Advice
to
LOvelOrn
By Beotrice Fairfax

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've fallen deeply In love with
a certain girl, with whom I
went STEADY" for about seven
months and then we broke up.
She is now going with a former
boy friend. She will go out with
me occasionally, and I'm anxious
for her to forget the past and
start all over again. But she
insists I'm too good for her,
and that I should give her more
time to think it over. What
shall I do? I love her so much
that can't keep my mind on
my work.
ARTHUR.
What's the girls reason for
telling you that you're too good
for her? Is she wild, or is it
just an excuse to keep you at
q distance? Perhaps she doesn't
want you back on the old
friendly terms. You don't tell
me enough. If she's what is
known as wild" I believe I'd
take her ct her word and let
things stand as they are.

BEAUTIFUL hands are the
- rule with every girl now,
from the little miss at school
struggling with the multiplied
ton table to the poised young
"debbie." They all know the
lure of hand beauty. This is
just as it should be, too, and we
hope the day is past when
we may expect to see such
things as nail-biting, or Soiled,
dingy tips with rough cuticle.
One of the comforting things
about nails, however. is, even
after neglect, they can be re-
stored to their original loveliness
with good care. But some of
the most fastidious ones may
still have some trouble with
brittle nails that grow out just
so fer and then break off.
When this happens, it may be
attributed to the lack of cal
cium in the diet. or not enough
fabrication to the nail itself.
Milk and fresh vegetables will
supply the calcium and we can
use oils and creams for the lubri-
cation.

old-fashioned manicure injured

Methinks the lady means the
moral standard. That is the
most important one at any rate.
There is one answer and one
answer alone. The Girl Sets the
Standard!
Men may be the leaders IN
everything else, business, educa-
ton, science, economics, recrea-
ton and all the business OF prac-
tical living. But they follow
where women lead when it comes
to sex. The very foundation OF
mating and having children, the
home, was brought about by the
women who called upon the men
for the protection Of themselves
and their young. With the crea-
The Washington times., 1938-02-28

ton of the home came the crea-
ton of moral standards.
Woman Sets
the Standard
Polygamous by nature, men
have become homogeneous be-
cause women demanded it. Men
behave morally because women
demanded such behavior. The
women get what they want in
morals when they raise their
standards and demand a raised
standard in their men. The
men drop to a lower standard
when women set it.
After the World War, girls
demanded more freedom in sex
and they got it. They asked

Dear Mr.. Antheil: I am al
most 10. I went out with a gen.
tleman for a while, seeing him
at least six nights a week. I
loved him and still do very
much. He said he loved me and
couldn't get along without me.
After a misunderstanding we
broke up. He asked me never
to forget him and asked If he
could see me once in a while.
Would you approve Of this? He

whom he went for four years
