Problems That Perplex
An.werni by
BEA1RICE FAIRFAX.
1 Shall She Give Him I'p?
Dear Miss Falrfnx: I urn 18. en
gaged to a man oi 27. My parents
were not in favor of the match. Re
cently we were visiting relatives in
my family. These people made some
rude remarks to my parents re
garding my friend that he looked old
and not Rood-lookimr, etc.
I was almost tempted to break my
engagement. Now, Miss Fairfax, I
have been going about with this man
two years. We never had the least
bit of a quarrel. He loves me very
much, as before we became engaged
he had a good deal of trouble, as my
parents objected, but he never gave
up. Will you please advise me what
to do? , WORRIED.
Tou aren't marrying to please
your relatives. If your people have
any good reason to disapprove of
your marriage, it might be wise for
18 to listen to the Judgment and wis
dom of age. But once your parents
have agreed to let you marry the
man you love, and once you have
decided that he is indeed the man
with whom you wish to spend the
rest of your life, don't be so weak
as to yield to every wind that comes
along. It - is impossible to please
every one. It is you who must
choose but not without due regard
for the mother and father who have
your real interests at heart.
' Free to Make Friends.
Dear Mis Fairfax: Some months
ago an intimate friend and myself
met two young ladies. My friend
went out with one and I with the
other, always together. After going
five months with this young lady, I
left her. I always regretted not hav
ing taken my friend's sweetheart at
the beginning, as I cared more for
her. My friend, meanwhile, still was
going out with his sweetheart until
last week, when they, too, separated.
I did not think of this lady my
friend had been going out with until
last week I met her, and we had a

for me. and I reciprocated, but we
did not know what to do. I would
therefore ask you to advise us.

your sweetheart separated long ago.
And the other girl and your friend
quarreled, without any cause or of

shouldn't you be free to make friends
with this girl who attracts you?
Birthday Gifts.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a girl 18
years of age. engaged to a young
man. We have kept company for
nearly a year. Now, what I want to
ask you is this: "What shall I give
him for his birthday?" which is
soon.
Shall I give him my picture, with
out him asking for it? Or would
some piece of Jewelry be proper? I
would not care to spend more than
M or ?5. BLUE EYES.
Since you are engaged, I think
your photograph, perhaps in a pretty
frame, would be an acceptable gift.
If you know of something in Jewelry
which he would like to have, I think
It proper for you to make him such
a gift under the cirtumstances.
Mrs. V. A. B: I did not keep the
address of the Grand Island woman
who has an auto knitter. If she sees
this and will send me her address I
will give it to you through these
columns. I could locate it through
back files if I had an approximate
date, without which hours of search
ing might be required to find it.

THE use of any one of the shortenings shown
above will have little effect on the outside of
a loaf of bread.
v But shortening has a great deal to do with the
quality of bread, as well as with its color and
textureand price. '
In BETSY ROSS Bread the price of shortening
is secondary; first comes the desire to produce a
light, appetizing loaf of highest food value. In
ordinary bread a cheaper shortening must be
made to "do."
The slightly increased cost of this shortening
will be recognized and appreciated by those who
demand bread of high quality.

"Indeed, f shall be slad to do that

with another rapier-like glance at
me she nnlcd approvingly.
"I'm glad to sre that Richard is
himself a.taiu," she said cryptically,
and went on rapidly without giving
me a chance to reply. "1 can give
you only a few hours' real sleep,"
he said, "for Tom Cheter will bring
Mr. Briggs straight over her before
breakfast. I imagine snd I want you
v;ith me while 1 talk to him. So set
our ahirm clock for 5."
I obeyed her injunction, and was
awakened with a jerk by the shrill
pealing of the clock, and lay strug
gling with my overpowering sleep
iness for several minutes before I
could overcome it and get out of
bed.
"I Wish I Knew."
I dashed cold water over my face
and neck, held my wrists under the
icy flpw from the faucet, and finally
was able to shake myself into wake
fulness. Then I dressed and went
downstairs to find Lillian already
down, looking .is bright and alert as
if she had had her regular quota of
sleep.
"1 wish I knew bow you do it," I
said peevishly.
"Do what?" Lilian returned ab
sently. "Oh, you mean how I man

it's simply because I happen to be

She spoke only the truth. I well
knew what reaction of weakness,

In every way ! could. But even at
the thought came to me I laui;hrd
sardonically to myself at the idea of
any one trying to conserve Lillian's
strength, for 1 remember I'uky's

"When old Lil hat her to the
ground on any job," he once lud aid.
"you might as well try to get his

"Well!" Lillian's tone hrld amine,
nirnt and a touch of impatience. "It

I flushed with pleasure at her com

not thrill at a tribute to her coffee
making and followed Lillian to the
kitchen, working briskly with her un
til we sat down to an appetizing
breakfast of late melons, colfee, toast,
and poarhed crrs. But I alone dis
cussed the breakfast. Lillian drank
three cups of coffee, nibbled a piece
of toast, and declared herself ready
for anything.
"Let's get back to the living-room,"
she said. "If I don't mistake Tom
Chester's energy, he'll shortly appear
with the dignified Mr. Brings in tow."
And we had scarcely reached the
living-room when Tom Chester's
knock sounded upon the door.
Darken Tan Shoes.
If when buying brown shoes the
color is too light and one hesitates
to purchase on this account, it may
be remedied by rubbing with a cloth
dipped in ammonia, allowing the
leather to dry in between whiles, and
repeating the process. It secures a
nice dark tan both quickly and ef-
tectively.
