Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX I SHALL SHE MARRY HIMf j DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: i 1 have been going about with a I young man for about a year. We | were both employed in the same office. At first we were merely good pals. He 1 told me he loVed me. but 1 wouldu't , allow myself to think of him in a seri ous way. as I am 39 and he is 29. I | know lie has no idea of my age. as no ■ one ever takes me to be more than I 25. I'm of a viry happy disposition. I This young man was called to the ! colors, was injured in France and is I now on his way home. 1 love him I dearly and could never be happy with anyone else. Do you think there is too much difference in our ag£s? On that account I wouldn't marry him I before he went away. DISCOURAGED. The next time the question of mar riage comes up between you. don't you think you should tell your age to this young man. as you would tell him anything else about yourself? Then you can both think the question over and discuss it. Ten years' difference in age need not necessarily'bc a bar rier to marriage if the lovers are suit ed to each other in every other re spect. HAS WAITED FIVE YEARS DFAU MISS FAIRFAX: I have been going about with a young man for the past- five years, lie is now a soldier in France. I wrote and asked him if he intended to marry me upon his return. His reply was that he hnd'not made up his mind yet. My mother tells me he has taken up the best years of nty life. Will you kindly tell me what to do?. . RUTH. The wisest thing for you to do is to try not to think of this young man as a lover any longer. This isn't easy, of course. But no girl wants a re luctant lover. So do your best not, to be bitter beaeusa. f this exjpei it ence, and bravelygo \o iriwUtheAiexT' Interesting relationship that life may offer you. HOW CONVINCE HERf DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 2T, good position, considered handsome, neat in appearance and well dressed. I am engaged to a woman of 20. Recently she met a sailor who has been, paying very much attention to her. When I invit ed her to go out with me, she refused and said she was going out with" a man in uniform. She has called me a | slacker for claiming exemption, but i T assure you it is not my fault, as T | have a mother depending upon me for support. I would like very much tW prove to her that T am not what she brands me as being, and that I still love her. Will yoti please let me know which Is the "best way to con vince her? JACQUES. I know that a great many girls have been unjust to men in the same way that yftur sweetheart lias, and they have. T am sure, the mistaken belief that their kindness Is a form of patriotism. Since this girl is so much younger, you can be tolerant of her caprices, and if I were you I would nttempt one more long talk with her. making it plain to her that she has no reason to accuse you. She will no doubt, find that she loves you as much as ever. HARRISBT7RO g&l&g TELEOHXFH Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax There arte many lookers-on at love who believe that It Isn't wise for a young man to marry a woman older than himself. I'm not speaking, of course, of a slight discrepancy in age, a mere matter of a year or so. But It is, I confess a point for debate whether a boy of twenty, for example, should love and link himself for life to the woman who has reached thirty. The conventional notion is that a bride should be a year or two younger than her husband. And as u girl usually matures more rap idly thnn a boy, this is equivalent to the lovers being of the same age. As a matter of fact, it is more natural for youths and maidens to bo attracted by their age equals. Youth calls to youth. Those of a common age speak a common lan guage and use symbols drawn from funds of similar experience. For the average young man and woman this is the whole story. These feel no conflicting attraction, they don't have any serious prob lems, and their relatives and friends don't meet in panicky groups to discuss whether a little purely benevolent sand shall not be thrown In the wheels of the too madly run ning love machine. But it's the exceptional case that I'm speaking of. The case of the youth who has grown up faster than his years. Very likely he has an artistic leaning. He's thought ful and a devourer of books, but he's immensely curious, too, about life. He has plenty of friends among girls of his own age. He has even fancied himself in love with one or two. But he does And them juvenile and just a bit insipid, and tjie gifts he mainly -*#ants from life they can't begin to give hint. Then comes the older woman's turn. And if she's the right kind of woman, if she has wisdom and judgment and charm, she cap teach her young lover more than he can learn In any other way. It's like going to the University of Para dise, with a hundred separate courses of enchantment. Of course the enraptured student can't endure that there shall be an end of this. He wants nothing less than to marry "his wise and lovely teach©*., and live in utter bliss afterwftrd. It's at tHis point that frien-js ad advisers step in. The boy