WHAT THEY SAY OF WRESTLING GIRLS.
DEAR CONVERSATION CLUB: My opinion is the
same as Neal Forests to girls whlstling. Let
them whistle if they can. Miss Dorle, keep on
practicing L am Orderly Sergeant OF George H.
Thomas Camp, Sons OF Veterans, and would like
letters-L. T. Schnid, lilS Market ST., ST. Louis Mo-
DEAR CONVERSATION CLUB: L agree with Neal
Forrest to girls whisling love TO whistle, and
think girls all ought 10 know how although II they
ali look as conlcai as do when whistle, 1t would
not be safe for them to whistle where any one could
see them. Madage Lee is just splendid. On the
work question the boys and girls are both right
and both wrong. The sexes are about equally d.
vded when it comes to this. As for myself don't
like to do houseworS any better than the next girl
but guess do about as much as any of the rest of
! the girls but as am one of the gr.s who do do
! something / must stop writing and go and scrub
| the kitchen.-A. NJ. e., Box 80, Cherokee, Kan
MADGE LEES ALLIES

CANDID OPINIONS FROM OHIO GIRLS.
DEAR CONVERSATION CLUB: We admire Madge
Lee for her opinion upon style. Let people talk as
!. they WILL who wouldn't prefer style to " dowd-
ness?" Our papa soldier in the late war;
| also uncle. Our grandpa served in the Mexican
war; great grandfather III the war OF ISL, and
both great great grandfaihers in the Revolution;
hence, much interested in THE TRIBUNE.
| Most of the letters funny and some cute, but
about the worst we ever read the letter offer
| ing ring TO the original of the handsomest pic
| ture. If some one would offer premium for the
most conceited gentleman in our fair United States,
| the writer would, doubt carry oil the prize
He seems to be but slightly acquainted with the
average American girl.-Minne-Eiaha and Luti.
| Gallipolls y.
ALL OF ONE MIND.
/, for one, think with Madge Lee, that all the
| girls should have as pleasant times as possible
Our city is very beautiful and well supplied with
places of amusement Wish all the c: G. might
| visit it, Who will write MEEK. Cecilia Kelly,
| No. 2S South Ferry street, Dayton, o.
cordial welcome TO Madge Lee. May she come
again. And now, question to the boys and girls
OF the Club: Do you think it is wrong to read
stories, novels, they generally called?-N.
! l. N, Box 80, Neosha, Wis.
like the way Madge Lee talks: wish some of
the c. G. would write me. will discuss fancy
work with the girls and fun with the boys. Father
was private in Duryea's Zouaves; later, served
in the 146tb N V, had his leg taken of at the knee
in battle and was prisoner at Libby.-Nan v.
| Rodgers, Springdale, Me.
| agree with Nudge Lee that girls should have
as pleasant a. life possible. Still every girl
should do some work,-at least know how Our
city is the Soldiers Home and in Summer is

Then. Somebody answers back again
| In larE notes, soft and clear.
| Rosy red grows Somebody's face,
| And Somebody asks " Is it you?"
And Somebody arm gets out of place,
| And Somebody's mouth does, too.
Somebody's smoothing somebody's hand.
Asking, " Can Somebody wait ?"
| Somebody loses all self command,
| And abscntly asks. Is il late?"
| Somebody steps from a bush near by;
| In Somebody's hand is strap;
| Somebody yells as she turns to fly:
| "Oh, jimmny gosh its papi"
