"Fussing" is college slang
which is creeping into the verna-
cular.
The word Is particularly often
sive to very nice mothers who
confuse it with "spooning," al
though it denotes something more
refined than that. They also
dread it as STEADY company" but
it denotes nothing half so serious
as that.
"Fussing is paying attention
without intention" according to
a college mans Interpretation.
Mothers, instead of trying to
eliminate the expression from
their daughters vocabularies,
and the experience from their
daughters lives, might better turn
both to their profit.
"FUSSING" MAY GIVE A
GIRL MANY A HEARTBREAK.
The average young woman is
apt to mistake all the symptoms
of first love.
Queer, isn't it, that nature has
not qualified woman to disting-
uish the various degrees of mans
interest, friendship and devotion?
1t upsets all ones theories of evo-
luton to discover that woman,
who so much needs to know the
difference between true love and
false, hasn't developed any intui-

young girl hunts for romance In
the angle of a postage stamp on
an envelope, with which Prince
Charming expresses his gratitude
for a dance.
Woman at any age has an UNI
fortunate ingenuity for confusing
the simple courtesies she receives
from man with the devotion SHE
desires-and thus come half OF
her mistakes in marrying.
Girls have a theory-although
Cupid only knows where they get
it-that ideal love comes early
and lasts forever. Man has nc
such hallucination. Although he
expects to chance sometime on an
eternal love, he doesn't dream
about it every time he takes new

Man takes fussing lightly. He
never intends to be hypocrite,

why doctors are discarding them
