Advice for
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX


Tries to Take Mothers Place
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Mother died last May. At
that time I was engaged to
a splendid young man and ex.
pected to be married the fol.
lowing September. I was
broken-hearted over mothers
death, and fearing that father
would marry woman to whom
he had been attentive during
mothers lifetime, I broke my
engagement to devote my en-.
tire time to the home and the
younger children.
1t seems that my sacrifice
was useless. Father is to be
married almost Immediately,
and the sister next to me has
left home and taken a job.
Perhaps if I had married, 1
might have been able to do
more for the younger children
than I can as a Superfluous
daughter in the home Of a
termagant stepmother. Already
she has come to the house and
thrown away many of mothers
things.
Do you think it would look
weak and vacillating if I were
to write to my fiance and say
I had made a mistake? I
hear he has not been attentive
to anyone in the meantime.
LYDIA.
Write that letter before the
sun sets today, my dear Lydia,
and make it plenty humble,
too. Under the stress Of your
grief you've made a sorry mis-
take. Try to rectify it before
it's too late. AS you realize
now, you will be able to do
more for the younger children
as an independent matron
than as a daughter in your
fathers house.
1t seems to me there is no
martyr in the world like the
girl who tries to take her
mothers place in a family.
She gives up so much that the
family takes for granted. Go
and live your own life, and
lots of luck to you!

CHAPTER II

Lily Lou tried to think, but
her brain wouldn't work. She
was just one blob of pain. Her
head ached, her eyes, her very
bones. She wished no, no,
she wouldn't wish it but,
oh, to be back again-just her
self. just Lily Lou Lansing.
Ken was driving. Just driv-
ing. Nowhere in particular.
They were on a dusty, unused
road, now, in the low hills, back
of Piedmont. He stopped in the

reached for his lighter. But he
didn't light the cigarette. He

Lily Lou didn't cry, but she

Suggestions For
Housewives

For blackheads and pimples,
try the yeast pack. Dissolve a
cake of yeast in a small quan-
tity of boiling water, spread
over the face and neck and lay
on towels which have been
wrung out of hot water. Let
remain for 5 or 10 minutes.
Lave with warm water, then
with cold. Pat boric acid into
the skin. Nice way to spend a
dull evening.

brokenly, his head heavy on her
knees.
Still Loves Him
When at last he lifted his face
and met her gaze, his cheeks
flushed, his eyes blurry, such a
rush of tenderness as she had
never felt before washed over
Lily Lou, and she didn't care
that he was weak, that he had
cried, that he had quailed before
his mother. She only knew
that she loved him and that she
had not know. that love could
be like this-so weighted with
pain-so binding. And the
thought came to her, that even
when Mrs. Sargent had had
their marriage annulled she
would still be tied to Ken. E.

Able card analysts and strate-
gists are rare. The former can
at once grasp the vital feature
of a hand, even without playing
it. The latter can detect the
salient points through the bid
ding, fall of the cards, or even
by noting what opponents fail
to do. The majority Of able
players are more opportunists
than they are either analysts
or strategists; they note the
errors of opponents and profit
by them; the analyst sees from
the first his one best chance
and plans his game accord
ingly; the strategist watches for
his chance to create a situation.
The next hand shows how the
analyst at once notes his line
of procedure, and then plans
his strategy,

When Manners

Umbrella Carrying

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A man friend of mine says
that it is not a mans place to
carry woman's umbrella when
it is closed. I said that it is his
place. Who is right? M. B.
Most women don't like to
"inflict" this social duty on a
man, and I think that they are
right. I suppose that if we
wish to be very finicky about
this social duty, we might say
that the man should carry the
umbrella for a woman, but
usually she carries her own UNI

BARBECUE KING
ARRIVES FOR
PRESS FETE
Texas Specialist Brings
Secret Recipe For
Beach FroIic

Possibly the effete East
erners Of Washington don't
realize the extent 70 the tech
meal problems of a barbecue.
However that may be, John
Snider, acclaimed king of the
barbecue cooks, has come to
Washington to run the show
Of the National Press Club at
it's Texas barbecue, to be held
Saturday at Chesapeake Beach.
Snider came all the way from
Amarillo, Tex. 1850 miles. When
he learned that there would be
5000 persons at the barbecue he
wasn't in the least daunted; he
has done barbecues for 10000
persons.
Method Unique
His method Of preparing bar
becue is unique. He cooks the
yearling as a whole, instead Of
O4N4u1uk ~ AL 4AG4NCSS 0SSO1 SA41AS
to time-honored custom. The
cooking requires 10 to is hours.
Then he has his own special
sauce, the recipe for which he
guards carefully. Snider brought
along a big supply Of Mexican
Strawberries" otherwise beans,
which he will serve as a side
dish at the famous feast.
Eight In His Party
There are eight in Snider's
party, and he will shortly en-
camp at the beach to prepare
for his big job Saturday. Eight
cords Of seasoned oak will be
used for fuel.
Snider explains his advent into
the profession Of barbecuer by
saying he used to go to a lot Of
barbecues and usually wound up
as the only sober man there.
This circumstance, he says, led
him to the conclusion that he
was cut out to be a barbecuer.
Snider was impressed by the
sight of the Capitol and wants
to see a ball game while he is
in town.
