Advice to the Love|orn
By Beatrice Fairfax

as I am not working and can
not take her anywhere, but I
do so hate to give her up and
let another fellow have her.
J. E. B.
These days when so many
good people are without jobs,
I can't see why your girl should
expect attentions that cost
money, unless she belongs to
the gold digger type.
Tell her why you can't take
her places. as you'd like to do.
Providence is now tampering
the weather to the jobless lover.
A stroll through a city park or
a trip to some public gardens
or the ZOO makes an agreeable
outing.
I've lately been reading the
life of one of our late multi
millionaire captains of industry.
In one Of our earlier periods of
bad times he was poor and job
less. When he got something
to do. how did he celebrate?
He invited his girl to an ice
cream parlor, ordered one plate
of ice cream and two spoons.
Take heart, my dear boy.

wanted to enter an officers
training camp. I found he did
have a murmur as described,
but was able to persuade the
board to accept him. He passed
through the arduous ordeal Of
the training camp, went to
France with his unit, and
served with distinction during
the entire war, without ever be-
ing sick or knowing that he had
a heart. He is still engaged IN
active business and is in good
physical condition.
Such cases are very common.
It is not necessarily the physt-
clans fault. Most wise phySi-
clans, when they find such a
murmur in one of their patients,
keep the information to them
selves. But when a murmur is
found during life insurance
examination or application for
work it is not possible to con-
ceal the fact. But those in
whom such murmurS are found
in this accidental sway need not
make themselves miserable on
that account.

Franklin Street after the matt
nee was over, waiting to see the
actors and actresses come out Of
the stage entrance.
Matinee Idol
They often saw the character
actress and the man who played
the old father parts, and some
of the other unimportant ones,
but they only saw the leading
lady once, and then she was
rather disappointing, and the
only time they passed the lead
ing man Val was too shy to look
at him, and looked across the
street at a neWsboy instead.
Val thought she was in love
with him, sometimes. Some
times she would pretend to
Aunt Julia that she hadn't been
to the matinee with Marjorie,
and then she and Aunt Julia
would go in the evening.
She'd sit, with her lips
pressed close together, her fore
head damp under the dark, soft
wings of her hair. In the dark
ness, in the love scenes, when
he looked into the audience and
she thought he was looking
right at her, she squirmed I'M
comfortably, so that Aunt Julia
stopped munching her everlast-
ing taffy and said, Gracious,
Val, don't fidget!"
To Marjorie she poured out
some of her longings, and her
secret, glorious thrill.

thought of that.
Hes married, and he's more

for a fact. I'd rather have a
crush on somebody that was
some good to me. Catch me
wasting my time on a secret
sorrow! Not while I have
Frankie!" Marjorie said.
Even Marjorie made no Sc
cret of the fact that she thought
Val was a nut to even think
about going on the stage. Val
hadn't the least idea how to go
about it, and she would have
died rather than walk into the
theater and ask. So it smoul-
dered in her mind, and she
gave evasive answers to her
aunt's worried questions:
Surely you must have some
thing in mind, Valentine. Ora
cious, I always thought you
wanted to teach. 1t was my
dearest wish. I would have
given the world for your
chance. I didn't have any
choice about my life.

Perhaps we prize them overmuch,

Time is almost up for shop
ping before you go off to school,
or for shopping before the doors
of Washington schools open. It's
so nearly up that we've been
able to find out just what girls
have bought, just what is popu-
lar with those who are going
to the smartest schools. So we
pass the information on to the
few who haven't already shop
ped, and to those others who
are working, or staying home
but who want the same clothes
that go to the best colleges.
Day Clothes Simple
Two things are outstanding in
college purchases, so far, sheer
wool one-piece dresses, and swag'
ger tweed suits. Almost every
girl buys both Of these for her
early fall days. For afternoon,
honors are divided between the
rough crepes, and velvet dresses.
The new very rough crepes may
be worn in town, too, so they
seem to be winning numerically,
though there are lots of velvets
in more formal types, for teas,
Sunday nights, concerts, etc.
The polo coat is still supreme,
though there are popular new
types. tweeds with raccoon collar,
tweed suits with long coat to
match, and these are indeed
practical. And of course, there's
the raccoon coat for the girl
who's going to have a fur coat.
Fabric Hats Good
Don't forget that hats and
shoes and hose must be abso-
lutely simple and sports-like for
campus wear. Low-heeled OK
fords are almost a campus clas-
sic, and wool turbans or hats
90 we'll with the sports-like
clothes that are worn for classes.
Gloves are sturdy and simple,
plain hose are best, and pocket
books are simple, in colorS to
match shoes. Even afternoon
shoes are not as extreme in
heels or trimming as they were
a year or so ago.
The Favored Suit
We've sketched the two popu-
lar types that you will see In
great numbers on every campus,
if we can tell by what's already
been bought. The suit is kemp
tweed, which means plain color
with tiny white fleck in it. 1t
comes in brown, wine or green,
with hat to match the skirt and
swagger coat, and a sweater with
square neck, and short sleeves.
It's perfectly plain but for the
roomy pockets. You can buy
similar suits for almost any
price. The one sketched is only
$40.
Dresses High-Necked
AS so many things do tricks
to transform themselves into
two or more garments, so does
the ostrich cloth dress sketched.
Without its cape, it's a simple
one-piece sheer wool with ostrich
fronds woven in. The neckline
is square, but high, as girls pre-
fer the new higher necklines'

