Famous Authority On Love and
Marriage
Fathers Love Affair a Joke
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
There's a very charming
young lady in the early twen-
ties, in our firm, whom i some
TINES take to lunch, the thea
ter, and again to dinner. My
family's attitude toward this
is utterly maddening. They
just laugh. If I put on 8 new
recktie or get anything new
my sons ask, "Is it lunch, din
ner or a show, Dad?" and my
wife cuts out all the advertise
ments Of specifics for bald
heads and gives them to me.
My daughter, aged %, asks if
they restore brains as well as
hair. My name at hcme is
"The Old Reliable Sugar Daddy"
I don't want to break up my
home, get a divorce or do any
thing reckless, but I do want
to take this girl out when 1
feel like it.
PATER FAMILIAS.
You're not the first man who
has, suffered, my dear Pater
Familias, from trying to per-
form the impossible feat Of eat
ing and keeping your cake. The
spectacle of a bald-headed gen.
teleman with grown children
taking out a young lady Of
tender years has proved to be
the plot of many a successful
comedy or light opera. Why
shouldn't the home circle as
we'll as the box office get a lit
tie something out of it. too? I
wish more wives would see the
Strayings of their near-elderly
husbands in the same light.
October Wrought a Change
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Last May I met a boy and
became quite fond of him. We
travelled around together all
summer, but in october he
started to wander away from
me. He never calls up or comes
to see. me any more. People
tell me tnat he is seen occasion
ally with another girl. When
ever I call him up he seems
quite friendly and glad to hear
from me, but that is all. He is
so changed!
Sometime when you call him
up for a friendly chat, why
don't you say casually, 1--WE
haven't seen each other for a
long time; why don't you drop
around? Or if you think this
too pointed, why not try the old
reliable scheme Of giving a lit
tie party, a foursome would do,
and invite him. If he fails to
respond to either Of these bids
there is nothing left, I'm afraid,
but to fall back on your pride
and make a recovery. Men are
often like sheep on the great
Western ranges. They stray
too far from the flock to return,
and the poor things don't even
know the reason why.
Cast AsperiOns On Her Cooking
Dear Miss Fairfax:
have been married six
months and I am utterly tired
of my husbands jocularity on
the subject of my cooking. Be
fore my marriage I had an ex-
Cellent position and made a
good salary. I did not specialize
in keeping house, but I had
saved enough money from my
salary to make our little home
very comfortable. I give him
toast and bacon and eggs for
breakfast, and know how to
cook two good dinner dishes.
To be quite truthful, my hus-
band thinks entirely too much
about what he eats.
YOUNG WIFE.
think your breakfast menu
is all right, especially if you give
him some fruit. You might vary
the bacon and eggs occasionally
with Clipped beef, scrambled
eggs, or fish cakes. But to be
perfectly fair, my dear, I think
you should know how to pre-
pare more than two dinner
dishes. Why not go to a cook.
ing school and become prof.
cient? 1t really is very good
fun.
