been able TO kiss her once, neither
has she refused, as 7 never had the

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

7 UCY'S outburst left Julia's mind in
LA chaos. She felt abashed and
strange before this new Lucy, who fol.
lowed her around the room with widA2
contemplative eyes. Finally when Julia
had finished her duties as nurse she stole
n glance toward the bed and saw that
Lucy's lashes were resting against her
check. Julia was about to steal from
the room. hoping that Lucy would get
a nap. when there came knock at the
door.
When Julia opened it Starr Jordan,
friend Of Lucy's, stood outside.
"Your mother told me to come right
up." Starr explained. She was a thin
girl. with a little attitude of defiance
that Julia had never liked.
Julia held the door open and Starr
| came in.
"Oh, is she asleep" she said aloud,
and Iucy's eyes instantly unclosed.
"Oh, hello, Starr. I'm not asleep.

you were coming to see me.

dropped a bouquet of listless carna =

Jack Answers Some Letters

Dear Cynthia-A short time ago !

I told you of girl ! loved and had
every reason to believe that she loved
me. for she told me so, but when ] ar
rived home from overseas she was mar
ricd. | also told you that ] would
never trust or believe another. Well,
Cynthia, reading your column since
then ! was surprised to see few letters
speaking of my case and for that reason
| am writing to you again. for | wish
to thank Nineteen" and VIVIAN for
their kind words to me. Nineteen,
that was n fine letter and il certainly
made me think. You say that perhaps
this girl just had desire to CORE
spOnd with some one over there and
had no love for me. No, Nineteen" il
wasn't that, I had known this girl for
months before I went over, went to see
hcr steadily, and when | left ! was
sure she loved nc, and while I was
away hCr letters made me positive of
it. Why, the day before I sailed ] re-
rcivcd letter from her. She had found
out that | was coming home and her
letter spoke oi how happy she was, so
YOU can just imagine what II blow it was
to learn that she had married five days
before ] landed, and what made it worse
She had no excuse only that she loved
this other fellow more.
"Nnctccn." can you truthfully blame
mo for speaking of the girls as I did?
| admit there is one thing in your letter
that may he right, that is all girls are
not like this one: you advise me to try
again. "Ninptecn.' | thank YOU for
your kind advice. but ! don't think |
will try again" for many day.
Now, VIVIAN" to yon I wish to
say that | consider your letter the
finest ! have ever read. 1t has helped
me wonderfully and ! could never thank
you enough for your kind words. You
tell me to always remember that there
are some good and true girls left. Well
VIVIAN after reading your letter, IN
beginning to think there are a few such
as you and Nineteen" and ~. A."
You spoke of an only brother who died
overseas. VIVIAN" ! am sorry, so
sorry to hear that, and hope you will
forgive me for mentioning it. Little
girl after reading your letter ! am
convinced that | was wrong about "all''
girls being tickle. There arc some won
dcrful girls left. and | only hope l have
the good fortune of some day meeting
one like you or "Nincteen.

points stand out much more plainly, so
why should we worry?
l must say you have very ungodly
way of thinking.
God never punished you for what your
neighbor did, think you made a mis-
take by picking Jack TO "practice this
act'' with you, for I don't think he will
perform with you. : His letter didn't
sound the same as yours. I hope he
will meet a good girl to build UP all
his shattered dreams. Well, l hope the
doorway to bachelors hall is open wide
for you and that you enjoy all your ig-
norant pleasure.

Dear: Cynthia-When they say n girl
is doll what do they mean?
l have always found it to be girl
who uses enough paint and powder to
look like masquerader.
In my opinion they arc not worth
bothering with. ! never go out with
girl who uses powder and paint; ]
prefer to go alone.
I was in love with one girl, and by
going to night school I lost out. l have
always sworn that no girl win get me
again. l know this is foolish. but the
boys call my bluff every time / talk to
girl.
The boys I go with are known as
the Wolves" and every time, they go
with girls they ask me along and re
fuse. Do you think this is proper?
