Il KIHsInE PermIssIbIeP

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I read your advice with much
interest anAI am writing you now
to see IL yod can make clear to me
a puzzle that has always been in
my mind, namely. why it is that
after a young man has taken =
young lady out about three or four
times he thinks that II is his right
to kiss her good night?
Is 1t because the young girls OF
today allow that privilege, or do
you think that there are young
men who are willing to take one
out and treat her as a friend with
out expecting such a privilege as
this? l have always found II the
other way and noticed that when
the privilege is not granted the &C
quaintance ceases. This kind Of
thing makes me feel dubious about
going out with the young men OF
today, and would like to know IL
you could tell me why they do it.
ANNA.
Despite your fiattering asser-
ton that you read this column
with interest, l am afraid YOU
must forego that pleasure rather
frequently, sas l have replied to
this question so often, the last time
only a day or so ago. No, / am
one of the strait-laced, old-fash-
Toned kind that does not approve
of promiscuous kissing. When
young men make kissing a condi-
ton of their friendship, it would
be better for the girl to forego the
doubtful privilege Of their ac-
r,;,f-,eo

Patriot" for usAhe sure is a good
understander, and advise "a Mere
Man" that he need not worry, for
though his case may look hopeless
there may be hope 10 rhim in the
next assortment of immigrants and
he may yet get a fair maid to darn
but honestly I'd rather join the
Shakers.
Fair Play is second to none, how
ever. in his version OF the case, and
can picture him or her, one of Gods
only noblemen or women, and even
as they love fair play am sure that
is their portion, for 1t is beyond
doubt their just deserts.
"Challenger"-the very signature
makes one glad that they have such
a party on their side-and having
looked Washington over fairly well
we quite agree with you and the
poet Shelly all at one and the same
time in The more one studies. the
more dne discovers his ignorance"
or words to that effect, and we
would suggest a course OF study
for Washington after they have
awakened from their twenty-year
sleep, like old Rip, they've much to
learn.
This, from one who would rather
be war worker any day in the year
than a lady, but who, strange to re-
late, has often been taken for a lady.
WAR WORKER.
Culture Seeker Heard From.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ guess all war workers felt
that Roman Matron's letter de-
manded an answer. l want to tell
you why I feel that she is right in
some OF her views.
The average expenses OF a Gov
eminent clerk are from S45 to $50
a month, not including clothes.
That makes about 30 per cent OF
our income for actual living ex-
penses and 80 per cent left for
clothes. education. and Liberty
bonds. This seems to me a very
fair proportion and as much as we
could get in any other city for
clerical or other non-executive
work. American girls have great
capacity for patriotism, but I do
not think that we came to Wash
ington for that reason alone.
Many Of us could have shown
greater patriotism by doing es-
sential work in a small town.
think most OF us came because we
earn more money here and because
life in Washington means an OPP
portunlty to broaden out and is
an education in itself IL we make
IL so.
However, must differ with
the Roman Matron on one point
She thinks we should improve our
pronunciation and manners and
suggests courses at the university.
1t is impossible for many OF us to
attend the university for various
reasons. such as distance from
work. expense, eyestrain, etc, and
yet we are to improve our oppor-
tunities.
wish Roman Matron or some
one interested in seeing war work.

me how we can acquire culture II

Beatrice Fairfax Problems Workers
Especially for Washington Women

In the edition of The Times o.
October %, there appeared in thi:
column a letter from a sick soldier
at the Walter Reed Hospital signed
Lonesome Sammy" Among othel
things, he said:
am writing to tell you how
much I enjoy reading the letters
other fellows girls send you. 1
like to read about everything they
write Of. even to their troubles
with the landlady and the peppery
responses of these DANES.
Somehow II gives me q feeling Of
having q closer touch with life. I
am lonely and i'll and the letters
and problems of these young war
workers-well, Miss Fairfax, it's
not exactly like having a Preside
Of your own, but II has the comfort
of warming your hands against
some one else's chimney on cold
day.
To this pitifui plea there was an
immediate response on the part OF
may readers. Bright, cheering let
tiers that-containing no addresses
were sent in care of a friend whose
name he had given. The friend in
question has just written to say that
poor Sammy's last days were much
cheered by these friendly greetings
and that he was particularly pleased
by some clever prose and verse
signed The Allies"
Please let me thank, very heartily,
the writer's OF these amusing squibs
for their kindness to boy who gave
his life for the great cause.
Further Comments on Roman
MATRON."
Letters continue to arrive, both
censuring and upholding the atti-
tude of the Washington woman
who wrote to this column and ex-
pressed herself in regard to war
workers. Roman Matron's" point
of view has been discussed too
often in these columns to require
repetition. The following letter
from a war worker is very well
worth while.
Not a Lady But a War Worker"
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
wonder IL you realize how much
keen interest we war workers, for I
am one OF species, take in reading
the article in The Times under your
signature. Whoever discovered that
the eternal feminine has no sense OF
humor should have been with us to-
day. And all because Roman Ma
tron" was being right properly an
swered. Note the right properly.
Am ! not learning?
A remark that was overheard n
day or so ago. and the parties in
question, agreed that the war work
ers should wear uniforms so one
might know a war worker from a
lady.
o lady, lady, one does learn some
thing new every day and II seems 1
have come all the way to Washing
ton to learn that 1 am not a lady,
but a war worker.
Just the same I'm glad, glad, glad
that / came despite the fact that /

since my coming. yet find myself
constantly and always out OF funds,

Use the GRubbernecK' Wagons.

R T. EDWARDS, consistently
thinking Of good ideas for this
column, offers q valuable suggestion
to governmental committees trying
to help transport war workers.
why not put the 'rubberneck'
wagons on the job getting people to
work in the morning? These buses
do no business until long after peo-
pie go to work. This town needs
transportation badly and In the rub
berneck' wagons we have a big help
right at hand"
JAMES ALLEN SoUTHER-
LAND, Wisconsin avenue, while hav-
ing the warmest admiration for
soldiers Of the army who entered
through the draft, feels very strong
" that the Government should per

every man who voluntarily enlisted
in the army, navy, national guard,
or marines before the draft law
went into effect. He does not be-
