Dear Miss Grey: l can't
refrain from telling you
what a grand work you are
doing. OF course / am aware
you fully understand your
work; but l want you to
know that many of us men
CD give your writings great
thought.
Miss Grey, if girls would
conduct themselves right men
could not get into conversa-
ton with them. I've been
turned down SO cold by good
girls that / wouldn't dare
lock their way again; so, it's
up to the girls to give the
"freshies"' the icy stare. They
should not. laugh, as that
makes them smile, and con-
versation commences, and he
finally wins her.
I've been girl-catcher,
and I'm sorry for it now.
In fact, / am now helping the
poor girls to see better
way, and to learn what the
letters FUTURE spell.
Miss Grey, warn the girls
to ask assistance of. some
kind when a fellow begins to
stare, and SHUN him entire
ly. They CAN do 1t, and it's
no trick either. I'm trying to
reform, and l always read
your good work. May God
help us both. TAINTED.
Al thank you for your let
ter, and agree with you that no
girl need encourage q man who
stares. As you say, If they will
resent or ignore it in the start 1t
Is easy.
] remember / was once compel1-
ed by business to stay in a hotel
for two weeks. A man who sat
At table near deliberately turned
and stared at me. When 1 found
t was not accidental I as deliber-
ltely turned and stared back,
with calm, questioning look in
my eyes that asked plainly, "Just
what do you mean?" He couldn't
stand my unwavering look long,
but dropped his eyes. Needless to
say, 1 finished my stay without
further annoyance.
But, isn't 1t too bad that n girl
must do these things? Isn't it a
pity that men should make IL nee
You have made a turn. Keep
to it; but in addition to helping
girls, try to show your own sex
where they are wrong. Its a
poor rule that won't work both
ways" and this is one of them. III
all women repulsed the men all
would be good. And If all men
themselves so that no
girl need repulse them, it would
be equally goods
Get that tainted idea out OF
your mind, and never again put q
question mark after man. Those
are destructive thoughts. What
you want is to think CONSTRUC.
TIVE thoughts always. Again,
thank you.
q Dear Miss Grey: Is there
a law preventing women
wearing Chinese pheasants
on their hats in the cities?
M. L. v.

state preventing the killing and
of any game bird, and
the pheasant is classed as ''game."
Dear Miss Grey: Kindly
tell me If Mr.. Julian Eltinge
is married? And how old is
he? I saw him about IL
years ago in vaudeville, and
he looked just the same as he
does now. LIZZIE GREY.
A.-Julian Eltinge's manager
'ays he is not married, and he
says he is not. He was born in
Boston, Mass, in 1888.
Dear Miss Grey: / want
to say a word of apprecia-
tion for the beautiful work
you are DOING. nave chill
dren, and the dearest wish of
my heart is that they may
grow up to be men and
women like you. If a father
can do it, 1 will make them
such.
1 believe that parents
don't keep close enough to
their children, or allow their
children to come close
enough to them. If they did
there would be no occasion
for the fear that wronged
and broken-hearted feel.
A READER.
A.-You are mighty right. BY
ar too many look upon their
children as they do their furni-
ure-to be moved when THEY
Iay move-to stop when THEY
'ay stop, and all because THEY
'ay SO. How much better IL the
hid was taught to reason; to see
low picking wrong hurts it; to
each it to use its mind and do
Kings because it is right and the
most sensible things to do certain
Kings.
