Beatrice Fairfax Writes the Problems Pitfalls War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

A CORRESPONDENT who
~ signs herself Indignant
Reader" has written a
very forceful letter to this column.
1t was evoked by the frankly cyni-
cal letter of a young man who
stated that girls who accepted mo-
tor rides from strange young men
should be devoid of "squeamish-
ness"
Such a girl had told Of having to
walk back to Washington six miles
because she declined to put up with
the behavior Of young man who
had taken her "joy-riding." And
the cynical young man said in his
letter he was glad and for his
part he wished she had been
obliged to walk sixteen miles in
stead of six.
I gave his letter in full, at the
time, because l thought his point
Of view would be extremely en-
Tightening to those pirls who go in
for these hazardous little affairs.
Now along comes a girl war
worker who knows how to WELD a
pen, and she has impaled the cyni-
cal young man on the point of it,
sliced him up, and dissected him I'M
til his mangled remains command
our pity. We do not know this
young lady who writes under the
signature of Indignant Reader"
". S. which, from her ability to
cut, may stand for vivisectionist.

He can't derive any pleasure from

where I'll ind a fitting appellation
for him. He expects a little jaunt

acquaintance who share your
views as to women to enlighten US
further. Your x-ray picture Of
your hearts Is a bitter pill, but I
trust it will effect q complete cure
so that innocent war workers may
not be the cause Of lonely even

INDIGNANT READER.
Two other girls, both war work
ers, write to say there is much less
JOY riding in Washington than is
commonly supposed. They describe
the would-be joyrider circling
around with an empty car all even

mail prevents me from sharing
their optimism, but as their letter
is quite amusing it is a pleasure
to publish it.
Views of Two More War Workers.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Perhaps the observations Of two
feminine Government employees
(war workers) will not count for
much, but we want to dispel some
OF the illusions often dealt with in
your columns, that girls are eager
TO accept offers of joy-Fides with
men who pick them up off the
streets.
We go to picture shows nightly,
and II is noted by US the number Of
chances a girl has to get in auto
mobiles at the invitation of men.
We notice that early in the evening
men are seeking girls to get in
with them and later, even IL o'clock,
they have not succeeded in finding
a congenial companion. In fact,
about all the solicitors OF joy-Fides
seem to be doing a dull business.
Personally, we do not believe
girls, especially the salaried Gov
eminent ones living here in Wash
ington, have any great opinion OF
Washington's collection OF mascu-
line assets. There seems to be a
dearth OF the unmarried, eligible.
species that is so refreshing, while
there are plenty Of the sort who
lack youthful enthusiasm. Even the
bulky, equity parsonage is out to
win the favor OF the mere slip Of
a girl. Do they think q soft cush-
toned automobile and gorgeous feed
alluring? Yes, they are, but the
feminine mind knows so we'll they
will prove just a fitting joy. They
have to take the lobster" with
them. To the girl this would mean
the ultimate poignant sacrifice Of The
love hero that must come into her
life.
So from the often discussed
chance acquaintance problem We
have concluded that the men are
not very successful In getting pick
up girls.
We may add that in appearance
we are simply "rippihg"-there Is
no room for an alteration about 1t.
We have the approval Of the con-
noisseuFs - Washington men - yet
We are still seeking more worlds

Mr.. Rainey was moved to make
this new effort to lift the emergency
