Famous Authority on Problems
of Loue and Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
When we first met, he had
just broken up with his girl
friend. The next time I saw
him, they had made up. After
several weeks of this kind of
in and out, they broke up for
good, and he told me his feel
ing for her was dead.
"He suggested we keep our feel
ingS on a strictly friendly basis,
but everyone knows how much /
care for him, and it would be
hard not to see him, as we go
around with the same crowd. The
last time he took me home he
said: It's hard to see someone
you care for and still remain only
friends With me, this is not a
case of infatuatiOn. I'm not sus-
ceptibIe. LADY LONE WOLF"
1t seems to me you're making
very swift progress with this
young man, when he tells you
how hard it is to keep to a
friendly basis with someone he
cares for. I should say, from
many years of experience, this is
the first step toward a proposal.
And as you genuinely like him,
why worry?

NEEDS HELP
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:

baby the best of care, and have to
keep busy chasing after him, as
he's just at the miSchievOuS age
when he's into everything. Then
there is the usual hOuSewOrk-all
of it. So, when evening comes I
shake like a leaf, I'm so fatigued,
and could lie down and die.
"My husband works three days
a week and spends the rest of the
days downtown, when / think he
might stay at home and help a
little around the house. When
he's in a good mood he'll help
quite a lot, but he talks about it
forever after, and says he does
all the work around the house,

thing, he thinks.
"NOw, Miss Fairfax, if he worked
every day, like most men, would

only three days and work every
day. And you know, keeping a
baby clean and looking out for him
is job in itself. I'm nearly the
breaking point, and can't stand his
nagging any longer. I'm so tired
and nervous. "ONLY A WIFE"
