OF Love and Marrtage)
Dear Miss Fairfax:
81 am in love with q man much
older than myself, but that doesn't
make any difference to me. He Is
so kind and good, 50 thoughtful
about everything, but can't seem
to see things the way he does.
81 know he loves me, but he
claims it would wreck my life IL we
should marry, as I'm so much
younger than he. He says he
would be glad to marry me II
were older.
do you think that age makes
much difference? ~. A. c."
So much depends on the type
of man, whether a marriage of
this kind is successful or not. If
he's what's called a young old
man." who is well and enjoys the
things youth enjoys - dancing,
walking, outdoor sports-it would
be safe risk.
But if he's the type who worries
about whether he can or cannot
eat this and that, and imagines if
he's within six feet of a draft, he'll
get pneumonia-in other words, if
he's one of the coddling-of himself
type of man-it seems to me I'm.
wise to marry such as him, espe-
cially If there is disparity Of

Fans have always been an ex-
quisite feminine foil and the cor
rect use of them was part of the
social training of the little ladies
of the old courts of royalty.
Loretta's original note is to pin
fresh flowers to her fan, and for
this she likes a lace fan, either a
black or white one. The flowers
may be any variety that suits her
mood, but pink camelliaS and for
get-me-notS are the ones she has
worn with a lovely full-skirted
frock of cream chantilly lace.
In old Spain, fan flirtationS
played a sweet accompaniment to
the romantic courtShips of the
lovely Senoritas, and their gay
caballeros were fascinated with
the dark eyes behind the little
transparent screen.
The real ariStocrat really prac-
ticeS the correct welding of her
fan, and she may be distinguished
by the manner in which she uses
it. For instance, she must acquire
the art of opening the fan to its
full width with one quick little
swing of the wrist, and it must
be closed in the same way, with
only one movement.
To use both hands to pull the
fan open would stamp one as an
awkward novice. No real Spanish
beNty would think of using a fan
that was not suitable and 90

Chances

Spring cleaning is still the ira
dition even though the wise house
keeper no longer let's the house
work pile up for half year. Clean
ing nowadays is not so much extra
cleaning as it is making it pre-
Sentable for summer.
Clean walls do more than any
thing to give the room a fresh
new look. Many of the wall pap
ers sold now are of the washable
variety. Floors, woodwork and
windows will need thorough
cleaning. Many women do an ex-
cellent job of rug cleaning with
some of the new preparations of
the market. In the case of the
upholstered pieces, good vacuum
cleaning is all that is necessary.
When the upholstered furniture
has been covered with fresh Gre
tonne or linen slips, the rugs have
been rolled up, and the heavy
draperieS taken down, then spring
has really arrived in Washington
and the season of the open win
doWS has begun.

PLENTY OF TINE
"Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm in my second year high
school, and no two ways about it,
I just hate books. For two years
I've been very fond of a boy who
claims to be just as fond of me,
but l can't see it. He makes $18
a week, and think that's plenty
for a young couple to live on,
don't you?
81 was 16 my last birthday, two
months ago. My grandmother
was 16 when she was married, and
went to live on a farm. And when
grandfather died, he left $4,000,
which she helped him to make.
But all that money has been lost
by the family.
"The boy l want to marry works
in a valet shop as a presser.
Don't you think we could do on
$18 week? LOUISE"
In the good old days." it was
not unusual for a girl Of 16 to
marry a young farmer and help
MIN toward success. usually, Sne
attended to the dairy, made but
ter, fed the chickens and turkeys,
sold fruits and vegetables, and
helped materially to put aside the
family nest egg.
But the prospects are different,
when it comes to marrying a
young man employed in a valet
shop. These positions are un
certain, and there are dozens Of
applicants for any vacancy. I
doubt very greatly if you know
anything about housekeeping, or
being thrifty.
And certainly you have not the
rich background of a farm to fall
back on. I hate to disappoint
you, but I think it would be very
much wiser for you to finish your
high school course and get your
diploma, before you think about
marrying.
This will also answer a CORE
spondent who signs herself Dim

uAVE you tried curler that
- slips your hair onto a bob pin,
which holds the curl fast, right
where you want it? The idea is
not new. but there is a new curler
out which is said to have three
exclusive advantages; pins cannot
slip off the curler until you want
them to, pins cannot lock curler
or interfere with the curling, and
hair cannot slip back" and spoil
the curl. If you haven't a perma-
nent or naturally curly hair, this
curler is recommended to give you
soft, natural looking curls close to
your head, which you put on the
pins, and leave the pins in. They
do not show, as they are beneath
the curl. Or if you want to curl
your hair at bed time, put it up
and leave the pins in. They are
flat and will not disturb your
sleep. You can use any type bob
pin with this curler, and you can
use the curler without pins, if you
have naturally wavy hair or a
good permanent. Many people do
set their hair in this way, without
pins. The curler is easy to use,
though we suggest that you see it
downtown instead of trying to get
it all from our picture. It sells
for 81 complete with a batch of
pins.

Styles

To top off a dark dress with
a jacket of contrasting color is
a good rule for spring. A frock
of heavy black sheer crepe has a
little jacket in a gay flower print
on a black ground, with a double
button closing at the waiStline.
The frock is cold with a bow,
which can be clipped on, to match
the jacket.
Still on top in the color combi-
nation list is black with white.
A nice ensemble is a frock of sheer
black wooden worn with a fitted
coat of white bengaline printed
in a bold black design. The dress
has high jabot Of the jacket
fabric.
Bands play an important part
in the new frocks. An exquisite
evening gown is made entirely of
bands of white mouSseline de sole
and bands of black lace. At the
bodice are three enormous roses of
pink mouSSeline de sole.
A good companion to very smart
afternoon or dinner clothes is a
fan-Shaped bag made entirely of
fine, soft folds of black satin. 1t
is fastened by a clasp of rhine
stones and moonStoneS.
A,nice combination is formed by
a cigarette case of simulated tor
toise shell and a petit point EN-
broidered compact contained in
the center top OF the case.
