The Twins Want Some
Questions Answered
Dear Miss Fairfax:
We have never written to you
before but we are regular read
ers of your column and we like
the advice you give. Would
you be kind enough to answer
a few questions for us?
1. At what age would you
consider letting a girl have an
occasional date alone?
2. What is the difference be-
tween petting and necking?
3. When a girl really likes a
boy who keeps breaking dates
with her for fantastic and un-
reasonable excuses, what should
she do about it?
4. Please give us a polite way
of refusing a date without Of
Tending, when you have good
and sufficient reasons of your
own. THE TWINS.
l. Not before she is Is.
2. My young correspondents
tell me there is no difference
whatever.
3. If in her place, I should
drop him. But some Of the
patient Griseldas keep right on.
4. You can always plead an
old engagement which has
slipped your memory. You can
have out-of-town friends COM
ing. You can have class or
club work for that particular
evening. While such excuses
may be white fibs, they will be
forgiven, it seems to me, be-
cause they are told to- spare
someone's feelings.

When Wisdom Comes

"nen WASUOm OUmcS
I once asked life upon me to
bestow
The fruits of gladness and the
wine of love;
I was the bee who woos all flow
ers that grow
And every sweet in all the fields
must prove.
But I would now be a philoSo-
pher,
Accepting gladly all that time
may bring,
Secure the seasons will on me
confer
My share of sun, my share Of
blossoming.
There is no folly like the fierce
desire
To clutch tomorrow's mystery,
to hold
At once all treasures which the
years conSpire
To keep in trust and slowly to
unfold.
But wisdom comes at last, and
now I find
Withholding may be good; de-
nial, kind.

We Sympathize With This
Husband

Dear Miss Fairfax:
We have been married over
two years and after I lost my
job we depended upon my wife's
family. When I got employ
ment we didn't move away but I
agreed to pay board to her
mother. I did that until I was
again laid off and we decided
to go to another city and live
with my folks. They were good
enough to take us in and feed
us, but as I couldn't get work,
my wife decided to go back to
her family alone.
When I got a job for
couple of days a week I wrote
to my wife and asked her to
come back to me, and twice I
sent her the money to do this.
But she says my parents home
is too noisy and she wants me
to rent room for her and live
outside. This 1 can't afford,
as I make only $40 week.
Sometimes I think I'll go away
and forget all about my wife,
but 1 love her devotedly and
believe she loves me. We have
no children. Please answer.
JUST BLUE.
People have to make all sorts
of concessions these days, and
if they love each other they
go through such experiences
like sports. AS you make only
$40 a week, I don't see how
your wife can expect you to
rent a room for her outside.
Write and tell her that as soon
as you get fulltime job you
will agree to live by yourselves,
but in the meantime. you have
to accept conditions as they

sharp pain in the ear which
may be worse at night. Pain Is
usually present also when the
mouth Is opened, while head
aches are frequent.
Should pus form within the
middle ear cavity and press on
the drum all the symptoms
noted above become more in
tense. In such cases it is often
necehhary to pierce the drum
in order to allow the pus to
escape. If not. further inflam'
matory extensions may take
place.
The chronic form of middle
ear disease usually follows re-
peated acute attacks. After q
time adhesions may grow in the
middle ear cavity, especially in
cases where there has been q
purulent discharge. This leads
to chronic deafness, head noises
necessary to pierce the drum
and the like. In the acute cases
deafness to a degree is likewise
present as a rule, but this disap-
pears when cure is effected.
Children who suffer from so
called running ears" should
never be allowed to go on un-
treated. Many cases Of perma-
nent and total deafness might
have been avoided if prompt
and expert medical aid had
been sought. What is more,
every individual with middle
ear disease, whether acute or
chronic, should be made to
build up his general health,
for this has tremendous bear
ing upon the improvement
which may be brought about in
the ear itself.
