Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Are You Honest With Her?
Dear Miss Fairfax I am 21 yean old
and la lova with a girl of IT Tears, who
Uvea In another city with her sister, have
. made several visits to see her la the laat
few months. Recently I asked her to come
here to be married, but so far she has
refused to do so. Do you think I am doing;
right, as her sister knows nothing- of this
and I may be called to the army almost
any time? At present I am employed by
a good firm and. making 25 a week.

Evidently, when it was just a question
of courting and you wanted to go see tnis
girl, you were able to do so. Now why,
when you want her to marry you, do you
ask her to come to youT If you want a
little 17-year-old girl to be your bride, to
share your 125 a week and to face the
responsibilities of marriage with you, you
certainly ewo it to her to so arrange your
marriage (hat It will not antagonize her
sister. This is doubly true because jrou are

from your young wife. Search your heart
why have yn- not told her alster T There
!s some meaning to your secrecy some
meaning in your asking this girl to run
away and come to you. Perhaps your
motlvea are -not deliberately dishonorable;
but don't you see that they look dishonor

you ask. "
Sugar Is Food.
Sugar is a valuable food, a powerful stim
ulant, and a great producer of heat and
nerve force.
Arctlo"explorers, and other persons who
have to do ..very hard work under ex
tremely trying climatic conditions, invaria
bly develop an intense craving for sugar,
and eat enormous quantities of it.
The Klondyke miners even sweeten their
salt pork with it, and it has been found
that those who eat large quantities of sweets
do twice the work of men who let sugar
alone. -
The Italian Alpinl soldiers, who are called
upon to march and fight at high altitudes,
carry , liberal supply of sugar in their
kits whenever possible. Negroes in the har
vest fields grow fat on sugar cane, al
though their diet In other respects is neither
varied nor abundant.
Don't!
Deaf Miss Fairfax: About a year ago a
young, man, whom I have known all my
life, asked me to go with him for a car
riage ride. After that he asked me to go with
him every Sunday and sometimes in the
evenings. When I didn't want to go he just
insisted and said I had a standing order
for every Sunday. He always seemed very
proud to be with me. This kept up for three
months, until the death of his father. After
that he never came to see me again and
made no excuse. When he meets me he
smiles and passes on. Several times he has
tried to avoid doing even that. Recently
I heard from a friend of mine, who knows
him, that he is taking out every evening
another young woman. I haven't spoken a
word to him, but have been greeting him
' cordially. But now I intend to cut him,
because he is a cad and I don't want him
to think I am running after him. H. E. B.
Don't cut this man. That is laying too
much stress on the whole situation. If he
Is Indeed the cad you think htm, don't give
him the satisfaction of realizing that any
thing he can do matters very much to you.
If there is a possible explanation, why cut
yourself off from it by denying the acquaint
ance?; He can't possibly think you are
running after him if you just bow to him
with quiet and indifferent dignity. That
Is the way of good taste take It,
politeness Is your cue.
Cold
You Must "Discuss" It.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Am engaged to ' a
man, 23. His Intentions were and are that we
marry by summer. I wonder how we can.
He has no saving, and still gives his entire
salary to his father. His father is in
business for years, and they have a very
nice home. I love him and respect him very
much, and for that reason have not dis
cussed the question with him. Once in the
:ourse of conversation he told me he want
Jd to be good to his parents, and they are
In need now. H. D.
My dear, dear girl, there is only one
thing for you to do. Tou must discuss it
with the young man. Talking over the
iltuation with me can't do anybody a bit of
good, Tou must find out how long his
parent will need his support, whether they
ere in actual need now, if they are going to
require his help after your marriage. The
cnly policy for two young people about to
nter upon matrimony to adopt In regard
to their finances is complete honesty. Talk
over the situation, and find out just where
you stand. Don't let false delicacy about
money matters wreck your happiness.
Frankness and honesty will save the day
for you.
A Contemptible Attitude.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am engaged. My
fiance Is one of the cleanest cut fellows I
have ever met. He is also successful. For
this I greatly admire and respect him. But,
; Miss Fairfax, there Is one thing that greatly
annoys me. My fiance is not tall, and I
do admire tall men. I have been engaged
about a year and as the time draws near to
my marriage I wonder If I will regret It,
feeling as I do. I am considered beautiful,
am about S Teet 4 Inches, and my fiance
is 5 feet 7 Inches. My brother is very tall,
and when I am with him I feel that pro
tection I do not feel with my fiance. At
limes I love him devotedly and other times,
just -for this reason, I seem to feel that
I cannot marry him. PERPLEXED.
Our fiance's stature may not be gigantic,
but your heartland mind are hopelessly
dwarfed! Do you seriously think that you
have a problem? Of course, you have one,
but you do not recognize what it is. It has
nothing to do with your fiance's being (
feet T Instead of the magnlflent six-footer
a weak, foolish, sentimental and ignorant
creature like you fancies she would enjoy
leading on.
When I ead a letter like your I am sway
ed at once by three feelings. How under
the sun do such women ever fool men into
' marrying them at all ? What do the men
who are? "not tall enough" think of their
wives' dwarf-minds and what under the sun
' is to become of the human race if such
. mentally stunted women have any part and
parcel In it? It is beneath my dignity to try
to explain to you that the best thing that
could happen to the man who fancies he
loves you is to lose the selfish little simple
ton who can worry over a problem like this,
Don t worry you won t break any man's
heart. -Tou have not eyes to see or a mind
to understapd that the biggest finest and
most worthwhile man may have a soul
housed in a body five feet tall; not five
feet seven, nor yet six feet
Second Marriage.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have
seen your wonderful advice for others and
: have come with some of my own.
I am in love with a man whom I lore
more than my life, and I know my love is
returned. 4 But we have a bond between ns
1 1 am afraid will keep us apart, he Is but
