Beatrice Fairfax PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEX. A Conservative Admirer. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 30 and for the past year and a half have been going out several times a week with a man of 40, whom I have known for some years and have always found to be of fine principles. While he has been most attentive, there has never been any understanding be tween us. I now find myself growing fond of this man and believe ihe feel ing is reciprocated. However. In the absence of any definite declaration of affection, I am beginning to wonder if it Is not a somewhat unusual sit uation. Is it not customary for a man to request permission to call on a lady on set evenings, If sueh is his Intention, and to express his affection when It exists? J. V. There are no set rules for friend ship—nor yet for love. Individuality expresses itself In so many ways, that no one can insist on custom in the development of on Interest between a man and a woman. Possibly this man finds you an interesting com panion—no more. Perhaps he is not yet convinced that you and he are really mated. A man of his age would proceed conservatively, no doubt, and not rush Into a declaration merely because he felt attracted to a woman. His atten tion shows his Interest. Whether there Is a growing devotion back of It Is a thing for you to judge sanely. If you really care for him, try to give him so much of understanding, so much of kindly consideration that you will become necessary to him. Masculine huniun nnture being what It is, If you force the Issue you may not force It to the ponclusion you want. But the more charming you are, the more necessary you become, the greater the likelihood that you will win the devotion you want. Real love Is likely to beget love In return. Lark of Faith. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 20 and have been going about with a man who is 24 for nearly two years. Some lime ago he gave me a ring and said it was an engagement ring. But 1 don't know whether to take it as that or not, as he keeps writing to another girl. I asked him to stop and he says there is no harm In friendship let ters. Now, I gave up my friends for him. When we are at a public gath ering he always tries to Bpeak to other girls. I can't give him up and I don’t know how I could make him understand. Could you give me ad vice? ROSE. True love casts out fear—and jeal otisy. Perhaps if you showed more faith In this man and didn’t nag at him when he happens to show a lit tle friendly Interest In another girl, he would of his own accord make an effort to avoid hurting your feelings. Sensitiveness 1r generally self-love. Have more faith In loyalty and In your own power to command a real love, and you won't «ee ao maany flaws In the love that Is offered you. An engagement ring la a token of good faith and devotion, ao don't seek barriers to the happiness that is yours if you don't repel it. Dimples: Your young farmer la certainly not too old to be a good friend, and you are far too young to be seriously In love with any one Just yet. You say It is hard to find de cent hoys nowadays. If girls are de cent it is not hard to find decent boys. Wait at least two years longer. Comings and Goings of _People Yon Know_ Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Flynn re turned Sunday from New York.

Main St., Council Bluffs, Iowa Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love” The "Deal” Madge Made With the Janitor’s Wife. At my proposal to rent the gas stove of my janitor's wife for the preparation of a dinner, Mrs. Schwartz's faded eyes looked quickly, possessively at her gleaming stove, while Into them sprang a dreading protective look. It was almoet the glance a fearful mother gives her child when send ing it away from her for the first time. I have seen enough of the effect of loneliness on a certain type of femi ninity to know that in Mrs. Schwartz's case, the term "household gods" as applied to furnishings was not a misnomer. She had indeed deified her homely possession, and paid them the worship of constant care. Her children, long since mar ried and gone, the friends of her younger days separated from her by many leagues, she had no other in terests than her husband and her be longings. “Vat Do You Y'ant to Bake?” Her eyes came back from her stove and rested on me speculative ly. Was I careless? Would I scratch the nickel, or do other dam rge? The questions were as clear to me as if she had spoken them. "I will be very, very careful,” I pleaded. “I never saw so nicely-kept a stove, but I am sure I will not hurt it.” ' Oh, I am not worrying about that!” she said with the quick dis simulation of her type. "I was just wondering how much I could help >ou if I kept sitting down. Your hands don't look used to work.” “But they are,” I protested quick ly. I don’t mean that I do house work all the time, for I have a maid at home. But here In the city I am doing all my own cooking. However, I do take very good care of my hands. But you must not try to help me; unless you could keep an eye on the oven after the things are In, for fear I might be a few minutes late in coming down to see to them. That is all, however. I will prepare all the things up in my kitchen, and bring them down hers ready to pop into the oven. You haven't told me yet how much I am to pay you." "You will pay me nothings,” she I sum liiimy, umy mnusi > a i hip comes to. I have dot over all figured out to a penny, vot It costs an hour. Und dot Isa all I vant. For the rest, you are very weclnme. Und you need noi run down here to vatc-h your tings. I can do nothings else today, but sit here, and I can vatch your stuff. It will give me some tings to do.” That—In Dicky's slangy parlance— she was "sold” on the proposition to rent her gas stove, was plainly to be seen, and I experienced an absurd little triumphant thrill at my victory “Vat do you vant to bake?" she asked. “Pies? A roast? Have you pans up there?” An Instant Decision. “No. I haven't.” I confessed, an swering the last question first. "And I haven't decided yes just what I am going to have for dinner. I must see what the markets have first. But I know I shall need an oven. I can buy what pans I need, however.” "But that Is unnecessary,” she pro tested, horror of waste echoing In her voice. "You have all those already at home, I am sure, and I have them all here, and vou are welcome to use them.” "You are too kind," I expostulated, and indeed I was touched at her re sponse to my request, for I could see a pathetic enthusiasm in my project reflected in her face. That she was already dramatizing it, enjoying it as another woman might a play, I could Ree, and I finished my sentence in dif ferent words than I had planned. "And I shall be very glad to use your pans." I said. "Now I want your adylee. Where is the best place to get fresh roasting chickens?” For I had remembered suddenly that Dr. Edwin Braithwaite had once praised a roast chicken dinner of mine most unctuously, and had eaten of it with enthusiasm. His wife had been less effusive, but she plainly had enjoyed the dinner, while Lillian and Marlon—how well I remembered that In their love for chicken, she and her daughter outrival the plantation dark ies of the south. Roast chicken would1 he the chief dish of my dinner, I de cided that upon the instant, and wait- I ed eagerly for Mrs. Schwartzs reply. "There Is but one place anywhere ' around.” she said with decision, “and that is six blm ks away. But you be sure of them there I never get them l anywhere else.” She gave me careful directions for i reaching the place, .and I memorized i them. 'T will go there as soon as I have looked at the apartment with Mr Schwartz." I said, and as If the words had been a summons, the rubicund face of the Janitor appeared in the doorway. Club to Sp o n s o r Extension Courses The education committee and de partment of the Omaha Woman's club. Mrs. F H. Cole, chairman, have arranged for two extension courses with W.
