SOCIETY | Not Her Equal Socially Fears Friends’ Criticisms By BEATRICE FAIRFAX Dear Miss Fairfax: I’m tremend ously attracted by a man who Is far beneath me socially. His education doesn't amount to much. He is un known to society. He is working as a foreman in a factory. His man ners are nothing to boast of, and his English often leaves much to be de sired. 1 am afraid to introduce him to my friends, for 1 know that they would sneer at him. My own people think well of him, for they say that under the veneer • of uncouth manners there is a real man. I know he is good and kind and strong and brave. I believe that he has a future, for he is an earnest worker and his employers (well known to my people) have great faith In him. I am a college -woman employed in library work, which I greatly enjoy. I am 25 and feel that t would like to marry soon and have a home. I can’t get interested in gnv other man—and yet I am ashamed to permit myself to make what X know my friends would term a mesalliance. What would you do? Try to help a good man im-' prove himself—or give him up be cause of your fear of the world and its opinion? EUCILLE J. If you love this man you ought lo be big enough to overlook your friends’ criticisms. The fact that your own people approve of him should count for something. The fear of criticism Is probably as old as the first flicker of "social sense" which urged our cave man ancestors to try to make something of themselves. Sometimes the fear of ridicule Is a constructive thing which serves to prevent our doing foqllsh things which we might be silly enough to risk if we didn't know other folks would sneer at us. But more often the fear of ’’what they will say” is nothing but a weak form of snobbery. Suppose "society” does criticize you for having the courage and vision to step outside its narrow circle. Will society give you any thing in place of the things you sac iflce to conform to its blind stand ards? To be happy and honest, we must have standards of our own which are high and fine and strong enough to stand against the silly catch ~ words of an unthinking group which arranges its so-called thinking along 'follow the leader lines.” Too Deep for Beatrice. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am also one of your readers and qomlng to you for advice. Now, Miss Fairfax, will you tell me wliy It is that every time I meet a boy I fall In love with him or he with me, will you please tell me why this is? I am not bad looking and, of ijourse, I do a great deal of talking. Is this the reason? I have often thought so. Thanking you for ad vice. I am, SHORTY L. It’s too deep for me, Shorty. You are indeed very fortunate. Not many of us can fall in love so easily and very few there are who are so great ly admired. Should Write to Him. Dear Miss Fairfax: For two years I have been corresponding with a college man In a western town. Until a month ago he gave me every rea son to believe that he eared a little. Then he invited me to attend the col lege commencement dance, but rs 1 had no chaperon t was not permitted to go. I wrote him immediately, ex plaining the circumstances, but since then he has not written. Next month I will visit a family living near his home town. Would It be proper for me to write to him and tell him? In spite of myself, 1 love him more every day. BLUE EVES. The boy was hurt and disappointed at your inability to come to his com mencement, which undoubtedly meant a great deal tft him and which did not seem complete without you. Sure ly, you are not going to be so un gracious as to add to his hurt by visiting in his home town and Ignor ing one who always has proved your friend. By all means write him and tell him of your plans, and add that after the grave disappointment it gave you to have to miss commencement you feel as if things were being squar ed by the kindly fate which is send ing you out where you can have the opportunity to hear all about the good times you missed. His silence shows how deeply touched he was over the whole affair. Be generous enough to allow for his viewpoint instead of thinking merely of your own.

I left the kitchen relfeved at the 'sound of rny little maid's mirth. Neither’Katherine nor Mother Gra ham was In the living room when I entered it. and a glance at the couch told me that Junior's little figure no longer lay upon it. I ran up the stairs to my mother in-law's loom, and found her tuck ing the still sleeping child into her lied. Katherine was standing by with professional immobility, but I, who knfw her so mell, distinctly sensed antagonistic disapproval In her lips, more tightly closed than usual. “There! I think he will be all right now:'' Mother Graham said, straight lining herself after drawing an extra blanket over, the sleeping child’s shoulders. Khe cast a practiced eye over the bed and moved a screen which stood at i's foot. "He won't get any draft now," she said with satisfaction. “I'll raise the window a trifle when I get into bed, or—I don’t know, it's fcretty windy— there'll !«■ enough air coming through the cracks. Come away now and let him sleep. We’ll go Into your room, Margaret." I led the way with my mind filled witli forebodings. My little lad had not been undressed, and he was so warmly wrapped that I was sure he would kitli off his bed coverings before morning and get thoroughly chilled. Under the circumstances, I was just as glad that my mother in-law did not Intend to open her window, even though I am what The Fourth Necessity of Lite THE spirit of the University School of Music, the atmos phere is one of complete friend liness, cordiality and the willing ness to help to the utmost each and every hard working student.

Madge Tells Her Story. Mother Graham had been burdened with the care of the child ever since 1 had gone to the apartment In the (dty on account of Dicky. I could not dispute her dictum concerning him, especially as I wae to go back to the city bo soon. But my heart felt the eternal struggle between the wel fare of my huaband and that of my child, which is the lot of *o many women. “I am not responsible for my hus band’s !c[pg in the world,” I s.ald rehelllously to myself, as I entered my room and switched on the light, •’but I am for my l>aby, and I ought to be here with him.’’ But I let no trace of my feelings appear upon my face as I drew chairs forward for my motherin law and Katherine. If l could not take my baby from the grandmotherly care which 1 felt to be mistaken. there was no shadow of use In being anything but acquiescently cheerful over the arrangement. To be sure that she should glean no suspicion of my real feeling, I plunged at one* into an account of my last visit to the house across the road. I omitted nothing save my discov ery that my next-door neighbor in til.- New York apartment was a half sister of the man who had been taken*^ to jail that day.
