Rival Has Very Nice Clothes
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am in love with a boy 18
years old. He likes me, too, but
as am not allowed to go to
parties and have dates, he be-
gan going with another girl. I
see him every day, and even
though 1 fill my time with other
things, I can't forget him.
The other girl is rather
wealthy and has very nice
clothes, and is better looking
than am. The boy still talks
and acts as If he likes me, al
though everyone invites him
and that girl out together, and
links their names. She and I
never knew each other till just
now. She hates me because
she says might take the boy
away from her. I treat her very
we'll, as I know it wouldn't do
me any good not to. B. e.
You are very sensible to treat
the other girl well, even if she
does hate" you. Good sports
msnship always counts in the
long run.
And I'm not going to hand
you out any platitudes about
possessing your soul in patience.
I think it's tco bad when pa
rents won't let their daughters
of II 60 to parties. Here's hop
ing they'll change their minds
and let you begin.
Still She's Not Satisfied
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I'm a young man Of 20 and
very much in love with a girl
of II, and we've been going
together for over a year. Lately
she's been telling me that I
can see her only three or four
nights a week, but when we
began going together she in
sisted that I come around every
night.
I try every way I know how
to please this girl, but don't
succeed. I'm not working
steadily, but manage to take
her to the movies almost every
night I call. Still, she isn't
satisfied. She knows I'm deeply
in love with her. Do you sup
pose that's the trouble? OBJ.
Well, my dear o. B., the
trouble with this somewhat
cantankerous young lady is that
you've been too good to her,
and she doesn't appreciate you.
In your place, I should try
taking some other girl out to
a movie occasionally, and see if
that would not bring her to
terms.

Since a great many women
choose the spring season to get
their Semi-annual permanent,
it seems to be a propitious time
to give the project a little seri.
Gus thought.
Good Foundation
The best permanent in the
world given by the most expert
operator can be a flop if the
hair and scalp are in poor
condition. The success Of the
wave you are contemplating de-
pends largely on a good healthy
scalp, which is the foundation
for beautiful hair.
# the hair Is extremely dry,
permanent tends to make it
brittle AND Straw-like. The
oily type very often fails to
take a deep wave.
A series of scalp treatments
several mon' hs before a p2r-
manent will help put the hair
in condition. Brisk brushing

Mutual understanding and al
lection between mother and
child is not uncommon. 1t is
more often the rule than the
exception.
Tired Father
But the relationship between
father and child is not always
so perfect. The father, busy at
his office during the day, tired
when he comes home in the
evening and looking only for
peace and quiet on Sundays
and holidays, is not apt to be as
tolerant and sympathetic as the
mother.
Mother finds herself called
upon to act as mediator between
the two.
Too often she solves the prob
lem by making herself the
child's refuge from the fathers

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-"An

than a columnist's catch-phrase
this season, since spring styles
are literally bed Of flowers.
Meaning not only those pretty
posies that flourish on printed
frocks and be-flowered hats, but
actual nosegays Of artificial
blossoms.
Women are buying these

The easy, inexpensive way to
do it is to add collar and cuff
set, a Queen Elizabeth ruff, or a
clever vest or plaStron.
Crochet Accessories
Nimble fingers will get busy
and crochet or knit new collar
or vest. They are smart of cot
ton, boucle, linen thread, or Of
crepe paper.
Those of you who have Gro
cheted things Of crepe paper be-
fore need no introduction to it,
but it might be we'll to explain it
to others.
Linen-Like Articles
It sounds fantastic, until
you've seen things made Of
strips of plain ordinary crepe
paper, stretched a little, twisted,
and crocheted into a meshy lin
en-looking article.
You can make any accessory
of it, from hats to handbags.
There are many colors to choose
from, and the work goes fast,
and is easy. Needless to say,
articles made in this way are ey.
tremely inexpensive.
We're showing a plastron col
lar effect on our page today,
crocheted Of crepe paper. It
takes only one fold, which costs
IS cents, and you use a regular
No. 0 crochet hook.
New Square Collar
The plastron also makes a
belt for your dress, and is in
the very new square shape,
which you'll find smart for
spring. You can put a buckle
on it. or a button and loop if
you prefer.
Well gladly send you instruc-

How good to see the way, to
know the path
Whereon I shall this hour set
my feet:
How good to leave behind the
doubt, the wrath
And all the dull insignia of de-
feat!
No wanderer cropping long
through underground
Black caves, down chambers
echoing and cold,
Can, glimpsing daylight, thrill
with SO profound
A rapture when he sees the
suns warm gold
Upon the meadows. hears the
lark's clear call,
AS this day I, who have ar
rived at last
At the sure boundary of a mas
Sive wall
Which shuts me out from all

How good to know that 1, who

If no, physical cause is found
you must teach the boys to be

CLERGYMAN TO BE NAMED PRESIDENT
 OF DUCKPIN LOOP
Rev William Wirkus to Be Elected By Holy Manners
 Tomorrow

Rev William Wirkus of St. Pat rick's parish will be elected presi- dent of the general Holy Name so- ciety bowling league at the annual meeting of team representatives to- morrow night. Father Wirkus is an enthusiastic pinman, having rolled in the league and held his own against some of the leading pro- fessionals and his leadership of the circuit would be it's greatest as- set. Last season he was runnerup for the highest number of strikes as we'll as other prizes. He is also listed among the highest three bowlers in St. Patrick's inter-Holy Name circuit.
 Announcement has been made to the fleet that no etries will be re- ceived after the meeting tomorrow evening. The drawing for the open ing games is listed to be made and the circuit charter discussed. All clergymen are invited to attend the meeting and offer suggestions that will be of assistance to the circuit. It is expected that the elimination of cash prizes will add to the in- terest and bring about a closer race. The session will start at o'clock.
