Advice to the
LoveIorn
Dear Miss Fairfax.

Lear MISS FalrIaX:
I am employed in one Of the
Government alphabetical bu-
reaus, which for the sake Of
camouflage I shall call P. D. @.
There I fell in love with very
good-looking fellow worker.
He said he loved me, too, and
there was some vague talk
about a wedding, and one Of
those dream cottages in the
suburbs. with Dorothy Perkins
roses growing over the front
door.
I had a little supper party
in my apartment one evening,
and he fell for a divorcee, q
regular movie type Of vamp,
who is living on alimony and
also q substantial sum which
she receives for settling q
breach Of promise case out Of
court. I am thoroughly dis
guSted with him for falling for
a woman of this type.
Shall I return some little
gifts he made me? Nothing
very valuable, books, some very
hemi-demi-semi precious jewell
ry, which didn't cost more
than S.. Or would it make
our brief and vague engage
ment too important if I did
this? DISILLUSIONED.
A vague understanding, such
as you describe, is made more
important by sending things
back. Modern young people
burn 1ove-letters that didn't
make the grade, these days,
instead of dramatically de-
manding their return.
If the boy friend has fallen
for a cheap vamp, you've made
fortunate escape, don't you
think?

GIVING A BOY A GUN TEACHES
 HIM DESTRUCTIVE HABITS

Should a boy have a gum? The editors of the Parents Mag azine" have invited my comment on the question As the wife of soldier who was through the thickest fighting in the | World war, seeing, knowing, living enduring war. and the inevitable aftermath, it would seem my per- | sonal prejudice must color any statement I make today. But I speak objectively when I | give reasons for boys not playing with guns. It has, except very re- motely, little to do with war at all.
 Briefly I believe that gun, a cap pistol, an air-rifle, toy shot gun, or a junior fire-arm of any official type associate habit" with destruction, and the very danger of their gripping interest under mines construction and accents ruin.
 Destroying Manliness l think that instead of fostering manliness they destroy it. Manli- ness never seeks to destroy the un- protected, to snipe at birds of pot a cat.
 The excuse of becoming expert shots, of perfecting aim and com petitive sportsmanship is good one, but it doesn't wear. The first thing a boy tries after he has mas tered a fixed target is to try for q moving one. Most things that move are alive.
 Then eventually comes the as- sociation of personal affront with the handy proxy. That is all gun is, proxy" to do the dirty work a man would be afraid to tackle himself, either by his wits or his fists.
 Guns are Male Panacea
 Of course, it would be silly to say that this is the inevitable end of all gun practice, because thou sands of excellent shots would never think of hurting any one deliber- ately. But the point remains that thousands will and many hundreds do.
 The gun has become the male panacea, the cure-all, the great last word.
 AS a means of defense either on the road or in the home it is joke. For every shot fired in a month in self defense there are lit orally thousands fired in vendetta, reprisal, law defiance and planned murder and .banditry.
 We don't give boys matches or razors and send them out to play. Because they would hurt 'them- selves. We give them guns because it's only something else that is to be hurt.
 Gun Inhabition Is Best
 Let the boy admire the soldier, as he admires the fireman, or the trouble-shooter who climbs up among deadly currents and wires Some day he may even be soldier himself.
 All right. But he won't have grown up to think gun is sport made for his own fun or pal to sweep away obstacles. or a protec- ton to make others keep his rules. His habits and his psychology will be straight ,or should be, if his aim isn't for the moment. As a private citizen he won't carry au- thority in his pocket or go and buy it if someone makes him mad. He will have an inhibition against gun and it is better so.

Caught With Pores Open

Caught With Pores Open
 How about it. Doc. asks A. L. F., inclosing a clipping which tells how a man was poisoned by the spray which he was using on pota- to plants, on a Friday. The man was better on Saturday, and Dr. So-and-So said the patient would probably be released in a day or two. The item goes on to explain that the man was poisoned by a solution of arsenic and nicotine en- tering the body through the pores of the skin.
 I suspect the reporter contribu- ted the explanation of the manner in which the poisoning occurred. Physicians are getting more eau tious every day about committing themselves like that. How is the doctor to know in such case tha: some parlor practitioner or other may not bounce on the thing and play it up in the papers as a hu- morous item?
 In the same mail came another letter from a reader who incloses a clipping of a story about the rescue of the Connor child, and in this clipping another eminent col league. the head of a hospital, is quoted as strong believer in pores. This savant makes no bones of it at all. but comes right out in unmistakable quotation marks saying that rainstorm on the night the child was lost may have saved the child's life, for he be- lieved enough water could have entered the infants system through the pores of his skin to prevent complete dehydration even though he found no water to drink.
 But on sober second thought the doctor evidently decided to ease down bit on that. Or other doctors, rushing into print, thought it well to temper the claim some- what One other doctor is quoted as follows: "He could have ab- sorbed moisture through his pores when it rained and from the wet underbrush. but he could not get enough moisture that way :"
 A pore is an opening through which something is absorbed or taken in. There are no such open ings in the human skin. Don't take my word for it.

 That a bedroom should be sim pified as far as possible and SUD- piled with a maximum of items to promote neatness is one of Mrs. Wright's theories. Some of the other bedroom accessories that she considers necessities arc: powerful light over the dress ing table that can be adjusted at various angles to promote con- venience and speed in makeup: bedside table with provision for books, magazines and wated bot tie; an adequate light for reading in bed.
 Because her house has low cell ings and is narrow. as most New York houses are, Mrs Wright has cut off the legs of most of her furniture so that the rooms will seem larger.

Long ago the most famous au- thorities on beauty realized and said that a smooth, white throat is one of the first requisites of charni and beauty. Modern cosmeticians, a bit more practical perhaps poin, out that the throat is the telltale of age.
 No matter how smooth the skin on her face may be or how bright and shining her eyes, one look at a girls neck is enough for me to tell not only her age, bu. just how carelessly she has been doing her home beauty treatments" a famous diagnositcian of complex ion ailments told me the other day
 Its unfortunate indeed, but a good many women who are par ticularIy careful to preserve the freshness of youth in their faces, neglect their throats. After all, if her face needs certain oils. creams and lotions, there's no reason for a girl to assume that her throat doesn't"

 Remember that muscle oil goes far toward eliminating lines, fine wrinkles and saiiowness. Clean your face and neck and then put a thin layer of the oil on your throat. Using a batter or your flngertips, gently pat your throat for few minutes.

 For decoration Mrs. Wright has relied upon exQuisite-textured fab rics-a fine tapestry upon tho foot and head boards of the twin beds. and elegant damask upon the chaise tongue. Although she thinks chintzes often are ideal for bedrooms, she has not made use of them here because they did not harmonize Inci- dentially. she warns the woman who must make her chintzes last a long time not to choose fantastic or exaggerated patterns.
