OFFERS RING
"Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"I've been reading your column
for thrr, years, but have never
come across a problem like mine.
please don't think this is Just
one more "high school puppy
love" affair. / am only Is, but
am very much in love with a
young man who visits me every
evening. My mother and father
like the boy a lot, and the only
fault they find with him is that
he. does not live with his parents
there's a StepmOther who treats
him very unkindly-and again,
they think 1 see too much Of him.
He has a very good job.
"My parents were married when
they were very young. Do you
think I should see less of him,
and would it be all right for me
to accept q birthstone ring from
him? BECKY"
It is not usual for mice" girl
to accept any kind Of a ring from
boy unless she is engaged to
him. If his stepmother treats
him unkindly, I do not blame the
boy in the least for living away
from home, especially as he has
good job, and can be indie
pendent.
At the heavenly age Of sweet
sixteen, it is well for girls to
known more than one boy. If
you were my daughter, I should
suggest that you enlarge your
circle of acuuaintanceS.

Stepn1other's
Problem
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

washington Times
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've tried to be a mother to my
husbands children by a previous
marriage. / have succeeded with
the girl, but the boy is impossible.
Il love my husband, but the boy
goes around among his fathers
people and tells lies about me. His
father talks to him Of it, but that
is all. / have two children by
previous marriage and one child
by this marriage.
"My child by my first marriage,
who lives with us, never says any
thing in the home other than
good morning" and good eve
ming" to my husband, but my STEP
son has me so nervous that /
could scream, and has brought me
almost to the point of leaving,
though / have q nice home. This
boy is my only trouble. He Is my
husbands favOrite.
81 am worn out with family
troubles. MRS. b. B."
1t seems to me that you need
more outside contacts, some
amusement, and not to dwell so
persistently on the shortcomings
of your stepson. And please let me
put in a word for your own child
by a former marriage. If she
says nothing to her stepfather but
good morning" and good eve
ming" she strikes me as an un-
necessarily repressed youngster.
Try to take this whole situation
more lightly. Cultivate your
friends. Go to the movies, take
some interest in your church
work.
Don't dwell constantly on your
trouble with this boy. Undoubt-
edly, you have a difficult house
hold, but try to see the humor
of it.
Do you remember that old
minstrel gag of the husband say
ing to the wife, who had been a
widow with children of her own:
Your children and my children
are fighting with our children and
there's the deuce to pay"
Try to win this boy over.

flat, and continue to roll it until
it is as close to the head as pos
sible. Hold it securely while the
stick is slipped out.
The flat little roll is placed in
the center of the triangular paper
against the little groove cut out
in the center. Hold the paper
close to the head and fold the
corners over from the sides. Then
the top point and both sides are
twisted together, thus securing the
curl so that it will be coiled flat.
All the curls are rolled in the
same direction. The operator rolls
towards herself as she stands
back of the client.
Just before the curl is wrapped,
and after it is removed from the
curling stick, give it a firm twist
close to the scalp, and be sure that
each curl is twisted in the same
direction, as one twisted in the
opposite direction will break the
pattern of the wave.
THE PINCHING IRON
When the entire head is coY-
cred with symmetrical rows Of
little curl packages, the iron is
heated over a flame-not too hot
but a moderate heat. Then
each flat curl is pinched and held
until the curl is set.
When the entire head is fin
ished, let it cool before the
papers are removed. When it is
done correctly, the curl will be
set so the hair may be given a
good brushing and set in loose.
soft waves. The ends should be
easily combed into ringletS.

freeze a big lot of ice cream in
from three to six minutes, in this
freezer. It is called the Triple-Vac
because it has triple action, which
makes for the faster freezing, and
also whips the1cream to delicious
consistency It's easier as we'll as
quicker, and even a child can op-
crate it. It has an enclosed top,
which eliminates the necessity of
packing it with newspaper or
cloth, and adds further to the
keeping qualities of the ice cream,
or whatever you freeze. There are
also no dangerous gears to come
in contact with hands of clothing.
And there is no possible Spilling
with the enclosed top. It is vacuum
insulated. With it comes an ice
clipper, included free, which re-
duces a block of ice to small bits
in no time. It's good to take on
picnics, as it packs so well and
completely. It is $4.95, in a down
