Advice to the LOvelOrn

over a year ago, her fiance
often comes to see me. and I
must admit I have fallen in love
with him. He has asked me to
marry him.
IT told him I didn't believe he
loved me, but only my likeness
to my deceased sister. He an
swered: What difference does
it make, as long as I am q
faithful and loving huSband?'
and he insists he really does love
me, and his love is returned.
do you think am selfish
because I won his love by my
resemblance to my sister?
Should I give up the idea Of
marrying him, and just be
friends? UNDECIDED"
Some Of the reasons you have
thought up for not marrying
your deceased sisters fiance
seem very fine-spun to me.
What could be more natural
than that he should have fallen
in love with you, who resemble
his former love SO greatly? I
can't see any reason for refusing
him.

Manners
By Mrs. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
my friend contends that if
. you offer cigarettes to guests
and then strike a match, that
you should light the other per.
sons cigarette first.
ct agree that it is, common
modern courtesy to d. this, but
that true etiquette would be to
light your own first, thus alb
sorbing what sulphur there may
be in the match. Please settle
this friendly argument.
&c"
Although occasionally there
does arise this question of "tak-
ing" the sulphur fumes, the
custom still remains that the
man first lights the woman's
cigarette and then lights his
own.
The "ladies first" or guests
first" idea seems to be more
important than the scarcely-to-
be-noticed sulphur fumes.

"Dear Miss Fairfax:

"Dear Miss Fairfax:
Although we are both adults,
marriage is so far away from
the consideration Of us both
that it isn't part of my prob
lem. I am wondering how far
a girl can go, unobtrusively, and
let a boy imagine that their
friendship is his own idea. Can
I go farther than that in the
open, without seeming to be too
eager? have a feeling that no
man will ever fall for me with
out my taking the initiative in
the friendship. Does that
sound sensible, or just more
echo of the well-known inferior
ity complex. I am 25.
"R. E. M"
Long before Bernard Shaw
put it in cold print, every think
ing person was more or less
aware that women had taken
the initiative from the beginning.
The joker in the whole business
is that women are so clever
about it, that nearly all men
imagine it's their own plot and
plan from the beginning. Keep
right on, my dear girl, just the
way that Mother Eve acted in
the beginning, and most of us
women have followed after her.
A very few high-brow femmes
are the exception.

Children
Little Girls Nice,
But So Are Boys
BY GLADYS BEvANS


How old is Phyllis?" I
asked. Phyllis is not quite 2.
"Oh, she's getting sweeter
every day." said her mother.
What color is her hair?"
"Pale yellow" her mother an
swered, then: ooh, let me tell
you," she went on. Yesterday
morning the front lock was fall
ing over her eyes and it was so
hot that I tied it up on one side
with a little ribbon. Well, was
she intrigued with that ribbon!
A dozen times during the day
when l glanced her way, there
she was patting the ribbon with
her little fat hand.
There's a little girl baby for
you.
FAT LITTLE KNEES
Then there's the small daugh-
ter of friend of mine just a
little older, about 3. Did ! ever
tell about her? She was a Slen-
der little big-eyed darling, but
with plump, very well shaped
little knees. After looking at
her slender little body those
sturdy little knees were quite a
surprise and brought forth a
great many amused and affec-
tionate comments from her
mothers friends. Betsy'S "fat
little knees" were very much
talked about and quite in her
presence. No one thought much
about it until one day her
mother came into the living
room and there sat Betsy on her
little chair in her little short
skirted dress patting her knees
and saying "fat little knees,
nice fat little knees, pretty lit
tie knees"
And there's another little girl
baby for you. Their femininity
and interest in clothes starts
way, way back, whereas it does
not even stir with a boy, except
on occasion, until he's along in
his teens.
GREAT DIFFERENCE
There's really great differ
ence between having a little
girl and having little boy,
and an even greater difference
between having big girl and
having a big boy.
They are very different and
each fascinating in their way.
And, so, I want to stress again:
First: Don't set your heart on
having a boy-or perhaps a girl.
But if you have it set on one
and get the other don't be dis
appointed. For both your sakes,
don't do it.
If you 90, you will keep look
ing back-you will have vain
regrets - and you will make
yourself dissatisfied.
And for your child'S sake,
don't set your heart on "one
kind" and then regret if your
wish is not satisfied. Sooner
or later, you or your husband
will let it slip out that you
longed ardently for a daughter
and got son, or vice versa.
And, sooner or later, your child
will sense your deep disappoint-
ment and it will have a serious
effect upon his or her life.
A son or a daughter? Each
holds q different kind Of de-
light. Don't miss it because
of vain regrets.
