THE HEART BREAKER

BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER

one evening as the pair drove in a
taXicab to Il big Red Cross dance
given in the home of Mrs. Denton,
Fairylands society leader.

sponded. Why do you want to

trying to avert the very thing that
happened.
We had two delightful hours. Vir-
sinia and Jim reviewed for me some
of their childish escapades. And our
party and the laughing reminis-
cences seemed TO bring me close to
the warm, human Virginia who had
always eluded me heretofore.
At six Betty came in on our
laughing group. Then Neal-and

"Oh, Mrs. Dalton. I've been phon-

Virginia, with a suggestion Of her
old frigidity-then she added more
kindly, "Phoebe's really too young

Really, Anne" replied Virginia
freezingly, Il think you might have

into my brothers affairs"
For minute l stood as hurt and
amazed as if she had struck me
then my temper flared up.

hesitate to take two real outsiders

CHAPTER MI.
Mildred was a fiirt.


Mildred was a tiirt.
The consciousness of this truth
impressed itself upon her sisters
mind many times during the winter
of 1916-17.
For it was rather gay winter in
Fairlands. The war on the other
side of the Atlantic furnished nu-
merous excuses for entertainments
of various sorts. the proceeds of
which went to the Red Cross, Bel
gian Relief, etc.
The Brent girls were active in all
such affairs. Although their regu-
lar work occupied most of the day
light hours, they were never too
tired TO take part in charades, tab
leauN or other entertainments from
which profit was gained by means
of pleasure.
At all of these functions Mildred
was as happy as a child and always
ready to add to the gayety of the
occasions by her merry chat and
That she was a success from a
infectious laugh.
social standpoint was foregone
conclusion. She was not intellectual,
neither was she capable OF great
depths of feeling-but these are not
essential to popularity.
Honora-much less attractive to
the unthinking observer-had Il
charm of manner and a warm SYM
pathy that won her the genuine lik-
ing of those who really knew her.
While she was aware that Mildred
was more winsome than she, she
watched her little sister without
any sensation of jealousy-save.
perhaps, where Arthur Bruce was
concerned. And it was in this con-
nection that she decided that Mil
dred was a fiirt.
You are sure you do not care any
more for Arthur than you did,
Milly?" the older sister questioned

DEAR MISS FAlREAA.
Please help me solve these difficult
problems. How old may a girl be
to have boy friends? When may
she go out2 At what hour to
be at home ? When is il usual for a
girl to wear her hair up and have high
heels? Don't you think II is the duty
of every true American girl to speak
to a lonely out-of- town boy in uni
form? II he is true to the colors

turally, / believe we shouldn't go too
far-but talk and stroll? What
harm?
The custom in conventional society
is that a girl is introduced or comes
out" at is. After this her life is
much like that of her elders. except
that she doesn't go about with men
unchaperoned. Rules for girls outside
the most conventional circles are
somewhat less rigid. a girl usually
wears her hair up at 16. and | sup
pose she wears high heels earlier
than that; but / wish she wouldn't! /
don't see why she can't have boy
friends at any age. especially IL she
doesn't limit herself TO one at a time.
AS to young men in upniform, aren't
girls rather too eager TO assume that
soldiers are lonely? 1t is unwise to
suspend the rule that introductions
are necessary.

4 GIRL CYNIC'S LIFE STORY
ErAP NTTGE E~ATDTgAX

6Ihl II MUS LIFE STOHl
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
\ young woman, a trained nurse,
whom l judged to be a cynic, told me
this story:
-Four years ago l met and fell in
formal engagement | discovered that
he had been also visiting a certain
widow and paying surreptitious at
tention to her. / Immediately called
off our engagement and rejected him.
II made me bitter against the entire
world. | decided to go out with any
man who had lots of money and who
could give me a good time and to
break every mans heart that l could.
1 began TO frequent cabarets and
drink wines and dance and crave good
clothes. At present my idea is that
no man is to be trusted with a wo-
mans soul and heart"
VIII you kindly express your opin-
ion on this story, as l believe that
there are many such young women?
y. c.
One must be indulgent toward
but IL is quite true that cynicism is
foolish attitude, and that to be proud
of ones cynicism, as many people are,
is more foolish still. This young wo-
man will, of course, come to see in
time that a world of men is not to be
condemned because of the faithless-
ness of one of them. and that her
notion of wholesale hetaliation is most
unjust. There are plenty of ways in
which a loving heart may express
itself. whatever its tragic experiences
may have been. but there really isn't
any room in the world for bitterness.
