Dear Miss Fairfax: We are two high school girls who have bean reading- your column constantly and think that your advice la excellent and now we come to you for help. ' We are not foolish or "boy craiy," but instead are very much Interest ed In our school work, for we real ize the Importance of getting all we can out of high school. We go with our boy friends frequently, but never allow any privileges. One aft ernoon a number of we girls were out on a hike and met a car in which we saw two of our high icnooi leacners wi n two genueman , ab t tn ..pa!nted up aMa , friends Ana tt t ham nrnas a r finer I w r perfectly proper, while the other, I n1 would like to say that if some who was in the back seat had ai- NOTICE. - One of these days I will write a long letter on the subject of rouge and powder and fallen women which will bring my readers nearer together that is, their opinions. But in the mean time I shall print their discus sions, for, after all. Isn't it public opinion that moves the world in this, or that, direction? Your letters on this subject are wel comeand I enjoy them and so do other readers. B. F. lowed her friend to put his arms around her. Now, Miss Fairfax we are sure she is not engaged to him for she goes with a number of the young men in this city. Is this proper? We have always been taught not to allow such actions as this, but on the other hand we have been told to follow the example of our high school ' teachers. What shall we do? We have been reading the discus- of the men would look at their own habits, such as clgaret smoking, they would be better off, although we do not agree that girls should paint : TWO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS. Rover Speaks. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Kindly allow Everett True, the in fant, an opportunity to speak of rouge and paint I am a mechanic, and strange to say one of the kind which cannot be fooled with paint or camouflage. Girls, who are you trying to attract? wouldn't you rather run after rabbit and be natural and not catch it than to rouge and paint and run after a skunk and catch it? In other words why don't you play the role of frankness and purity and be your own sweet selves? At best this paint and rouge is temporary, .la questionable and places many ' a pure sweet girl in the class with the automobile a "runabout". Get away from deceit, girls, be yourself, and let your Prince Charming win you for yourself alone, then you win have no deceptions to continue after the winning's done. Of course no reasonable person would object to the use of powder or other sub stance used upon a chapped or otherwise unnaturally colored face, but you had better leave nature alone. Now to be honest. Including the painted and rouged, the girl is a better girl than the average man is a man. ROVER. Satisfied With Her Looks. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I also have a word to put in the dis cussion. Have very thin, pale lips, as one of your readers wrote. As soon as I saw the paper and read what she said about it, I decided I would try her advice, so I borrowed my sister's lip rouge and, having light eyebrows, she also darkened them, but when my boy friend called he refused to go with me if I did it again. Although I do not believe in criticizing people, I do think that girls should be satisfied with their looks and not try to look better to Who Can Tell How Long Love Will Last Though it Consumes Entirely . By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Sometimes I wonder if too much hasn't been said about constancy. .Constancy to the person one has promised to marry, for instance, is regarded not only as a virtue but as really inseparable from decency and honor. "Breach of promise ' suits" are seriously considered in the courts and jilting is pointed to as an abomination. f , Changing , one's mind or one s heart after one has promised to marry and to love forever is held to be simply one of the things that can't be done. This idea is so general, and so many sharply vigilant eyes are con stantly on the lookout for viola tions of the good old rule of con stancy, that I suspect a good many tender - hearted, self - distrustful young creatures are frightened into marriages that if they felt perfectly free they would unregretfully es :ape from. . My own belief is that constancy as a virtue has had too much em phasis. And I feel a most genuine sympathy with the entirely frank voung writer of such a letter on this subject as recently came to me. "I am 19," the letter reads, "and am engaged to a man three years i my senior. I have known him all 'my life and I think I really did. love him at one time, but I know now that I do not love htm. I have never let him ,see this change, be cause I have been afraid of breaking his heart, as I'm sure he loves me very much. I take no interest whatever in his letters or anything about him. I never even think of Jiim when he is1 not with me. 1 "Now, Miss Fairfax, I think I would be doing him a great wrong were I to marry him with this feel ing in my heart. Still I have not the nerve to tell him. I would be so grateful to you if you could ad vise me what to do." Now this is as far, doubtless, as 19 had the courage to go. A False Position. This young girl has the sincerity and clear-sightedness to perceive that she is in a false position. She has the sense to know that she is headed in a fatally wrong direction wrong for herself and for her lover. All she lacks is the "nerve," as she says, to act on her knowl edge. It is quite easy, of course, to see what she is afraid of. -She is afraid of what people will say. They will call her fickle or cruel. And it will hurt. And being only 19, she won't be entirely sure that people aren't right. And she is afraid of family pres sure. Families