-MI ° IDMTOES Should She Marry Without Love? By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Dear Miss Fairfax: About two . yeats ago I became acquainted with , a young man and have learned to love him. When my parents first . met him they disliked him because he was not as well educated as I. He has not had much time until lately to better himself and he is trying to save enough money to go into business for himself. He has asked me to marry hint, but wants me to wait for two years until he is in a position to support a wife. |J Now there is another young man * of whom my parents approve be , cause he is a college man and earns ^ a good salary. He, *oo, has asked s me to marry him, but, Miss Fairfax, I 1 do not love him and know that I * never can. The first young man ob I jects to me going with the latter. J Won't you please advise me as to what I should do? EMILY. ,{ If you love the first young man ;J.i and believe in him I think you should give him a chance to make ■ {; good. On the other hand, If he loves * you and believes In you he ought to 4' put your love to the test of goin'g "J out with other men. Your parents * shouldn't force you Into a marriage J! where there is no love. No doubt they have your interest at heart, but jt: if you do not care for the young * man you could not he very happy. * Take your parents into your con.i < dence and ask them to stand by wivle J you give the man you love his i chance.

Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love” What Has Mrs. Marks to Hide from Madge? □ FURTIVE knock upon the door roused me from the trou-l bled reverie into which the startled look upon Dicky's face at my bantering words had plunged me. 1 knew, of course, that Mrs. Mark* was outside, and it was with posi tive relief that I opened the door to her. I felt that her naive breeziness was just the tonic I most needed. Be sides 1 had had no opportunity to thank her for the signal favor she had done me, and any obligation al ways sits heavily upon my shoulders. 'Is he gone?” Mrs. Marks whis pered. At my affirmative ngd her featuies relaxed into a comfortable grin. ' I wasn't quite sure,” she said. S'I heard this door shut, and I glued my lamps to the crack in the big window above the stairs, hut that hub of yours must be as quick as a cat. for I didn’t catch but Just a glimpse of his coat tails, and I didn't know whether it was him or not. But when I didn't hear him talking no more. I was pretty sure he was gone, so I thought I’d sneak over and find out. Did the ofothes suit his royal high ness?” There was a note in her voice whjch betrayed the hurt which had been hers when she had overheard Dicky’s strictures upon the appear ance of his evening clothes after she had pressed them, and I hastened to repeat the laudatory comment Dicky had given them. A Neighborly Invitation. 1 ’’That’s all right then.” Her tone was as relieved as the slump which her figure made into the chair I hospitably indicated. "I ought to have known Nthat a swell like your hub wouldn't want those fancy creases that's the rooster’s crow with I’etey, but I've got so used to doing things Petey's way that I never thought nothing more about it. But if your hubby's satisfied, why wa finished first, after all.” ”If she says 'hub' or ‘hubby’ again, I shall scream." I said to myseH ap prehensively, but her vola^Ie mind had already Jumped to something else. "I came in to ask you to have a cup of tea with me,” she said. "Petey'* gone for the evening and I'm going to iron and clean house. But I al ways have a cup to start in any work on, and I know you haven't had time to get you anything to eat yet, »o I thought you might relish a taste of tea.” Now the last thing in the world I normally would have thought of do ing was to take tea with Mrs. Petey Marks, of whose status and antece dents I was exceedingly doubtful. But in the face of the great favor she had done me, it would be most un gracious, I felt, to refuse her. I must confess, also, that the lure of the bizarre and the unexpected, always a temptation to me, was in her personality and her conversation, so that the acceptance I promptly gave her was not wholly altruistic. I resolutely put behind me the vision of Dicky’s face should he unexpect edly return and find me lun -hing a deux with the neighbor he so cor dially disliked. “Como In and See.” “You are very kind,” I assured her gratefully, "and if you're sure it will not inconvenience you, 1 shall be glad Indeed to accept your Invitation.” She stared at me frankly, while an infectious smile qulnked the corners of her mouth. "Gee, but you're a word sllnger!" she said. Although there was no rudeness in her voice—admiration instead—I felt the color rush Into my cheeks, adn I instantly resolved to eschew any words over two syllables while talking with her. "It must be great to have an education,'’ her tone was pathetic ally wistful. "They never learned me enough in school to put in a oat’s eye, but I’ve picked up a lot Hince I left”—this with a note of naive pride—“I'm awful quick that way, if I do say It. Come along with me now. The kettle must be boiled by this time. I do hate tea unless the water ts freshly boiled, don’t you?” Her voice and words were a credit able imitation of the average idea of a "society woman.” I forced back a smile as I gravely assented to her question; and followed her down the narrow hail with a lively anticipation of what I should find In the apartment adjoining my own. It was a most commonplace setting, however, which'met my eyes, when Mrs Marks swung open her door. The room into which she ushered me evidently had been the dining room of the original apartment before thrift and the housing situation had caused = j - The Nebraska's Greatest Value - Giving Demonstration i / \ A Wonderful Feature Selling of Standard Quality, Smartly Styled Emphasizing the Powerful Buying Ability of this Great Organization For months we’ve planned to present an un paralleled overcoat offer at the opening of the Fall and Winter season of 1023—the overcoats are here today—thousands of them—beautiful styles and fabrics — it’s your opportunity.

The Inevitable hanging electric light from the center of the ceiling, the built-in sideboard, the plate rail, all shrieked it before Mrs. Marks spoke. “Ain't it fierce," she queried, “callin' this a llvln’-room, when it was in tended for dining room? But my bed room’s pretty. Come in and see it.” I followed her into a small room adjoning. She had no sooner crossed the threshold, however, than with a suppressed exclamation, she dashed forward and closed a closet door, but not before I had seen that it was crowded full of gorgeous fur cloaks.
