DESERTED BY ESCORT

Dear MISS raEIaA'
81 am 10 and have red hair,
which probably accounts for the
fact that / object when the family
won't let me take out the old car.
1t is so old 1 think Henry Ford
might like it for his museum.
1--WE live on a farm, and a boy
friend of mine, who lives on the
next farm, has a very swell car.
He's modern and thinks that when
he takes me out in his car /
should pay half the gas. But my
folks, who are Old-faShiOned, say
that's a poor way to treat a girl.
"Well, a few weeks ago he
wrecked his car, so when we went
to the movies there was nothing
to do but walk to town, which is
over three miles away.
"At last he, got his car fixed
and took me to town, but he de-
serted me there and went off
with a boy friend, to drink, gam
BILE and carry on high.
II had to walk home, which
think was a mighty nasty way Of
treating a girl. And since then,
1 refused to make up with him.
Don't you think / am right"
"ESTELLE."
When the young man deserted
you and went off with a boy to
drink and gamble, perhaps he
didn't know any better. Some
young people do outrageous
things, because they've never been
taught the difference between de-
cent manners and no manners at
all.
But I think you're quite right
in dropping az boy who would
take a girl out and leave her to
get home as best she might,
while he went off carousing with
another fellow.

"When moving to another city
and having a reception, should
you return all calls? Some say
it is not done SO much or not at
all. Which is correct?
"When serving dinner, should
the plates be served from the
right and removed from the left?
"After being entertained at a
dinner or at a tea, is it necessary
to telephone and thank the
hostess, or is it sufficient just to
thank her when leaving?
&C."
Yes, this is right. The gentle
man is introduced to a lady, and
her name is mentioned first. The

LOVeIOrn
He Is Already
Engaged
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Famous authority on problems OF
LoUe and Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
ITS love on my side all right,
but he tells me he is in love with
and engaged 70 girl in his home
town down South. He has no
idea when they can be married.
not until he gets a better job
anyhow.
"He has been away from her
for the past five years and never
sees her more than once a year,
although they correspond, and he
is planning to see her Christmas.
"They have known each other
for eight years or more, and it
breaks my heart to think of his
going to see her, when l love
him as do.
1--WE see each other almost every
night. He tells me he is worried
most of the time on account Of
us two girls. I try to keep him
from knowing how much / love
him, but he knows that all right.
He sometimes speaks of when we
are married, but 1 know he is
Just kidding.
I'm % and he is 30. I go al
most crazy trying to figure out
how things are going to end. in
spite of seeing me so often, he
is very loyal to this girl in the
South. ANXIOUS GIRL"
AS this man comes to see you
every evening, it does not look to
me as if he were losing much
sleep over his absent fiancee.
Long-distance and longtime en-
gagements have a way of adjust
ing themselves.
In the meantime, why not lessen
the strain by cultivating the Soci-
ETY. of some other young men?
That's the sensible thing to do,
although it may not appeal to you
in your present frame of mind.
