' Problems That Perplex Answered by BEATRICE FAIRFAX The Secret Marriage. Dear Miss Fairfax: For six momhs I have been going out with a young man of 22, four ytars my jenior. He now wants to be married in court on the "Q. T.;" not being in position to have a home at the pres ent time. He promises me that our marriage will be publicly announced in about two year's, this at my re ouest, which time I 1 aye given him to make good.s , . ' , ' My parents and several of my girl friends object to him,' but dearly love him. If we do marry I will have my chum and he his brother as witnesses, and until, our marriage is announced no one' will be the wiser. I know it would grieve my moth- er were she made aware of my con templated act, as she continually ad vises me to give him up, thinking I am too good for him. Do yo:i think it advisable for nu to marry him. He refuses abso lutely to wait the two year to be married publicly, sayii'g that it will show my true love for him if I take him now in the face of all opposi tion. ALICE. , By no means marry secretly. Since your mother and your friends unite in disliking this young man, there must be something pretty evident ly wrong about him I don't like the way he is forcing your hand nor yet the lack of self-control he shows m refusing to wait and w over those you love so that your mar riage won't start so heavily handicapped. Let the M.m Show Appreciation. Dear Miss' Fairfax: I am Acquaint ed with a young man three years my senior. My mother is very foal! of bin.. Rtrcr'tly sJic uggested my asking nun to join us t'n a mur ;m j I met him and to my disappointment j found that it was imrti sible for him to cop;e. J told my roomer ana iiic is hurt to thivk rf his rejecting tne invitation.' Tin's, howxver, is the sec ond t:nie that he has Rejected an in vitation, 'u both '.unes the reasrs were logical. " . r Will yc-ii please aJviae me wiu: to do? I have implored my mother to extend in.o'l er in Hition soni. fu ture time. but , he re.vsts. saying that it is plain he does .;ct wish n b. in our compan y . I ii-e my lr.Miier dearly and 1 c ot wish to ca;s her any irpnb'e but I'm grjevej to think of her unreasonableness, I, too, ,nm very fond of this young man H.PF.. If the'young man has any desire for your company, why should he r.ot make some return for the cour tesies yot) have tried to extend him? Don't you think you may "pester" hin by offering any more invita tions? And still further, don't you think thati you may humiliate your self in case he agair. refuses? I'm not sure that your mother has any cause to be hurt, but I'm equally sure that you mustn't try to forcu your society on anyone who hasn't given much proof of desiring it. ! ' A Debt of Honor. Dear Miss Fairfax: Two years ago I met a young man who was one year my senior and we grew to be very tvnd ot each other, which led into deep love. I always knew that his parents forbade him to be in my company as I was a poor girl and he was very "wealthy. However, he tid not seem to care what hey sait and would come to see n.e as oftc.i as five days in a week. However, we recently parted without my knowing the rea son. A few days ago a friend of his in formed me that he is seriously sick in the hospitrl of the United States army.' and told m th;.t if I really love. a I sy I ' d:, that I should go down to see him. In a cr.se of serious sickness, no one need stop to consider questions of dignity and tormalily. A call on a man wh is sick and suffering and compelled ty r.'main helpless in a hospital is an effort to do a kindness to one in need. I should call this a debt of honor to one whose- friendship was given me fully and fre!y for a ti'.ie and so I'd go and see if I could do anything for the sick boy. What's World Coming t;o. You Ask The Dangerous Flirt1 Dear Miss Fairfax: I could love a girl friend dearly if it were not that she likes to flirt. My first im pression of her was wonderful, but when I saw her flirting it reduced it about SO per cent. I have tried to tell her that it does not become her and that she can get many good friends by acting naturally. She tells me she only wants to bi so ciable. , There is not one good word to be said in favor of flirtine. A eood fgirl should hold only "thoughts of contempt in regard to the word Be cause they should have in mind that no good girl need have to flirt to make men friends. ARTHUR Of course there isn't a good word to be said for flirting. It is cheap and degrading. It is unsafe in that it gives the wrong impression con cerning the girl in the case. But there's still more danger the ave rage young girl isn't a good enough judge of human nature; she hasn't had the experience to enable her to decide whether a man is a crook of good appearance or an honest young working man. The man who flirts may have the most evil of inten tions. He may get the worst of Im pressions. He 'may be a philander ing husband he tnay be anything. "And the younsrgirl who admires what her eyes behold and can't see beyond surfaces is inviting danger and misadventure when she helps herself to an unsanctioned acquaint ance. In your case, however, the girl is cheapening you as well as herself .when she shows that vour I friendship isn't important enough to take the place ot idle chance ac quaintance. , Rnhy: The parents of the bride rhould he Ih first to congratulate the couple after the clergyman and the attendants hav extended their congratulations, j Simply wish the hrdlo happiness and congratulate thfi groom. It is not necessary to kiss the groom, but In this esse, s you nre the brlrls little sister, it would bo perfectly propr. rvrvloxod: Refrain from speaking of other girls when in the