Go to the Legal Aid Society or

Beatrice Fairfax Says: Madness of Love Passion Has p
Beauty
Shapely Legs
And Styles
By DONNA GRACE

We think you should be re.
minded of the fact that legs and
ankles will be very much in evl.
dence during the spding and sum-
mer season.
The styles for southern wear are
showing the new sports and street
clothes all with shorter skirts.
Many of them almost suggest the
knee-length that was so popular
five or six years ago, and they
are so smart and trim in those
clean, knife pleats Of white and
summer colors.
The short skirt styles are al
ways received with great eclat, ex.
cept by the girl or woman whose
ankles and legs are not so shapely
as they should be. They are nat.
urally in a dilemma when they
must choose between the slightly
outmoded longer skirt that may
shield the too-Sizeable ankle and
the pert little short length that
follows fashions dictates but az
fordS no screen or camouflage.
1t is really not such a serious
situation after all. We may wear
the new fashions for spring with
out hesitation If we will go to
work at once on the thick, heavy
ankles and legs. They will respond
very satisfactorily to certain acts
of exercise that I have prepared
for you, and during the winter
months you will need just such
exercises to keep fit and vigorous.
There is, as we have often said,
the Importance of a restricted
diet to bear in mind when reduc-
ing any part of the body. There
are beauty salons and other in
situations that specialize in reduc-
ing any diversified part of the
body and the routine and diScip-
line of regular treatment is nee
esSary for some girls and Is al.
ways a stimulus for any one who
may lack the will to do the exer-
ciSeS at home.
You may have my Leg and
Ankle Reducing Exercise and q
Reducing Diet, If you wish.

This appears TO be poHLe way
Of putting the homely fact that
when passion completely over
masters reason, the victim is nc
longer sane.
You've only to read the papers
to be convinced of thiS-the utter
madness of men and women in the
clutch of passion, who fling away
responsibilities to children, judg
ment and ambition, and bolt
madly, like sheep going over
cliff.
Fantastic murders have their
roots il these insane impulses.
The girl who wrote me the letter
fears she may be implicated in
Q sensational murder. The mar,
ried man with whom she eloped
from school at the age of IT. is
"mixed up in it," to what extent
she does not know.
And the blind impulse that led
her to leave home, devoted par
ents and everything life holds
precious, for this criminsl, is
prompting her to go down with
him now, to admit things she
didn't do in the hope OF helping
him.
He has never been faithful to
her, or to the wife he left for
her, nor has he ever done an
honest days work.
This girl, who comes from ex-
cellent people and a good home,
has done unspeakable things to
keep him supplied with money
When she hasn't given him
enough, he has gone back to his
wife, who seems to be under the
same hypnotic spell as this un-
happy girl.
She tells me that when she is
away from him, she has flashes of
being her old self; that she plans
to break away and lead decent
life; to beg her parents to take
her back. She is still in the early
twenties.
But when she comes within
range Of her destroyer, she cannot
resist his influence; does what.
ever he prompts-though she
hates him.
Blindly obedient to the COM
mands Of one who has completely
mastered her will, she is like an
unwilling creature. caught in a
trap.
She hates, yet she has no power
to refuse him, though the COM
mand may mean imprisonment
even death.
Passion can awaken superhu-
man energy by its irresistible
urge; can evoke tremendous
forces, and can drive well-regu-
lated, law-abiding person to crime.
To ask my correspondent to
break with this criminal would be
as futile as trying to shout down
Niagara. Her will has gone, her
thraldom to him is complete.
If she should happen to see this
answer to her letter-for she has
not given me either her name or
address-let me beg her to seek
some safe refuge, something like
the Salvation Army, and beg her
parents to come to her rescue.
Whom the gods would destroy,
they first make mad"

BOY FRIEND A "PEST"
StDear Miss Fairfax:

DeaE MISS ta1F1aXs
81 can't remember the time
when my girl friend and I haven't
been chums. We played dolls to-
gether and were graduated in the
same class. She was at my house
the other night when my boy
friend called up on the phone, and
she said: 81 can't see why you
waste so much time with that
pest"
"This hurts me very much, as
I hope to become engaged to this
boy. I heard she tried to get him
last Summer while / was away,
and failed. He thinks she's a pest
too. What do you think of this
case? MARILYNN"
If she thinks he's a pest, and
he thinks the same about her,
doesn't that make them about
equal? If YOU marry this boy
you will probably have to see less
Of your girl friend. But very
often young people change in
their likes and dislikes. Don't take
