JUDGE and Mrs. Sam WaSsell,
ID SO rumor would have one be-
lieve, are now going their own
separate ways. a quiet decree
having been granted in Arkan-
SaS.
TOHN A. LOGAN, cousin of
u Senator M. M. Logan and
father Of young Ben Logan, is
in town from Kentucky and for
a brief visit with Ben and his
pretty wife. John A., as every
one calls his, is a grand person,
with humor galore and the abil-
ity to tell a story supremely
we'll. John A. Logan Is what
the world of today would de-
scribe as a most successful per
son and it is quite obvious that
luck and fortune have both kept
him under their wing. However,
there was a time when things
weren't so rosy.
And-though John A. will
probably kill us for writing this
story, we will anyway, for it so
nicely demonstrates the kind Of
person he really is. 1t seems
that when John A. was a small
boy, living in the pioneer woods
of Kentucky, he knew an old
logger who passed by his house,
ever so often with his wagon
and logs on the way to the river.
The old logger liked the small
boy and one day stopped and
gave John A. three big, bright
red apples. Apples or any kind
of fruit we're a rarity in that
part of Kentucky and the small
boy was not only delighted but
never forgot the gift of the old
logger.
Well, not too long ago, Mrs.
Logan received a letter from
this same man, addressed to
him at one of his banks in Ken
lucky. Inside was the request
for a small loan to pay the in
terest on the logger's farm. John
A. sat himself down and wrote
back, Enclosed is a check for
three hundred dollars. 1t is no
loan, it is in payment for those
three red apples you once gave

Latter Part
Of Month
By Flora Macdonald

Shopping around-not too
intently-for a suitable resi-
dence has been the hobby OF
the Ernest G. Drapers for
the past few months. And
success has crowned their
efforts!
When Mr.. Draper was ap-
pointed a member of the
board of governors of the
Federal Reserve System-an
appointment which, by the
way. means a 12-year resi-
dence here-he and his wife
decided they had lived long
enough in a hotel, even in
such a comfortable and we'll
run hotel as where they have
made their home since COM
ing to Washington,
Conveniently Located
In his capacity as Assist
and Secretary of Commerce,
which post he held prior to
his new appointment in
March, Mr.. Draper and his
wife en-. nrtained frequently
and informally. Now their
guests will be welcomed in
their new home, which is To-
Gated at 1927 Belmont Rd.,
and is the property of Major
and Mrs. Richard D. La
Garde. Nearby neighbors of
theirs will be the Keith Mer-
rills, DR.. and Mrs. Breckin-
ridge Bayne and Mr.. and
Mrs. Carlos del Mar.
One of the features which
they held uppermost in their
minds in searching was that
the residence should be con-
veniently situated. Certainly
they could ask for no more
ideal location, just off Mas
sachusetts Avenue, overlook
ing Rock Creek Park. They
plan to move the latter part
of the month.
Out at 1899 Fordham Road
in Spring Valley former Senator
and Mrs. Harry B. HaweS are
beginning to see a semblance
of homelike atmosphere.
They moved the latter part of
the week into their new home.
which Mrs. Hawes says looks
much larger from the outside
than it actually is, having only
one more room than they had

necticut Avenue.

DEAR DORIS DENE: I am a
~ high school girl and very un-

~ high school girl and very un-
popular. Even the girls don't seem
to like me. am never invited to
anything and as it is very hard for
me to make new friends, my chance
never improves. am usually at
home alone. Can you give me any
help?-T. A. S.
ANSWER-Again and again beg
of the girls who come to me with
problem like this, to give me some
thing constructive in the way of a
personal analysis.
There are dozens of reasons for
unpopularity. It is easy to say that
in general girl will get over her
self-consciousness by taking up in
terests which distract her mind
from thoughts of herself but so often
this rule doesn't work because the
victim of unpopularity is special
case and needs special instructions.
There are many girls who are un-
popular simply and solely because
of their lack of vitality. They may
seem colorless and uninteresting,
dull and stupid because of in-health
or some lack of energy which
could be remedied if they found out
the truth about themselves.
There are girls sUhose inability to make
friends rests solely on the fact that they
have forbidding manners that are aIoof
and frigid. These girls ,oiH tell you con.
afdeatly chat they haze friendliest feelings
IN the suorgd tosUard everyone and io0nt to
be iked-yef il they sorite a long intimate
account Of themselves if s0iAA very often
be revealed that they are super critical
and extremely sure OF their o,on opinions.
They are humble about their lack OF pop.
uLarity yet amazingly arrogant in c0nnec.
ton with other matters.
And there are always girls who
simply need to attend to their APP
pearance in order to attract some
of the attention they crave so. I'm
tidiness and slovenliness have more
effect on the high school audience,
than the average girl in her teens
suspects. The very young genera
ton is critical of the dowdy, down.
at-the-heel girl whose hair is al
ways mess and whose general ap-
pearance is frumpy. Even. linn
tied income can be made to pro-
duce at least one trim costume for
school use.
But as say, one can't lay down
hard and fast rules. One must hear
about the patients symptoms first.
Will the girls who write me on this
absorbing topic, give me some ink
ling as to what manner of human
beings they are. The more. they
write, the more they reyealCin some
way or other what their drawbacks
and their virtues may be. ! shall
be glad to answer all questions on
this subject If I am given some
thing to 60 on.

Boy Deserves Credit
for Clinging to Aira
DESPITE Objections.

NEAR MISS DENE: am twenty
~ one years old and have planned
to marry boy Of twenty-five who
has Just started working. His father
objects to me and has refused to
let the boy see me any more. My
fiance has consented to his fathers
wishes. He came to me, told me
the truth and said that until he
could support me without his ia
TIERS help, he would not see me
any more. SO long as he Is relying
on his father, he will not go back on
his word not to see me. don't
know what to think or what to do
Nancy Y. H
In the same mail comes letter
from the sister of Nancy who says
she knows her little sister is seeking
my advice-and wishes to tell me
the true facts of the case.
tT know" writes the sister, "that
this boy doesn't care for N. as he
should or he would have stuck to
her through thick and thin. She is
making fool of herself and break
ing her heart over a worthless man.
only want to help her but / want
you to tell her that this boy isn't
the man for her and that he has
shown clearly that he doesn't love
her.-Sarah."
ANSWER-Sorry, Sarah, but !
can't condemn the boy out of hand.
He must have a fair trial before be-
ing dismissed as an utter cad and
lukewarm lover. And Nancy must
be given an honest answer, not an
outburst of angry oratory at the
expense of men in general and Nam
cy's true love in particular.
Don't forget the boy is only twen-
ty-two-and not yet able to make his
own living apparently. That makes
it necessary for him to live with
father and mother for while. True,
if he were constructed of heroic ma
terial he'd 60 out into the cruel
cold world to starve in the cause
of true love-but heroes aren't pop
ular in these modern times. And
with so much unemployment and
depression in the world just now, /
for one could not praise boy who
added to the sum total of the worlds
human misery by voluntarily join
ing the bread line.
This lad has had to compromise
with his fate. He must live with
his father who has exacted from
him promise never to see his fair
lady again. Having promised the
hero shows a commercially honor
able spirit in refusing to break his
word on the sly. There is certainly
something to be said for him in
holding strongly to his purpose.
No one can blame Nancy for feel
ing hurt and miserable over the sit
uatiop. No one can blame her for
seeking to mend her broken heart
as best she may. But she need not
feel that her erstwhile fiance is Ell
