By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. If you are a young and romantic person of, say, 18 years of age, have you ever sat down and seriously thought about yourself in the terms of a fly? Here you are, young, beautiful, as flies go, full of energy and the joy of living, buzzing around very hap pily indeed; and there, waiting to entangle you hand and foot, forever and forever, is the strip of fly paper represented by your mistakes. How much caution are you exer cising to avoid the fly paper, that threatens to put a stop-to your joy ous activities for all time? Older people talk to you about the waiting fly paper and you regard them as "meddlesome old bores." They preach ebout fly paper, in church sometimes, only they don't call it by that name. There it is known as temptation, the world, the flesh and the devil, and the wages of sin. You don't think much of these admonitions. They seem an intru sion on your personal liberty. Ac cordingly you remain away from church and go to the movies. In like manner, perhaps, such words as duty, responsibility, integ rity, justice and the rest of the ethi cal litany impress you as being ab surdly old-fashioned as full skirts, flat heels and curled ostrich pluirus. Their quaintness will be especially apparent if you have been reading along the lines of the "higher free dom," which advocates a jungle-like lack of restraint in human conduct. You will be especially proficient in the language of the "higher free dom" cult if you boast a smattering of Russian literature in translation, of course. It will enable you to shock your grandmothei, your maid en aunt and the seamstress-by-the day with your progressive views much more quickly than if you con fined yourself to the same line in English. There is no mistake about it, the Russians know how to say things a whole lot better than we Ameri cans do, in spite of our magazine standard; or the English, for hat matter, in spite of their novels and essays. So when it comes to twitching a phrase in regard to the "higher free dom" you can shock Aunt Jane or grandma more quickly if you borrow your bomb from Russian literature than if you took it from the pages of Bernard Shaw, for instance. And this shocking of Aunt Jane and grandma is great sport, especially since our safe and sane Fourth of July regulations debar firecrackers from private life. Harmless as Croquet. As long as bomb throwing is kept a strictly verbal sport it is as harmless as croquet, or the wear ing of those paper hats that add so much to the gaiety and abandon of birthday parties. But employ the bomb, not as a missile to terrify the elderly, but to blow up law, order and author ity, and you are apt to find tnat it has landed you bang on the fly paper to slightly mix my figures of speech. Now the, fly paper may be a very happy place indeed, when the mil lennium arrives, but at this stage of the world's history it is neither a comfortable nor an interesting habitat. In the first place, it is too conspicuous, and in the second, to be bound hand and foot, while a cool, appraising world stands aloof and watches your writhings while abstractly speculating if you have enough force of character to extri cate yourself, is not a cheerful prospect for a sensitive soul. Doubtless you were in pursuit of the "higher freedom" when you landed on the fly paper and the maxims of the cult continue to shine as beacons of truth, but maxims are cold comfort when one is bound to one s fate hand and foot. We may talk as well as ever about individual liberty, and the right to this, that and the other but when the possession of these things has branded us as a creature apart, and one whose "individuality" to speak gently evokes more pity than en thusiasm, the blessings are open to doubt. Have you ever, as a matter of curiosity, followed up any of the famous affinity cases that from time to time flash through the headlines of our daily press? Mr. Jones and Mrs. Smith decide to "fling the gauntlet in the face of society." as they used to say in the old-fashioned novels, quit all obli gations, and fly "to be happy ever after." Subsequently, the Quarrel ing of Mr. Jones and Mrs. Smith as revealed every day in the papers, makes the honest bickering of the married almost respectable by com parison. The affinity partnership, with its smashing of commandment and con vention, that the apostles of free dom tell us will safeguard the oer- manence of the union better than book and bell, invariably goes on the rocks. Such affairs are like the violent friendships that spring up on shipboard during a sea voyage, they are hectic while they last, but the congenial travelers find they are not booked for the same destination. While wings are free, there is no limit to one's soaring, straight into the blue as far as courage and am bition will carry us, but once on the fly paper, and the best we can do is to watch the fight of others rather a melancholy form of indoor sport. Silver will require no special cleansing if it is regularly washed in hot soapy water and thoroughly dried. Add a few drops of ammonia to the soapy water.

