it was that museum heads and art in
structors met with the manufacturers
to meet the lack and classes in deco

tiles and other art products, and art
lectures were multiplied.
Mrs. Perkins also pointed out other
activities of war times that had in
creased the demands for artists -.and
revealed their importance to the well
being of their countries. Posters were
needed in appealing for enlistments,
to increase food production and con
servation, and to push the sale of Lib
erty bonds. . . Artists with expert
knowledge of coloration, analysis of
light and color vibration were needed
for camouflage work. .
In addition exhibits of collections
of foreign war posters with their uni
versal appeal were brought to Amer

raised for Red Cross work, and -vari

Dear Mlsi Fairfax, Omaha Bee- I am
constant reader of The Bee and aeelnf your
advice to othiis, would you kindly answer
the following question. Is It proper for a
young man to accompany a young lady
home whom he has not taken ta any
place of entertainment T What gifts could I
send to a so.dler friend f A gentleman
friend has aakc me to visit him. Be la on
a vacation In a large town. My parents
do not object In some ways and other ways
they do. They have asked me to write

wouLd like to know of a new way.
I am a girl of 16 and have had young
company ever alnce 1 was 13. I get tired
of always entertaining and going out as
my parents want me to do. They tell me
If I have a chance to marry not to let It
slip by. They are continually Inviting young
men for whom I do not care, and not those
I want. I am so tired of this life I really
can't treat thoae young people right when
they come. My parenta want me to get
married as soon as possible. Perhaps when
they sea your advice they will profit by It.
Thanking yri In advance, I remain
BROKEN HEARTED.
I see no reason why a young gentleman
should not accompany a girl home from a
place of entertainment. Very often the
girls come aluce and then the hostess ar
ranges for thiii escort home. Tour gift to
your soldier friend should be governed by
the extent of your acquaintance, I think
Of course, ws always think of a wrist watch
for a soldier. but If he was merely a filenJ

Dear Mis Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I and my
twin alater are II years old and we are
senior In high school. W are very great
chum, a I think w should be, but some
how i Just don't feel that I can confide
my secret in her nor In anyone else, and
I feel a though I must ask some advice
from some one. I have been keeping com
pany with a young man very nearly my
age for two year and a year ago w be
came secretly an gaged. Of course, w have
no intention of marrying until w have
both finished university and Mauric can
get a good start In business. My parents
have no objection to my going with him,
but a Agne and I are the babies of the
family I'm afraid they would think I am
too young to think of love. What I want
to ask you I thin He want to give tn a
ring now and I have told him not to do It.
Did 1 do th proper thing? Mauric say's
be will ask my parents If I will let' him,
but he thinks It would ba beat ta th
ring ana men ten mem. Do you think It
would be best to keen our nrrmnl
secret for another yearT Sometimes I feel
as tnougn l win lust have to tell Ann
Is ther any real harm In our kissing each
oinerr is it proper for me to allow him
to put hi arm around m when riding with
other, boys and girl who do aoT Agnes
and I have aaked mother many questions
about such things, but she will not answer
us satisfactorily, and w sometimes feel
quite lost. - I know most boys and girls are
more or less sort, and I can't see any harm
In It If they don't go too far. I never al
lowed Mauric to kiss me before our en
gagement Do you suppose my parent x
pect me to sit with my hands folded and
not allow any privilege at all, : a long as
w have gone together T Please do not put
the' name of the city from wher I m
writing mi in tn paper. I am van trou
bled to know what to do. . Pleas answer
this In Th Dally Be, a w do not take
the; Sunday. . 1 ' u ANNA.
At your wedding dat 1 so very indefi
nite I hardly think I would take th ring
until I had talked the matter over with
my parent. I would let th young man
tall them at he wishes to do, for I Ilk hi
attitude In th matter., He Is evidently a
conscientious fellow, who will make a good
husband for you. I wouldn't Indulge' In too
muck kissing, but, of course, this Is per
missible for young poopl who are to be
married.
He Is Unworthy. 1
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee; As I am
In a rather difficult situation and saw the
advice you are giving to- Lovalorm, so de.
elded to write to you. Please give the
advice In The Dally Bee. I was engaged
to be married and when it came to setting
the date my fiance said be wanted to be
married in th spring or not at all. He
was giving me only three weeks to get ready
In and I wanted to wait until tall, o this
caused us to break up. Was he fair la his
actions T I love thl man dearly and can
not forget him. 1 triad to make up with
him and he says that I broke his heart and
that he does not love m any more. Now,
do you think that he had any love for me
in the first place f He was awfully kind
to me, but wanted to have hi way about
everything. Now, he I also acouslng me
of talking against hi people, which I never
dreamed of doing. He claims that some
friends gave him this Information. Although
we Were engaged, he never gave m a ring
to seal our engagement Should a ring be
given and what kind I th moat appropri
ate? PERPLEXED.
From what you tell m do not thtnk thl
man worthy of any girl' love. He ha
acted In a very childish manner and I
would forgel him, If possible. I sympathise
with you la your dilemma, but I do not
think he treated you a gentleman should.
It I th girl' privilege to let her wedding
date and he should hav been glad to con.
form with your wishes. A ring Is, not always
given; It depend on th olrcumetancea
Many young couple do not wish to spend to
much money en a rlng( but would rather
put th sum la somsthlng for their horn.
A diamond solitaire la th usual (tone for
aa engagement ring, though a ring of 1
value will serve th tarn purpose.
