Thanks for the Tip. Dear Miss Fairfax: I wonder If you will care for a plain "tip" In ex change for a little Information. For several weeks past It has been one of the diversions of a set of Omaha High school pupils to send yon va rious communications describing cer tain of their number plainly and then making a play on their peculiarities (real or fancied), and ask you all sorts of silly questions. The point being to make such parties ridiculous. In some cases this has resulted in Just a plain case of "mad clear through," and In others In truly hurting sensitive feelings. I realize that there is no possible way for you to get at the real and unreal quali ties of your letters except to use your fine intuition and guess. Very likely you can guess pretty near the facts. Please tell me your under standing of the word "vampire" or "to vamp." Some days ago there was a news article In The Bee in which the defense In a legal case was that the girl had "vamped" the defendant "Would you consider it an insult for a boy to call a girl a vampire or to accuse her ot vamp ing, especially if he should use this term in a note? Some girls seem to consider it a compliment. Citing Theda Bara as an example. Many and almost all of the high school set are reading your answers daily. Very truly, "HONEST." Thanks, but I have discovered that many letters "are written for fun and so, many of them find their way straight Into the wastebasket. Some of them are answered. It Is very unprincipled, to write descriptive letters because Oiie is- angry. Thoroughbreds never stoop to this level. The word "vampire" has gained such popular favor, and va rious flavor, that It is not safe to say what folks mean when they use that term. The dictionary gives the meaning: "A ghostly being that sucks the. blood of human beings while they sleep; one who prays upon his fellowmen," but Theda has "humanized" the term. I should consider it anything but a compli ment to be called a common vara pire. of work we have. That's the main reason "for my quitting school. What I wanted to ask Is this: What do you think about me. Miss Fairfax; ought I to go to school or do such girls at my age sometimes quit school? I wear my dresses quite short as yet. for they're Just below my knees, I used to comb my hair in a braid or curl down my back, but I wear my hair up now. Am I too young for this? I will soon be 14. I don't correspond or keep com pany with boys. No! Never! Is it sinful to powder and paint? I don't paint, but I use cold cream and pow der 'once In a while. Folks say I'm good looking, but I don't want to "show off" with myself. This is all, with hope to see my letter in print. BLUE EYES. Surely it Is a shame that you should have to quit school so -early. Lack of education will be a great handicap when you are grown. Could your mother spare you in case some good family In Omaha should offer you a home and schooling in return for your help after school? There are girls working their way through A Simple Kiddie - Frock 6 Red Cross Notes The Miller Park auxiliary, Mrs. T. P. Davis, chairman, finished work Friday, having worked one day a week from 10:00 a. m. to 5 p. m. at Miller Park shool.

Crowe, Chadron, Neb., a returned soldier from overseas, said to Mrs. Norris Brown, at the infor mation desk. Union station: "I am proud of the Red Cross, it has helped us so many times.

Vou must be well versed in love affairs to be able to answer all these love ques tions. There is a boy away at school and I have not heard from him since he left, but was a good friend of his before he left, so would you advise me to write him a letter because I feel sure he would write, only he has forgotten my address? I am 15 years old and in second year high, how tall should a girl my age be? I have a few gray hairs in my head, what do ' you suppose causes them ? What can I do to get rid of them? I do not worry in the least. Should a girl my age go out evenings with a gentleman friend; if so, how often? j Hoping I will find this In the Eve ning Bee soon. I remain. MRS. JIGGS' DAUGHTER. ROSIE. Suppose you Just wait until he re turns. Tou are very young to be serious about boy friends. Tou are doing nicely in your studies I do not know how tall you should be. Gray hair is beautiful, but 4f you wish to keep it dark, there are sev eral dyes. An escort is not objec tionable if he is the right kind, but surely I would not consider any young man a sweetheart, If I were you. To Bachelor Farmer. Dear Miss Fairfax; Have read with interest the answers to "Bachelor Farmer's" letter, but have noted no comments or Ideas on his problem. Can a happy and peaceful home be maintained where the two persons have only admiration and respect for each other and no love. Isn't that what you meant, "Bachelor Farmer?" You are won dering If it would be safe to choose the one girl who most nearly ap proaches your Ideal, and "take a chance?" x Since no one with experience has given his or their results, I, an Inex perienced one, will venture my opinion. And that opinion Is It would never, never be successful. For isn't love the foundation of "home?" That's what you wanted. Bachelor Farmer, , a "home," but would it last long without the foundation? And would it be a real home at all? Not the kind we all look forward to, at least, where perfect con geniality reigns because love Is there. Believe every normal man and girl have stored away somewhere (al though sometimes loathe to admit ti even to themselves) a vision of their ideal and we constantly seek the realization of that vision. But I sometimes ask myself this ques tion: Have I set my standards too high, forgetting perchance my own shortcomings? For aren't we all, unfortunately, too often blind to our own defects while we readily notice and prejudice them in another? But it seems to me, "Bachelor Farmer," that as yet, fate has not smiled upon you (in regard to the girl), for if you have met the really, truly, person you would have no doubts for Miss Fairfax to solve. (Isn't that true Miss Fairfax?) So wait a little longer. That girl is also waiting for you. Then as all good stories end. You'll live happy ever after. Very sincerely, "HAPPY GIRL." A few uninteresting letters have been received in reply to our frlend'e inquiry, but most pople seem reticent about expressing an opinion on mar riage without love. school In this fashion and they have the added advantage of the refining influence of educated people. If any matron in Omaha Is interested in you I sincerely hope they will write to me. An Address. Dear Miss Fairfax, Oaiaha Bee: Please forward enclosed letter to party who signed self as "Friend and Lover of Innocent Children." Thanking you, In advance, I remain, yours truly. HOPEFUL. I do not know the address of the one who signs "Friend and Lover of Innocent Children." Wish I did. Heart Broken Blessings brighten as they vanish don't they? I can't see what you can do except to take extra pains to show him that you are his friend. However, It eeems to me that he should speak to you for that is rather Inexcusable. . Blacky and Snip If your parents do no like thes boys far be it from me to tell you are rtght n going any way. I don't believe you're really in love with them now; and better not.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Umaha Bee: 1 have to write, not only for advice, but to tell about myself. Now, Miss Fairfax, I know that what I'll say is almost unbelievable, but, "hon est," I'm telling the truth. My let ter is quite long, but It ought to be printed, for it's not one of those silly letters that you have had to take patience with, but it's a letter over which the reader should have pity. I am a child, 13 years old, "have stopped school already," and not even finishing the seventh grade. I can cook, sew, knit, tat, crochet, and I have a very good voice. It seems terrible that I had to stop school, and I lost what I loved the very best on earth. And, Miss Fairfax,- I bet you wouldn't believe I am a housekeeper already. Yes, I cook and keep house for my brother, I would have gone to school had It been possible. I am of u family of Where Fashion Reigns A 35 '45 They are here; hundreds to . choose from.
