DEAR GIRLS:
What I'm wondering about is why
the older girls are not Interested in
this column. My family has nov
grown to almost forty, but I must ad-
nit thai it is composed of mostly girls
in their early teens. Girls, 1t is true
you as letter writer's can in many
cases put your older sisters to shame
but the fact is I want opinions on a
Y. w. c. A. or community house just
now. This building Will be for the
use of the older girls with a girls
department" just like there Is a
boys department." in the Y. M. G.
A. Now can't I arouse any enthusf-
asm among you and ask you to write
to me and express your views on the
subject This is a good way of letting
the influential people In this city know
about your wishes in regard to the
obtaining Of the organization. Let me
hear from YOU.
HELEN.

Now. "Dimples." yon have the same
idea as I have of Helen. Dimples
could you tell me where Woodbridge
is situated as I have never been there.
My girl friend and I might walk over
if it is not owe twenty or twenty-five
miles /.
We walk five or ten miles every
Sunday afternoon. Now, Helen, you
did not really think Geneva" was a
pet name did you? It is bad enough
for one I know.
I will close now hoping to hear
from you, 'sRo1ly'' and -Dimples"
