The woman who puts her hand out

kerchief linen is the same woman who
will yawn in your face when you take
her to the movies, or who will tell
you none in her family cares for auto

her out in the country in your car for
the afternoon. Half-heartedness, all
the way through!

the non enthusiasts of the world

'Oh, girls, you'd adore him. He has
the most wonderful bored expression" ="
Well, that may be it. Perhaps
there's something utterly fascinating
about being In the presence Of the per-
son whose faculties appear to have all
gone out for the noon day meal. How
ever, l should say that the man or
woman who had wonderfully bored
expression in my presence was handing
me a rather back handed compliment!

paper that prompted ME to write.

Snd l can cook and keep house. Incl
dentally / am very proud of these ac-
complishments. Since l graduated
from school last year I have had ample
opportunity to perfect the same. love
music and all sorts of sports, and last
but not least, just love to dance. Now,
Cynthia, have one pet vice, so to
speak-the use Of little bit of rouge.
What l want to know is do 1 come
under the same category as "The
Painted Dolls" which, according to
anxious" and Bachelor" are almost
outcasts of good society?
have Travelled about quite bit with
my father, Cynthia, and have had the
opportunity of meeting some very fine
types of men and boys--real men,
Cynthia; not those blase, supcrcilious
creatures who don't know enough to
come in out of the rain" These men,
find, look for character in a woman
and overlook that tiny 'bit Of rouge"
condemned by so many men that are
not broad minded. l admit that too
much rouge is worse than not any, but
therein lies the secret.
If people would stop pickering over
trifles they wouldn't miss the big things
in life when they came along. Life is
really so worth while and if we would
smile away all the unpleasant things
everything would be sunshine and hap
piness paramount.
l sound like sophisticated some-
body, don't l, Cynthia? Well, 1 am
just a girl full of life, and just eight
cen. Good luck to every one.

On Jealousy

Dear Cynthia am a girl nineteen
years old. met a fellow four years age
and ever since then | love no fell
low but him. Now l can't say that we
have been keeping steady company, but
lust off and on. The last time he came
back he told me he loved me and said
that as soon as he saved enough money
we would get married. Then he started
to come steady for about three weeks.
One Tuesday night he called me up and
we were kidding over the phone. l
asked him where he was going Wed
nesday night and he said be had date
with another girl.
Now Cynthia that hurt me and on
Thursday I sent him letter telling him
that hated him and never wanted to
see him again.
The Saturday after that / met him
again at dance and he told me the
mistake had made in asking him
where he was going that Wednesday
He said that | should have known he
was coming down to our house, and he
said he was only kidding me about the
date. Now | am sorry | wrote that let
ter and | told him so. but he won
listen to me and | still love him. He
said "crimped" it all and that he won t
have anything to do with me. l love
him and feel | cannot love any one else
and thank you very much for the ad
vice you will give me.
UNHAPPY AND WAITING.
There isn't any use telling you you
we're very silk little girl to act in
such a jealous way and write that let
ter. because you have already learned
your lesson. But for the benefit o
others let me say this: never put dow
angry things in a letter. These word
can never be recalled.
Now don't try to do anything for 6
couple of weeks and then write a yer!
sensible little note saying you are yer!

To Mary Louise

It is perfectly proper to call on the
young mans family and I should not
hesitate to do so particularly since you
do not seem to be to blame for discon =
tinuing the friendship. You should have
spoken on the occasion when you were
not quite sure whom he was ad'
dressing. When you meet him again be
friendly but preserve that impersonal
air you might have in the presence OF
some one with whom you have never
been intimate at all. Unless the letter
of which you speak gave the young man
sufficient reason to act as he has acted
feel that he owes you an explanation.
II he is very backward why not give him
the chance to explain?

HOW do you shake hands? I heard
L L man express himself very forci-
bly, on the subject the other day right
after Labor Day, when every one was
reporting home from the summer va =
cation, and there was so much greet
ing going on.
IF there's anything drives me wild, y
he said, "it's to have a woman lay her
hand in mine as though it were drink

If she doesn't want to shake hands
then she ought to just plain refuse.
But If she does want to, why then
let her do it as though she means it,"
Shaking hands is just like every
thing else. You can do it with your
heart in the right place, or you can &C
through the ceremony as If your heart
were about n thousand miles away.
