Love Comes Unbidden and, "To Love or Not We Are
No More Free Than the Ripple to Rise and Leave
the Sea."
; By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Her Pretty Undies.
Dear Mlaa Fairfax, Omaha Bea: I
am a country girl and I Just came
to Omaha about two weeks ago and
have made tome friends. At a sale
I bought tome real nice silk under
wear and night gowna real cheap.
They are very pretty and I showed
them to aorae of my girl friends.
They told me that Mr. Welrlch of
the welfare board would not let me
wear the thin sleeveless nighties, or
camisoles, and that I would be ar
rested if I did. Is this so? I want
to obey the law, but I don't think H
Is the welfare board's business what
kind of underwear and nightgowns
wear, but my friends assure me
'.his is the case. Will you please
tell me If this is so, because I don't
want my city friends to think me
countrified and not know what to
do, so I am asking you, as I hear
you give good advice.
Thanking you in advance, I am,
COUNTRY GIRL.
Every girl likes pretty undies and
you will not be arrested for wearing
them. Don't worry! Mr. Wetrich
doesn't bother about what you wear
so long as you act properly. The
Slrla are trying to tease you.
Venus.
Dear Miss Fairfax: -Have been a
reader of your splendid "Advice" for
some time and have noticed quite a
number of girls my age getting ad
vice over matters that seem silly. I
want to consult you on some really
Important subjects, but first I -shall
give you a brief decrlptlon of my
self. I am five feet, seven Inches tall,
weigh 120 pounds and have a form
that Venus would envy. I am a
blond, have blue eyes and a wonder
ful complexion. My said complexion
is real. I'm no hand painted doll
ind I look to be at least 19, although
I am but 16.
I go to Council Bluffs High school
and am a freshman. My studies are
90 per cent and over, so you see I
am a very good student
Not only am I bright, but as you
have probably already Imagined I
im popular with the boys. -
Now wat I want to know Is this,
is it wrong to have seven dates a
week with boys? Mother thinks it
Is but I don't. Should my gentle
men callers go home before 2 or S
o'clock in the morning? Is It proper
for me to kiss them good night? Is
It all right tto have four or Ave fel
lows at the same time?
Please print my answer In The
Dally Bee. With many thanks,
A. B. C.
Seven dates a week! A form
Venus would envy! Wonderful com
plexion! Surely the gods were good
to you. It Is rather dangerous to go
home so early if your gentlemen
friends will be patient another hour
or two dawn will make their home
ward journey less lonesome. Since
your beauty Is so dazzling It would
be selfish to confine yourself to one
or two, or even a half dozen, young
men. Be considerate and divide
your time among them. How do you
Ind. time for such trivial, unimpor
tant matters as school? Tour writ
ing is very poor for one whose marks
are 90 and over.
In Distress.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have come
' to you for advice, although It's not a
love affair. I have been married
three years and am 20 years old.
My husband gets 1 60 a month, but
after we pay the rent and grocery
bills there Isn't much left. We have
two children and also have to keep
two of my husband's brothers who
are both crippled so they can't
work.
Can you tell me some way to earn
money so I, can get us a few clothes,
t have only an eighth grade educa
tion and the babies are so small
(Hazel only three months), I can't
leave them long at a time.
I do want pretty things to wear.
I do wish the babies and me could
look like other people. I haven't
had a new dress or hat since I have
'- been married except a few aprons
to wear at home. My shoes, the only
pair I have, they have been half
soled twice. Is it any wonder I
want something new?
People give me things to make
over for the children and myself,
but I don't like to wear them when
everybody In town knows whose they
used to be. If they only lived in
some other town where they would
not see me wear them I wouldn't
care. I don't know what makes me
feel that way. Thanking you for
your advice. MRS. TWENTY.
It is difficult to suggest ways of
earning extra money In the small
towns. However, you might write to
Miss Elizabeth Stearns, employment
bureau, court house, Omaha, who
may be able to help you. Home em
ployment is often advertised In the
Saturday Evening Post and the va
rious woman's magazines. Of course
you want pretty things every wom
an does. Watch the advertisements
in magazines and newspapers for
home employment for your crippled
brothers. That might help some.
Perhaps some kind reader may have
a suggestion.
. Poor Fellow.
""'y Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
1 am a soldier returned from over
seas. Hun gas or 75's held no ter
ror for me, but I have one great
' weakness that military training
:ould not overcome, namely, I have
terribly weak knees, and It embar
rasses me greatly when my sweet
heart or any of my girl friends (who
know of this weakness) try to tease
me by tickling my knees. Could you
i recommend any exercise or medi
cine which will overcome this ten
dency? A YANK.