commencement came. An
other thing that had been
looked forward to for years,
and was over before it scarce
ly began.
: "Well, that's done!" Aunt
Julia wheezed, walking home.
Val felt for the diploma in
her coat pocket.
Nov you've got it, what
you going to do with it?"
Frank Vogel had asked, and
everybody had laughed. Now,
she wondered.
1t was a nice commencement.
Lots of people had congratu-
lated her. told her how sweet
she looked.

beautiful grill" Marjorie'S
father, F. Damon Bemis, the
supervisor, said.
Up to the last moment Val
expected some word from Mile.
Flowers, or something. But Mil.
lie must have forgotten. There
was no word. Nothing.
Val Graves More
Joe was there with his
mother, and the rest of the
family. Mrs. Carey didn't see
anybody but her Betty, but
Joe forced his way through
the crowd to congratulate Val.
Joe was friendly, all right. He
seemed to like her as much
as ever.
It wasn't enough, that was
all. She wanted something
II should have had a little
party for you!" Aunt Julia
said, seeming to sense Walls
disappointment. "Pshaw! Why
didn't I think of it? I could
have invited Marjorie. and two
or three of the other girls.
What a pity"
Val smiled, and shook her
head Marjorie! Just as if
Marjorie would come without
Frank as if ANY of the
girl would have come to a
GIRLS party.
So Aunt Julia insisted on
going to the Sweet Shoppe for
sodas. Then they went home,
and went to bed.

When summer was half over,
and she couldn't put it off any
longer, Val told Aunt Julia
that she would not go to
Normal, wouldn't become
school teacher.
well, what do you want to
do?" Aunt Julia asked reason
ably.
"Oh, don't know" Val said
evasively. "Office work, I
guess"
She really wanted to go on
the stage. Mile had been on
the stage, years and years ago.
Val used to think Of that, when
she and Marjorie went to matt
nees at the Fulton. Sometimes

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE

An animal fan I'll never for
get was one I met through an
official of the New York Zoo
logical Park, who rightly
thought I would find the ex-
perience amusing. This chap
had made a regular menagerie
of his home, a first-clasS apart
ment in Greenwich Village. All
of it's six rooms except one bed
room and the kitchen had been
turned over to birds and small
animals. Some of these were
in cages, others had the run
of the apartment. This lover
of living creatures had a goodly
assortment of specimens, in
Guiding young Malayan honey
bear, a slow loris, a pair of
American Skunks with the
scent bags removed. q lemur
from Madagascar, an ocelot
(the spotted cat Of BRAZIL, a
half-grown Asiatic porcupine so
tame you could play with it
without it's bristling up its
quilts, a kangaroo rat from the
Arizona plains, several kinds of
monkeys, and birds of all sorts.
When you sat down in that
apartment the first thing you
knew a kinkajou got into your
pocket or a marmoset started
crawling down your back. A
couple of garter snakes and a
four-foot boa constructor crawled
about on the floor by way Of
representing the reptile king
dom.
Lived For Specimens
This fan of fans lived main
ly for his specimens. He and
his wife, to whom he had COM
municated an enthusiasm COM
parable to his own, were as de-
voted to the creatures as though
they we're their own children.
They didn't seem to realize that
their miniature ZOO had spread
all over the premises unit. it
had left them for living quar-
tiers with nothing but the small
est and least comfortable room
in the place. They eagerly told
evidently feeling that they
acquired merit in doing So
that while they were interested
in the theater they had not
seen a play in over a year.
No one is more devoted to
animals and birds than I am,
but there is such a thing as
being a bit fanatical about a
hobby. When faced by such
overemphasis, one wonders
whether the people involved
aren't slightly cuckoo.
Another animal fan I'll never
forget was one who, having
read an interview with me in
a San Francisco newspaper in
which I mentioned the bintu-
rong, decided that he simply
had to have one. This ami
mal-a wooly-haired combina-
ton of bear and cat-fasci-
mated him, and, by send
ing me a letter in which he
mentioned good Pacific Coast
friend Of mine, he succeeded in
selling me the idea that I
ought to get him one on my
next trip. I usually ignore such
letters-having confined myself
to filling the orders of the big
ZOOS and circuses; but this time
I made an exception. 1 went
out of my way to land the bin
turong, making a side trip to
Djambi that my itinerary did
not call for. solely to please
the friend this enthusiast had
named in his letter.
FOrcibly Reminded
Having landed the binturong,
I sent its future owner a brief
note, telling him when I would
arrive in San Francisco from
my ASiatic travels and suggest
ing that he be on hand at the
dock to pick up his pet.
BY the time I started unload
ing the big collection I brought
back with me on this trip,
had forgotten all about the bin
turong and the chap who had

