Advice to the
LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
He Has No Future

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am 18 years old and have
been going with a young man
Of % for the past year and a
half. We have had happy times
together, and we both care a
great deal for each other. Here
Is the trouble. He has a posi-
ton which affords him no
future, and he has begged me
to continue our loving friend
ship. I spoke to him about 60
ing to school to study electricity
and he promised me that he
would do so. He tells me now
that he cannot do this because his
family thinks he would be vast
ing his time. They want him to
wait until after the depression
and then change to something
with a future ahead. He has
his own money, but does not
wish to go against the wishes
OF his family.
I have told him that if he
does not go to school I shall
stop going with him and have
other friends. Do you think
I am right or wrong? I have
no proof that he will ever
make anything OF himself in
the future. 90. B.
Yes, I think you are right
to try to stir up a little am
bition in this young man, who
seems too prone to drift along
and wait for fortune to smile
upon him. AS to his studying
electricity, I suppose that he
has some liking for that Aine,
or you would not have sug-
gested it. If you do succeed
in having him become inter
ested in something like t,lis
it will mean a great deal to
him, pull him out Of a rut,
and really give him a start in
life. Being ambitious yourself,
you would be miserable if mar
ried to such a man.

missing king of his diamonds,

A. z leads clubs back to allow
dummy to win the trick and to
be ready to trump a third round
of that suit.
Next z puts himself in the lead
with his ace of spades by lead
ing low from dummy; led and
trumped his last club; then led
the ace of trumps from dummy,
followed by the queen, which he
overlook with his king, and led
his jack, which picked up the
last adverse trump. There was
no danger in playing two high
trulnps on one trick after both
opponents had followed suit on
the first trump lead, as all ad-
versley held trumps could surley
be picked up.
After trumps had been ex-
hausted, z led a small spade
toward Y'S queen. A had to
play his king, leaving Y's queen
good for a later trick. A led
back his top club: z ruffed the
lead and took his two last tricks
with dummy's top spade and
his last trump.

Thad after he divorced Airline,
and when he was so anxious
for me to say the word.
Viola still went around with
her English friend, who was
decidedly swanky, in his way.
She played around with Denny,
too, and a few others of our
friends who were jolly, good
spenders and always gentle
manly. But many was the
time she would break some date
on short notice to go out with
Jack Barnes. He was one Of
the Miers customers from
Cleveland and owned a store
there. Jack wasn't anything to
write home about, SO far as 1
could see, but Viola seemed
crazy about him.
On the last night Of our
spring fashion show, the second
since the awful Malvern affair,
Thad Parsons had almost be-
come my shadow.
The last thing I wore on ex-
hibition was a wonderful eve
ming gown. Thad begged me to
60 out. with him after I was
through and Mrs. Miers told
me to go ahead and wear the
gown, because we were going to
one Of the SmarteSt uptown
night clubs in the city.
Thad was unusually sweet
that night.
why can't we be as we used
to be, dearest" he asked, "just
the two of us, looking ahead to
real happiness?"
There seems to be no rea-
son." admitted.
"Then it's agreed?"
tits agreed, Thad."

He kissed me and held me in
his arms as we rode home in
the early hours. It was like the
old days.
I'VE will start planning our
love nest, sweetness" he whis-
pered as the car stopped at my
door.
"And the first thing will be
the little old marriage certifi-
cate, Thad. I'm sorry I re-
fused to marry you when you
begged me, right after your di-
vorce, but now I am sure"
Marriage certificate?" There
was surprise in his voice.
Don't tease you know, it's
still being done, this getting
married" I laughed and gave
him little kiss.
But things are different,
Kitty; you know that as well as
myself"
The way he said it sent cold
chills over me.
How, different. Thad?"

cannot expect me to marry you

WOman's Fear-C Complex

through life in a state Of PANIC
from the cradle to the grave.
When she Is a little girl, she
has a panic for fear she may
not grow UP to be a beauty.
And when she is a big girl, she
lives in a panic for fear she
may not be popular. That is
what drives her to paint like a
fire-alarm, dress like a show
girl, and make a noise like a
radio in static.
Later, she has a panic for
fear she may MISS something

or a thrill. She feels desper-

Giving Bride in Marriage
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

UAVAM8 DEIN0 AA M@EEA@SC
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I am about to be married.
My parents are dead and I
have been living with a mar
ried sister for about five years.
Don't you think I should have
my brother-in-law (who has
acted as a father in this time)
give me away? I have brothers
but I do not see 6hem very
often. WONDERING.
Under these circumstances,
since your brother-in-law has
been so especially kind and
"fatherly" to you, and since you
do not see much of your
brothers, I think that it would
be especially gracious and ap-
propriate for you to invite your
brother-in-law Gn-law seems a
very cold word in this case,
doesn't it?) to give you in mar
riage. Surely he has in large
measure deserved this honor.
