Can't Keep
Girls Friendship

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I went steady" with q girl
for about three months, having
known her about two years. A
couple of weeks ago we had a
quarrel, which ended our
friendship. The cause Of our
breakup was a remark made
by her girl chum who said I
was not mice sort of boy to
know" It was brought up one
night while we were at a party,
and we quarreled.
Was this accusation any fault
OF mine? In my humble esti-
nation I seem to be a decent
young man. don't even smoke
or drink. My manners are good,
and I've always been told I'm
a "swell" dancer. Now, why
can't I keep a girls friendship?
JACK.
If there are no grounds for
saying that you are not a mice
sort of boy to know" it seems
to me your girl was foolish to
listen to such gossip. After all,
this charge doesn't seem very
serious to me. And your girl
ought to know what kind Of a
boy you are, after having known
you two years. Much of that sort
of loose talk is just plain, old
fashioned jealousy. MY best ad-
vice to YOU is forget it,"

HERE is just gossip, about

we may have marvellous design
ers and fashion artists right here
in America. They are so expert
that many of our screen stars

on American stylistS, but even
so, there will always be a few
women who buy everything they
wear in Paris, and we will con-

BY Beatrice Fairfax

nEAR Miss Fairfax:
~ At "a years I'm in love
for the first time in my life, He
is % and we are both employed
by the same business office;
therefore, I see him every day.
AS far as I know he has never
married, and he seems bashful
around women.
He comes and talks to me,
hanging around my desk a good
deal, but never asks for a date.
Do you think I ought to take
the initiative? DOUBTING.
No, indeed, I don't think it
would be advisable to push your
self too much. If he gives any
hint that he would like to call,
why not invite him? But make
it a party-invite him to Sun
day night supper, including an
other couple or two. and then
you'll find out whether he
wants to come again.

inspired manufacturers, we
really have the best Of every
thing in this line.
We were reminded Of this
again when we talked with Hol.
lywood's pioneer makeup artist,
Max Factor, after his last trip
to Europe. Mr.. Factor has
numerous laboratories in the
foreign countries, as well as the
ones in America, and after a
few days of being besieged in
his Paris hotel by SO many
French women and girls, he
was convinced they all seemed
to think the way to a career in
the movies was through the use
of Hollywood cosmetics. They
are quite sure Of their own
charm and good looks and 1t
was Just up TO the GreaC MAX
Factor to tell them the secret
of this Hollywc I makeup"
Mr.. Factor thinks the French
women use far too much street
makeup. They find rouge is a
pleasing contrast to their bru-
nette hair and usually fair skin,
so they use much more of 1t
than they should, and the same
is true of eye makeup.

A community will have its
parent-teachers associations to
give help and education to those
dealing with children. It will
endow gymnasiums, swimming
pools, recreation and education
centers, libraries and character
building institutions. But 1t
leaves the important business OF
promoting marriages to the
dance halls, night clubs and
other social places where per-
sons Of the opposite sex may
meet and get acquainted.
I don't say that young people
do not meet and make friends
at the other places. They do.
But there are many who don't
join educational or health
groups nor are they attracted to
institutions which offer them
nothing they may wish.
Many Reply
to "H. w."
Recently a man. "H. w"
wrote to me. He was lonely and
frankly admitted he wanted q
wife. He was so desperate for
q mate he was willing to take
one "sight unseen" His mind
turned toward the doubtful help
of matrimonial bureaus. He even
wanted men to help him. Since
then I have been Swamped with
letters in answer to his appeal
and in reply to my advice to
him. At least 20 women wrote
asking for his name and address.
What does this indicate?
Doesn't 1t show that something
is wrong with our scheme Of
social life that so many decent,
self-reSpecting souls must go
mateleSs because of the lack of
opportunities to meet members
of the opposite sex?
Why do we hide behind a
false modesty and a silly diff
fidence in this matter? Why do
we smile patronizingly upon
people who admit they want to
marry and have a home? Why
do we suspect the lonely person
Of being "Sexy" and not quite
as nice as our own SNUG selves
who have the same urges but
no such problem?
The social agencies in a COM
lunity are bent on saving
'orals and souls. But they don't

!Ebor those souls and give

 T told her I was going to send her to heaven" Mrs. Thomsen said. "She smiled and seemed happy"
 Mrs. Thomsen apparently counted the minutes it took Kathleen to die. Then she carried Harry in from the next room. Harry, being but five months, couldn't pray 50 she prayed for him. He died quickly, she said.
 Mrs. Thomsen seemed greatly amused when police took her finger prints. She giggled all through it. When they photographed her, she said, still giggling:
 T know what that's for. It's for the rogue's gallery"
 When Mrs. Thomsen was 19, police said, she sat in an automobile while male companion held up a store keeper. For that, she served time in the New Bedford Reformatory for Women, and she told police that never in her life had she been so well fed and so well cared for. Po- lice also said that they understood that when she was 12 she was treat ed in state institution for mental cases.
 Mrs. Thomsen's husband is a la- borer, also 25. He denied that he had mistreated his wife, as she al- legged. He said he tried to take her to the movies occasionally. but couldn't afford to take her as often as she wanted to go. The Thom- sens are very poor.

Andrew ViStinsky, attorney general, called Levin to testify first, as per- haps the most eminent of the medi- cal men defendants. As chief of the Kremlin hospital, he headed an in- stitution at which only the highest Russians were treated. His name had to appear on the death certifl- cates of all leaders.
 Pleads Guilty Himself
 Pleading guilty at the outset of his testimony to having killed Gorky, Levin said ne did so by giy- ing the 68-year-old writer the wrong treatment. Yagoda, he said, forced him to kill Gorky by bribery and intimidation. He said also that he instructed Dr. Kazakov, inventor of the famous "lizates" cure-all, to kill Viacheslav Menzhinsky, Yagoda's predecessor os chief of secret police. Menzhinsky suffered from heart disease, it was the prosecutions contention, and he was killed when the cure-all was mixed with his normal medicine. Levin admitted telling Kazakov to mix the cure- all with the heart medicine.

 Tn addition to these, there were sometimes given on the same day two more injections of digitalis plus four more injections of caffein and two of strychnine. This naturally was harmful to Gorky's health"
 Maxim Peshkov died, ostensibly of pneumonia, in 1884. Maxim Gorky (his real name was Alexei Maximovitch Peshkov) died June 18. 1886, ostensibly of grippe and lung trouble.
 Prof. Levin Witness Today
 Prof. Levin, one of 21 defendants ill the mass trial of Bolshevik op- position leaders, was today's first witness as the dramatic case rounded out its first week.
 It is the prosecutions charge that he, Yagoda, Pavel P. Bulanov, a secret police executive; Prof. Dmitri D. Pletnev, Russias's leading heart specialist, internationally famous; Dr. 1gnati N. Kazakov, father of a cure-all extract called lizates which was so popular that a special insti- ute was built for him and his prac- tice was restricted to leaders; Peter P. Kryuckov, Gorky's secretary, and Benjamin Maximov- -Dikovsky, secre- tarty to the late Valerian V. Kuib- ishev, chief of the state planning commission, were principals in a vast murder conspiracy by which men highin the Josef Stalin regime were to be "liquidated".
