E'ear Miss Fairfax: 1 am a di vorcee. and have rented one of my three rooms to a friend of the family. > » He has always been very nice to me ind I admire him greatly as a friend. He has proposed to me several times and I have been frank by telling him I do not care enough for him to mar ry him. He is m poor health and is heavily in debt and only makes a menial salary. I am 33. and practically engaged to a fine man who is out of' tot*n and whom he knows well, although 'he does act know of our engagement, as I am afraid to tell him. He is very h.gh tempered, and really I have said everything I could without telling him the exact facts, and he has al ways known I thought a great deal of the other man. How can I tell him without causing him to grieve or do anything desperate? FAIR PLAT. You are permitting yourself to be enmeshed in a situation w hieh can bring no good to anyone. You must find courage to bring this man to a sane view of the subject. Do not en courage him. Do not play with dan ger or let the s.tuation drift along either because you like the flattery of attention or because you are too lazy' to extricate yourself from a dif ficult position. You say you are practically engaged" to a man who Is out of town. Are you sure that in your hunger for admiration and com panionship you are not encouraging the ineligible man so you will have him to console you in case the en gagement never becomes an actual ity? You must put an end to this false situation—do it tactfully but firmly, and with full faith in the rightness of honesty. 1 —Is the Time to Buy Furniture, Rugs and Draperies During Our Closing Out Sale!

As her mother was forever lxast:ng. she was the 'iant®nmcst young Rabbit '.ady in a.l Pleasant Valley. And If you don't believe tt you would better ask Jim 11V Rabbit about that. He would tell you what ha thought. As for Belinda herself, she was never * satisfied with her own looks. Somehow the stylish clothes that her 'mother made for her n»\er quite suit ed her. Privately she thought that her mother was ibbu' a. doaen years ixdnnd the times, where questions of fashion were concerned. roor Mrs. Bunny: She fnurd it quite discouraging, trying to please her daughter. No matter how much time Mrs. Bunrv spent, making over her old clothes for Belinda, 'hat young person always Remanded a tnck here or a ruffle there a how in thia place or a furbelow in that, where Mrs. Bunny had Ipft a gown quite plain and sever".. And as :f that nasi) t enough—and too much—Belinda Bunny began at last o tell her mother she must have signs uowder for her face. ".‘Jakes alive'" cried Mrs. Bunny, the first time Belinda mentioned power to her. "What are we com ing to?" “Now ma said Miss Bunn "All the girls-" "I won t hear another word." said Mrs. Bur.nv severely. "What would your grandma think if she came here a-visitlng and found that I let you daub powder on your face "’ Belinda did not artfct'y this ques tion. Instead she began to pout, which was a little way she had of telling her mother, without words, that she knew what was best for her and that she meant to have ;t, too. She had discovered that it was safer to express her thtftights in that fashion, rathpr than say them right out. Probably nobody eise ever learned that little trick. Well, the days passed. And Mrs. Bunny had about forgotten the mat ter of powder, when Belinda came home one evening, with a very good look on her face. Her mother no ticed it at once. And she knew that there must be some reason for it. "Now, Belinda Bunny.'" she ex claimed. "What have you been doing that you shouldn't?” "Nothing, ma:" Belinda answered. Her mother gave her a searching glance. "What's that on your face?" she demanded. "Come here to me. Bend your head over." She seir»d her daughter and dragged her to the light. "There's a queer, white ring around your face," Mrs. Bunny declared after she had taken a good look at her daughter. "I can't think what it can be." And then she remembered what had been said about powder, a we“k or two before. "Have you been putting something cm your fare, BelmJa?" she a*k*-d sternly. “Well—or—l—I just tried a littie pew-ier—" Belinda stammered. "Ha ” rr.H Mr Bunny ' ‘ Where did you get It?" “Jimmy Rabbit gave it to me. ’ "That Rabbit boy:’ cried her moth er "Where did he get th» stuff”" "It came from the farmhouse.’ said Belinda V--~ :*» - 'Em!’ sit* said thoughtfully. ‘That’ will 40 now." •‘But what a queer way to put it on your face!'' Mrs. Bunny exclaim ed. "I didn't know ;t was the style to make a round ring lik^ that ” “It ;sn t. ma.’’ Belenda replied. “I put it all over my face. And then, when I found how good It lasted. I licked it off—as far as iny tongue could reach.'' “My goodness!" cried her mother. "It'll he a a mercy if you're not ill. Hare you any more of this powder?" "A little." Belinda confessed. "Give it to me." , Mrs. Bunny ordered. With a sigh Belinda ’ handed her mother a pinch of white powder in an acorn cup. Mrs. Bunny ’ouched her tcmgue to it. “Hm!" she sa:d thoughtfully. That will do now. You may go." When Jimmy Rabbit came to the ( Bunny s home the next day. to see Belinda. Mrs. Bunny herself came to the door. ‘That white powder that you gave Belinda—do you know what it is?" she asked him. Jimmy Rabbit felt v*-ry uncom fortable. He knew that Mrs Bunny could scold, when she wanted to. Y—I—I think it's called flour, he stuttered. And then 'Mrs. Bunny said some thing that surprised him. "See f you can't get me a bushel f it she urged him. 'Somehow t has a very pleasing taste."
