HAVEN'T KISSED SINCE 1s

Dear Miss Grey: Just a few
words In answer TO "Ono Who
Wants to Know" cannot really
explain why boy grows tired Of a
glrl when she lets him kiss her,
but they do. Nearly all my friends
that I have talked 10 on this sub
lect say the same thine-"Whst
do care for a girl that allows me
to kiss her Just because ! take her
out to a shown suppose every
body else sho has gone TO a show
with ls allowed the same priv
llege."
l think myself Il Ia silly TO kiss
girl you don't really care for. !
am now % years old and am proud
20 cay that ! haven't kissed any
girl since ! was is and won't un-
I'll am engaged.
Six months ago, before coming
20 this country. | was sailor and
have travelled nearly around the
world twice, speak several lanqu-
ages. and In my travels have found
the same thing In every country.
that u you take n girl out for a
uood time. she expects you TO kiss
her goodnight before leaving.
am sure II had the opportunity
TO speak to "one Who Wants TO
Know" could give her several
good reasons why a boy gets tired
Of a kissing girl" e. T.

But one night. sleepiess and fis-

and tho noise OF u disturbed evcry

And not caring 10 be seen. lest
Gale follow her. she made for tho

straight into d. Sraln's arms.
Her startled cry OF fright he

the man who held her. but OF tho
longing that had boen growing In

After this they met often. but
never again In the grove. Nan pro-

They met In both the lava beds

are corrected. the child soon learns
