Problems That Perplex Answered by BEATRICE FAIRFAX_ A ge Difference No Barrier. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am about to be married to a nice chap, but there is one thW in my path of happiness. I am exactly 18 months his senior and people say a girl should be younger than a man because she ages quicker. Is this true? 1 am 26. L. T. My advice to you is the same as in all such cases. If you wero 20 and the boy 18 I should feci that the boy was too young to know his ow n mind. If you were 30 and the man 23, I should feel that you were a woman - and lie still a boy. But tit 24 and 23 V you are so close in years, in experi ence and knowledge of life—that the difference in calendar jears or months makes no barrier. The barrier exists when too great youth or too great difference in age builds it. But a year or two one way or the other doesn't set man and woman off as belonging to different generations. .She Does Not I.nve Him. Dear Miss Fairfax: Why does a man persist in loving a girl whom he knows does not truly love him? X am IS and have been going about for over a year with u young man three years my senior. Although I admire i lie sterling character of my sweet heart and his devotion, I feel I do not love him. He is well meaning, but I have ab solutely no faith in him to be able to accomplish anything. His financial condition at present is such that man riage id far distant, and, as I have no faith in him, I do not believe I can love him. 1 have explained this to him. but lie has only responded with tho fact that he loves me. It is sim ply my sympathy for him that I cannot leave him. DILEMMA. Of course you can't marry a man for whom you feel such sentiments as you describe. But you might at least give him a little faith in return for his devotion. You need not be a destructive force In his life. Don't tell him that you don't believe he Is capable of getting anywhere in* tho world. This cannot help weighing on his mind and handicapping him unless he is so ''set” and stubborn that he will grit his teeth and set out stub bornly to prove you all wrong. Make it clear that you do not love him— hut lu return for his devotion give at least the honest, constructive friendship of trying to aid him to ward success. - FINAL* Coats Suits Dresses * CLEARANCE Skirts Sweaters 1F7 Colorado Lump V© Smokeless—Bootless 'w. y .Vary High-Grade.

My Marriage Problems A dele Garrison’s New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife." Why Madge Felt » “Comfortable Lit tle Feeling of Safety." I found Claire Foster, dressed for traveling, even to her hat. rushing I frantically from her packing. “I'm going to make it!" she said breathlessly. "I can't get everything I in, but I can get some stout paper and cord from Mrs. Barker and make ! a bundle of what is left. “I’ll help you," I promised, to reas j sure her. “But come to breakfast j now.” j She looked at me with suddenly widened eyes In which there was the haunting fear I had seen when she had mentioned Herbert Pettit's name. “I—I couldn't eat any breakfast,” : she faltered. I took her by the shoulders and swung her around facing me. “Look here,” I said crisply. "There’s nothing more unpleasant going to ; happen to you. I guarantee it. The ; taxi is already waiting for us, and we | only have to eat our breakfasts and start. I have telephoned Dicky to meet us at Tlmklnsvllle. and we will motor from there to Nantucket and go from there to New York on the A. V. & W. In leas than 20 minutes we shall be away from even the road leading to Caldwtn.” “You mean—” she began breathless ly. "I mean that you mustn t delay tne game by not eating,” I Interrupted. "I will not stir a step unless you eat a decent breakfast. I won't insist upon it's being a hearty one. And there is not the slightest reason for your being nervous. 1*11 tell you all about It when we get Into the taxi.” She drew a deep breath, aa might a child who had been assured of safe ty from some pursuing danger, and faced me with steady eyes. "I won’t hinder you any longer," she said simply. "That’s right,” T said briskly. "Come along to the dining room now.” She followed me docilely down the hall and Into the dining room, where we found our places set, and as we sat down Mrs. Barker and the sulky maid came through the kitchen door, each with a covered tray. Mrs. Barker Explains. “It will save time to have these things ready by your plate,’’ Mrs. Bar ker said practically. “Just keep them covered until you’ve finished your fruit." She brushed an imaginary crumb ! from the tablecloth, came around to my side of the table, and said in a low voice intended for my ear alone: “I didn’t intend that anyone should eat In here this morning while you were here, but an old man came In laat night after you did, who had made a mistake and left his train at the wrong station—he's some kind of high-class foreigner by the looks and accent of him—and he came Just now and asked for an early breakfast, so I couldn't help giving It to him. But he doesn't know anything about this mixup as the people in the house do. so I don't think you need to mind.” "No, I don't mind.” I returned quietly, although my pulses had quickened with excitment. For I knew, of course, who was the elderly foreigner whom she meant— knew as well as 1 did a minute later when Harry Underwood. In his cjever but fantastic disguise of Don Ramon Almlrez walked In and took a seat at the other end of the room. Claire Foster opened her eyes wide at the sight of him, and with a flash of her old vivacity touched my foot beneath the table. "Where did he get It?” she mur mured bending over her cereal. "Hush,” I countered, wearily watch ing Mr. Underwood out of the corner of my eye. An Unknown Quantity. I had no Idea whether or not he meant to speak to me. Harry Under wood is always distinctly the unknown quantity of any equation which con tains him. Ills appearance at the Barker house, protected from conjec ture as it was by his ingenious story, proved that he was carrying out his voiced Intention of watching out for me. I did not take much stock in his rather melodramlc hints of hidden dangers lurking in my path, but the knowledge of his proximity and care of me gave mo a queerly-comfortable little feeling of safety.

