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.

“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

the apartment to be made Into two.
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.
