Dear Sir:
For long time I have felt a grow
| ing desire to write to some paper.
and through its kindness call the at
tention of the community to the pc
culiar plight in which the marriage
themselves.
But | hesitate to commence
The right words are not easy to
think of; two or three tives I've
started, but the awful truth in print
looks so shocking, that | kept erasing
and starting it all over again.
Being marriagable young woman
Chat is, comparatively young) it's
a delicate subject for me to handle,
as you'll readily understand
But to get down to brass lacks, the
truth is, that none of the young men
of the town ever ask the girls to
marry.
Now amt it fright.
Not only that-but they won't
even make fuss over u.s. I'm speak
ing for the whole community of un-
married girls, now, and not just for
one or two shelf-worn, moth-eaten
Anticipated old derelicts whom
blind man wouldn't smile at, much
less marry.
I'm no Venus myself.
But I'm no Perfect Fright either.
I'm an American Beauty compared
with some of these spindle-shanked,
cadaverous old skeletons that give
themselves such airs.
/ don't know what the trouble it.
But you know this town is just full
of bachelors-fellows that have eth
er brains or money, l don't mean that
you often find the combination. But
when you've got one, it is a sort of
compensation for the absence of the
other.
And we old girls who are losing
out would be satisfied with modest
amount of either | repeat it, Mister
Editor, something's, wrong with the
Men. They're not stuck up, for some
of them go about without shaving for
week, and flirt with the mattresses
in the restaurants. And l don't think
they're naturally shy and hermit like,
for I've often seen them rush up to
other men and drag 'em into an open
door and talk about having some
thing"
But they just won't pay any atten-
ton to us girls.
Girls here give parties and try
their best to show the boys a good
time; the boys will come, sure they
will, and eat what We fix up for
them; but they never come back
again till there's something more to
eat in sight, or we've framed up a
little dance that won't cost them.
much. They never think of planning
any amusements for us.
l hope the very ones I'm thinking
about will see this, and read it. 1t
will hit the spot" if they do, for
nearly all the boys in town are alike.
This kick don't apply to the calf
love of the high school children.
Puppy love is epidemic there, as it
is in most other schools lin small
towns. The delinquent gentlemen
refer to are the old boys about town
those who work in Offices, have
lawyers cards hanging ON their doors
roll pills, and write copy for news
papers-that's the good-for-nothing
bunch we forlorn maidens have it In
for.
Gee, but they're selfish. But
reckon I've said enough l think
maybe you'll print this; I've noticed
lately that the Daily World has been
printing the news, regardless of peo-
pies corns and the sore spots of old
croakers who think they own the
town, SO maybe you'll give US girls a
chance to say word. l don't know
whether any manageable man will
get enough worked up over this to
answer, but if he does, or if it even
starts them to thinking, I'll have
done my part and not worked in vain.
Yours truly,
