TN T nVE WITH TWO GIRLS Fairs “
Which of Two
Should He
Choose
By Beatrice Fairfax
' An Authority on the Problems of
Love and Marriage
Tbung men are just as earnest
and. conscientious in their efforts
to solve” problems of love ana
romance as any girl can be. If
you doubt that, I wish you could
glance over the countless letters
1 receive from men. asking how
to find and win the girl or how
Co hold love When it is won.
Michael's difficulty lies in de
ciding which of two girls is the
girl for him. He insists that he
Is in love w’ith both.
Dear ~ Miss Fairfax,” writes
Michael. “I am 23 years of age.
I am in love with two girls.
“One girl—l shall call her Alice
—is of my own religion, the other
—Betty—belongs to another de
nomination. I have no bad habits.
I do not mingle with bad com
pany./ I have no leaning toward
the gaming-table.
"Both girls know all they wish
to know about my character. They
are both of the quiet type, espe
cially Betty. She is 23 or 24. Alice
is 21.
•’I have known Betty all my
Use. but only slightly. I enjoyed
a wonderful evening with her at
a friend’s wedding. Her brother
invited me to dance with her. I
was the only one who did dance
with her. That was about three
months ago and haven’t seen
her since.
—>“l met Alice several years ago
at church. I asked to call, byt
she told me she was going about
with another young man —a friend
of mine. He married another girl
•even months ago. When I learned
that, > wrote Alice, asking to see
her. She replied that her mother
did not approve of her going out,
and that if I had a message for
—her it would be best to write.
“I replied that her letter was
not encouraging. She did not an
swer my reply. Since then I
have called on her many times.
Sometimes she seems to care for
me, other times she is indifferent.
"I cannot understand her. She
seems dissatisfied with everything.
She is unhappy because her par
ents will not give up their busi
ness location and move to a resi
dential section of the city. She
seems to have everything her own
way. Her parents are very good
to me.
“Sometimes I wonder whether
•he will ever get over this indif
ference, or whether it Is just her
way. Perhaps she is lot
Os fun with me.
“I often wonder whether I
should drop both girls. One is of
a different religion, the other
thinks she can play with a fel
low's feelings.
“Summing up the whole snarl,
it is my contention that Betty
-will make a better wife because
•he Is more affectionate and dis
creet. I have enjoyed writing this
letter because it has helped me to
understand my problem better
and I know you will throw still
more light on the subject.’’
You hit upon a very deep truth.
Michael, in the last sentence of
your letter. It does help in solv
ing a problem to write it out.
That clears your own thought and
analyzes the difficulty, often sug
gesting the solution. I am con
vinced that every girl or young
man who writes this column is
helped just by writing out the
difficulty, regardless of the re
ply.
You are fond of both Alice and
Betty, my friend. You admire and
like both and are attracted to
each. But you are not as yet in
love with either. For being In
love implies that one girl means
more to a man than any other

Correct Manners
DEAR MR2. BEECKMAN:
Tour column has been ex
tremely Interesting and helpful to
me and I wish you would be kind
enough to answer a few ques
tions.
1. We learned in school to put
a comma after each item on the
extreme right in the heading, and
I have always tried to be very
careful about them, but my sis
'ter says she is being taught not
to use them. Now, which is
really correct?
2. Is there any rule for the
color of ink used in letter-writ
ing? 1 suppose conservative col
ors are best in ink as wpll as
letter paper. -Are they not? If
that Is the case my violet ink is
“out.”
3. What I really want to ask
you is a problem that certainly
has me muddled. Well—not quite
that, but I would like advice on
the matter. When I was 10 my
mother married again (my father
died), and after a while she had

That home cooking Is not
dying out but is actually on the
increase is revealed by Milo Has
tings in “Your Home Magazine.”
“In New York city,” he writes,
“and I presume in other cities as
well, there is a decrease in board,
ing houses and a corresponding
increas in small living apart
ments at least some sort of ges
ture at a kitchen, even though it
may be little more than a cup
board in the wall. Not only
families now demand kitchens hut
unmarried women and men de
mand them also. “But," he ad
mits. "the old art of heavy, long
houred. all-day cooking is a dying
art. To cook or not to cook has
become very much an optional
matter. The rise of the delicates
sen store, the Increasing popu
larity of canned goods, the raw
food diet, have all contributed to
lessening the long hours over the
kitchen range.”

pleats for graceful fullness.
Plain color and plaid gingham,
IQien, pique or cotton crepe are
smart for this frock. Red,

attractive colored buttons add a

abbreviations permissible? R. G.
Either is correct, but the. form
that your sister is being taught
—“open punctuation”—is the gen
erally accepted one nowadays.
This means that we omit the
marks of punctuation from the
ends of the lines on the envelope
and in the heading of the letter.
Now it is accepted as the best
form not to use abbreviations (ex
cept, of course, the necessary
ones like “Mr.” and “Mrs.”) on
the envelope and in the heading,
and, therefore, we really don’t
need the marks of punctuation at
the ends of the lines.

3. This is a problem for you.
dear girl, and I am very sym
pathetic with your difficulty,
which is a real one. But you
are right—it must be done now,
before you are older. And you
are the one to decide. Since you
have made your decision, I recom
mend that you carry out your
change of name at once. You
might write to your friends and
explain to them just what you are
going to do.
I would suggest, too, that you
have some visiting cards made
with your new name on them, and
in your note- v> might enclose
these. Os you will talk
the matter over first, very
frankly and graciously with both
jour mother and your step-father,

unless the available space really
makes this necessary.

RECIPES FOR
SALADS
By Hannah Wing—
To make salad appetising and
refreshing* everything must .be
crisp, fresh and well chilled. Ths
real greens are freshened in cold
or ice water, well drained in a
salad basket or bag. and left in
the refrigerator to chill, either
wrapped or covered.
The new solid lettuce is attrac
tive if cut across in slices—one
slice to a serving. Endive make®
entertaining rings if cut across
the stalk.
The greens are dressed just be
fore serving with a French dress
ing, the leaves are tossed and
turned so that the dressing covers
and flavors each piece.
On the other hand, marinating
(standing in French dressing for
an hour or so) improves the vegw
tables before the final combining
and serving with French, mayon
naise or boiled dressing.
Whatever the dressing and
whatever the salad, the flavor of
onion or garlic is the final touch,
not enough to be recognised, but
enough to round out the flavor.
The bowl may be rubbed with the
onion, or a piece of bread rubbed
with onion tossed with the salad,
or a whole onion pricked with a
fork and thoroug/Jy stirred in the
dressing.
■ Dressing for Green Salads
Livers of ‘ 2 chickens, boiled;
yolks of 2 hard cooked eggs; 1
teaspoon prepared mustard, %
teaspoon salt, % teaspoon white
pepper, 3 tablespoons red wine

SAFETY FOR
j~ SWIMMERS
Swimming is considered one at
the most healthful of all sports.
Yet many lives are lost each
season because swimmers do not
observe the ordinary safety rules.
Some of the most important com
mon sense rules for safe swim
ming are: Don’t swim right after
eating—wait two hours. Don’t
swim while overheated. Stop
swimming before you are ex
hausted. .Be sure the water is
deep enough before you dive. If
caught in a swift current or un
dertow don’t struggle; the current
will take you to the surface, and
at that moment you should be
ready to strike out.-’ Many In
fectious and communicable dis
eases are transmitted in pools and
other swimming places. They in
clude typhoid fever, colds, pink
eye and skin, ear and throat in
fections. Thus people who are
not well should not go into a
pool. Everyone should be mads
to take a shower before entering
the water and only clean bathing
suits should be worn.—The Path
finder.
