BY All Means, Wait

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am II, and have fallen in
love with one Of my classmates.
We both graduated from high
school in June. He has asked
me to become engaged to him.
but I think I might meet some
one else later on, for whom I
would care more. And yet I
think it's very smart to become
engaged and marry as soon as
you graduate. SEVENTEEN.
Please don't Sign up" for
life at II and become engaged
to this boy. Doubtless, you will
not be able to marry for some
time, unless he has inherited
money.
No young man, who has just
graduated from high school is
apt to have the wherewithal to
maintain a wife and home.
It seems smarter to me to re-
main single, under the circum'
stances.

The climate Of Greece is
especially favorable to the pro"
duction Of good wines. The
vines grow mostly on the sides
of the many hills, and prosper
wonderfully in the mellow sun
shine. Cultivation, while it fol-
lows the general traditional
methods, has also fallen in with
modern, scientific improve
ments, and the result is truly
excellent.
The districts of Cephalonia
and Patras appear to produce
the majority Of exported, and
better known wines. There are
both red and white wines, and
a variety Of strengths and bou'
Quets to choose from.
Popular Brands
Some of the most frequently
found modern Greek wines are:
Gold Malmsey. This is a white
dessert wine, from Patras, and
is quite sweet and heavy, Of ex-
eellent flavor.
Fine Muscato. A white dessert
wine, produced in Cephalonia.
It is one of the best, being sweet
and very delicate.
Gold MalvaSier is another
sweet dessert wine from PatraS,
having an unusually piquant
aroma and taste.
Mavrodaphne, the leading and
best known Greek wine, con-
tains only about 13 per cent al

Nectar. In spite Of the fact
that, according to legend, this
was the favorite wine Of the
godS-who, goodness knows,
should have been able to pick
and choose the best!-it is now
known as light wine for chill

Cold Showers Help
Dear Miss Shelby:

Dear Miss Shelby:
have soft, large thighs and
arms. What shall I do to make
them firm. Would exercise on
a rowing machine help?
I am about five feet five
inches tall. What should I
weigh? Due to many sprains
I have large ankles. Will on
ankle strap bring the swelling
down? Sincerely. DING.
Dear D. M. c.:
At your age and height you
should weigh about 122.
Exercise will help firm your
legs and arms. Yes, the rowing
machine would help. Follow
directions given with it.
Cold showers following your
daily bath with a brisk rub
down with a rough towel to
bring up the blood will help
make the flesh firmer. Use
cold water frequently during
the day.
Your ankles evidently are
weak. I suggest that you con-
suit a good chiropodiSt and
have him prescribe an ankle
strap or arch for you.

-. Their married life in the
country club house. Susan
stood shaking her head in the
darkness Of the veStibule as she
thought about the house. She
simply would not live in that
house.
CHAPTER XIII
The clock in the reception
room struck once for half past
eight as she turned back into
the hall. Half past eight.
Supper would be over at the
Cullens by this time, and John
and Mr.. Sholes would probably
be out in the kitchen helping
the girls with the dishes. They
would be laughing and talking,
having a fine invigorating time.
Mary would be looking very
domestic with her sleeves rolled
up on her white arms, as she
washed dishes, and her eyes
would shine like emeralds
under the unshaded kitchen
lights.
A little after eleven she heard
John and Mr.. SholeS come up
the stairs together, and a min.
ute afterward John tapped on
her door. II saw that your
light was on" he said when she
opened 1t, "and I thought that
you might like to start this to.
night. Mary sent it to you."
How did Mr.. Sholes and the
CullenS get on?" she asked.
Like q house afire." John
laughed. "Old Mary certainly
went after him in a big way.
She got out her banjo and went
through the whole book of blues
for him, and Sara made waffleS
and coffee just before we left.
He had a darned good time,
and I was sure glad after the
awful icing that the family gives
him around this house"
Susan went back to bed and
opened the Walpole book. But
she did not read it. She lay
thinking about Mary Cullen.
No doubt Mary had a way with
men.
Presents
Besides her own attractions,
she had the attractions of tne
Cullen house for a background,
Susan went on thinking. Aunt
Neu'S pantry was always filled
with delicious things to eat, and
there was radio, a piano and
a phonograph, for music if the
young people wanted to dance.
II could be interesting to him,
too, If I had half a chance"
thought Susan, Even if I can't
play the banjo like a darky."
For the first time in her life
something like a feeling Of dis
like of Mary crept into her
heart-of Mary who had al.
ways been her favorite Cullen.
Mary had so man, admirers.
Why had she had to reach out
after Mr.. Sholes?-Just another
scalp for her belt
All at once it flashed across
Susan's mind that she was
thinking of Mary Cullen as her
rival.
She switched off the light,
punched her pillow under her
head and closed her eyes, her
left hand with Wallace'S ring
on it like seal, pressed under
one cheek.
At the breakfast table on
Christmas morning Susan op-
ened Wallace's Christmas pack

a gray jewelers. box and inside
the box was neat little wrist
watch set with baguette dia.

Costs Him His Job

Dear Miss Fairfax:
wanted to be a pharmacist
and along came the depression,
and here am in a drugstore,
jerking soda. And I wish to
heaven, a certain girl had left
me alone.
It about cost me my job any,
way. She comes into the store
three or four times a day,
perches on a stool and CABS to
me.
The manager told me it had
to stop. but I don't think a
locomotive could stop her.
Finally, the boss said WED
better call it quits Saturday
night"
I begged him to let me stay,
because every cent is needed at
home, and if I lose my job, I
don't know what mother will
do. I've never encouraged this
girl and now I just hate her.
SODA JERKER.
I'm thankful to say the ma
jority Of girls are not like this.
They're so afraid of seeming to
"chase" a boy that they pass up
plenty of good times.
This young lady who's prob
ably cost you your job is just
indulging in a prankish desire
to tease. And sincerely hope
if this should meet the eye OF
the manager, he'll give you an
other break.

There is one such fluid, a new

Just drape your shoulders with a

through it. The fluid evapo-

Two years ago there was consider
ablue argument over at the state cap
itol about having the state take over
all the road work in the entire state
do the actual work with state en-
ployees, collect and spend the road
tax monies of every sort. There was
considerable opposition to this plan
and it wasn't put thru. Since that
time there has been quite lot Of ar
gument, pro and con, of doing away
with the county road districts and
having all the county road work hand
led by tn engineers office under the
supervision of the commissioners
Proponents of the plan claim that
it would eliminate the investment Of
duplicate sets of machinery, the whole
county work could be better handled
under one head and it would do away
with the controversial plan of allow
ing commissioner to act as his own
road supervisor. They claim that a
substantial saving could be effected
were such plan to be adopted this
county, for instance. It's something
to think about.

new Taxation methods may result, It
is of course, too early to tell.
One of the best proofs of this is
the recent statement by Senator Car

so long has been an outstanding fig

and said it with emphasis, that "there
is a pay day coming" He amplified
his remark only to the extent of say

that if the credit of the federal gov

A group of young men, interested
in better and cleaner politics has or
ganized what may become new po-
litical party. They call themselves
the order of Cincinnatus. Their plat
form includes the abolition of county
government, sheriffs, advocate diver
sion of liquor profits to pay old age
pensions, whipping posts for public
officials convicted of graft or en-
bezzlement and so on. Several of their
planks have reas onableness to them
which will attract many followers.
Possibly the best one in the bunch is
that Of substituting a non-political
state police for the usual elective
county sheriffs. Such states as have
already adopted the constabulary
seem to think the plan is great i'm
provement over the old.
