PACE SEEMS HECTIC

Dear Miss Fairfax:
81 have been married, have two
children, and am 10 years Of age.
Not long ago / met . young man
who seems to care . great deal
for me, as do for him. But he
dOeSn't know I'm o divorce and
have two children.
81 feel it's only square to tell
him.. anC I've often tried to 60
through with 1t. But somehow ]
can't seem to manage to tell him
Of my past experiences.
"He used to be fond Of . girl
who got married, and to try him
out I've asked him II she got q
divorce, would he 90 back to her?
But his answer il "NO, because
have no desire to marry . divorced
woman" Please give me your
advice. UNDECIDED GIRL"
It seems to me that q girl who
Is only Is years Of age, has two
children and has been divorced,
should allow herself q breathing
spell before considering any
further commitments having to do
with romance or matrtmony.
Your divorce Is probably the
suit Of being married when you
should have been at school. And
II you contemplate q second mar
rage, it should be entered into
with the utmost caution and fore.
thought.
It is certainly not fair to this
young man, knowing how he feels
about divorce, to accept, his atten-
tons as If you were q single girl.
And what about those two chill
dren? Where do they come in the
picture? Please watch your step
for all parties concerned.

Sentiment and
Flowers
BY DONNA GRACE

Flowers have been used to ex.
press sentiment and other emo
lions in all the ages. The Ian.
guage Of flowers, however i'm.
portant in the world Of romance,
has no uniformity Of agreement
concerning symbolisns and there
is no truly authoritative list to
present.
Authenticity and romance are
not Of necessity associated one
with the other. 50 you may have
this Interpretation Of mine.
When you wear apple blossoms
you are expressing guileless inno-
cence. The daisy, buttercup,
primrose and blue gentian come
under the same classification.
When you receive such a bouquet
they are meant to express ad-
miration.
The iris, the oluebell and blue
heather, as well as candytuft,
are the flowers that express in
difference. They are supposed
to chill the ardor Of your ad-
mirer.
The cornflower is worn by the
bachelor, but when arrange
with the marguerites, peoples
and cowslipS, are worn to ex'
press just a gay friendliness.
Golden glow, sunflowers, chryS-
anthemum, gladiola, Gala lily are
not flowers Of sentiment; they are
simply decorative. They are classed
as flowers Of truth and encour.
agement.
Ferns express sincerity; but all
green's, such as green carnations,
narciSsus and green lilies arouse
a desire to discuss financial prob
lens. So, they are to be avoided
when in love.
The tiger lily is likely to express
hostility, fickleness, jealousy and
a velgeful suspicion.
Sweet peas mean that the
wearer is in a blithe, sprightly and
festive mood, and they affect your
associates in this way. When you
pin on sweet peas or lavender flow
ers to his coat lapel, your presence
is with him wherever he goes as
lon.; as the flower lasts.
VioletS are not modest. They
have an imperious, naughty, but
nevertheless a fascinating, effect.
They excite admiration more than
love.
The next two we will designate
by quoting The Lovely Ophelia:
"There'S Rosemary, that's for
remembrance, and
"There's Pansies, that's for
thoughts"
PanSies are for gray hair. They
should be worn as q wreath at
the back Of the hair.
Orange blossoms are for we'd
dings. Poppies express joy. For
get-me-not. for remembrance, Of
course. The lilac expresses faS'
tidiousness. The jasmine Is q
flower Of romance, and inspires
love and tenderness. The orchid
is the aristocrat, and it also
arouSeS q desire for poSSeSSive
love and marriage.
The roses are the flowers Of
love. Every variety OF a rose
exciteS love and sincere devotion.
The yellow rose is the only ex.
ception. A corSage Of yellow
roses will excite jealousy.
Gardenias express style and
fashion, but are cold and de.
tached even with their alluring
and exotic aroma. They are oil.
ways aloof.
They are so flattering and 50
suitable for any occasion; either
formal or for the tailored lapel,
that they will always be the
most favored.
They are enchanting, for the
boudoir. especially when placed in
jade or amethyst bowls.

