L
say a few words to your girls?
To the good, clean, straight
girls who think they are not
popular with the young men
because of it?
! live in one of the large
modern apartment houses and
last night had occasion to go
down to the laundry to wash
out a few curtains. AS
neared the door l heard an
unusual Gathering and splash
ing inside. To my surprise,
when | entered | found two
young men and a woman
washing. By their conversa-
ton | learned that the young
men were helping mother.
They were tall, dark-haired,
fine looking young fellows,
should Judge about 20 years
old. Their sleeves were roll
ed up, and large aprons near
ly covered their neat looking
shirts.
They were not one bit dis
concerted at having a strang-
er see them at their work, but
went right on as though it
was a very common occur
renee. The boiler was full of
steaming clothes and heaps
more waiting their turn.
They knew which suds they
went in next and how to turn
the wringers so as not to pull
off the buttons. Mother"
looked agile enough to have
done the work herself as she
flew around overseeing and
helping, for her heavy brown
hair was but slightly tinged
with gray.
They laughed and talked
about their big two weeks
washing and | left them with
still another hours work be-
fore them. | felt like giving
those dear boys big hug Ct
am an elderly woman, so
don't be shocked) and the
picture of their clean bright
faces has fingered in my mind
ever since.
Surely, these young men
will sometime begin their
search for those very "unpop-
ular" girls, for | cannot i'm
agine any others will do for
these. Years ago | married
one OF them and | am
NOT SORRY.
o. am a young girl and
have a boy friend of whom |
think great deal. He has
always been very gentleman
ly and has told several peo-
pie that he thinks | am the
greatest girl he ever knew.
But the last time | met him
on the street, he talked very
rough and said several un-
gentlemanly things. Should
just forget him or ask for
an explanation?