are pretty formidable things when they're all agreed upon some one point that a single unruly member dissents from. They have a way of making it extremely un pleasant for the unruly member. And the publicity of a broken en gagement, especially an engage ment with a good, steady young man who had been a lover since childhood, is something, that most families would be pretty certain to oppose. i And finally she is afraid, as she says, of "breaking his heart." Of course she is reluctant to cause the pain that a complete rup ture with her faithful sweetheart is certain to bring him. It isn't easy by any means to watch, an in nocent person suffer and to know one is solely responsible. This is no doubt the hardest part of all. . But while admitting the reality of the difficulties that are in her way, I want to encourage this young girl in what is beyond any doubt her duty to .herself and to her sweetheart. To marry a man who she not only doesn't love but is wholly in-' different to Would be, as she puts it, a great wrong., Nothing justi-' fies marriage but love; And this does not sound like a case where there is any chance of. a tardy love developing. So what is there for her to do but be sincere and courageous and tell her lover the truth? Her family will readjust itself. What friends and neighbors may have to say is really beside the point. And the lover himself, how ever profoundly disappointed he may be, won't die of a broken heart. The hearts of normal, wholesome, steady going young men aren't nearly as brittle as that. Ultimate recovery is pretty certain. I wish that all lovers would realize how simple the matter really is. There's only one reason that justifies two people in marying, namely, that they love each other so much that they cannot be happy apart The Only Reason for Marriage.' Don't marry a man because you have known him all your life or be cause your family think well of him or because he has been kind to you, or because you think he is in EJihJ by IsmaH Gross HOUSEHOLD ARTS VSPT CJCNTJfAZ mGH SCHOOZ Kitchenette CQokery Little Sunday Nignt suppers.' ' One of the easiest and pleasantest ways of entertaining a few friends is at a Sunday night supper. It is always cozy to gather around a table, and Sunday is the day devoted to leisure. In planning a little sup per, it is well to remember that it is apt to be successful if the hostess does much of her preparation ahead of time, leaving herself unflurried and affable at the time of serving. This statement is particularly true of kitchenette cooking, for the kitchenette lends iself best to simple cooking, and only a few dishes at a time. MENU I.

Marry because you've learned what love is and be cause you have substantial reason for believing that the man you're in love with is worthy of1 love. It's the matter of all others that your own heart and your own con science must decide. But because you must decide it alone, you must on that account be all the more careful not to decide it hastily. If you mustn't marry just to be polite or obedient, you must also certainly not marry from wilfulness or per versity. Don't elope at 17 with the youth who made love to you so charm ingly last week, even though he seems to you at present the divinest creature on earth. Wait and con sider. Be very careful not only that you love, but that you love wisely. And under those conditions I think constancy will take care of itself. ' If you make up your mind not to become engaged to a man because he wants you to do so much, or be cause other people want you to, you are not likely to find yourself in that condition of agonized un certainty where anxious onlookers will threaten jyou with the club of constancy. But if you have made the mis take which' so many women make of drifting into a listless compact of love with a man they are half in different to, merely because at -the moment there's no other man in sight have the courage to repair your mistake before it is too late. -Constancy to a man you don't love is a meaningless virtue.

Hor Chum Faints. Emerson, la. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: On this subject of painted dolls, I, myself, have a bru nette's hair and eyes and ft blonde's complexion, and am considered very pretty, but this is not the subject Men do not like the rouge dolls, as I know from experience. My chum paints constantly and she does not take with the men as I do. A little loose powder is all that is needed just to take the shine off the face. But girls that want to be popular always must not be- a rouge doll, but must be natural. A I have been in company .for about two years I know what kind of girl goes in the eyes of men. 60, girls, don't blame the fellows If you use rouge' and powder so freely, because they won't stay long. Hoping to see more on this subject I am. . ' ., . MISS SIXTEEN. - V 50-50 Dear Miss Fairfax! I am an In terested reader of your "Advice to Lovelorn," and would like to say Just a few things about "Should women use rouge or powder?" Haa anybody stopped to think much on the sub ject? I am 22 years old and have been married nearly three years. I should think if women were to have red lips and cheeks nature would furnish them. I myself would rath er have a girl who does not use it Thank goodness I got one. I also have a brother who feels the same as I do. His name is Robert Rouge, to me, looks like a kind of a daring way to make men take more of a fancy to the user. I also- think it is about 60-50 on the men and women criticizing each other. La A. M. Another Side Presented. Miss Fairfax: May I write a few words in regard to Tony's protest. I did not read C. O. A.'s remarks. His remarks were meant for all girls who paint but surely Tony's protest wag in behalf of the girls of the un derworld. And my remarks are meant for them.