her long separation from her son

HANDS OFF
Dear Miss Fairfax:


Eve met at . party given by
his cousin last year, and I fell in
love with him almost ct first
sight. This year his cousin gave
another party and invited me
again. He was there. So was
another girl who was also In love
with him.
CAS- this girl has two other boy
friends, I asked her as politely
Is / could to please let my boy
friend alone. She refused. What
shall I do under the circum-
stances?
UNHAPPY"
Among all Of you admiring
girls, this young man Is in q fair
way to be spoiled, it seems to me.
And it's more than likely that he
will become attracted to some
girl who shows less plainly that
she's interested in him. Be
friendly and casual, but do not
be poSSesSive to the extent Of
asking other girls to let him
alone.

Played on SandlOtS
However, McQuinn, who played
many a baseball game on the local
and nearby sandlots, is confident
that he'll stay in the big show for
some time. Being comparatively
young, Is years old. a great future
is in store for the Ballston boy,
who already proved himself to be
a crackerjack fielder down in
Puerto Rico, where the Reds
trained for a month.
Manager Dresser, Of the Reds,
says that McQuinn just has to hit
.280 to stay with his team because
he's one of the sweetest fielders
to come up in the big leagues in a
long while. McQuinn was a good
hitter in the International League.
Only once he failed to hit under
300 and that was last year when
he hit in the zoos.
We received a letter from the
ambitious young ball player yes
terday. He writes:
"Our training in Puerto Rico
was Just dandy. The weather
was ideal, being hot during the
day and kind of cool at night.
Every player on the team seems
to be in excellent condition.
WILL RETURN NEXT YEAR
Larry McPhail, president,
and Charles Dresser, manager,
are enthusiastic about Puerto
Rico and already have made
arrangements to train here next
season.
"The biggest thrill I got Of
this training season was flying
from Puerto Rico to Miami. 1t
was my first plane ride, but
I'll never forget 1t as long as
remain on this earth.

By GARRETT WATERS

It's very seldom that Bill Foley,
the grand old man of track, makes
a mistake when he sees a young
ster Of great possibilities doing
his durndest to make the Central
High team.
Old Bill had to calculate little
about this particular find" to-
day, because, as he put it, he has
the best trackmen the school has
had in years and years. Hardy

poloS, dash artist. Nick has been
kept in the background for three
years, but now is on the threshold
of stardom. Foley and Pearce
hope such will eventuate this
spring, at any rate.
He's not a big lad, but is strong
and very ambitious. He's worked
himself into good shape since
practice sessions started about a
month ago and can hardly wait
for the spring meets to commence.
Kanihopolos' biggest aim is q
victory in the daSheS. He COM

Nick did some nice running in
the playground meets, however,
last summer. He tied for the 100

Hamilton.
Says Foley about Kanihopolos:
"Say now, we've got q conner
this year in this lad. B'gorra,
and 1 mean it! He's in fine con-
ditiOn, has q strong pair of legs
and generally looks like a real
track man."
The rainy weather Of late has
handicapped all the teams in
their preparations for spring
sports. Over at Eastern, Coaches
Artie Boyd and Charlie Guyon
are having themselves a time
trying to keep noses Of candidates
counted.
Boyd is still conditioning his
trackmen in the small armory at
the school. In the gym, Guyon
has had his pitching and catch
ing baseball candidates clutter
ing up every bit Of space.
Both mentors hope for a break
soon. For then they will be able
to take their respective teams
on the outside where there is
plenty of room.
Even at that, Guyon will be
forced to leave his baseball team
for a spell because of the East
ern basketball teams trip to
Glen Falls, N. Y, for that floor
tourney. But after that is over,
the cagey old mentor will begin
molding another championship
nine, which Eastern supporters
hope will win its tenth baseball
series title.
