drive will remain in the Omaha chap
ter's treasury. If Douglas county

ha will have $50,000 to carry on the

quota was $210,000, and Omaha went
over the top with $238,000. ,
News from the counties in the state

Advice to
the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Marrying Soldier.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am .
constant reader of your splendid column, and ,
have been watching for some one to ask
advice concerning my situation, but have
failed to do so. V
I am a young girl IT years old, will be
IS In August. I am deeply in love with '
a young man tl years old, who is in the
draft and has been notified about his notice
June 10. "
Do you think It would be correct for us
to marry before then, as we have things
all planned, or wait until we are more cer
tain about the war.
My father objects to me going with any
one, and is only for himself. He never
takes us anywhere, only where he wants to
go, and that's mostly to a card game, and
only old people are there. He never allows
any young company here at all, boys or girls,
and If they do come, about 9 o'clock he sends
me to bed.
My brother, who Is only 2S, claims he -cannot
stand it any longer and is going to
enlist right away.
My mother approves of It and thinks thie
young gentleman is worthy of me. He is
a mechanic. U we ao not marry Deiore
he leaves, do you think It la proper for me
to wear a band ring until he returns?
I am not allowed to go anywhere with
him unless I give them the slip, and then
I am treated terrible and beaten. This
young gentleman la an ideal gentleman and
Is thought a lot of.
We own a car and I can drive, but dad
won't let me. I can drive my uncle's car,
and I always drive my friends.
I am a blonde, Blue eyes, iignc Drown
hlr. fair complexion and only weigh 123
pounds, but am well built and real short.
What way oo you imnit wouia do mc mr
me to wear my hair; It is real long and
thick. I have been wearing It with two
dips on my forehead, with a large roll at
the back of my head, real low, but I have
so much It is uncomfortable.
Trusting you will not think my ques
tions unable to answer. Thanking you In
advance, I remain.
SOMEBODY'S DARLING.
p. g Please print this In the paper, also
answer through the dally not the Sunday.
You are facing a problem that is a very
hard one to decide. Your position is in
deed difficult, especially as your parenta
are not agreed on the subject of your mar
riage. None can decide this question but
yourself, but you muit weigh the matter
on all sides. You are very young and your
whole life is before you. Are you sura
that your love for this young man will last
through the long months that you will ba
separated T Have you any way of support
ing yourself and your husband it he comes
back crippled? Your mother Is the one to
consult tn this case, for you may be sura
that she will think only of your good.
I would not wear a band ring until tha
ceremony waa performed and I would ba
very aura that it was the man and not the
glamor of a uniform and a war wedding
that attracted me. '
Sending Gifts.
Dear alias Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I would
Ilka your advice In a matter that
cause a great deal of suffering on my
part. I am a married woman with one
little girl barely a year old. My husband
and I have had nearly three years of per
fect happiness and I have a friend who la
a eoldler In FTanee. Now my usband gives
me money to send this friend things with
and says I can writ to him whenever I
want to as he doesn't care. But my folks
have talked rather mean to me because I
have written to him and sent him tobacco.
D you think it would be any harm to con
tinue to do this Although my folks kick
about it, aa long aa my husband doesn't
caraT It make it rather hard for me to
go home on a visit and have them always
scolding at me. Please answer thle in the
Morning Omaha Bee. Thanking you In ad
vane for your advice, I remain,
MRS. J. C. i
Aa this soldier la a friend of both youi
husband and yourself I can aee no reaaon
why yon ahould not aend him a few thing
to make him more comfortable. Your hus
band la evidently a sensible man who be
Uve In helping our soldiers In every way
that be can. In (ending gifts or letter to
th friend who is over-sess I would ign
both my husband'a name and my own If I
felt that anyone was criticising.
Beturned Photo.
Dear MUs Fairfax. Omaha Pee: I am
16. While ay visiting I met a young mn
of It We fell in love with each other, and
he gav me hie photo. As I don't corre
spond with him. but with his sister, should
I send the photo with his sister's letter or
send it to him with a friendly letter?
Thanking you In advance.
It you wish to return the photograph I
wou'd aend it te the young man with a
friendly note. Sixteen is very young for
lov affairs, but I hardly think from what
you tell me that thi on Is very serious.
