; If you have attained the age of
discretion, or indiscretion, for that
matter, it is highly probable that at
ome time or other you have seen
enacted on the stage a play com
pounded , after the following well
known recipe:' v ;
. Take a young, middle-aged or ev
en near-elderly ' couple . that 1 have
been steeped in domestic happiness.
If of broiling age, they have prob
ably just completed an ideally happy
honeymoon; i I,f of roasting age,
they have perhaps been steeped tor
10 or IS years, jlf older, the steep
ing has been going on' longer.'
Now introduce one perfectly good
vampire," who may be either tough
or .tender, according to the taste of
the playwright In this recipe the
"vamp" stands for the "brisk fire"
that the cook book insists will burn
things if not carefully ' watched.
The "brisk fire" starts things going,
and while everything seems .to be in
the greatest danger, the chef in
the person oft the 'playwright in
troduces a fourth ingredient that
puts a check on the too rapid cook
ing of the domestic goose.
The fourth ingredient is none
other f , than 1 the - true-blue family
friend who agrees to make property
love to tl;e wife for the purpose of
making the husband jealous. You
recognize the old reliable plot that
you have seen a thousand times; it
is .as safe as mother's bread, as
sane as roast mutton. , ; - !z .
I .-. Recipe Bad In Reality.
But in real, life, alas, things do
not work out like the old reliable
stage formula which might be entitled-
"A Cure for Husbands." , If
the husband is really in the toils of
' a "vamp," he will not see things
at their face value. ; 1 His wife in
ome mysterious way becomes an
obstacle to his happiness and her
fond and foolish strategy may fur
nish ' him 'withr. the excuse for
which he has been looking.
. And sometimes the susceptible
gentlemen of real life who responds
to fthe -wife's languishing glances
' does not realize he is part of a plot
and that the neglected wife has no
use for him at all, but is merely
- (lirting as part of the game.
Also the husband, who has never
had any, patience with the sauce for
the goose sauce for the . gander
theory,- as far as women are con
cerned, now regards himself as a
domestic martyr whose own pec
cadillos are amply justified by the
- conduct of his wife'.- The sympathy
thai even the most flagrantly sin
ning husband is apt to feel at times
for. a wronged wife and which has
been,, the cause of innumerable rec
onciliations is lost by such mis
taken tactics. vr. v;.--
The hair of the dog that bit you"
is a poison tattier than an antidote,
when applied. as a cure to an im
pressionable husband. It works out
beautifully on the stage, and if you
want to see a husband get his just
deserts after this tit-for-tat fashion,
please pay anywhere from 50 cents
to $2, plus the war tax on theater
tickets,, to see it done up brown.
Then come home with a firm de
termination to reverse the action of
this fairy story in real life.
. For any woman who flirts, either
to teach her husband a lesson or
for her own amusement, is delib
erately pulling the foundation stones
from under her home. All that she
succeeds in doing is to shake his be

Grounds for Jealousy.
There are 'several things to be
considered in this great question of
jealousy -first, have you really got
anything tangible to be jealous
about? Is there an actual, indubit
able "vamp" menacing your hearth
stone, or are you offering your soul
to the green-eyed monster to feed
upon because of vague apprehen
sions that there might, could, would
or should Jbe some one?
Do not look at every - woman of
your acquaintance in the light of a
possible rival. Suggestion is a
potent agency; your very suspicions
may be the match .that starts the
fuse : x'
.If your troubles are-' real, and
there; is an actual inudubitable
"vamp" menacing your domestic
peace, the one sovereign remedy
alas, that it has not been put on the
stage! is horse sense. It is an al
most impossible formula to follow
when raw agony consumes one's
heart and soul and; flying, off the
handle is an ., almost automatic
process.. But in the long run s it is
the only cure. v, , , - y ,
Beating the "Vamp" at Own- Game.
You have got to beat the vampire
at he; own game by making t your
husband happier at home than away
from it. 'This means good meals, , a
comfortable house, no nagging and
no cross-questioning. The strong
hold of the vampire is that she plays
upon man's weakness, she discov
ers" his besetting vanity and she
makes of it a harp of a thousand
strings, and she is ready and willing
to play a tune on every one of them.
If he is vain about his appearance,
his , success in business, his popu
larity, his skill in out-of-door sports,
the Jady "vamp" is right there with
the "flattering unguent. Let us con
trast this with the nagging, faults
mining and general behavior 'of a
pcor woman whose nerves are rasp
ed to pieces by jealousy, and it, is
not difficult to see why John leaves
home. In short, husbands are not
unlike flies; they are more attracted
by molasses than vinegar.

Really erious.r r;
Dear Miss Falrfa,;Dmaha Bee: I
am a daily reader of your colum and
enjoy It. very much. , I, am. writing
to ask you some questions which 1
have longed to know. 1 am attend

very hard, for I will jsoon graduate. I
have not very much time to spend
in atudieing etiquet, So here arc
the questions I want to ask you: .
When a boy is taking a girl home
from a party, should he pay her car
fare? ' . - -
I heard a boy once remark that it
was a girls place to throw a alight
hint such as if she wanted to go
home with a certain boy to say, are
you gol;rg my, way. I' though it was
a boy's place to ask a girt if he
wanted to take her home. Will you
please tell me which is propper. 1
What should a girl say to the boy
that takes her home just before
leaving him to go into the house.
Is "it proper fdr her to stand and
talk to him or not

Tou have many studies to learn,
Indeed,' if when ready to graduate
from high school you write a letter
such as this. Before specializing in
etiquet exclusively,-1 recommend a
course in Spelling,' punctuation and
grammar.' It Is really serious and
not funny, to spell words like this. I
can excuse the writing,' of course, but
you should not, yourself, either the
writing or spelling. - --

Notice the . little courtesies that in

should pay tha : carj fare, ! if he Is

to ask you. - When there are several

It is customary, but' not necessary.

, Her Sister's Husband.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
very much want your, opinion of a
certain matter. It is this: - A man
man married a certain young lady.
This young lady had a younger sis
ter. This sister and her brother-in-law
have never met. The wife died
last winter, leaving a small boy. The
sister and brother-in-law' have been
corresponding and probably will
meet soon. If they should find that
they are In love and they should
consider marriage, what would you
advise them to o t Would such a
marriage be considered wrong? .
I know I am not a good scribe,
but do you consider my writing fair

Thanking you for any advice
which you can give me,( I am sin
cerely yours, ' I R.
There Is no moral objection to
the marriage of a woman and her
deceased Sister s husband. Such a
woman might be a better mother for
her sister's child than a step-mother
without that tie. Your writing is
legible and your spelling and punc
tuation are good. '
Those Who Pity.''
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am a constant reader to your "Ad
vice to the Lovelorn" and enjoyed
it very much until lately. It is get
ting a. habit of some foolish people
to ask such silly questions. Really
I never had in mind that there were
such silly people in this great

questions like these 16-year-old girls.
have to ask, or those young ladies
that find so much time to worry
about the city girls. If -they would
spend more of their time minding
their own, business they would sure
ly find less fault with the city girl..
Miss Fairfax, ,1 don't 'blame you
one bit for the answers you give
them. . If I was in you place I would
think my time too precious answer
ing some of these silly letters.
