Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have been reading your "Advice to the Lovelorn" for some time ana think your advice Is fine, so I am coming to you with my troubles. For the last three years I have been Kolns with a young girl whom I thought lots of. Last September she went away to college and then the trouble bepan. She has told me that there were lots of other young men to go with and did not care If I did not call on her any more. I dress well, but she always has some remark to make about my clothing. One day I bought a checkered vest. That hurt "her eyes" and would "stop an eight-day dock," as she said. About six weeks ago a girl friend of hers came home with her on Sunday and I did my best to be agreeable and help entertain her friend. She said she was ashamed of me and that I had better stay away till I learned some manners, and I haven't been back to call on her since then. She is 18 and I am 20. She is going to col lege another year and teach three terms of school and she wants me to wait till then before she will marry me. I am a farmer, but she thinks I ought to study to be a pastor. Now, I want your advice. Would you ad vise me to go back to her and wait till she Is through teaching school or Just keep on learning manners? I will sign F. VK'Z. The girl Is not worthy of your love, and you would never be happy with her If she did finally consent to mar riage. I know nothing about your manners, but know that If she has superior ones and wished to help you Improve yours she would take a different method than the one you describe. She exhibits an ugliness of soul which la far worse than a mere breach of formal convention. She knows you care for her and is taking advantage of you. Take & more independent attitude; she will respect you more if she knows you recognize that her remarks are of fensive.

AO frigg EBU Corinne Griffith liiMF ml Caring For Nails Mary MacLaren. the movie ac tress, has beautiful hands, and they are made even more beautiful by her nails, which are always in exquisite condition. The star insists that there is a right and a wrong way to manicure, and tells of both in ex plaining her own method of keeping her nails looking "just right." . "Care of the finger nails is a finer art than most girls realize," says Miss MacLaren. "The girl who neglects her nails cannot know how much she loses because of it. I do not think I am the only person who sees lack of self-respect in such a girl, and she is bound to lose the confidence of many because of it. The girl who devotes some of her time, if only a few minutess a day. to her hands and finger nails, will find that she is amply repaid for her trouble. "The cuticle should never be 'jab ied' at, because the nail will imme liately resent it and the 'moons' will ecome imperfect. In removing the .uperfluous skin around the base of the nails cuticle ice should be used, as the old-fashioned method of cut ting the cuticle has been found to be injurious to the nerves, v "Whitening applied under the Tails gives a fastidious aspect to the lands that is delightful, and care hould be taken in polishing, that a oo high luster does not detract rom the beauty of the finished op-ration."

This movie actress, however, could wear other styles of hairdress most any except the "Valeska Suratt" model. occupation ahall be. It would be all right for you to counsel with a girl who Intended to be your wife, but such a person should have your wel fare at heart and not be a girl whose head is turned with a "little knowledge," which "is a dangerous thing." Decoration Day. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: My brother died during the "flu" epidemic while in a camp. The re mains were brought home for bur ial. I want to know if it would be proper to cover the grave with a large flag Decoration day or just use a small flag waving over the grave, as we keep one on his grave all the time? Please answer briefly in your column. Thanking you, ANXIOUS OMAHA. Do Just as you please. There Is no set rule that I know of for using the flag. Wedding Breakfast. Watch Miss Gross' home economics column, which appears on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, Friday afternoon ad Saturday morn ing. Your questions will be an swered there. The Pickfords. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I am a reader of the "Lovelorn Ad vice" and enjoy It very much, al though some of the letters seem very silly. I am not in love, but something different than most of the letters are. Our room was talking of Jack Plckford, Mary and Lottie Pickford. Some of the pupils said they were brother and sisters; some said Mary was no relation to Jack and Lottie. You will please tell me by telling which Is right, please. I remain yours, BROWN EYES. Jack, Mary and Lottie are brother and sister. Brown Eyes I think I have an other letter from you signed "Dim ples," haven't I? You ask me to tell you a new way to fix your hair. How can I when you don't say how you are wearing it now? There is no standard height for a girl of 14. I am not giving your name to a "well-behaved" boy because that is not the prime purpose of this de partment and is only done when special reasons seem to justify It. Theda Bara is 2 9 years old. to dances, not because the dances are necessarily harmful in them selves, but because youth is a time for building up the mind and body and dances don't contribute to this end. There are many years farther on when such a recreation has its place. Your letter Is fairly well written, but I am sure you would profit in later life by devoting your self for a few years right now to your education. Electric curlers do not stop the hair from growing nor harm It, except that any curler worn over night is likely to break off the hair. Nebraska Bachelor Will When people ask you why you have never married, tell them you have always known yo could make one woman supremely happy, but could never bear to think of all those you would disappoint. Fourteen A girl of your age is too young to think seriously about boys, but there could be no objection to a reasonable amount of companion ship and conversation. Your blush ing is a physical reaction caused from self-consciousness. You say you are rather dark in complexion, so your blushing is evidently not very noticeable to others. Height, weight, color of eyes and hair are not of sufficient description to make it possible to judge of one's beauty. Send me your photograph If you really want my opinion. If you mean "The Declaration of Inde pendence" look in your history. You say you are in the Eighth grade. If so, you will be able to find it In your school room..

