IAN ORDINARY n. Y. BOY"
Another young man voices similar
sentiments In burst Of melody. but
unlike the previous contributor he has
not found his ideal. for he sings:
Where La the girl OF long ago,
30 simple and SO sweet.
That made all men do homage
And worship at her feet?
Whose nose was free from powder,
Whose fair cheeks knew no paint.
Whose life was pure and noble,
With thoughts fit for a saint?
Shes gone from us at present,
But may return some day,
When mothers will come back to earth,
And lead her on her way"

1t must have been perceived from the
many contributions Of young men and
women to this discussion that there ex-
lists wide difference between the mas
| cuine ideal as the young men state II
and as the young girls interpret II.
Now. are the young men hypocrites, or
do the young women misJudge them
when they say that a girl who dresses
| quietly Is a walifiower2
Here ~ what two very intelligent girls
have to say on the subject:

paint, powder or use rats or wear
freaky clothes. lie is just the kind of

HIS friends consider 1t smart. The girls
dress to attract the attention OF men, II
the men would ignore these girls they
might wake up to the truth.

SAYS SHE PAINTS AND POW.
DERs AND Is ATTRACTIVE.
Dear Madam-I am sixteen and a
stenographer. Naturally see things"
No matter what girls say to the con-
trary. they do dress for the attention
they receive ana not COR themselves
alone. Why not? 1t Is human to want
admiration ana you get It when you
dress stylishly. Why not make the best
OF tho charms nature has been so good
~ to bestow upon you? IL the young
men don't like II why do they give all the
attention to the girl HASTILY dressed? Why
not give 1t to the girl plainly dressed?
She doesn't receive It, / do not believe
In exaggerated clothes, but do believe
In using paint when l am very pale and
powder always. but l assure you my
face never looks as II II were kalso-
mined. I am considered fascinating and
attractive and receive "A lot OF attention.
