Since you do not know the

For instance, if there have been

natural for us to write note Of

all the odd pieces that are no

any old silver that might have

This brings each piece down to

But here's a girl who fell in
love with her boss and does not
regret it. Has she reason for
regret? What do my readers
think? I shall be glad to publish
some Of their letters.
Dear Miss Fairfax: !
81 was 20 years Of age when
made the mOmentOus decision of
my life. 1 decided to accept my
employer for better or worse, and
the decision was as binding, on my
part, as If it had been spoken
before the entire world.
81 did not feel as If were rob-
bling any other woman of her huS-
band. My employers wife had
been adjudged insane several
years before and was in an in
stitutiOn, but there were compiled
tiOns-which 1 need not go into
about getting . divorce.
COMPLICATIONS REMOVED
"Since then the complications
have been removed and it would
be possible for my lover to get a
divorce and marry. He feels, how
ever, that q divorce from an in
sane wife and remarriage would
bring about q general criticism,
which would be bad for his posi-
ton as an executive. He is also
an important member of his pOlit-
zeal party, and is outstanding IN
church affairs.
'Tf have moments of rebellion
that he does not marry me, in
spite of worldly considerations,
try to forget in the thought that I
am happier with him than 1 was
before we made our decision.
Il never had any real happiness
In my life before / knew this man.
I've been Self-suppOrting since l
was Is, gave my pay envelope to
my family, which took it and
everything else 1 did for granted.
81 worked all day in the depart
ment store and went to night
school, and finally was trained to
become a good secretary. / made
. fetish of my work, rose rapidly,
and in time became confidential
secretary to the head of the firm.
This place / occupied for three
years before we became mutually
interested in each other.
JEALOUS OF FRIENDS
sometimes when 1 answer for
him invitations to dinner parties,
waves Of jealousy sweep over me
that we never 60 out together, or
that 1 never meet his friends So
cially. 1 have my own little apart
ment where he sees me. He never
takes me to dinner or a show, be-
cause, If we were seen together,
it would cause talk.
81 know that If his wife should
die he would not marry me, be-
cause-thOugh 1 hate to say it
my beloved boss is something of a
SnOb, and his marrying me would

II am thankful for the crumbs
Of affection which fall to me. Be-

of a wooden Indian. AS 1 am not

bands affection, / do not feel /

interesting human document, and

Beauty
Give the Hair
Right Care
BY DONNA GRACE

There is always a lot said
about the effects of salt water on
the hair and when the hair be-
comes harsh and unlovely after
summer at the beach, we at
least have the keen satisfaction
of knowing Just where to place
the blame.
The sun and wind over the
wet hair is the cause Of it all
We say. That may be the cause,
my children, but how do you &C
count for the natural, luXuriant
hair beauty of some of the girls
who spend the entire season at
the beach? There is no mystery
about it at all. They are just
careful to avoid the things that
may injure the hair.
The one unfailing rule is never
to let the salt water dry on the
hair. It must be washed or
rinsed thoroughly every time. SO
that means a daily shampoo II
the rubber cap does not keep the
hair dry.
We like to tie a bandanna
handkerchief very securely over
the small rubber caps and when
you learn the knack of doing it
you can really keep from getting
wet. Fold it three-cornered and
it will stretch on the bias and
fit. Then tie the point and the
two corners securely at the back
of the neck.
The sun and air is good for the
scalp, but we can get too much OF
it and when the natural oils are
absorbed by the intense heat they
must be replaced with generous
applications Of protective oils.
Count on these summer days to
give the hair a little rest and re
conditioning. So take your brushes
with you for frequent stimulating
treatments.
You may use equal parts Of
mineral oil, olive oil and castor
oil-one ounce of each-and then
add five drops Of oil Of lavender
Some of the hair specialists and
cosmetic manufacturers have very
nice inexpensive protection oils all
ready for hair covering. So be
sure to include a bottle in your
bag.
You really should have my hair
treatment for recOnditiOning and
brushing. There is no charge fol
it. Simply inclOse a stamped, self
addressed envelope for your reply

EMBARRASSING
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"She keeps putting me off, and
/ can't understand the reason why.
They like me where / work, and
as told them 1 was going to be
married, they raised my salary.
1 am now getting $14O a month,
and if she won't name the day, it
will look as if got this raise under
false pretenseS.
II talked real rough to her the
other night, and that only made
things worse, because now she
won't answer my phone calls. And
/ heard from a buddy of mine in
the office that they're passing the
hat to buy us a wedding present.
/ am almost crazy with worry. How
can I get this girl to listen to
reason?
TERRIBLY ANXIOUS"
If she won't listen when you
call her on the phone, why don't
you write her and tell her she has
put you in tbs embarrassing posi-
ton, and that you must know the
truth? Also, you might say you're
sorry for talking rough" to her.
But if the young lady really in
tends to break with you, you'd
better know Immediately, so you
can stop the contributions for the
wedding gift.
The situation is distinctly en-
barrassing, and I hope the girl
will be reasonable.

RICHMOND. Va. Dec. 14.-Al
Richmond today is talking about
the sensational IA to Z victory
scored yesterday by the Washing
ton Pros over the Richmond Ar
rows. More than 5000 fans saw
the contest.
Trailing 7 to 0 for three quar-
tiers of the game, the Washington
eleven scored twice in the final
canto, Tommy Oliver toting the
leather across for the first tally
and Hal McGann accounting for
the second touchdown when he
fell on a blocked punt across the
Arrow goal-line. Benner scored
both points after touchdown by
placement kicks.
Johnny Fenlon, former G. w.
star, played the important role in
Richmond's scoring. He tossed
successive forward passes that &C
counted for IS yards and a touch
down. Another pass, Fenlon to
Kavalier, gave the Arrows their
seventh point.

Preston Upsets
PdCe-Setters

The Preston Drug team, floun-
dering in the second division Of
the Arlington County Bowling
League the greater part Of the
season, suddenly seemed to have
grown tired of being the stepping
stone of the other clubs in their
climb to the top and unleashed all
their wrath in the form Of strikes
and spares upon the brows Of the
leading Ballston Juniors.
Serenely calling with a three
game advantage, the Ballston club
was altogether unprepared for the
storm that suddenly appeared
across their bow. Before realizing
what they had encountered, their
loss column suddenly increased
from 10 to Is.
Charlie Haverty was the man Of
the hour, his 366 totaled in games
that were opportume was the neces-
sary punch that put the Drug boys
in the first division at last.
