Unpopular
Despite Her
Good Looks
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
THE photographer who took
my last picture asked permission
to put one of them in his show
window, because he said I was
a beauty. I dress well, being an
only daughter, and I have a job
more for fun than anything else.
II am 20, and have none Of
the troubles of which your best
friends won't tell you. So,
what's the matter with me?
When men first meet me, they
seem crazy to make a date, but
they never ask for a second
one.
You probably consider I'm a
prude, and would raise the
neighborhood if the boy kissed
me goodnight. They have all
kissed me goodnight, but it
seems to me goodbye kiss for
them, because they never come
back. I am truly

Manners
ByMRS.C CORNELIUS BEECKMAl

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
my boy friend has invited
me to his cousins wedding re-
ception. AS I am not acquainted
with any of his family, I do not
know whether I should go.
What do you think?
IF I go, what shall I say
when I am introduced to the
bride and groom?
DO I have to take a gift?"
&C."
T am sure that your hesita.
ton about going arises, as it
should, from the fact that you
have not received a direct invi-
tation. Any of us would hest
tate about just appearing" at
a wedding reception on such an
indirect invitation.
But it is easy enough to ex-
plain to your boy friend that
you would be delighted to go
if he will have his cousin send
you an invitation, or indicate
in some way directly that she
would like to have you come.
You needn't be the slightest
embarrassed about asking for
this invitation he will be
only too glad to ask for it, will
respect you for your right So
cial attitude, and his cousin
will be delighted to send you
an invitation. So everything
will be fine and "in order"
When you meet the bride. give
her your "beSt wishes" for her
happiness, and don't forget to
thank her for her invitation. Il
do want to thank you so much
for your kind invitation to your
reception.
1T was so nice of you to ask
me to come with George. And
may I tell you, too, of my very
best wishes for your happiness?
1t is a lovely wedding and I am
so happy to be here"
When the groom is introduced
to you, offer him your hearth
est congratulations" Remem.
Der that you don't offer ICON.
gratulations" to the bride!
NO GIFT
You don't take a gift to a
wedding reception. If we give a
wedding present we send it to
the bride-to-be some time be-
fore the wedding, to her home.
Since you do not know the
bride nor groom, you needn't
necessarily give a wedding gift.
But, on the other hand, since
you are going to the wedding Il
think, I would like to have
you make some gesture of rec.
ignition of this invitation,
which I am sure you will receive.
So you might send a box of
flowers to the bride-to-be on
the morning of her wedding, or,
II you wish to give something
more substantial, you might send
some simple gift, such as a half.
dozen of tea-napkins, or cock
tail napkins, or a small rosebud
vase (clear white glass;, or a
small decorative box.
Something OF that sort that
would cost about two or three
dollars, and that would show
your friendlineSs and apprecia-
ton.

NO FAVORITISM

Understand, we do not favor
one more than the other. We
never get for one and not the
other. If one gets a new dress
the other does. too. And I usually
dress them alike because of their
being almost the same age.
To-day the little one was ex-
tended an invitation to a party
which was given by a school
classmate. The other child, of
course, was not invited, being
in a different room and also an
older youngster.
However, the little one was to
be dressed in her new dress,
patent-leather slippers, and so
forth, which drove the older
youngSter to tears because she
wasn't going. No amount of
talking or explaining seemed to
sooth the child"
In practically all Of the cases
where there is evidence of jeal-
ouSy, or some sort of similar
hurt, we find that it is expert
enced by the older of two chill
dren - very rarely by the
younger.
CAN BE AVOIDED
While very sweeping generali-
ties are always open to criticism,
it is true that the coming of a
second baby far too often causes
heartache in the first. This can
be avoided and the very best
results are obtained if from the
beginning the firStborn feels her
self absolutely mistaken in the
affections and attention of her
parents.
And this matter of showing
attention and interest is quite
as important as the showing of
affection directly. If mother
actually says to her older child:
Il love you dearly" or las much
as ever" or hugs and kisses her,
that is not as deeply convincing
as for her to make time to be
with that older child, to show
the very real interest she previ-
ously did in her child's questions,
her play, and her work
Even to buy them both the
same dresses, the same toys, the
same slippers, and so forth, is
not as important as the funda-
mental attitude of the father
and the mother.

Against Discrimination

0ECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR HAROLD L. ICKES
~ has chosen appropriate time to reiterate the deerm
nation of the Administration to obtain fair treatment for
ALL Americans under pending legislation.
As the sugar bill stands it is ranky discriminatory
against large groups of Americans in Hawaii and Puerto
Rico.
1t denies Americans living in those parts of America
rights which freely granted without question to Amer
leans living in the States.
The bill would place restrictions the refining of sugar
in these island parts Of the United States for purely arb
rary and without regard to the similarity of pro-
lection which the Congress through its laws supposed
afford to ALL of people
There is why American living in part
Of the United States should be denied the right do the
same business that American do in another part of
the United States
Yet the pending sugar bill would deny this right to
Americans living and attempting to do business the
islands.
With Congress looking eagerly toward adjournment there
il danger that in the interest of speed legislation be
slipped through without full consideration.
Secretary Ickes statement should guard against that
danger with regard to the sugar bill.

