Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

married men say: my wife's
q fine woman, but she's q
mystery to mel" Are all the
danes riddles, and Is that the
reason the ancient Egyptians
put a woman's head on the
Sphynx-the unsolved riddle Of
the world?
FUTURE BENEDICT.
Don't worry! The good
Lord in His wisdom, know
ing the fickleness and change
ableness of human nature,
evolved a plan to keep men
and women together. The plan
is-a never satisfied curiosity.
And while you're puzzling
over the mystery of this girl,
who will be your wife in two
months, she's probably con-
fiding to her best girl friend:
II adore Benedict, but I just
can't understand him"
And the mystery, the never
satisfied interest, the eternal
unfathomlessness that one sex
holds for the other, does more
to keep men and women to-
gether than any other prop to
the ancient and honorable in
stitution of marriage.
Benedict wonders why his
wife, throwing a ten-horse-
power tantrum at breakfast, is
all loving devotion when he
comes home at night. And
the young wife, racking her
brains to understand why Bene-
dict, who was so downright
stingy over the dress she really
needs, should come home with
an expensive lavalliere she
doesn't need at all.
AS for the women men fall
in love with-and the men
women regard as sheiks-can
these unfathomable riddles
ever be explained to either sex?
All women feel that men park
their brains when they go a.
courting "other" women; and
men can see nothing whatever
in the heroes women fall for.
Their verdict Is that these pop
ular sheiks are "Sissies, freaks,
egotists, pitiful absurdities that
no man would waste a moment
over"
I've had scores of men write
me to this effect, but the
women keep right on finding
these sheiks and heroes fas-
cinating. And why did he
fall for that silly moron who
didn't even know how to make
up?" That appears to be the
cardinal sin that one woman
holds against the other-she
doesn't know how to apply the
prettiers successfully.
So it goes. And the wonder
and mystery of that eternal
riddle makes "the other party"
more than interesting. Neither
sex can understand why the
other is so easily fooled. Then
they begin to feel sorry for
each other, and as a poet has
said: "Pity is akin to love-"
So, an, all-wiSe Providence,
in looking around for some
thing to keep tickle men and
women together. hit upon mys-
terry, interest, curiosity.
Don't worry, my dear Bene-
dict. The little lady probably
finds you are incomprehensible
as you find her-and that's the
safety valve Of the institution
Of matrimony.

Dummy's Ace won, and picked
up Vests last trump, by lead

from dummy enabled the de-
clarer to gain entry to his own

clubs. Upon them dummy let
go both his small spades, en-
abling dummy to ruff the last
spade held by the declarer, and
giving him 5-odd. Opponents
won only the two tricks taken
by Aces. Had West made an
opening lead Of a spade the
declarer could have won only

to his equally strange death.

old eccentric dead on the floor Of his

out by the roots, his head crushed and
an ear torn away.

tary, Lee Weinstein. were found yester-
day afternoon. Weinstein, A years
old. had been shot Five bullets were
found in his head and body.
Robbery was not the motive. Detec-
tives announced that with certainty

not been touched, nor had any papers
and the pockets Of the two men had
not been rifled.

Perhaps some tenant Of Ridley prop
erties-Ridley was reputedly wealthy
may have gone to the offlce, damp
gloom cubbyhole IS feet under the
street level, and sought to avenge some

day upon that theory.
The double murder appeared as in
soluble as the murder in the same weird
