Advice to the Lovelorn
Has a Frieiul
Dear Miss Fairfax: '
My girl friend, who is not very
attractive but well liked by her
friends, two years ago met a young
man whom she fell 'dearly in love
with. Since then She has seen him
once a week. But he has paid no
more attention to her than to the
rest or our girl friends.
Now. Miss Fairfax, my friend does
nothing else but think of him. Dur
ing business hours she is distracted
by the thought of him: She tried
to read and think of other impor
tant things. She went to evening
school to help her forget. But none
of these things have helped her.
1 want toilielp her, but I don't
know what to do. 1 know the young
man very well and am convinced
through conversation that he doesn't
dislike iter, but is simply unaware of
her feelings. She does not show
what she feels when she is in his
company, though she is verv liappv
then. A FRIEND.
1 must admit that 1 share your
feeling tli'at this is a very difficult
situation to remedy, however much
you wish to help your friend. The
utmost that you could do. I should
say, is bring her and the young man
together, though, of course, not too
pointedly. Invite them to your house
with a group of others, it. is quite
possible that he would come to care
for her if lie knew her better. That
is, of course, if iiis affections are
not already engaged. In any case,
a genuine love-experience is an en
viable means oi development for
tliis girl, liven tNougli her love
should not be returned.
\ Deferred Engagement
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am eighteen and have been
going about with a man of thirty
four for about two years. A month
before peace was announced be told
me that he would marry me as soon
as the war was over. So when the
news came I thought it most natural
for Us to be engaged. Going lioine
from the theater, 1 suggested this.
He said lie could give no definite
answer at 1 lie moment, because my
people dislike him. But he asked
me to be reasonable with him and
allow him two weeks to think it
over, after Which he would call me
up and let me know the result.
1 was astonished at this and told
him if he could not decide within
two years lie surely could not within
two weeks. I also said 1 would tell
my people that everything was over
between us, but he asked me not to
do this, saying that after all it was
not his decision but my own. Now,
Miss Fairfax, if he writes me, do
you-think that I should answer him
or trust him after such an act'.'
11. X.
As you have told this story, I con
fess it does not sound as though this
man were eager for marriuge. If I
were you 1 would try to put him out
of my mind as far as possible. No
girl wishes an unwilling bridegroom
and a spirited girl cannot of course
tolerate being placed in the position
of waiting for a man's decision. In
any case. I feel that you are still
too young to marry.

TIE UP SERVICE
IN N.Y. HARBOR
War Labor Board Says II Has
Exhausted All Efforts
at Settlement
By Associated Press
New York, Jan. 9.—Except for a!
I small fleet of ferryboats, tugs and
| lighters engaged in debarkation of
homecoming troops and loading of
perishable supplies for the American
Expeditionary Forces, harbor ship
ping was at a standstill to-day as the
result of the strike of 15,000 marine
workers in an attempt to force arbi
tration of their demands for higher
wages and an eight-hour day.
Not only privately-owned craft
but the boats of the Railroad Ad
ministration, 1,200 in number, were
I tied tip and the sailing or berthing
j of ocean steamships, as well as the
| ferrying of passengers between Man
i hat to n and its neighboring boroughs
| and suburbs was impossib e.
Only Two lloats Operate
| Suspension of ferry service left
Staten Island, New York City's great
■ mid-harbor borough, completely iso
j lated except for two small boats op-'
crating to and from Perth Aniboy,
on the New Jersey shore, and
launches able to carry only small
groups of passengers. From New-
Jersey and Long Is and the only ac
cess to New York was byway of the
East river bridges and the subways
land tunnels under the East and
I North rivers, in which trains were
j crowded and entrances choked witli
'delayed travelers throughout the day.
Reroutes Commuters
j The Railroad Administration re-
I routed New Jersey commuting trains
j in an effort to relieve the congestion
! after the closing of the ferries. West
| Shore passengers were sent to the
i Erie terminal at Jersey City, afford
| ing connection with the Hudson
[ tubes, and travelers on the Central
1 Railroad of New Jersey front points
beyond Elizabeth were transferred
I there to Pennsylvania trains, running
! direct to the tunnels. However,
j nearby Jerseynten using the Central
i were detrained at the ferry terminal
1 and were forced to Journey over
| a mile afoot or in crowded trolley
I cars to the under-river railroad.
i At all the New Jersey and Eong
Island ferry barns long lines of
'trucks, many of them laden with per
! ishable foodstuff's for New York
I markets, awaited a change in, the
; situation which might land them in
I the streets of the metropolis. The
I tieup left New York with a limited
j stock of fresh foods, and the milk
'supply, already seriously curtailed
! by the "strike" of the New Jersey
' Dairymen's League, was further
I threatened when shipments front

I limited supply which the city's stor
t age facilities can accommodate, also
| was suspended.

