with broadcasting, stage work
and playing at a hotel, but now
I am merely doing days work
in a day rather than two days
work in a day, as I formerly
did. And now I have my week
ends free, whereas formerly I
did not have a single day off
even Sunday.
So, Fay fills the need Of q
companion for my leisure; and
her companionable qualities, her
soothing effect on me and our
similarity of tastes make her a
welcome pal.
But, frankly, do not wish
her to become too domestic. or
too engrossed in my profes'
sional affairs.
A DOmesticated Girl
FAY can cook, but I should
rather not have her spend too
much time in the kitchen, al
though she takes great delight
in supervising my favori tie
dishes, For a few days after
our marriage she was intent on
showing the cook the intricacies
of preparing exceptionally hard
toast, of which she is very
fond; and now she is doing val
liant missionary work, with some
degree of success, in teaching
me to like it.
She can make me happiest,
not by performing or supervis'
ing the manifold duties Of the
household, or trying to take
care Of my physical comforts,
for which we have servants, but
by keeping herself fresh and
vigorous for companionship.
Naturally, I appreciate small
attentions, as any man, or any
woman, does, but I do not re-
uuire those domestic comforts
of which "house-slippers by the
fireside" are a symbol.
Romance In Danger
Too much domesticity, be-
lieve, endangers romance.
Of course, I like to feel that
if I could not afford servants,
Fay would take her full share
of domestic duties and respon-
sibilities; and that she would

By ROB EDEN

eff you'll wait here a mo-
ment, Mrs. Curtis" the young
man said, then without waiting
for an answer left the room.
Dee was alone. She sat down
on the couch, and dropped back
her coat.
There was a telephone. She
could call Dennis. Instantly she
was on her feet, and at the
instrument, when the young
man returned. Pretending to
examine some magazines which
were lying on the tables by the
phone, she wondered If the
young man realized she had
been about to use the phone.
Her fingers, though, hadn't
touched it when she heard him
come in.
Taking one of the magazines,
she went over to the couch
again, and opened it. Her eyes
couldn't see the print, couldn't
read. She was thinking of Tony,
of Lael. Mostly Of Lael. Phil
came now and then to her
mind, bringing a dull ache to
her heart. Phil, whom she
would see no more. She loved
him, she knew.
The young man also picked
up a magazine and sat down.
Where am ~" Dee asked.
where is this place. Who owns
it?"
You'll find out later, Mrs.
Curtis. Just wait for a few
minutes"
Seeks Her Baby
IT want to see-my baby;
must see her!"
BE patient, please"
"Is my baby here?" He
hadn't said Lael was here.
She assumed she was, but didn't
know for sure. And where was
Tony? She had thought she
would see him.
Dee glanced at the watch on
her wrist. It was noon. She
wasn't hungry.
Dee was nervous. She could
hardly sit still. It she waited
any longer she thought she
would go crazy.
Lael must be here. Else they
would not have brought her
here. Tony must have made
the trip from Los Angeles to
Cleveland by train with Lael.
He didn't know anything about
babies! How had he taken
care of her? Maybe the child
was sick, dying.
Her mind conjured up hor-
rible things, more horrible as
she waited. Perhaps Eael was
dead. God! No! Tell me if
she's all rightn she begged.
Then, she turned around. A
slight creaking of a door sat
tracted her attention, and Tony
was standing behind her, look
ing at her.

Fay Is Helpful
Fay has already proved that
she can be helpful to me in a
very practical way as well as
a companion. During one of
her visits to New York from
California, I was playing the
Brooklyn Paramount Theater,
along with an exceptionally
heavy schedule of broadcast
ing and night club work. I
was dashing hither and thither
about New York and Brooklyn,
arriving at various engagements
with only seconds to spare.
I found it necessary to open
a sort Of office in a dressing
room at the Brooklyn Theater.
And there Fay came almost
every day to help in any way
she could-answering the tele-
phone and performing little
odd jobs, and she proved very
helpful.
There was little time for the

Advice to the
Lovelorn
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Smile She Can't Forget
-~

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am desperately in love with
a young police officer, and,
when I say I'm desperately in
love with him, I mean that 1
can neither eat nor sleep with
out thinking Of him. It. was
only recently that / got &C.
quainted with him, but I used
to see him before that, and he
would look at me as if he wished
to get acquainted. Then, one
day as I was passing him, he
smiled. Oh, Miss Fairfax. you
can't understand what that
smile meant to me. Well, any
way, since then we have said
"hello" to each other. and once,
when I passed him, he put his
hand out and touched my hand,
and I was certain then that I
loved him. saw him quite a
bit and I am certain he was
really very fond Of me. Then,
after about a month, he was
transferred to another beat, and
am frantic because I can't
stand not to see him again.
i. Please givesne some advice.
NC.
If you don't know where the
young officer has been trans
ferred you can't do anything
except to wait. You might
keep your eyes open when you
are going around in other parts
Of the city. However, wouldn't
advise you to let yourself be-
come too deeply attached to this
young man whom you really
know very slightly. There is a
possibility that he may be al
ready married.