Why were you like Samson and
reveal the fatal point of weakness?
But really, it is easier to make peo
ple stop tickling you than to
strengthen your knees, I wager.
Might wear knee caps.
Modern Magdalene.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Please count me among those who
write to you for real Information.
I am 20, and three years ago I
tell in love with a soldier. He seem
ed to think a great deal of me and
I, urged on by my parents, consent
ed to marry him. At first I cared
little for him, but he was a ladles'
man, good looking and all, and love
came blindly. I loved him and
'.rusted him too far. Miss Fairfax,
t am not a bad girl. He broke our
engagement, and since then I have
become engaged to a man who
teems to be a gentleman.
I have heard It said that one who
breaks that commandment must not
wear a wedding veil. Is this true?
I do not belong to any church, but
to do right Yet X can not blame
myself for that one wrong deed, as
I feel as Innocent as the day I first
knew him. Please let me hear your
opinion. Thanking you In advance,
LILY OF THE VALLEY.
The man Is more to blame than
you are. Jesus said to Magdalene:
"Go and sin no more." I can say
nothing more. If Jesus didn't hold
the sin against Magdalene, surely I
cannot hold a sin against yoiK Dis
miss it from your mljd.
' A Young Mother.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
Since you have given such good ad
vice to others, I am coming to you
with ray troubles. I am a young
married woman of 17: have been
married going on two years. We"
have a nice little baby boy S months
old. My husband has just come
back from France; he was wounded
once. We are housekeeping now,
but It seems as though he cannot
make enough to make ends meet,
and I always like to keep my bills
paid, for it's the best motto. He
only makes $75 per month, and the
baby nurses the bottle. So, Miss
Fairfax, you know how it would
keep one thinking. I have asked
my husband several times to let me
go to work and help, but he says
he Is afraid the baby wouldn't get
good care, but you never know un
til you try. Do you? He Is the
best-natured little baby, for you
never know he's around only when
he gets hungry: then he lets you
know. We have the coziest little
home anyone could ask for and I
would like to help out, too, so we
can get straightened around. If I
could only find someone who would
give our baby care. Hoping to see
my letter and answer In print, and
thanking you for your kind advice,
I am A WORRIED MOTHER.
I cannot advise a young mother
to leave her baby to the care of oth
ers and go out to work. Call on
Miss Betty Stearns, employment bu
reau, In the basement of the court
house, i She may be able to solve
your problem with home work.
Four Brunettes. '
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
.We are four sisters; we are very
dark complexioned, very dark,
straight, coarse hair; we have large
peg noses, thick lips, white pearl
teeth and are very fleshy, with large
feet Could you give us some ad
vice to be popular among the boys?
We have not very many friends,
but try to be nice girls. We keep
up with the style in dress. Please
print this In the Friday Omaha Bee.
BRUNETTES.
Are you sure you do not exagger
ate your unattractlveness? Coarse
hair is much more easily dressed
than fine hair. Watch the fashion
magazines and the woman's section
of The Bee for styles. Olive skin is
considered beautiful if well kept
and powdered to remove the shine.
The selection of shoes is most im
portant Be sure that they are
large enough. "This not only makes
your feet look smaller, but gives
them better lines and more grace to
the carriage. One cannot be grace
ful or have poise with uncomforta
ble shoes. Personality and charm
are worth more than beauty, and if
you cultivate these you will be more
popular.
A Stranger.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am a lonesome girl in this city,
having come here as a stranger.
Would you please tell me how I can
get acquainted with young people?
I don't go to dances. Do you think
it would be proper for me to take
dancing lessons? What is your ad
vice? Thanking you for an answer,
UNCERTAIN.
I see no harm in your taking
dancing lessons In fact it adds
to one's grace. A stranger should
go to some church. It is there that
one feels at home after a few visits
and becomes acquainted with the
right kin of people and do not
think for a minute they are all pious
folks. They are good, wholesome,
bright, energetic, right-up-to-the-minute
people.
Some Letter.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
have read your excellent advice in
The Omaha Daily Bee and have de
cided that you are the person to
go to for advice. I am about seven
feet tall, more or less, and weigh
70 1-32 pounds. My father's un
cle's daughter's son wants to marry
me. I am considered very beautiful.
Have the new taupe colored hair
and my eyes are greenish blue. I
have a wart on the end of my nose.
How can I get rid of it? -1 am very
much in love with the movie actor,
Roscoe Arbuckle. Do you suppose
he would divorce his wife for me? I