Life's Problems
Are Discussed
A woman has written me a long
! letter asking me to explan why a
; certain fate has seemed to pursue
j her through life. She suys in effect
j that since childhood she has, as it
| were, been carefully "censored." In
; other words, her life lias been made
• miserable by .constant fault-finding
I and criticism from those most close
j ly associated with her.
I At first it was an older sister who
, tyrannized over her unmercifully.
She had a brief respite when she
' went to school, and there found her
self in a much more congenial ut
niosphere. Her natural g&yety of
temperament asserted itself and she
j made many friends. But when she
I invited them to her home, Older Sis.
I tor respited it and made her disap
| proval of them felt. She made sar
-1 castle comments or. their dress, man
j ners end conversation, and treated
them with si oh supercilious conde
' sccnsion that riiey were careful not.
• to repeat their visits.
The mother, who was completely
under the influence of Older Sister,
I refused to interfere, and poor little
| Cinderella was gradually ignored by
j those to whom she had become at
i tached. She was rich in money, in
| youth, in health and good looks; yet
■ very poor in friends and companions.
The situation become worse as she
I became older and attracted suitors,
j Then Older Sister, who must have
j been a frightful character, cut loose.
| She was so frankly rude that it took
more courage than most suitors pos
j sessed to continue their attentions.
| There was one, however, who
seemed positively to enjoy bandying
j sarcasms 'With her. He came again
■ and again, quite undaunted by Sis-
I ter's vile manners. And the hero
j ine of this true story was so thrilled
j by his courage that she married him.
Here all should have ended hap-
I pily. But this is stern realism, not
I romance. The poor lady writes that
| she had been married hut a short
! time when she discovered that Hus
j band was only a masculine replica
j of Older Sister, and that in this case,
| anyway, the female of the species
I was not more deadly than the male.
He Criticized everything she did
and everything she said. He con
demned her for all the things she
didn't do and didn't say. If I can
judge by her letter, the poor soul
never knew which were the greater,
her sins of omission or her sins of
commission.
In fact, it would appear that If
Older Sister were a talented nagger,
Husband soared far above her and
proved himself a genius In that line.
Finally lie died, but he left Ills un
fortunate wire a legacy in the shape
of an invalid mother-in-law, from
whom he evidently inherited his
powers of flinging verbal vitriol. The
writer adds that she has become so
self-conscious, constrained and shy
that it is no longer any pleasure for
her to mingle with her fellow beings
and that she would never dare con
sider the question of a second mar
riage.
It lias always seemed to me that
the theory of reincarnation is the
only one that satisfactorily explains
ilie injustices and inequalities of
life. If this theory is true, both
Husband and Older Sister will spend
long ages in paying their debts to
tliis victim of their bitter and un
disciplined natures.
There seems to he some law that
the gentle and sensitive man or
woman invariably chooses as a life
companion one of those robust fiends
whose main purpose is to make
those about them miserable.
This woman might have spared
herself much suffering if when she
had arrived at years of discretion
she had had one grand, formal row
with Older Sister. Rows, like every
thing else, have their psychology. A
succession of informal ones, like
familiarity, breed contempt. Your
opponent sometimes comes out
ahead, and sometimes you do. But
one carefully staged, formal row—
one crowded hour of glorious strife
is almost invariably efficacious.
If my correspondent had said to
her sister. "This is my home Just as
much as it is yours. I have just as
much right to receive my friends
here and make them welcome as
you have to receive yours. And
while they are here I do not.propose
io allow you to make them !1! Nt
ense or unhappy by your offensive
manners.
' If you were offering me kindly
advice in a sisterly spirit I should
appreciate it. But you are not. Yfu
are merely making me the victim ot
your censorious nature, and you can
not do It. From now on until you
show a change of heart and treat
me and my friends with proper
courtesy T shall utterly Ignore you.
I shall not even know that you
I have considered the matter from
all standpoints and this is my unal
terable attitude."
