now Can She Win His Love By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Dear Miss Fairfax: I hari been going about with a young man for a year and a half when we drifted -apart for no reason at all. I met a young man the same time who has professed his love for me time and ^rgaln and wants to present me with an engagement ringf next month. Now, Miss Fairfax. I care for the latter man, but love the former dearly and can’t get him out of my mind. I have been speaking to this first young man for the past few weeks again, but he doesn't seem to care for me any more. Is there any way by which I could get Him to care. ANXIOUS. With a little patience and tact you may be able to witr his affections. Don't let him see that you are too interested. Tf he has ceased to care for you then there is nothing to do but make up your mind to forget him. Do not pledge yourself to the second young man while there is the slightest doubt in your mind about the first love. It nrust be disposed of before you can accept a real love in your life.

Drug etore* •sell nil color*. | s^jk-sssgsjjjjiissj^^ When in Omaha Stop at Hotel Rome The Reason Madge Felt She Must Ask Mrs. Marks One Direct Question. Why it is that women name a “minute" as the length of any stated conversation and then proceed to talk ten, at least, is one of the mysteries of femininity. That Mollie Fassett. the girl with the New England name and the Southern European type of beauty, whom I had met in Mrs. Marks' apartment, was no exception ' lo the general rule of woman kind, was made plain to me when, a quar ter of an hour after I had left the two^women together that they might talk undisturbed, I heard their foot steps in the hall.'the closing of the - outer door ami a tapping upon my own. N "I'm awfully shamed to have kept you waiting this way,” Mrs. Marks said contritely as I opened the door. but poor Mollie is in a peck of trou ble, and she just had to tell me about it before she went back again. She wanted me to apologize to you. She knew you slipVed away on purpose to let us talk, ahd she felt awful bad when she found\ out how long we'd been.” • "You Said a Mouthful!” "No apology is needed.” I assured her and seized ypon the topic which 1 guessed would banish most quickly the troubled look upon her face, be traying the prickings of her social conscience. “What a rarely beautiful girl your friend is!” I said with a stress I did not have to forcei “You said a mouthful then!’’ Mrs. Marks replied with equal enthusiasm. “I thought she'd hit you cold. I.ook out that handsome hub of yours don“t think the same way when ha spies her.” ' “I stiffened with distate at her familiarity, but an honest glimpse of my own heart made me realize that my displeasure was tinged with a vague, jealous fear of a soupcon of truth in her insouciant warning. I knew, who better, remembering cer tain episodes of Dicky's life, how susceptible the artist soul of my Peter Pan was to feminine beauty, and the exquisite loveliness of Mollie Fassett. with its extreme youthful ncss, and its sweet, wholesome wom anliness, was most alluring. "I am sure he would admire her beauty very much," I managed to say at last with at! effort of casual ness, realizing that there was no more use tryin to subdue Mrs. Marks' flamboyance with a show of dignity than In using the same tactics upon an uncouth gambling puppy. Mrs. Marks Is Wistful. “I'll tell the world he’d be a queer man if he wouldn’t!! she retorted. "But come on into my apartment and get your tea. I poured the hot water on just now, and It ought to be just right." “I echoed her verdict, when, after following her again down the hall, I drank the surprisingly good tea she. had made, and ate some appetizing little cakes from the corner bakery. "One thing I can’t do is to bake anything.” my hostess remarked, and there was a wistful little note in her voice. "My mother always kept me at the washing and ironing and scrubbing when I got big enough to do it, hut she never would let me help her with the cooking. She gvas a good cook, too, but she said It made hef crazy to have me messing around. I s’pose It did, but I wish sometimes she could have bothered with me. All I know how to do Is to fuss up a stew and fry a pork chop and some potatoes." The vision of the Marks dally cuisine rose disturbingly before me, but I managed a complimentary little smile. “You forget your tea,” I said. "Anyone who can make a really good cup of tea is unusual." "That's because I have a little Irish blood in me," she rejoiced with a laugh. “They all make good tea. I wish I yas all that breed." I shot a startled little glance at her. Her words recalled to memory the fact that I had seen her photo graph. or that of some one mar velpusly like her, upon the wall of the house across the road from our farm home. That she really was a near relative of that dirty, ignorant, sordid family, appeared Impossible, but I saw In her face a strong re semblance to that of the girl, Mamie, and prompted not only by curiousity. but by a desire to add to the mental card index 1 already had filed con cerning my neighbor, I resolved to test the theory I had evolved. “Do you know I am sure I saw your photograph when I was out at my home last week. Have you relatives In the east end of Dong Island?” The Haslcys Here. Mr. and Mrs. Morey V. Porter en tertained formally at dinner at the llrandeis restaurants Monday for Mr. and Mrs. J. J.
