however, to impart some useful infor-

feelers. And that is just what they
are on a girl. They are the little ways
and means by which she feels about

They are precious little feelers be-
cause they send the message to a girls
heart. They are the heralds of love
And it's just as right and natural for
a girl to have feelers-and to use them
as 1t is for bugs. 49,
