Family Dislikes
His Girl

Dear Miss Fairfax:
A few months ago, I was in
troduced to a girl with whom
l have fallen in love. I am %
years old and she a year or two
younger. She is very devoted
to me, and we were both happy
until my family suddenly inter.
fered, and took a dislike to her.
They insisted I stop going with
her Do you think it was right
for me to give up this girl who
loved me, and whom I love. just
to please my family?
I've always done, more or less.
as they asked me, but at my age
I think I ought to be able to de-
eide in matters of love. Don't
you agree with me? I'm right
at the point of calling her up
to make a date to meet me on
the sly. Is that a good move,
or what can I do? My family
really has nothing against the
girl. but they have become
prejudiced. DAN.
You haven't told me anything
about your home life. Are you
dependent on the family for
support, or do you have a good
position? If you are working,
and share the expenses with the
others in the home, then, it
seems to me, you are old enough
to exercise some freedom of
choice in regard to your friends.

Famous
Women
By BAB LINCOLN

TN EVERY town there's
l. probably one dancing
school where the same
families send their children
year after year and genera
ton after generation. In
Washington it's NJ in nj e
Hawke who teaches the
grandchildren of her first
pupils the conventional pat
tern of good dancing. Not
that she doesn't give all the
modern steps, too mercy
yes, she's always taught her
classes the latest fads from
the cake walk on down to
the wickedest rhumba. But
those steps are just inciden-
tai. Miss Hawkes. pupils
from the three-year-olds on
up are given a thorough and
firm foundation in ballroom
dancing as it was meant to
be.
The youngsters at Miss Min
MES still wear gloves, both the
boys and the girls. The chill
dren's cotillions and Christmas
parties, and the May Festival at
the Sulgrave Club are as much a
tradition as the Potomac River.
She Teaches
Good Manners
Her pupils are taught to stand
and sit, to enter and leave a
room with grace, to shake hands
elegantly, to open and shut a
door, and all the little niceties
that make the difference be-
tween good manners and bad.
Last year Miss Hawke cele-
brated the fiftieth anniversary
of her teaching dancing.
Yes, I've taught a good many
children of celebrated families"
Miss Hawke replied yesterday in
answer to an inquiry, "and I've
taught a good many children
who have become celebrated
either professionally or in the
events of their later lives"
The most talented little girls
she has ever had come into her
class turned out to be Ina Claire
and Helen Hayes.
"Oh, no, they weren't in
school together" Miss Hawke
said. "You know Ina is about
9 years older than Helen. Both
were extremely precoclouS.
Helen's mother brought her to
me when she was about 3 or 4,
and even then, she could do the
cleverest limitations and could
dance like little fairy"
Helen Hayes
Visits Her
Miss Hawke says that Helen
Hayes, appearing currently at
the National in Victoria
Regina" always comes to see
her, and often on her visits
drops in at the dancing studio.
"She brought her little daugh-
ter, MarJ Macarthur, to me Tor
her first dancing lesson" Miss
Hawke said, "and think she,
too is a very talented little
girl"
Miss Hawke is twin, and she
and her sister, Mrs. Bert Sax
ton, live together. They are ex-
actly alike, and it's easy to inn
aglne what a cute little pair
they must have been in the days
when they danced and taught
together. Now, Mrs. Saxton
only helps with the costumes,
and the business side of the
dancing school. Nicely brought
up as they were, it never oc-
Cured to either to want to go
on the stage.
A clever young assistant, &C.
cording to Miss Hawke, makes
the trips to New York, picks up
the new steps, and does the
active instructing in the wild
new dances. She herself is on
the floor most of the time
though at her Wednesday ballet
clssSes, and at her ballroom
classes on Friday and Saturday
evenings.

All Frightened
AtFirSt

We were delighted, for when
they saw their first dogs they
seemed frightened of them. But
there was no fear this time.
Cecile wanted to know right
away whose dog he was and
when she was told that the dog
belonged to her and her sisters,
they all wanted to know why
they couldn't play with him.
We have a cat, too, at the
nursery. and the children never
get a chance to play with it, al
though they do admire it
through the fence. The cat be-
longs to the policeman who lives
near by and it comes over every
day to play with Tony. The
two are great friends.
A few days ago l was in the
play yard and Tony went by. 1t
was a cold morning, so the chill
dren asked the nurse if Tony was
cold. The nurse gave a little
shiVer herself and said, Yes.
I'm sure he is"
The five of them held a con-
sultation for a minute and then
rushed over to me to ask me if 1
would get Tony a nice warm
coat like they had. Cecile
thought even farther, for she
piped up. Cant the kitty have
q coat, too."