,38 years of age, he was married to a girl
' a year older than himself who proved un-
i true to him. She was intimate with other
i men and deserted him when he was at
"the point of death and she ran away with
a Jew, leaving her baby and him there
1 atuiie. '
. He wasn't the only one who told me this,
In fact ha never told me until others told
me. X love this1 man dearly and I know I
could never love another like him. We
broke up over this, but find we cannot live
v without each other. We both go ont and
T are both liked and respected, we are ln
Tvited to all the little social parties.
I also love his child who Is 3 years old,
and the baby loves me. WhenI had blood
poison and was given up for dead, his bady
face came before me. I feel as if God could
not deny me from Heaven by giving this
hp by a home aad a mother's love. We both
love the baby.. Do you think I would be
doing wrong By marrying hira or do you
think three Uvea should be made unhappy,
Just from the fault of another, or should we
alize the greatness of our love and marry,
S could never lovs another, tor I have tried J
giving him up. My people and eveyone think
an awful lot of him, but that U the only
bend. Don t put this in print. I remain
BLUE EYES.
If the first wife has no longer any claim
on the man or the child, I can see no
reason why you cannot marry.
What Attracts Men? , s
Dear Miss Fairfax: What Is it that at
tracts young men to an unattractive, foolish
glrlT We are two attractive girls, refined
and intelligent We go out, meet young
men, but that is as far as It goes. The
men all flock tor the other girl mentioned
above, and seem to find her more interest'
ing. How can we make ourselves popular
and more Interesting without being too for
ward? TWO LONESOME GIRLS.
Does It occur to you that you may be a
little jealous? Is It not possible that the
girl you call "unattractive, foolish and com
mon" is in reality sympathetic, amusing and
free from affectation? Perhaps you two
are a little sarcastic a little too exacting.
It I am wrong in this suggestion, then w
will have to fall back on the unfortunate
tfruth that men often do find the cheap,
ulgar, noisy type of girl appealing and
that this has been a world-wide puzzle to
fine girls. Fart of the reason for this is
that underneath all human nature there la
another basis. We were just unreasoning,
instinctive animals once. We developed our
minds and our Ideals with the growth of
the race. And It Is the animal In man that
is lured by the cheap little animal woman
finer women resent But these same fine
women see only the bad qualities in the
girl they criticise and shut their eyes to
the warm, kindly friendliness that some
times lies beneath a coat of paint and con
spicuous clothes!
Don't shut out from your own minds all
appreciation of the fact that the girls you
criticise may have good points. Perhaps
you could emulate those and teach the loud
talking, cheap looking girl to copy your re
finement. Sooner or later the fine type of
boy or man are going to weary of tinsel and
glitter and like sterling qualities; then the
girl who is actually common must lose and
the fine, dainty girl comes into her own
but not if she has grown bitter and sour
andvindlcUve and Jealous in waiting for
her day to dawn.
Hard to Decide.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a widower, age
33 years, and have a boy and two girls,
ages 6, 8 and 10, respectively. I have be
come very much Infatuated with a sweet
and attractive girl, age 17 years, who ap
pears to be In love with me. I have laid
bare to her my entire family history, but
in spite of my children and my age she
persists. Do you believe her love merely
a youthful fantasy or do you believe it will
be stable and lasting love If marriage should
result. Second, do you believe that the dif
ference In ages would act as a barrier to a
happy marriage? C. J. R.
Of course, I who have seen neither you
nor the girl can give only a general judg
ment as to her real feelings. My Impres
sion is that when a 17-year-old gfrl cares
for any man, It is likely to be an emotional,
unbalanced and rather untrustworthy af
fair. Then when you add that the object
of the girl's affections Is twice her age and
has a child only seven year younger than
the child who thinks she loves him It all
looks as if the lasting quality of the girl's
affection ought not be counted on too much.
It isn't the differences in ages that militates
against the happiness of such a marriage
it is the difference in experience! Tou are
a mature man who has known youth and
love and marriage and fatherhood with its
responsibilities. She is a light-hearted child
to whom love Is a fanciful creation of
dreams. Is It fair to trade on her emo
tions? Is it fair to give your children a
mother so young? Can she understand your
ambitions and share your enjoyments? Will
you find pleasure in the things she does?
Are there things that you can talk about
together are you congenial or must you
rely on love making or stimulation of some
sort to keep you contented with each other'
and happy together?
Soldier's Addresses.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a
constant reader of The Omaha Dally Bee
and read your advice to others, so I also
come to you for some. I have a very dear
friend who is somewhere in a training
camp, training to help Uncle Sam. Since
he has gone I have never been able to find
out where he is and what his address is
and would like you to tell me how I can
find out as I would like very much to
write to him. I also would like to know
how old a girl has to be before she can take
a homestead and where could I get Infor
mation regarding this matter.
Thanking you in advance. BLUE EYES.
You can probably find your friend's ad
dress from the recruiting office in the
town where the soldier enlisted, or from
the War department in Washington.
Tou must be 21 years old before you can
take a homestead and you can get infor
mation at the land office In the county or
district where you wish to locate.
A Soldier's Address.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Will
you please tell me where I can get the
names and addresses of some soldier boys.
Please answer in The Bee. LONESOME.
The T. M. C. A. recreation director at
any cantonment camp will give you the
names and addresses of soldiers.

Women Nurses in Navy
The nursing corps of the navy now
has five and a half times as many
nurses is it had at the outbreak of
the war. Before the war there were
165 and now there are 916 nurses
employed by the navy in various ca
pacities. The entire direction of the
corps is in the hands of Mrs. Lenah
Higbee, superintendent of the United
States navy nursing corps.
"The nursing corps," says Mrs.
Higbee, "has three classes of nurses
