the records of any man and
he should be made to bal

ity that he has placed against
your life. past and present.

A YOUNG MAN. :
Dear Miss Grey: Just let
me say word as to the
right or wrong of kissing be-
fore being engaged. I can
say with an honest convic-
ton for my part, that in my
opinion IL a youny lady
wishes a young man to form
a stronger manly attachment
for her, why what is more
natural than to let him kiss
her goodnight.
/ do not believe that right
thinking young man would
think any less of her, l am
heartily in favor of happiness
of youth in the right spirit.
/ certainly think none the
less of my lady friend for
letting me kiss her and my
young bachelor friend think
likewise.
ANOTHER GEORGE.
Dear Miss Grey: In regard
to the much talked of kiss
ing question l wish to say
that / do not believe that
there is any harm in any
girl giving her boy friend
good night kiss.
II girl can't Judge a
roughneck from a gentleman
then she has no business to
be out with him.
Every one of us has been
kissed more or less ever
since we were an hour old, so
it comes quite natural A
kiss is the very first thing
we can remember, so why
make such a fuss about a
thing we have been taught
from infancy.
for one don't believe that
a decent young man will
think less of you IL you give
him a kiss or two after you
have known him for some
time. FORTY-FIVE.
Dear Miss Grey: have
been reading some of the an
swers to Just &c." to some
/ agree and to some ! do not.
What is the matter with
the people, anyway? They
seem to think that we young !,
men have no reputation to
lose. If we have no reputa-
ton we had better rustic
around and make one, but as
long as the women will en-
dure this double standard,
just so long they may.
l have kissed a few girls
good night but have never
lost my respect for them.

ONE WHO KNOWS.

Dear Miss Grey: In my
mind and in printed answers
to Just 16" 1t apparently is
an established fact that the
man of today loses respect
for the girl, who, before en-
gagement, grants him a kiss
or other liberties.
To me, morally and men,
tally, man is by far our weak
er sex and the above is only
his admission of the fact,
showing disappointment and
fear that the girl has sunk
to his low standard of ideals,
even though he be the tempt
er.
1t is up to the girls of to-
day to remedy this double
standard evil which has exist
ed so long. Man wants only
a pure, trustworthy girl for
a life partner-do not grant
him this Joy unless he can
show you a slate just as
clean. Through the medium

good, but 1t seems that for
him to take advantage of her