Warburton's dress was pale, pale
pink; the fabric was a stiffened
organza that fitted slimly
through the waist and spread
out into a great bell-Shaped
skirt. The tinieSt straps held
the extreme decolletage, and two
triangular ruby and diamond
clips fastened three pink carna-
tions on top of her blond head.
Her wide link bracelet was en-
crusted with square-cut rubies
and diamonds, and her sable
wrap was a short bolero.

somehow smell more heavenly
in this climate, were pinned at
one side of her frock.
She carried a white fox jacket

Sales Supervisor,
Henderson Tobacco Market

With the opening Of the Hender-
son Tobacco Market only two ana
one-nalf weeks off, eyes OF local
tobacco farmers will turn to the
Eastern Carolina belt, which opens
Tuesday, to gain an idea OF now
prices will run down there. AS a
usual rule, prices paid in the East
serve as a general guide as to how
prices will range in the Middle Belt,
of which Henderson is one OF the
predominating markets.
From observations in the east and
from predictions of tobacco authorl-
ties travelling the Eastern Carolina
section, prices there are expected
to be slightly lower than those paid
on the Border Belt markets now
holding sales This differential is
due in large measure to the lower
quality tobacco generally predomi-
mating in the east as a result OF
most unfavoraple growing con-.
ditions. Tobacco is of very thin,
papery quality, taken as q. whole,
and does not compare at all well
with the heavier bodied leaf pro-
duced in this section this year.
AS a general prediction, prices on
the Henderson market and other
Middle Belt markets should sell
higher than in the east, particularly
on the better grades. Heavy tobacco
has been scarce on markets from
Florida and Georgia on up through
buyers having orders for heavier
qualities of cigarette tobacco will

Highway Safety Division, is enthus-
iastic about the schools and is parti-
cularly elated over the fact that
most of the enrollees are young peo-
pie.
Il have consistently maintained
that the only real long range solu-
ton Of the safe driving problem is
through the youth of North Caro-
lima, and it is particularly gratify-
ing to see that the young people are
taking ADVANTAGE Of the cour~"~ in
driving offered them by the WPA-
sponsored Schools" he said.
"When the day comes that safety
is taught in our schools from the
first grade through the graduating
class in high school it will not be
long before the fact is reflected in
steadily declining accidents and fa
talities on the highways.
"It is my belief that teaching of
safety to children carries right
through to the adults, because the
child who is learning it goes home
and tells all about it to the grown
ups of its family."

reaching the Henderson market.
Recent rains this week did not af-
feet the local crop to any ap-
preciable extent as all but the tip
leaves, in most cases, have already
been barned. AS a general rule,
that tobacco which is not barned in
the Henderson territory by next
Saturday night as well be left in
the field, as by that time tip leaves
will have received too much mois-
ture, or will have been burned too
badly to be worthy of curing.
Meanwhile, during the next two
weeks, Henderson warehousemen
are making last minute preparations
for the coming season, expected 70
be one of the largest and best the
market has known for number OF
years. Practically all warehouses
will begin next week checking over
floors, repairing worn spots, repair
ing rooms which have been dam
aged during the winter, and other
minor details.
The official sales card of the Hen
derson market has been issued and
warehousemen are rapidly dis
tributing their own private sales
cards for the coming season. By. the
end of next week, preparations will
al be completed, and by Wednesday
or Thursday of the following week,

pected to begin coming in to the

Centennial
Group Will
Meet Soon
To Make Preliminary
Survey for Hender-
sons Hundredth An
niversary E " e n t
Early in 1941.

A meeting is to be held at an early
date, it was learned today, of the
committee of the Henderson KiWanis
plans for the centennial of the found
ing Of Her derson. The committee was
named al meeting of the Kiwanis
club several months ago, and will
take the lead, with the sponsorship
of the civic body, in project to
stage a mammoth celebration here in
the spring of 1941.
1t was the legislature of 1841, near
ly a century ago, that granted the
charter for the Town of Henderson.
Those who have given some thought
to the idea have in mind an event
without precedent for Henderson,
and one that will be in keeping with
the centennial year.
When the KiWanis committee, COM
posed of J. H. Bridgers, T. S. Kit
treI and J. B. Hicks, all past presi-
dents of the club, meets, it will mere
ly survey the groundwork for the
proposed celebration
Suggestions have been made that
this body may be added to form
other organizations, and that it will
serve as the central steering commit
tee for the celebration, with a mass
of detail attended to by various
groups. In the meantime, there is lit
tie that can be said of a definite ma
ture. 1t is known, however, that some
thought has already been given to
general proposals for the celebration
and these and others will be given
consideration when actual work real
ly gets under way.