Mr. ('row Gives a Lesson. - Jimmy Rabbit was a great admirer of Alisa Melinda Bunny. He often called at her house. He sometimes brought her presents. He even did errands now and then for her Uncle Isaac. “I'll sing for her. under her win dow, some night!" he exclaimed one day. Of course he was thinking of Belinda Bunny. Now, there was only one slight drawback about his singing for Be linda Bunny—or for anybody else. Jimmy Rabbit didn't know how lo sin*. And as soon as he recalled that fact he looked very glum- But soon he cried, “I'll take singing les sons!" Jimmy Rabbit generally founJ a way out of every dlfliculty. This was the reason why he went to old Mr. Crow and asked him for the name of a good singing teacher. ^'That’s easy." Mr. Crow told him. “I can tell you without the slightest trouble. The name of the best sing ing temper In Pleasant Valley—you want' the best, don't you?" “Ves!" , “Ha! I thought so," said the old gentleman wisely. "Well—ha! hum! —it's All-. Crow." Jimmy Rabbit was greatly sur prised. Hp bad had no Idea that Mr. Crow was a singing teacher. And he told Mr. Crow so, too. “It's true,” Mr. Crow admitted, "that I am not teaching here at present. 1 don't teach because there are no good pupils. When I teach, I want a pupil who knows nothing at all about singing. A good many folks hero in the valley think they can sing. If I undertook to teach 'em the right way, I'd have to unteach ’em everything they thought they knew first. But with you It would > he easy. You don't know anythin*' at all." "About singing," Jimmy Rabbit added. Mr. Crow nodded. And then he j said, "When do you want your first ! lesson?” "Now!” Jimmy cried. "Good!" • Mr. Crow exclaimed. "Now, listen closely. Ini going to teach you a rong. I'll sing a song. And when I've finished it you must try to sing It Just as I did." He began. He began the most doleful, mournful song that Jimmy Rabbit had ever heard. "Stop!" Jimmy interrupated. "I don't want to learn that song. I want to learn something gay and pretty." Hf began the 7no»t doleful, mournfVil tong that Jimmy Rabbit had ever heard. "Ah!” Mr. Crow replied. "I ktvw you were a greenhorn—where sing ing's concerned. I’lease don’t stop me aggln. I must teach you by my method. I always teach thfe sad songs tlrst.” Jimmy Rabbit looked a bit foolish as he listened while Mr. Crow began his ong again and droned through It. "Now you try it,” said Mr. Crow, looking much pleased with himself. So Jimmy started to sing Mr. Crow's song. He made the strangest sounds. Nobody would have known the song for the same one that Mr. Crow had sung. It sounded even sad der and more dismal than It had from Mr. Crow’s throat. But the otcfgen tleman seemed very much pleased. lie kept nodding Uls heml amJ tn.itlu;; lime with one of his wings. ‘That’s fine!'' ho declared when Jimmy Rabbit hud finished. "1 dart say there's not another person In Pleasant Valley who could sing that song the way you did.” Well. Jimmy Rabbit couldn't help being flattered. "Can't you teach me a merry song now?" he inquired. "Now, why do you want to leatn a merry one?" Mr. Crow asked him "I want lo give a certain person a serenade," Jimmy explained. "I knew yon were ignorant—about singing,” wild Mr. Crow with another nod of his black head. "A merry song's no good for a serenade. It's sure td wake folks up so that they can't get to sleep ^»g»In. The best kind for that purpose Is a sad song— and tjio sadder the hotter. Then there's some chance that folks will feel so bnd they’ll weep themselves to sleep, after hearing It." Now. all this seemed a bit strange to Jimmy Rabbit, lint he remembered that lie was a greenhorn. And Me Crow sremed lo know everything there was to know—about music. "Well, then." said Jimmy,'"please teach mo the best song for a sere nnde that you can think of.’ "That's Just what I've done." Mr Crow Informed him. "If you want p learn another, coma hack tomor row." (Copyright. > Favorite Recipes • of Famous \\ omen 1 fly AlIIS. t'AIA'IN COOl.llHJK. 1*11101101)10 Salad.