presence of your fiancee. It only drouse her jealousy and makes it unpleasant for you both. You rannot blame her for wanting; to Itnow something about your finnnoinl tiff-1'-. One '.cannot live onslove theee days. By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. , Don't you sometimes find your self growing very "snifty" about the world and its people. Don't yoi sometimes catch yourself throwing my your hands and crying out: "What's the world coming to Such extravagance! Such licence! Such a lack of decency and dignity and self-icspect. Really there seems to be no self-respecting, simple, moral. home loving folks anv longer." . ' Next time you find yourself in such extreme mood as this, stop and say to yourself some lines of Kipling's which in the interests of tolerance all of us v ould do well to memorize: "And if men do me random wrong, as many times hath I. ecu I shall not cherish hiitc too long my hands are none too clean. And if they do me random good, 1 " shall not feign surprise, . Remembering those whom I have cheered with roadside courtesies. (For as we give, and as we take whatever our takings be Thy people, Lord, Tl.v people are good enough for me.) , "Thy people Lord, Thy people arc good enough for ine" that . line would be. a good precept for most of us to learn and lemember in these days when so many of us are swept off our feet bv the urge of livin-T and so many of the rest of us stand looking on and regretting jhe actual debaucherj we see at. about us. After all the human race is onlv a trifling matter of 50,000 years old in a world which has been millions of years evolving to it present state of habitahility. The human race is young. Modern science says ma. each of us has in his being germs oi all the istinial life which has been constantly evolving on this earth Of ours as 't became habitable and, capable of supporting life. This young race of ours has gone pretty far and done pretty well. W have and justifiably-r-a spiritual ideal, cut we are anunais wna have learned to stai.d upright, to govern ourselves and to light fires end make laws and communicate in speech. If we slip back now ani then and show traces of the animal from which we've evolved, why.be hypocritical or phantaical or cruel about it? ' t . It is in our fairness to each other that we show most clearly that w are capable of reasoning. We don't have to judge by appearances. We don't have to trust entirely to the, evidence of our eyes and ears. We Can look beyoiid sight and sound end ven beyond sens; and judge by what we know was meant. , "Ever judge men by their aspira tion?" asked a great poet. For the moment of aspiration and dreaming if only a moment it tells of where the man who dreamed and aspired is capable of going if he develops to the uttermost If he doesn t. it's a tragedy not a thing at which to sneer not a 4hing for which to con demn. ' Silly Travesties. Yesterday, while I was waiting for a stage, two girls came .and tee tered about atv-the corner where I stood". They wore tiny, vivid hats. out only under the softened lights of evening. And more vivid than ever under these gay, inadequate hats which cast no kindlv shadows were their pitifully artificial com plexions. Cheeks a glaring orangey pink. Chinr and nose too promi nent because so white that they caught all the high-lights. Lips an ugly purplish carmine, which nature would know better than to make. And in their tightly-wrapped dol mans with tight skirts a little longer than a modest bathing 'suit, with daringly open silk stockings and regular dancing slippers, they were a travesty of the fashion which is exaggerated enough, 4 goodness ' knows. The passing men turned to ad mire or sneer as they read thK pit iful, worldly-looking little bits of femininity. For a moment I feltj critical. Then I grew very sad. Those little girls were made up to look like the 'to cottes" of the gayest, saddest city on earth. They invited attention of a coarse, bold, wondering sort from men. They invited it and they'd get it. Perhaps they knew and didn't care; perhaps they didn't realize; they were so pitifully young and so pitifully cheap. They were such tawdry imitations of what we see everywhere today. Men seem to like it. So women, keep on doing if. Men of a sort are stimulated by this garish, immodest and altogether suggestive dressing.. And the more women do it, thj more men get used to it, and the more decent men adjust themselves; to it. And the circle grows. t It's "old-fashioned" to object so 1 say many people. It's cruel to judge. So say I. And today, as in every age, and century, license and luxury do their part to weaken the morale of our youth, and age stands' by, helolcss to make youth uriderT ?tand that delicacy and sweetness have their own charm. " Where's ahe world heading No where very dreadful only to th place where, having run itself out; of breath in pursuit of the material and the earth-earthy, it will turn around and run after a new set of ideals. No ideals today? Plenty of them tomorrow. For fashions change and individual change with them. We arc a little reckless and silly now. Sometimes it hurts dreadfully. ' But let's not think about it too snuch.' Let's not take it too seriously. Let's turn our minds to a few ideals and see if wc can't direct the world's at tentions away from its frail appetites up to its exquisite aspirations. . Spanish Hats The Spanish influence in dress is so strong that milliners are using real comb tops as well as imitations as the foundation against which to build many charming little chapeaux. now and then draping the hat thus fashioned with a rich lace veil so as to further emphasize the Spanish ef fect.