A few years later, what do we seer Our Hearts are nuea with pity. Up on the knob of the door bangs a bunch or crepe, what de we see inside 7 Blinds drawn, and in a farther room a casket. What do we hear, hushed footsteps, whis pers, and in another part of the house a baby cryina; for the mother who never again will clasp her darl ing to her heart. And where is the father? The weakling who so soon grew tired of the lovely girl he led to the altar, where nightly he may be seen with the girls with the reddest of hearts. The long night through spent in the wildest of orgies. Yes, indeed, the reddest of hearts dripping with the blood of the innocents. At tentive wives, appreciative mothers. Stop, look, listen! A fallen girl for a mother, a moral weakling tot a father, what would the child of such a union be? I am endeavoring to point out to these girls some of the terrible things they are directly re sponsible for. I do not suppose these girls care or know where all the mer they see nightly go or come from. One thing more girls, remember. Some day you and I shall meet Elm face to face. MRS. V. E. One for Clean Faces. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am Just a, boy of 18. The topic "Should Girls Paint" has caught my eye several times. I don't see why ft girl must paint. Clean thoughts and i clean mind is all she needs to attract ft good boy. Give me the plain girl every time. But if C. O. A. has been out with girls that paint he ehould keep it to himself. It is hard enough for girls as ft whole ' to keep ft good name in this world. If I were a girl I'd like to write C. O. A. ft personal letter. I think he would change his ideas of good and bad girls. I don't think C. O. A. had any grounds to start this ar gument Let the girls do as they please about painting or powdering that is none of the men's business. Let's ask the girls what they think of a boy that gambles. It is just as bad either way. Theyihave JuBt as much right to paint as we have to gamble. EIGHTEEN. Painted Bolls. My Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Just ft few words on "Painted Dolls." I think Mr. C. O. A. looks on the wrong side of this matter en tirely. Of course, I agree that many, tnany women and girls go to ex tremes. But how much a little pow der and paint adds to one's looks at times. Show me the man that likes to go about with a young lady who is always pale and her face is always shiny, etc. That's about what they'd all look like if it wasn't for the paints and rouge. There is ab solutely no excuse for carrying it too far. And then why do people persist in kicking ft woman when . she's down, instead of giving her ft help ing hand? There would be much less evil in the world if everyone at tended to his own business. The Bible says, "Go ye, and sin no more," It seems that if a woman or girl does try to do better, some one is continually reminding her of her downfall. If she really wants to do better, help her, and try to make her feel as if she were your equal. (And in ft good many cases sho is) I could talk and talk on this sub ject but as space is limited I will quit. Please do not print address or name. (SHORTY.) The Painted Girls, My Dear Miss Fairfax: Not only religious but the welfare of society demands encouragement and real help be extended to every class of human society. Scorn for those we sT'7v7lA'',, -" " SKENE VvV-J THE I ij 3E5T fRAOK MARK SUCCESSOR TO. METZGERS fuel or think are below us in social or moral life is not only not Chris tian it Is unpatriotic. For scorn Is promotion of class and race hatred. It breeds social and industrial un rest and strife. The fact that these painted girls are hard to reach and that comparatively few are re deemed to a virtuous life is not a reason for neglecting to do what we may to befriend and help all we can to save some to ft life of virtue and honor. I think generally women are more uncharitable and unwill ing to help the fallen girl than men. And if good women and girls would turn as cold ft shoulder to the un virtuous man as to the unvlrtuous girl they would help ft lot in solv ing the social evil. And if the law would ruuteh the man who betrays ft girl a; lie should be punished it would heir a lot, too. W. V. H. Sf:tiC4. av" " 1 - ' ' .'-"-" ,--. i a N vi ru'iUtiftU4i .