Your Health
and Diet
By Dr. Logan Clendening

Most people diet because
they want to get thin, but a
few want to diet in order to
get fat.
Their problem is a truly diff
ficult one, especially If they
are past so years Of age. It
is not, however, a very grave
problem. Dangers do not
threaten the thin person as
they do the obese

overweights begin to drop off.
but the underweight on the
average has a long stretch
ahead OF him.
Interesting Research
Most interesting studies of
the effect Of forced under-nu-
triton during the great war
are just coming to us. In
Germany, especially. the civil
population were reduced to
diet bordering on starvation.
In many large cities they ex-
listed over great periods of time
on an average intake Of 1900
calories daily (the average nor.
NAL for an adult being 2,500.
Besides, they had. to be con-
tent with a daily protein al
lowance Of SO grams (the aver
age normal being from 100
to $50, and the lowest esti-
mate ever made of the mini
mum requirement being 6O.
Hardly poor person died in
Germany during those years
whose body weighed more than
10 pounds.
Lower Death Rate
But surprisingly enough, this
restriction in diet had a benefi-
cial effect on the occurrence Of
certain diseases. The director
Of a large American life insur-
ance company which operated
extensively in Germany prior to
the war told me that the death
rate in the civil population dur
ing the war period was lower
than it had been for years. The
insured civil population was by
the nature of the case mostly
men over so years. Nothing
illustrates better the deSirability
for people Of that age and over
to practice more or less strenu-
Gus dieting.

Dennis would be worried

Phil would be frantic. Poor

The streets were familiar to

no attempt to draw the shades.
She determined to keep track
of the numbers, and be sure
where the car stopped.
Soon the city was passed,
and the car flew along through
the suburbs. These, too, were
left behind, and the car was
now plowing through a light
snow-covered deserted road.
The country was white, the
trees coated with snow. Dee
knew the car was equipped with
chains because she could hear
the soft crunch they made on
the road.

Lael. She longed to ask her
companion more questions, but
knew instinctively he would be
as reticent as he had been at
the hotel.
They had driven perhaps an
hour and half when they came
to an estate hidden from the
road by a high cement wall.
The chauffeur jumped from
his seat and rang a bell on the
big iron gate. Then coming
back to the car, he drove the
machine through the gate which
mysteriouSly opened. A winding
road through trees dripping with
snow led them up to a large old
stone house. At a covered drive
way at the side, the young man
aighted, and assisted Dee from
the car. They went through a
small door, which opened into
a warm, cozy room, not large,
but comfortably furnished. A
bright fire was burning in an
open fireplace, throwing dane
ing sparks up the chimney.

The Marry-Go-
Round
BY Helen Rowland

The Crash in the Love.Market
How refreshing to meet, now
and then, an old-fashioned pair
of married lovers who have
never heard of "the new free
dom!" Who still have faith
in each other, and believe in
love and honor and loyalty
all the quaint, old-fashioned
virtues, now in such disrepute
among the modern sophisti-
Gates!
You DO meet such a pair,
now and then. But, for most
women, the love-market has
fallen lower than the stock
market. Women's love and
kisses are going cheaper than
the bargains in the August
furniture sales. It's hard to
GIVE them away!
Never in the history of mod
ern civilization, have men been
SO Indifferent to wOmen-and
never before, have women been
so restless and lonely. Partic-
ularly the younger women.
Chatting with a number Of
eligible young men, at a fash
ionable beach resort, I discov-
cred that each of these men
would give almost anything he
owned just for a brief respite
from the pursuing women!
Just to meet a girl who was a
little difficult, a little reserved
"a little out of reach. Just
for a CHANCE to do his own
courting, enjoy the love-chase
and find romance!
Briefly, most men are FED
UP with women. Or think
they are. All of which makes
me wonder just what the new
freedom" has profited women.
I believed, and still believe,
that those pioneer women who
raised the cry for the "singIe
standard" had in mind WO.
MANS standard - the high
standard Of love, fidelity and
loyalty. But it is now MANS
standard which prevails. Or no
standard at all.
It is men, not women, who
are the natural rovers and
roamers. Every normal woman
wants her MAN-ONE man
wants sure and certain love,
wants a home and a for-all-
time lover.
But, what a spectacle we see
about us. Young girls eagerly
accepting lOye-fOr.a-day; married
women wondering where their
husbands are-Or flirting with
other wOmen'S husbands, elderly
matrOns being fleeced by gigO-
los; restless women rushing into
marriage and out of it ny the
next train to Reno; successful,
hard-w0rking women living alone
or supporting merely decorative
husbands!
So THIS is freedom! And
how MAN is enjoying it.
But the freedom is all mans.
For the feminine heart is never
FREE, and the feminine desire
does not run to variety, cut to
security. A woman wants to
be SURE.
Can any girl, today, be sure
that she will ever marry? Or
will last more than a few
weeks? Can any girl know that
the man who makes love to her
tonight will not be making love
to the girl around the corner
tomorrow night? Not, If I see
what I'm looking at!
When woman handed man
this ticket-ofleave. called "wo.
mans freedom" she handed
herself a blank! The love mar
ket is in a worse state of chaos
today than the stock market.
I wonder If woman's "stock"
will ever come back!