minded of the person, however,
when he rushed up to me while
I was engaged in the sizeable
task of clearing my many Speci-
mems through the customs, and
announced with choler that the
binturong had bitten him. I
had brought him a vicious AMI
NAL, by God, and he would
have none of it!
1t seems that this chap had
located the animal on the dock
and had stuck his hand in
the cage. The normally harm
less little creature, made nerv-
GUS by the exciting process of
unloading, had snapped at the
hand that strove to pet it. The
resultant bite was little more
than a scratch but that didn't
prevent this misguided nui-
sance, who had forced his or
der on me in the first place,
from vowing that he would
get even with me! If I thought
he was going to accept a fero-
cious animal like that, I was
mistaken. I washed the fell
lows hand with an antiseptic
and tried to calm him down.
An Amusing Fan
I sent him off telling him
not to worry about the bin
turong, that I would have no
trouble disposing of it. you
ought to be arrested if you try
to palm off anything as vicious
as that!" was his parting shot.
A few days later the sap filed
suit against me! However, when
I gave his lawyer the facts the
suit was quickly withdrawn:
A more amusing animal ian
was the chap who called on me
at nv hotel with raccoon
that he wanted to sell me.
"I've been reading about your
work, Mr.. Buck" he said. That
shipment you just brought TO
America sounds great. But you
seem to go in for nothing but
foreign animals. You ought TO
start collecting American speci-
mems too" ~
At first I thought it was all
a practical joke but it develop
ed that the chap was in earn
est. He'd let me have the
raccoon cheap, he assured me.
And could see for myself, ne
earnestly went on, what fine
specimen it was. Tame as
could be, playful, etc. I could
have the animal for $15-and
wasn't that a bargain? 1t de-
veloped into quite an impaS-
stoned sales-talk.
I sent him on his way with q
few words on the folly of part
ing with so fine a pet. After
all, pointed out, I had had
little to do with American ami
mails for years and I probably
wouldn't know what to do with
a raccoon. He kindly volun-
teered to teach me how to
handle it but by this time I
had the nut as far as the door
and it was not difficult to ease
him out.
Another time I was on the
dock at San Francisco, clearing
a shipment of over 10000 birds
through the customs, when a
woman rushed up to me and
exclaimed, $50 this is Mr.. Buck,
is it? The very man I want to
See!"
Then. before I knew what it
was all about. she thrust a
bird-cage in my face. $50 that's
a whistling thrush, is it? Well,
try to make it whistle!"
It seems that the woman had
purchased a Himalayan whisGl-
ing thrush at Sullivan's, a local
pet shop. One day, without
warning, the bird decided to
stop whistling. No amount of
coaxing could make it change
its mind. 1t had given up
music forever.
The woman took the bird
back to Sullivan's and asked
for refund of the purchase
price. AS she had bought the
bird some time before, Proprie-

ding to show his
stronger hearts later, z made
an opening bid of One Spade.
The Kobold nudged A, who
passed. Y bid Two Diamonds,
forcing another declaration
from z, who shifted to Two
Hearts. Y bid Two No Trumps.
When z bid Three Hearts, Y
went Four Hearts, which D
doubled.
A resisted the goblin's whis-
pered advice to lead a Spade.
He hesitated when tempted to
lead a Heart. A agreed when
told not to lead a Diamond.
Then he led his lowest Club.
Dummy played the Three.
Knowing that z must hold the
lone Ace, B played his Four.
The Ace won. The kobold
slipped back of z, urging him
to lead a Spade, but z obSti-
nately led his King of Hearts
and AS Ace won the trick.
Having been dealt four Trumps,
A was not adverse to forcing
the Declarer to ruff. A led his
Five of Clubs; Dummy played
the Seven. The Declarer
trumped BIS Ten. Noting the
fall of BIS Nine of Hearts.
and thinking of AS double, z
led his Four of Hearts. A
played the Three. DummyS
Seven won the trick, while the
Jack of Hearts held the next
trick.
Dummy's lowest Diamond
was led. The Declarer'S Ten
won the trick and his Queen
of Hearts picked up AS last
trump. Having won six of
the first seven tricks played,
z led his last Diamond, and
Dummy won four more tricks.
The last two tricks were won
by A, but the Declarer had
made his four, doubled.
The only opening lead that
could have defeated the best
possible play of z was a Dia-
mond, followed by another Dia-
mond, when A won his Heart
trick. That Diamond lead
would have prevented z from
obtaining his much needed dis
cards of losing Spades. The
lying kobold's advice not to
lead a Diamond ruined AS
chance to defeat the doubled
contract.
Doubtless the imp shrieked
with unholy mirth over the bid
ding and play of the hand
shown below. Miss Mary Moore
bread, who sat as dealer, made
an opening bid of Two Dia-
mondS, under official bidding
tactics. Before tomorrow think
over how the hand should be
bid and played under Suit-Over-
