Cupid's DOOrmat?

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 have been going with a girl
for two years. I love her very
much. She tells me that she
loves me, too. But she goes
around with two other boys.
She says she does not like
them but, when she and I are
together, and they IRE around,
she treats them better than
she does me. She and I have
been sore several times. We
always manage to make up.
Tell me. Miss Fairfax, do you
really think she loves me?
B. H.
Perhaps you've been too hum
BILE, too much given to spelling
the young lady, and she's be-
gun to take you bit too much
for granted. Try being a little
Indifferent; be nice to some
other girl just as she makes
herself agreeable to other boys.
'Tis an old remedy, but it
often works.

THE YEAR AHEAD


During the coming year you
will take on added responsible
tiles of which you can acquit
yourself with credit If you
avoid too much pleasure and
concentrate yourself on business.
Be careful in your dealings
with large corporations and
undertake nothing that entails
quick changes. Guard health
and use caution during october
1914, January Oil, 1920; be-
ware of quarrels, accidents etc,
during September 1929, De-
cember 1923.
A CHILD born today will be
self reliant, serious and syste-
matte, and will be endowed
with a great amount OF
patience and persistence. He
will have a receptive mind and
a fertile imagination and will
be particularly susceptible to
flattery which trait should be
counter-acted through his early
training.
Tendencies for Tomorrow

tional activities and enjoy this
day of rest in a quiet and

NEW YORK, Sept. 23-Due to the great interest displayed by women in billiards during the past year it has been found necessary to recognize this new development. AS a result the National Billiard Asso- citation of America has formed a women's division. Miss Gene Gayl of New York has been appointed director of tournaments of the women's division of the National Billiard Association.
 During the past year New York has taken the lead in the promo tional activities of women in bil- lizards. For years Great Britain has been far ahead in helping to inter- est women in billiards.
 Now that women have displayed such keen interest in the sport, the billiard leaders have promised to help Miss Gayl plans to organize women's billiard leagues in all parts of the United tSates, then follow with sectional tournaments, and if time permits, a national championship will be held at the close of the season.

 The Bears will be garbed in faun colored pants made of a soft sheen cloth which is lighter both in weight and color than the mole skins used in the past.
