she was registered"
His theory was like that OF other

him:

1t is like this" Kramer explained.
"A brain cell is like a grape, made

The pulp may dwindle from overwork,
or perhaps fright. or worry, or she'll
shock. and the cell may wither up
and dry like a grape. But II little
pulp is left in the skin OF the cell, il
may increase under the right condi-

This new theory about brain cells
fascinated me.

That's one way OF putting II, GER

The Good-FelIoW Girl.
By DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

A young woman wants TO know
what is meant by the term "a good
fellow" when II Is applied to a girl
Originally the epithet was, at best,
a left-handed compliment. n soeu
fellow girl was supposed to be a girl
who snaps her fingers in Mrs. Grun-
dy's face, and who lets down the bars
between the sexes. She was the sort
OF a girl who permitted familisrities
from men, who smoked cigarettes ana
drank cocktails with them, and who
laughed In the right place at or
colored stories
The good fellow girl of the past
was the kind OF girl that made good
women want TO weep over her folly,
and whom men prayed that their own
daughters and sisters might never re-
sefnble.
In these changing modern times,
however. when women shift Ntheir
viewpoint and evolve new character
istics almost as often as they do
their styles of skirt the term "a
good fellow girl has come 20 have
an entirely different meaning. II is
now used only in a complimentary
sense, and tc indicate that a certain
type Of girls possesses virtues and
charms that lean more toward mascU-
line than feminine standards.
To begin with, the good fellow g!ri
runs TO tailor mades instead OF fluffy
rufrles in her clothes. No high heels
and slimpsey tea gowns and dang
ling bangles and chains for her. She
wants sensible clothes that there is
some wear TO. and that one can get
about in; plain shirtwaists that can
go to the laundry and be kept i'm
maculately clean.
She combs her hair simply, instead
Of torturing II into contortions that
look like a barber's nightmare. Her
cosmetics are soap and water, ana
she would no more powder her nose
or paint her lips on the street car
than she would make her toilet N
public. She is no fashion plate or
living picture. but she's terribly easy
on the eyes-the kind Of girl you never
get tired OF seeing around, and who
always seems 10 have on just the
right costume for that particular time
and place.
The good fellow girl Is an outdoor
girl. She isn't afraid Of her com
pleHion getting freckled or sunburned
and so she doesn't 90 about swathed
iE protecting wells Neither does she
start on hikes In thin soled. white kid
boots with spool heels under the mid
die Of her foot. Nor is she subject 10
lady-like tremors. that make her
'Oh" and 'Ah" with fright IL a car
skids bit, or a big wave hits a
boat. or she catches a big Gravity crab
on her line when she goes a-hshinC.
The good fellow girl can drive a car
and knows what TO do TO an engine
when it gets balky. She asks no odds
at tennis, or golf. and she doesn't have
to have anybody explain 10 her why
they call that funny green SPOT the
diamond at a baseball park. More
over when she plays a game she +
sporting. She plays II honestly. and
she doesn't cry when she loses, and
no man would dare not TO let her pay
her bet when he beats her.
The good fellow girl IS efficient.
She's an Admirable Critchton in petit

Back in the old days.
Before I fell out.
or a high-chair.
Or whatever IT was.
That makes me write.
Little lines like this.
1 always wanted to be.
A bold swashbuckler.
And live.
In a moated castle.
And bash the head.
OF a cask of rum.
With tyrant's sabre.
And fill up the cups.
And sing old songs.
And pass, new jests.
And quick-hung quips.
But now that a mortal sin.
Has raised its head.
With a hiss.
In a fizz of gin.
I've lost my chance.
Unless I hurry.
Before July the first.
Imagine a guy.
In a coat OF armor.
GaIloping up.
To n Broadway ice cream stol
On snorting steed.
And demanding.
Fruit sundaes for the house.
And for those.
Who refused to eat,
1t would mean.
Pistols for two.
Or a sabre thrust.
At tho break of dawn.
Right then and there.
Or imagine again.
" huge dock walloper.
Rolling into a candy store.
And shouting.
For three jiggers.
OF pineapple syrup.
With cut O. pie.
On the side.

Has gone forever.
And Prohibition.
