Cheer Up and Wait a While

La Patre--Your letter was unfortu-
nately too long to print. Perhaps you
have not met the right girl yet. If
you had and really loved her as a man
ought to love the woman he marries,
you would no. wonder what is best to
do. Can you not be good friends with
both until you feel sure of your own
feelings?

A CamdenIte Writes

Dear Cynthia--I have been merely
nm amused reader and locker on for a
time, but have now found something
to write about to a most clever woman
who gives very good advice to the love
lorn lads and lassies who write to her.
I am as good looking as the average
American girl, my age, Wen leave a
blank, / am a fair basket ball player
tennis, hockey and volley ball player :
also / have a fair alto voice, am a good
dancer and expect to be graduated from
college next June if all goes well.
About kissing, that very much over
worked subject. OF course chap is
going to kiss girl if she will per-
nit it. Why not? He is human, and
no boy can resist kissing pretty bow
shaped lips, especially when he knows
he will not be repulsed when he in
dulges in one. But it is not always
the girls fault, nor even nearly al
ways; it is a fifty fifty basis.
Morocco wrote the other day that a
girl should be strong and hold her
self-respect. Shame on you, Morocco,
who of the masculine sex can be worthy
of being called a man if he is not strong
and does not help the girl. who, as it
is universally known, is of the weaker
sex? Do you not realize that there is
a beginning to everything? Do you not
understand that if you did not make
n girl think you cared for her and
then on the strength of that affection
begged for kiss, that she would never
make it habit of kissing? But you
chaps do just that. You make love
to a nice girl who does not kiss every =
one because of the novelty; then, when
you have tired of her kisses and made
her love you, you go away and never
return. Can you blame a girl after
such is the case for becoming reckless,
a promiscuous kisser and breaker of as
many hearts as she can?
Do not conclude from this letter
that I am man hater nor that I am
like one of those l am writing about.
m not. This is merely what happened
to the dearest chum I have ever had
and the result is that she is now a
heartless ''vamp" seeking as many
scalps as she can possibly secure

Club Sentiments Change Her Name

Ciub sentiments Change Her Name
Dear Cynthia-Just few lines to a
Pretty Little Brunette. You say that
you are not quite nineteen years of
age, but have a few old ideas. Well,
we are both in the same boat. ! also
fear that you have misjudged me or
didn't see my letter that was published
only a few days ago, nevertheless I'll
endeavor to tell you more about myself.
When starting to correspond with the
X. U. II. G. couldn't really say that
I was somebody's girl, but now I'll
have to change my name because have
been abiding by the title of the club and
have kept up hopes until now am quite
happy over the sincere friendship I have
established. You are right; too many
friends are dangerous, while not enough
is just as bad. therefore we have to
limit our friendship to the quality of
each.
Just at present I am finishing my
course at night school, and that takes
up three nights a week, Monday, Wed =
nesday and Friday, which SON, girls
rlaim are the big nights of the week. ]
am glad to say I make all my clothes
and quite few of my hats. / also
help in the making of my girl friends
clothes. so I don't seem to have much
time to myself. l am past the age of
being boy crazy. as far as falling head
over heels in love with them. I prize
a sincere and good pal better than one
with sentimental intentions. AS for
looking for the right man, we'll I
wouldn't give that thought for while
yet, as home is too good.
AS far as my principle and character
are concerned, I think they will measure
up to some of the best, as that has been
one Of my main points in life, and
when the right man comes along he will
have to take me for what really am,
not what 1 should be or what he wants
me to be. I am care-free now and
trying to be- happy, although not very
healthy. Changing my name from Miss
Nobody's Girl to MISS SINCERE.
