to have a special bent toward men of a
certain one profession? Perhaps you've
never bothered yourself about. IL, but 1t

has charms which attract only men OF some
especial nature, or whether girls have M

a peculiar trait of character, / cannot say,
but the fact remains that nine cases out of

as you wish. The first case that comes
TO my mind Is a young woman who, at

community over her fiirtations with a gay

she happens TO go out of town on a weeks
visit she is sure TO develop symptoms of
pneumonia before she had been gone from
