Problems That Perplex I
Br Beatrice Fstrms. I
Advice for F. S.
Dear Miss Fairfax: This is my first
letter to you, although I try to find
time to read your advice to others. I
am writing In behalf of F. S., whose
letter I saw in print Tuesday.
He may be the F. S. I know, and he
may not. If he is. I'm afraid your
advice won't help him much.
F. S., you deserve a good position,
because you have worked and studied
hard to get it, but there Is one thing
you lack. That is self-confidence.
Dear F. 8., put more confidence in
yourself. If you are like my F. S
you have a good personality, you
make friends easily, you are generous
hearted: in fact, you are always striv
ing to please others. Please, F, 8..
that self-confidence along with all
your other good points, will win you
as good a position some day as you
could ever hope for. I sincerely hope
F. 8. will read this and I hope, more
than anything else, that he will suc
ceed. A FRIEND.
Oik or Many?
Dear Miss Fairfax: This Is the
second time I have written you and
hope that my letter will appear in
your column of advice. I| consider
your advice ns excellent or !• would
not waste my stationery in this man
ner.
I am 18 and am going with asplen
did young man who is one year my
senior. I have gone with him steadily
for a year, and neither he or 1 have
every gone with any one else. Al
though my mother likes ‘ids boy
very much, she often asks me why
1 never go with any other boy. T
have had enough chances, but always
refuse them because I absolutely will
not go with a hoy who does not pos- ,
sess a most admirable character. The
boy I am going with is •‘spoiling" me
for ever dating with any one else.
However. I did try going with an- '
other boy one time, and one evening j
was all 1 could stand, lie treated me |
splendidly and 1 was made miserable
because I had to treat him likewise
when I really felt like pulling his
pompadour the wrong way and I
dozen other cruel things. Ami doing
wrong by likirjg and going with just
this one boy?
When walking in rather crowded
streets should a boy take hold of the
young lady's arm with whom he is
walking or she lake his? I have seen
the latter more often and wondered
at it. Please answer my riuesttons
just as soon as possible, as I am
VERY ANXIOUS.
You are rather young to have a
"steady,” but as you two are so con
genial perhaps you had better leave
the other poor boys alone until you
can overcome the temptation of
"treating them rough.” The man
should toko the girl's arm.
Mildred: Leave your eyebrows alone
unless they are very Irregular. There
is no necessity for removing the hair
under your arms unless you wear
a sleeveless gown. Of course he should
speak. Seriously. Mildred your letter
sounds quite childish. Are you try
ing to ■•spoof" me or don’t you know
any better?
M. H.: ‘‘Faint heart never won fair
lady." SI. XI. If you love the girl and
think she returns your love, why not
propose and find out?
M. N.t There is a two year course
in journalism at Central High school,
also a course at tha University of Ne
braska in Lincoln.

Adelc Garrison's New Phase of
“Revelations of a Wife”
(Copyright 1*22)
The Promise Madge Manat*,l to
Kilrart From Dicky.
1 saw one thing very clearly as 1
followed the hurrying veranda nibbles
to I he living room. I must placate
Mrs. Barker, soften her attitude to
ward Dicky, or my whole well laid
scheme of silencing gossip concern
ing the harmless hut bizarre escapade
of Dicky and Claire Foster would fall
to the ground.
From the brief encounter I had
had with her I hail recognized a type
of woman I had seen before but
rarelf. She had extremely strong
convictions and prejudices, some of
them narrow, but Mrs. Barker was
not petty, and the principles govern
ing her life were as strong as her
prejudices, and as big as her heart,
if I could only sound the right note
of appeal to her I would find her a
valuable ally to my scheme.
But woe betide me If X tried to de
ceive her. IXer outburst to me, “But
I don’t understand you!” and her
verbal tongue lashing of Dicky had
shown me that she was not misled by
the ingenuous role X had attempted
with her, while her delicacy In hurry
ing away that she might not witness
my meeting with Claire Foster had
confirmed my impression that any
number of untamed equities could
not wrest from her anything told her
In confidence.
"Play Up, Now."
There nan but one thing to do, to
lay my cards unreservedly upon the
table between us and appeal to the
justice and warm - heartedness I
sensed behind her grim exterior.
But first I must get hold of Picky.
T could not afford to let his uncertain
temper—nay, rather, upon this occa
sion—his certain bad temper, spoil
my plans. T accelerated my pace, and
was amused to see that the women
ahead of me, evidently noticing the
Increased tempo of my footsteps, has
tened their own, so that when they
reached the living room door they
were fairly scurrying like fat breath
less rabbits.
I walked past them with no indica
tion that 1 had seen them, and went
down the steps to where Dicky stood
moodily smoking. 1 put my hands on
his arm for the benefit of the veran
da audience, augmented now by the
three reporters standing in a little
group away from the others.
•'I w'ant you to promise me some
thing," I said in so low a voice that
I knew even the taxi drivers stand
ing near us could pot hear me.
"If it’s about that cat of a Barker
woman—” he growled, but ho was as
careful as I to keep his voice low, and
I interrupted him ruthlessly.
"It’s just that,” I said evenly.
"And all I ask of you is to keep out
of the way for a few minutes, and
when you do come in to supper, to
act as if nothing had happened. I ll
manage her, but I simply cannot
have you upset things for me."
He waited a sulky minute before
answering.
"Oh, all right," he said sullenly at
last. "I'll Veep my tongue between!
my teeth, but I'll probably choke In
the attempt. But I warn you. I'm
not going to stay in the old beldame's
house tonight, bo if you don’t want
a taxi bill which will bankrupt us.
you'd better hurry things up.’ ’
"Play up now," I whispered. Then 1
said in my normal voice:
“I won't he long.” and I let the ver
an da audience have the full benefit
of a tender little pat on the arm,
and an airy little wave of the hand as
I left him.
Dinky “played up” to the extent of
a debonair answering gesture, and 1 j
mounted the steps, well pleased w ith •
the completion of my first task.
Miss Cargill's smiling nod as 1
came up the steps clinched a decision j
I had made when I had Been Claire
Foster. I went up to the group of
three and said in low. decisive tones.
"Miss Foster. Mr. Graham and I are
going to have supper In the dining
room in a very few minutes. "It would
ho too much for Miss Foster to see
you three, hut If Miss Cargill can
represent you all, I ain sure we will
all la? pleased to give you through
her any information you need to fin
ish this absurd afTiilr.”
'•That will he bully," Mr. Rtckett
exclaimed.
“You are very kind. Thank you so
much,” Miss Cargill murmured. But
young Mr. Smytbe turned on his heel
loftily ignoring me. I knew, however,
that he would not come near us after
our little encounter of the morning,
and I went on into the house, hoping
that my luck would continue with
Mrs. Barker.
I found her in the dining room,
placing a bountiful supper upon tlie
(able. Her back looked uncompromis
ing, and her lace as she turned it
upon me when she heard my foot
steps, was dark and forbidding.