Unbidden and, "To Love or Not We Are No More Free Than the Ripple to Rise and Leave the Sea." By BEATRICE FAIRFAX Dear Readers: Let us christen this "lonesome day" and print a few letters, without answers, from lone some folks. B. F. Lonesome. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a girl, 19 years of age, and I would like to correspond with some nice boys. Do you know the names of any? I shall not describe my self as being a "raving beauty," nor as the opposite of that. I am a bru nette, with dark eyes and a fine complexion. What colors are suit able for me? Miss Fairfax, how Is my writing? Thanking you In advance, I am, -PEGGY BOYD." Why not comply with the rules of this department and send your real name and address? A Lonesome Girl. Dear Misc Fairfax, Umaha Bee: I also am a lonesome reader of your columns in The Bee and I would like to know sunh people as "The Bach elor Farmer" or "First Lieutenant." Then there are more Bayley Baynes than one, for I am a stay home girl, keeping house for an aged father. 1 live on a farm and my duties are such that I seldom have time to go any place. My sis ter was taken from me Just a short time ago, so you see how lonesome I am. I have had friends and still have them, but one most dear was taken from me by the war. I am not an old maid, neither am I a sehoolg'rl. bi.t have a credited high school education and also spent a few months in college. And I am neither beautiful nor so ugly that it will hurt your eyes to look at me. So I am hoping that my letter will find place for publication, find its way to some one as lonesome as I am. If so, my address can be obtained through "Miss Fairfax" of The Bee. MISS H. P. H. Lonesome 3Ien. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a young man of 19. Fairly good looking. I wish to make the acquaintance of some true-hearted girl. I am almost a stranger in Omaha ar.l I feci very lonesome without a girl friend. Any girl may feel perfectly saf6 while in my company. Any girl wishing a friend with true love, heart and happi ness, I will leave my name and ad dress with Alias Fairfax. Hoping to see my letter in print soon and thanking you in advance, I remain, respectfully yours. "H." Many Obstacles. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am coming to you for advice, as I think you answer some of those silly girls "O. K." I am 16 and go with a fellow, six f?et two inches tall, but I am but five feet. I war my hair down my back. I am very pale and "dis tinguished." Would It ruin my reputation to use rouge? I am a Catholic and have a bunion on my big toe. Do you think Christian Science would rid me of it? My fellow is a Protestant. Our friends call us "Mutt" and "Jeff." What should I do? His brother said if he marries me he will shoot us both. Do you think the law would allow this? Should I go to the lecture course with him, cr just to the movies, where it is dark and no one can see us? My mother weighs 250 pounds. Should she wear a narrow skirt and a cape? She wants, to be fashion able because she is popular, but is rarely seen in public. Will "lasheen" injure my eye lashes? The advertisements say it will not. Should I wear button shoes? My legs are large. Thanking you In advance. I re main, "JEFF." If you are pale and "distinguished" why spoil it by using rouge? Your reputation depends entirely on your surroundings and the people with whom von come iu contact. Chris tian Science does not always cure a Catholic bunion, but it may help. Your friend's brother is careless with his use of words. Shooting is con sidered, in most states, a criminal offense, loll him to consider well, ere he jumps at a conclusion. Yes, thd law allows shooting because It cannot well help it, but it also in flicts unpleasant punishment as an aftermath. The iecture course is Leg Sore A hate tare very deep roll of tad dUrtuuTre.

ED.HD.IED, 2 Lotion for Shin Disease Sherman McConntli Unit O NOTICE There are but three reasons why your letters do not appear in print because they are too long (more than 200 words), be cause you do not send your cor rect address as a postscript or because they are not suitable for publication. probably what you need. I suggest that your mother wear a wide skirt. I fear the narrow ones wouldn't do its duty. Women weighing 250 pounds are usually glad to wear any kind of covering large enough to "cover." I have never tried "lasheen" and therefore cannot recommend it. There Ik Hope. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Have been very much interested in your "Adivce to Lovelorn." Now, there is a question that has been bothering me for some time. My trouble seems to be much like "Bachelor Friend." Have had many beaux and boy friends, but I care as much for one as the other. Surely that isn't love. Do you think I will ever meet any one I really love, or is there such a thing? Should any one marry feel ing like that? I am' 23 years old and nice look ing and very fond of good times. Have a nice hrme and everything I want. Am a fine cook and house keeper. Anxiously awaiting your advice, yours truly, CURLY LOCKS. P. S. Please do not print my real name. Yes, at 23, I think that you need not give up hope of finding love. It is surely in this world, and sooner or later you will find it. If you feel that all men are the same, then that is not the feeling that makes one want to marry.

Do not speak to any boys unless you have had an introduction. Baylqy Bayne. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: This morning's paper honestly claims some one is Interested in me! And a "hayseed," too! My heart has warmed toward him for sure, as he says he looks like a monkey and signs himself "Hayseed" instead of "Pretty." Not much conceit there, is there? a fart which honestly makes me interested, I am sending my address. You wondered, in Saturday's paper, why I didn't send.
