Cynthia Grey's
LETTERS

al am engaged 70 young
fellow and think the world o. him
and he seems 20 think an awful lot
Of me, but for about three months
he has been acting kind OF funny.
He seems 70 think he 10 the oniy
one 20 be pleased. He never sss,su
me 20 90 10 any Of the large shows
or any place that Will cost money.
but Will take me 10 a couple ~
dime shows once or twice week.
He never takes me TO have any re-
Treatments, but when he leaves
me he coca and gets something for
himself, and the same way about
the large ahous or anything that
should happen 20 come. He will 90
once or twice 20 see IL.
am not working, and can't 90
TO see any Of these things, and
certainly would not ask any fellow,
don't care who he is, TO take mo.
suppose II ! we're TO speak 10 him
about these things. he would say,
why. grille, I'm saving my money
TO get married; you know ! am not
earning a large salary"
Now, think he Is selfish, don't
your Oh, Miss Grey, ! think 90
much Of him, and yet, these things
hurt me so badly that ! am never
happy. wouldn't mind II he woul1
stay at home once In while, too.
don't expect him 10 take me to
everything.
Some people have told me that
you write and answer your own let.
tiers, 30 " ! did write I would re-
ceive no answer, but I believe in
you, so please answer this at once.
WAITING.
selhshness is your fances
middle name. Even tho you do
think great deal OF him. you
would be very short-sighted TO
marry him. because the divorce
courts have proved over and over
again that no love IL strong enough
10 endure or survive wanton neg
lect.
You are probably one OF the girls
who will be unhappy II you don't
marry and just as unhappy II you
do. It's up TO you TO anaiyze close
ly your feelings and determine
which unhappiness would be the
greater. then act accordingly.
o. am making painted studies
Of soap bubbles, and ! would like
20 know why they burst. and n
there 10 anything ! can use to make
them stick together longer.
JEssIcA.
A soap bubble Is made up OF
millions OF tiny molecules OF water
which hold together so long a.
the pressure inside the bubble and
outside are the same. But the
balance or equilibrium IL 50 deiS@~
cate that the molecules separate
and the bubble breaks at the least
For instance, A. the
warm breath which fills the bub-
Bile cools. the equilibrium of the
bubble is destroyed. Tycerina
added to the suds will mako strong
bubbles.
o.-supposlnp were wvtsins a
letter TO a relative and wished to
sign my husbands name a. we'll as
mine. which would be the proper
way 10 sign lt--AIice and oeorue,
or George and Ailee7
GRATEFUL.
A.-When speaking OF another
party and yourself. IL is courtesy
TO mention the other persons name
first
al am a young girl Of rs.
cannot swim and am afraid to at
tempt TO learn. My friends nevsr
have succeeded In getting me TO 90
INTO rowbost or a canoe. have
had couple Of nishaps on the
water, and. altho not very serious,
have been afraid OF the water
EVER since.
woman who also fears the wa.
ter told me that she eonsidered
his a warning and that she never

10 launch riding when ii is smooth,
10, Miss Grey, do you think I
should stay away from the water7
BLUE EYES.
Al do not believe in good or
bad omens. Any person who goes
IN the water takes a chance, but
lot more so than those who travel
n trains or autos.
II you really fear the water, you

lot particle OF danger II you have