is warned that he'll ruin his life, that marriage with an older woman is unnatural and sure to be disastrous. The woman is told that she's tak ing an unfair advantage. And they try to frighten her with the prophecy that before her lover has spent his hot-blooded youth, she'll begin to feel draughts, and be con scious that her eyesight is failing. It's by no means easy to marry in the face of so much opposition. If they do, it's for the best of reasons in the world—that they're pro foundly in love and can't do without each other. Love Alone Matters And to my mind, this is the only point that matters, anyway. If genuine love springs up be tween a man and a woman, this one wonderful fact does away with all inequalities. Inequalities of social place, of talent, of experi ence—yes, even of age. If love is real, I ain sufficiently a believer in Wts magic to trust the mere time -of ten years' disparity th age to take care of itselt. Indeed, I even go farther than this. I believe that for certain tem peraments marriage where the wife is older than the husband has a positive advantage. There's a type of man, or of boy, who instinctively reaches out for a woman who shall be much more to him than pride—who shall,be friend, tutor, even, in a certain * a mother. , , , He isn't interested in the job of dominating a pliant young bride who will make a point of knowing onlv what he teaches her. He wants, if not exactly to be dominated himself, at least to be inspired, and sheltered, and nour ished with a large, dynamic love. And don't you think that the woman who does all this for • her youthful husband is sure to find deep happiness in doing it? Its rather a complicated business to be a wife under these conditions. It demands skilled labor. And such a laborer isn't at all likely to get boned. Every woman who loves a man feels somewhat of the mother-urge toWard him, whatever their ages may be. In cases where she s definitely older, this element of her love becomes more apparent. But it's.only an element even then, lor if the twd are mother and son to each other in the morning they are friends and comrades at noon and purely lovers at evening. Is Her Beauty Failing? I've watched such marriages. And I've found them remarkably suc cessful. Because a wife of this sort gives her husband so much that is real, he isn't watching to see whether the rose of her cheek has ever so slightly faded. I beliete he isn't even aware when it does fade She's painfully conscious of It herself, This is a poign ant little anxiety that an older wife has to bear. "Has he noticed .' she asks herself as she loks in the mirror: "Will he notice? Will he love me less?" Doubtless love marriages some times occur when there Is consid erably more disparity of age than in those I have been Bpeaking of. But I don't feel that any general law' can be based on cases which are so rare. ' Just because the Baroness • Bur dett-Coutts, for Instance, after she had become an old lady, horrified and estranged her life-long friend, Queen Victoria, by marrying a youth in his twenties, I shouldn t think it necessary to beg ail well-pre served grandmothers not to capti vate college boys. It's true that this particular marriage was a success, and that after ten years of it the thoroughly reconciled Queen re stored the Baroness to favor. But h shouldn't just on that account believe that many, or even a few aged ladies were justified in marry ing young husbands. And don't think I am even urging thirty-year olds, in general to try to marry boys of twenty, Just be cause I have favorably of certain marriages of this type. What I have tried to make plain is. that for some youths and some women this arrangement is natural, instinctive, wholesome ana ,° es ' r " able. But they find It out for them selves. And the others will make a serious mistake if they try to Imi tate them. It's a destiny that may be accepted without fear if it seeks you out. But it surely won t work well if you attempt to court It. "Don't try for an unusual mar riage. But don't be afraid of It, If it '" love's sanction. - ~ Picture of Ex-Kaiser's • Brother-in-Law KSU.N-CK FRESfL^ICJt A late photograph of Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse, broth er-in-law of ex-Kaiser Wllhelm.

Advice to the Lovelorn WANTS TO KEBP GIFTS DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 18. and have been keeping company with a man about four yeara Imy senior. He gave me a diamond lavaliere and a bracelet studded with diamonds and several other nice pres ents. He- was drafted and sent to camp, and while he was there I fell in love with another. My soldier boy came back on furlough, and called at my house, but I refused to see him. Now, should I give the soldier his presents back or should 1 keep them?. E. E. But, my dear girl, have you never realised that you lack a heart? You must by all means return the soldier's presents to him. And don't you think you ought at least to have seen him, when he came to your house, if only to tell him that you had found you did not love him? It must be that you are not old enough yet to have come to an understanding of what love means. Middietown Mrs. A. G.
