Dear Miss Grey: Why is II that

men Of bad habits and discourage
decent men7 DO you think Il fair
that most OF the decent men have

you why Is a hcny' or How Is a

the cream does come from the
dance hall aud the booze cafe: the
froth may. but not the cream. Have
you ever noticed how fascinating
man OF this bad" style makes
himself Well. IL You men who are
decent would only stir yourselves
and make yourselves entertaining
IN a good way. II would help solve
this problem. The present system
of mating Is dcplorablc. and you
men can do equally as much TO
