There Is no use pointing out to you a

Der that when you do meet him you

~ a whim OF mine never to go
~ anywhere with him again as
long as / lived.
Any man who will firt with girls on
the street, especially when he has one
girl with him. is a cad of the lowest
type.
He's a vain. silly, ill-mannered Spoor,
and how you can be simply crazy
about him. or any one like him, makes

At any rate, do not lower yourself by

Dear l.. W. E.: II isn't a very ter

natural, and even an occasional supper
at a cafe isn't a real crime II you go
with other girls and behave yourself
while you are there. But the trouble
with that sort of thing is that when
you get the habit it Is hard to break.
After a while it is no fun. but you go
