
for a while after 1t gets there.

dent of the college which our
daughter Is attending congratu,

average grade which she made
last year. =
Does this letter require an

Yes, this letter Of such good
news does require an answer,
just as soon as you can get
one to him. Thank him for
his kind letter, and tell him
how much you appreciate his
sharing the good news with you
in such an especially friendly
way.
And by the way, be most
careful Of the signature to your

A man never changes his
habits; they are the same to-
cay, yesterday and forever.
But, in the matter Of lightning
change effects, his heart makes
up for all the rest Of him.
You'd fancy that a marriage
certificate were a declaration Of
independence, from the way in
which most people act after
they have signed it.
Astonishing how many rich
widows are willing to pay cash
in advance for cheap sentiment
or imitation love from good
looking adventurers, nowadays.
I wish that could say that
some romantic swain had
penned the following charming
verses; but they were written
by q pretty girl, who loves to

said, to the beginning. "You
know that my life was spent on
the plantation. With my father.
And that when he died came
to San Francisco. You know,
now, that there wasn't much
money. I had to get work.
Through a friendly woman at

got this substitute library work.
I met him there. -"

"He took me out" Fanchon
went on. IL didn't know
what he did, for q living. He
was in the import business with
his brother he said. I didn't
know what. I saw him often,
although sometimes he would be
gone for weeks at time. Then,
through another girl at the WV
I got the job of modelling
dresses in a big wholesale house.
Finally, went to q small hotel
to live. Tony explained that
the Y rules were too strict, I
couldn't see him often enough.
We used to dine together, go to
shows, take little motor rides.
IL was awfully in love with
him." said Fanchon and some

) any taste for ostentation or
extravagant luxuries.
We find our pleasure in SIM
pie things, and in being on in
innate terms with the ordinary
things of everyday life.
We like the company of
other people, but we are easily
entertained, and we require no
glittering, hilarious parties to
keep us from boredom. What
time can spare from my work
I like to spend with Fay, either
at home or at some sort Of rec
reation.
Our happieSt times are our
week-ends together. On Satur-
day afternoons We often go for
q drive along some Of the beau.
tiful roads around New York,
stopping at a roadside inn for
a bite to eat. We like to seek
out romantic side-roads in the
hills, and follow them aimless-
ly. But these Saturday after
noon expeditions will be halted
when I shall have to play Satur-
day matinees in the Scandals"
We shall have Sundays, how
ever, for a jaunt to some beach
club, for swimming and recrea-
ton in the afternoon and eve
ming. Both Fay and I are very
fond of these holidays. We
like to "laze" about on the warm
sand, interrupting our loafing
now and then with a plunge into
the Surf-happy and carefree.
Then, q good dinner, while lis
tening to the strains Of a
dreamy orchestra-and q leis-
urely drive homeWard through
the night. That is our idea of
a happy day.
He Loves His Work
Sometimes I have to pinch
myself to be sure I'm not in q
dream. That is q trite phrase,
but it expresses my sentiments
exactly. Although in the death
Of my mother I suffered as
great q loss as any man can,
I have work that I love, public
recognition which I deeply ap-
preciate. financial success, a
hearty interest In life. and, to
share them all, q beautiful and
companionable girl who is my
wife. AL of these things have
not come easily. Behind them
are years of strenuous work,
but they are worth it all. I
am intensely happy, and I
trust that through my work
I shall be able to share that
happiness with others. I feel
that I am living q romance,
and shall be content If. I
can convey the spirit Of ro-
nance to those who hear me
over the radio, on dance floors.
and in the auditoriums Of
theaters.
This is Rudy Vallee signing
