There was lot more conversation

Joan either could not or would not

Dear Miss Fairfax:
81 was raised in q certain reli-
giOn, which I respect highly, but
l do not expect to 90 around and
convert everyone to my faith. But
my fiancee's family are even
worse. They go in for all Of the
old customs and fOrmalitieS that
were regarded as sacred in their
home.
There had been considerable re-
ligiOuS persecution of their people,
and that was their reason for
coming to the United States, but
they want to hand out the same
type of religious persecution to
everyone who does not believe as
they do.
"The old grandmother, who has
considerable money, is the worst,
She treats me as If 1 were q saw
age, who might pull out q war

grandparents would only let us

Considering your ages, it might
be well for you to put the Balti

it seems better to me to announce

tolerance, set up intolerance, as

Bv JEAN GREEN

While okra is found on the
market in abundance right now,
it is avoided by the average shopper
as a vegetable possibility in menu
planning. Part of this is caused
by a remembrance that okra is
slick and stringy and not at all
the thing to stimulate appetite on
a hot summer day.
Really, the vegetable, when prop
erly cooked. is tender and has a
delightful flavor.
The secret of cooking is to cook
only until tender. If the pods are
left whole, there is no release of
the thickening which is so de,
sirable in soups. All of this is in,
closed inside the pod. Sailing
literally and adding butter is all
the seasoning needed before serv,

DEFERRED MARRIAGES
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Il was engaged to q charming
girl during the depression, but, as
l lost my job, 1 had to give up the
idea of being married. In the
meantime, she has married some
one else, and does not seem riot
ously happy.
ITO console me, / suppose, my
parents are always talking about
the advantages Of marrying later
in life, at 20 or 30, perhaps, saying
that a mans taste is not really
formed till that time. But, oh,
for the thrill that came with the
sound of her footsteps! And the
way that the world turned rose
cOlOred when she smiled.
EDWARD"
You have certainly described
the effect Of young love, my dear
Edward, and it is pity when q
boy and girl have to defer to pru-
dence, and not marry, when just
seing each other turns the whole
world into a garden of Eden.
But that's as much as can be
said for too early marriage. Hav-
ing to meet money obligations on
small pay envelope, household
drudgery, the unremitting care
of babies and a feeling that one
has been deprived of youth, these
are the things that turn the gar
den of Eden so many times into
something quite the contrary.
Personally, I'm all for young
love when it's the real thing. And
here's hoping another job may
materialize, and with it another
girl whose footsteps have the
power to thrill.
