Dear Miss Fairfax:
'T am now "a, but when l
was 10, I met the only girl I've
ever cared about. She loved me
with equal devotion, but her
parents said I was nobody and
had nothing which perhaps
was true, but could have done
great things with that girl as
my wife.
"They harried and tormented
her until she finally gave in
and married an older man with
money.

I've lost all ambition because
my fighting goal is gone. I
would leave Washington, but I
think she may need me and
send for me, and so I wait.
"ADRIFT."
Your inclination to stand by
like a knight of old, to protect
this young woman, is a gener-
GUS thought, but I am afraid
1t is not really to her advantage.
She has married another
man, and If she is to get any
happiness out of this marriage,
she must forget you, and that
will be almost impossible If
you continue to wait around in
the hopes she will send for you.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

year, and work as hard as my
husband, as we're both trying

Leather Chairs

The chairs are upholstered
in leather in a color best de.
scribed as "old red" because it
has the look of having been
aged, like good wine. The
drapery fabric repeats the color,
and there are beige and gray
in .--ere too. The rest of the
colors in the room carry out
the same scheme. Venetian
blinds at the windows make
glass curtains unnecessary. The
room should really be seen to
be appreciated. as we can't
show it all, and the colors are
impossible to really describe.

care. Some types Of skin re,
quire several creams and To-
tons; other types can be cared
for properly with one or two.
But all skins, unless one goes
native in some remote paradise,
require a bit more pampering
than soap and water scrub
bingS.
The majority Of American
women have excessively dry
skin. This may be caused by
adverse climatic conditions or
unsatisfactory diet, but the
common feminine complaint is:
"My skin feels like sandpaper
most Of the time"
Now that summer Is ap-
preaching, women find it nee.
essary to cleanse their faces
much more frequently than
they did during the winter
months. This procedure. unless
1t Is done with some thought,
robS the skin Of its natural
fabrication and banishes youth.
And as the skin must be kept
free Of all impurities, to prevent
blemishes. it is up to you to find
some mild cleansing preparation
that will lubricate your skin
slightly.
Among those products that
make an original humble bow
and gradually become popular
on merit alone is a lotion that,
in hot weather, is Everything"
to many types Of skin. I have
told you of this before, perhaps
a year ago, but it is worthy of
a second mention.
It is a deep-pore cleanser, a
mild astringent, and If applied
with a good rubbing it serves as
a necessary stimulant to lazy
pores, thus encouraging natural
secretion.
During hot weather, when you
are not exposing your skin to
the direct rays of the sun for
minutes on end, it serves nicely
as a makeup base and a protec-
ton.
And to cap it all, this product
is very reasonable, especially
when you think Of its manifold
blessings to the busy woman.

The Right Way

Their birth and survival was,
as I have said, a medical mir.
acle. But their present develop.
ment is the most dramatic and
convincing proof Of what can
be done with almost any baby
material If you go about doing
It in the right way. And that
way is, so to speak, well worn
rather than miraculous. Ought
not average, everyday parents
to be glad Of it?
A few among the thousands
Of friendly letters which I have
received since the beginning OF
this series of articles, have
sounded as If the writers were
o little aggrieved because I do
not offer sensational suggeS'
tions. Their attitude seems to be,
I'VE know all about this
Why don't you tell us something
more exciting?"
In the first place while, In
one sense, everything connected
with a baby is exciting, in an
other sense nothing is. A healthy.
normal baby plays the game OF
life pretty much according to
Q few simple rules.
If you know these rules 1t IS
well to be suspicious Of any
startling variation Of which you
may hear, and you certainly
never should experiment with
such a variation except on the
advice and consent OF your
own doctor. A baby is no test

Correct Room

Just to show you how well
modern furniture can look in a
right setting, we have photo
graphed a dining room which
is on display in a downtown
store. There's really nothing
elaborate about the room, or
the setting. it's just simple
and right for the furniture.
Gilbert Rhode, who is prob
ably the best known designer
Of modern furniture now, Gre
ated this roomful of beautiful
furniture. It Is not so extreme
that it will offend lovers of the
