To the Editor Of Womdn'S Page;
Dear Madam young girl met man ten
years her senior whom she had reason 10 believe
was a gentleman. He called upon her and sug
gested that they go downtown and have some
thing to eat. She told him she did not go
downtown at night TO dine. He then suggested
that they have q 'bracer.' She refused, and
shortly atterward gave him very cool good
night. The girl was much disappointed, and
also hurt think she gave the Impression of
who swept aside the conventions and used
utoSicRuts. Please give me your opinion. Was
she narrow aud urudshI JANICE.
l think the girl quite right to take
the stand she did, and the man. If he is of
the right sort, will respect her all the
more, But in refusing such an invitation
she should be very taCtfu and not assume
hurt, offended air The man probably
was only trying to be nice.
