companed by his faithful bass violin.

men and women on the ways and Gus
toms Of tiIs New York Johnny:
THE JOHNNY coNTEMNED ~
ONE OF HIS SEX.

Dear Madam: The letter signed
"A Discouraged Girl" is very true.
DO not wish to reflect on my sex. but
in all fairness wish to say that
there is a type-one cannot cnll them
young men--and this type does not
go with girl unless-as was stated
girl Is GAME. What the young
lady says Is absolutely so--this type
expects a big return Just because
they buy her n few meals and prob
ably a few theatre tickets. But there
are thousands OF nice. clean living,
fine young fellows who go with a girl
because they respect her and enjoy
her society. and probably feel as I
do-highly honored-when nice girl
favors me with her society OF an
evening. 1t Is unfortunate that q
Girl encounters the other type.

And now we are beginning to hear
from the married men and women on
the Johnny" question. Thursdays
mail brought me an astounding letter
from New York husband. a letter
written in reply to "A Discouraged
Girl" and in its way as candid and
sincere as hers. Yesterday l received
q letter, signed "A Faithful Wife"
which am sure will furnish food for
thought II not for repentance to such
married men as have become stepped
in the materialism which is some
times called the New York spirit"
But let us read the letters and then
consider how much Is true in each
and how much is vital to the Drob.