The special interest attach
ing to the Self-Styled Henri de
Bourbon was that he claimed
to be the rightful heir to the
throne of France, as q direct
descendent Of the Lost Dau-
phin, son of Louis XVI and
Marie Antoinette.
De Bourbon was a grandson
of Earl William Naundorff,
who asserted all his life that
the purple blood of Henry Of
Navarro ran in his veins and
that he was, in all truth, the
great-grandson of the boy who
would have been Louis XVII.
Back Of the NaundorffS and
their royal pretensions lies one
Of the romantic stories Of all
time-the mystery Of the Lost
Dauphin.
He was the young son Of
that dull and lucklesS Bourbon,
Louis XVI, who lost his head
not so much from the fury Of
the people but mostly because
of his own laundering.
A Stolid, good-natured dolt,
who loved to tinker with the
insides of watches and clocks,
he didn't even know how to
run away inteIligently and was
intercepted and arrested at
VarenneS.
It was after Louis and
Marie were imprisoned that
their son Louis. a handsome,
promising boy, was sent to the
Temple. a revolutionary prison,
and committed to the care of
one Simon, hulking brute of
a man. In time it was given
out that he had died there, q
sickly child of little vitality.
But the tale would not down

and bribery, he had been
smuggled out of the Temple
and spirited away to a place

noble emigres. and that he had

Journey
BY TEMPLE MANNING

A correspondent hastenS to
write us an interesting and
amusing story. His nearest
neighbor generally goes to
Europe every year, but he in
variably refuses to tell any OF
his cronies just where he spends
his real vacation, where he dis
appears and "goeS native" after
he has visited London, Paris or
Vienna.
This year our correspondent
made his trip abroad and met
some friends in London, who eX-
tolled the glorieS of Wales in
general and one little fishing
village in particular. So our
friend decided to do a little
angling, and when he arrived
at the village and went to the
inn, arriving in time for dinner,
who was his table companion
but his neighbor from home.
That wise man, the idol Of the
district as the gentleman from
America, had the whole village
doing his bidding and helping
to make the stay of so impor-
tant a visitor pleasant. Now
he is afraid that his hideaWay
will be discovered and that the
salmon and trout will rise to
other anglers. But our friend
says that he intends to keep
his discovery to himself. And
we, knowing the place, heartily
agree to enter into the conspir-
acy of silence. 8f
A marvellous land Is this gall
liant little land of Wales. It, to-
gether with England, has been
part Of the same kingdom for
nearly TOO years. Yet, when
one enters the principality from
England. one gets all the SenSa-
lions Of being in a foreign land.
For such a small area, Wales
has more diversity Of scenery
and more beauty spots than any
place we have yet visited. Lakes,
rivers, pretentious shore resorts,
lovely spas-all these can be
found there.
The road continues to lovely
Bangor under the shelter Of the
snowdon range Of mountains.

A Foolish PROPOSAL

WI made up of young Americans who got into the
European War long before their country got in. Also

Soldiers list, assuring the Canadian officers
Of Fortune that they were from Milwaukee,
Canada; New Orleans, Canada;
Chicago Canada; San Francisco, Canada.
These young men were soldiers of fortune, with an
itch to get into action somewhere, anywhere Every
country has them. Whatever else got into that war,
those men didn't. Our advance fighters in the Euro
pean War of the same stripe Lafayette, Kos

of the European adventures who to help
us fight our Revolution, and were a valuable help
indeed.
Now comes Representative Alfred n Phillips (D.)
Connecticut, with bill to deprive of their American
citizenship any Americans who enlist in any army that
is fighting against nation at peace
It's Pro- with the United States. This, de-
War PROPOSAL spite the fact that our laws already
take citizenship away from any
American who takes oath of allegiance to another
country, in peace
The law as it now stands is sufficient The proposed
new law is piffling pacifist proposal to halter and
hamper an adventurous instinct that exists in many
American boys Like plenty of other pacfist notions,
this would tend to get into raging else
where rather than keep us out. Some of wQuldbe
soldiers of fortune might be sufficiently impressed by
this law to stay at home. Cooped up here they would
naturally agitate and vote toward our entry into the
war. The great majority of them, of course, would
simply evade or ignore the law and get their fill of
fighting anyway.
It's another illustration of how easily pacfists can
lose what perspective they have and the bill should die
