of the Problems Pitfalls of the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women
[See Editorial.

Love, crystallized, is still a fluid
thing, association between youths
and girls should be fluid, too.
And the wholesome, natural thing
is to have this association as fres
as possible and to postpone pair
ing off" until love makes this in
evitable.
Then it's a dangerous matter to
determine ones life preference
before one has had a chance to
compare and select. A girls love
lacks a solid foundation if she
yields up all the treasures Of her
heart to the first youth who takes
her to the moving pictures and
tells her she has wonderful eyes,
especially if she softly agrees to
remain sealed up at home, silent
and unseen, while he goes out to
Chicago on a two months bust
ness trip.
Now, /, personally, go further
than / have indicated in this ar
ticle. / cannot see that even if
you are engaged to a girl you are
entitled to ask her never to dance
with another man, never to join
in any youthful parties unless you
go, too, and keep your vigilant
eve upon her,
A girls social life shrinks of
itself after she has announced her
engagement. / think she should
not decline what little she has left.
Too great exclusiveness is I'M
wise, even in love. If a few
cheerful outside influences can
lessen her love, then it's love that
isn't stout enough to marry on,
and it's better to find that out in
time.
know that many betrothed
young people don't agree with me
in this. But I wish they would be-
gin to think about it

TODAY'S TOPIC
DON'T LOVE LIKE THIS!

Sometimes the pretext for the
sort Of thing l have been speaking
Of is found in the fact that the
young man is obliged to leave
town, or that the girl is.
Don't forget me-" he warns her
jealousy. and promise that you
won't see or speak to another man
until come back"
And sometimes, l am sorry to
say, she does promise this very
thing. She allows herself to be
put aside until called for. She
gives up all her natural, innocent
pleasures because she has been
impressed by the personality Of a
youth with the notions Of a Turk,
who wishes to find her just where
he left her.
But a girl with intelligence and
character can, of course, do a good
deal to root out the Turk in a man.
II he is rash enough to invite her
to seclude herself for his selfish
sake, she politely and firmly tells
him that her liking for him cannot
restrict her other friendly associa-
ton in the slightest degree. That
he has no right whatever to make
such a request. And that, in fact,
he will have to take his chances.
Perhaps she adds that remain
ing lonely and bored In his honor
wouldn't tend to increase her
friendship for him. Rather the
contrary.
II she gets him to understand
the true Turkishness of his sug-
gestion, she is valuably educating
him.
Love Must Be Free.
The truth is, Of course, that dur
ing these springtime years, when

"Why, what on earth happened,
Gwynn?" Brownlow asked in alarm.
WAS anybody with you when you
bought that outfit? Was there no
kindly hand to shield you from the
wiles Of the war tailor? At your
time of life the sylphlike lines are
not expected any more. Yes, it
looks good in the back, and when the
coat is buttoned the ballet effect is
not so noticeable"
And as Brownlow looked closer,

hitting themselves to an engage
ment or even mentioning marriage.
Aren't you surprised, as am,
that in this day of sturdy feminine
independence such young men can
find any American girls meek and
unsophisticated enough to accept
their dictatorship?
One Of these young men writes
me to the effect that he earnestly
admires q young lady whom he has
known for some years. But he
decided that the most practical
course would be to wait with my
proposal till she had finished her
course at college and / had
branched of into business for my
self"
Suddenly, however, he discovers
the existence Of a second young
man who calls frequently upon his
girl friend. He feels that his
rights are being encroached upon.
But he will be magnanimous.
Being broadminded about such
things" he says, II took no no
tice." But later his jealousy does
drive him to enter a protest,
which, of course, has no effect.
For, naturally, it most often
happens that a girl spiritedly OBJ
jects to an attempt to paddock her
liberty on the part of a young man
who has merely the status of a
friend. MISUNDERSTANDING, dis
agreements, even quarrels, follow.
And the young men who mourn
fully report what has happened
do not dream that it is that I'M
humorous, lord-of-creation attitude
Of theirs that is responsible for all
the trouble

A Long Fight Won By

With the today of free transfers at certain

7 EFT US suppose that young
man likes a girl very much,

he is methodically planning to
propose to her, when they raise
his salary next spring.
Is he justified, meanwhile, in
building a fence about this girl. so
to speak, through which no posi-

which the girl herself must con-

OF course you don't believe in

their belief vigorously.
