He has treated me for six years or more and will not accept a fee. Would it be proper for me to give him a gift? Can you. Miss Fairfax, tell me any way to win his affection without being j bold? M. L. W. You might send this physician a i plant at Easter time. This is merely a trifling return of the services he has | rendered you. But too many roman tic girls imagine themselves in love I with their doctors. This is probably ! due to the fact that a physician shows sympathy and understanding to his, patients in a professional capacity, i and that highstrung feminine emo-1 tionalism reads something personal, in it. Make up your mind that you are merely one of many patients to this doctor. TRY TO DO RIGHT Dear Miss Fairfax: I am deeply in love with a young i man two years my senior. We have j been going about for the ppst year secretly on account of our different j creeds. I am sure that if my parents ! knew of this courtship they would com- j pel me to break it. This would make me unhappy forever. Now, do you j think that we would do wrong to j marry secretly and then reveal it to. our folks? BKB.MCE R. ' Giving up a lover never yet made! any one "unhappy forever," but mak-! ing parents unhappy is very likely to! cause lasting self-reproach. Try to get 1 the consent of your parents to this j marriage. In any event do not make j the mistake of being secretly married \ Secret marriages never come out well,' and marriages between people of widely different creeds are in them- j selves rather dangerous.