Naturally they don't trouble you when you are not in the office because you are not using them so much. I advise you to see a good oculist, but be sure he is a good one and can give your eyes a reliable test, and who will not fit you with glasses unless you really need them. A Xlce Little Girl. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Am very much Interested in your "Advice to the Lovelorn" that I myself have come for some. Now, Miss Fairfax, a boy friend of mine, whom I admired very much, left town before Easter, and he said he would write. On Easter Sunday 1 received an Easter card from him. Now, do you think I should answer this card or wait for a letter, or till he writes again? Do you think a girl of 15 Is too young to go to dances If she comes home with he girl friends or parents? Do electric hair curlers harm the hair or stop them from growing? Thanking you In advance. BETSY.

At the Gates of May Spring has opened her garden gate ! Come in, my love, and see The miracle of her winter dream Awaiting you and me. Where yesteryear's sweet peas forlorn On frosty wings took flight, A flock of pink and purple wings, Came fluttering down last night. And naked thorn and tattered leaf Waifs of the wintry snow3 Lift up their ruddy faces now, The children of the rose. Bubbles of golden laughter now, Baubles of Mab and Pan, Pink with the first shy blush of May, They greet us, maid and man. For spring has opened her garden gate, And thrush and oriole throw My harp of roses at your feet With all the buds that blow; And watching these, that dance for love, And dye and weave and spin, Open the garden of your heart, And let my heart come in !

MAKE THE MOST OF THE TIME Bishop Stnntz Says: America Must Put Over the Methodist Centenary Fund Once more I have returned to America from a long look upon the fatherlesneeds of Asia. For the seventh time in my life have 1 had this heavy duty to perform. During eight long years at one time did I look upon that need in India. As I return, one bright bow of promise spans my mental sky and that is THE CEN TENARY" program of the Methodist Episcopal Church. This program MUST SUCCEED. What is the need of Asia and of the whole world today? It is great MORAL LEAD ERSHIP. Japan needs it as she stands at the parting of the ways between a military past and a future in which her masses and her leaders adopt new and purer ideals of national life. China so desperately needs MORAL LEADERSHIP that nothing else will avert un measured political shipwreck. India needs nothing so insistently just now as MORAL LEADERSHIP. In the Philippines the cry is the same. Russia needs it to pilot her ship of state to safe anchorage. Europe needs moral guides if she is ever to see an end to "red ruin and the breaking out of war." The map of Africa is being re-made. My four years of service in Latin America drive no conclusion more deeply home than that her need, too, is for MORAL LEADERSHIP. But such leadership is found only in clean and trained human lives. And these are of slow growth. They come from Christian training in Home and Church and School To provide for this training, THE CENTENARY has been raised up in this supremely critical hour of the world's need. To send the large trained force needed and to pro vide the buildings and the other equipment needed, this sum of $105,000,000 is needed. It is not too large a sum. It is too small. The one criticism which I have been passing on the estimates sent in from the fields, which I have just visited, is that THEY ARE TOO SMALL. Only $6,000,000 for all of China, when this involves founding five universities and scores of high schools and intermediate schools, as well as hospital and regular ministerial workers by the scores. Think what ONE American Univerity costs to establish! This is a huge sum, as we have been accustomed to think of sums devoted to Christian work, but ij is too small for the unmeasured need of a distracted world. And now for the last week ! Nqw for the final pull ! Now for victory all along the line. THE CENTENARY MUST SUCCEED. HOMER C. STUNTZ. Resident Bishop, Omaha Area. t The Debt of Peace America's debts of war were large, but her debts of peace are tremendous, yet they are debts of honor. The mere signing of the armistice has not established democratic institutions through out the world. And yet the far peoples of Africa and the east and the far islands look to America for the realization of that world betterment ideal. The big fellow feeling that helped win the war was but another expression of th Spirit of Christ. It is the Spirit of Christ that will bring freedom political, economic and religious freedom to all the peoples of the world. . It is that Spirit of Christ that will fill the Methodist Centenary coffers to overflowing that brotherly love and peace and helpfulness and true democracy may be spread broadcast throughout the world. , The Centenary program is a means by which America may pay to the far peoples her debts of peace, her honor debts. The time to make your subscription to this great Centenary fund is now. Do it will inglygladlyand if you want to know more details of this movement, we ask that you talk to any Methodist minister or pastor in your community. v' The Methodist Episcopal Church of America card?
