Miss White. am writing to a
young man whom I have never seen
nor has he seen me, except my
picture. He saw my photograph at
the home of a relative and expressed
such a deep desire to meet me that
| gave the relatives my address to
give him. Shortly afterward | re
ceived a most interesting letter from
him fthis happened last Thanksgiv-
ing day) and he has been writing
ever since--One and two letters a
week. Several weeks ago he asked il
he could come to see ME when he
came to town. | told him ! would be
pleased to see him. Since then there
hasn't been anything said about it.
Would you invite him down here,
wait for him to come. or stop writ
ing? Is there anything improper
about our corresponding Miss An
xious.
1t is possible the reason that mid
dle-aged men seem to remain friends
longer. than boys of your own age is
that you are mature beyond your
wears. Or the boys may drop you
because you show too plainly that
you care for them. If your not pet
ting, drinking or smoking is what
keeps the bows away, don't let that
worry you for one moment. The
kind of boys who tolerate such
things are not the kind with whom
you wish to spend your time.
You must realize that without
having seen you there is no way of

cannot find help in solving the prob
lem about which you are worrying
A we'll bred girl with high ideals
resents it if man is familiar with
her. But don't be oversensitive about
it.
Say nothing more about the young
mans coming to see you. | think it
would be just as well to gradually
let the correspondence drop If,
however, he comes of his own ac-
cord. and you like each other, my
advice might be different.

Grapefruit Recipes

Fruits are usually chosen for their
lusciousness, and perhaps they al

Raskob May Answer
Criticisms Made
Loans

WASHINGTON, reb. 1i-F-
The democratic national committee
win get together in washington the
day after congress adIcurns 70
straighten up its finances and 70
lay plans for action during the
next IS months.
The call for the March 5 session
was issued yesterday by Chairman
Rashob. A comprehensive plan for
soliciting funds 70 meet the deficit
now existing and 10 carry on both
during and between national cam
paigns" viii be presented at that
time.
This plan, said the chairman
now Is being drawn up by the John
Price Jones corporation Of New
York. which has conducted an ex-
tensive survey Of the possibilities
during the past two months.
One of the first interpretations
placed upon the call was that the
meeting would be Raskob's n
Ewer 70 criticism within the party
growing out OF his loans which
have gone far toward supporting
the national committees operations
during the period since the last
national campaign. There were
some indications the fund raising
plan would involve solicitation OF
small contributions from the rank
and file OF the party. to put an
end to the borrowing which has
been necessary since the demo-
Gratis ended the unsuccessful 1928
presidential campaign with q big
deficit.
Raskob set out as the first FUR
pose Of the meeting TO receive re-
ports OF the splendid accomp sh-
ments secured during the past
eighteen months by the fine or

The recent criticism OF the DEM
ocratlc chairman was voiced BY
Frank r. Kent, OF the Baltimore
Sun whose assertions Raskob In a
sweeping denial summed UP as: I'm
short. that I have bought and paid
for the party.
Kent described him ss the "first
mortgage holder" OF the party.
Faskob maintained he had not
assumed any liabilities or debts or
the committee. but That he was one
OF a group which endorsed the only
outstanding note. He expressed
confidence also that the commit
Zee would repay the loans ne had
made 1t. He also discIaimed having
controlled the appointment and
administration OF Shousc. who has
been in active charge Of the party's
affairs.

RELIEF ROW
CONTINUED


WASHINGTON. Feb. 1l.-R-
More opposition TO the relief leg
islation compromise was offered In
the senate today. The republican
leaders. doubling Q vote could DC
reached otherwise, favored holding
night session TO put the program
through. Several senators stood
ready to second the speeches
against the agreement delivered yes
terday by three republican indie
pendentS. Lafollette and Blaine Of
wisconsin. and Norris of Nebraska.
Supporters OF the $50. 1000
drought loan fund sat silent, watt
ing for the opponents to talk them
selves out. They were confident
the vote would find a commanding
majority for the plan which. with
the endorsement OF democratic and
republican leaders in both branches
OF congress and the approval Of
President Hoover. Is to substitute
for several disputed relief projects.
Before II could dispose OF the
plan, however. the senate was to
vote upon the house measure to
establish a 44-hour week for postal
employees. This was set as q special
order for early afternoon
Adoption OF the relief agreement
also was complicated by objections
to other features OF the interior de-
partment appropriation bill to which
II was attached as an amendment.
Speeches on Indian affairs and 9TH
er phases OF the departments work
were in prospect before the legis-
iation could be voted upon.

has conferred on the idea that loans
