the discussion that has
been running in this column lately,
"Girls Who Do Not Attract Men.
These views coming from the
camp of the enemy, so to speak,
have all the value of captured war
maps. And now the truth is out
and the "enemy''-to still employ
that figure-has stated his reasons
for refusing to capitulate to GER
tain types; girls are invited to
avail themselves of this valuable
information.
One naval officer, conspicuous
for the number of invitations he
has received to speak in public,
since he returned from lover
there" has contributed some espe-
cially interesting data. He asks
me not to publish his letter, or
"at least not in full" and / am
going as far as l dare with the
following extracts.
Fada Are Fatal.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
In regard to girls who may be de-
scribed as "non-conductors' OF
romance, il appears to be purely a
question of intuition. Do you re-
member the old nursery rhyme: Il
do not like the Doctor Fell, the
reason why l cannot tell" DR.. Fell
fails to please. for no reason at all,
and so does his feminine counter
part.
Certain girls render themselves
taboo by fad chasing. one may be
daft over Gladys, but if she rides
rough-shod over your heart, soul
and most sacred convictions with
her newest little hobby horse you
fee from Gladys and her offending
charger, in time. Beautiful little
Gladys has proved that she can be
a first rate bore.
What They May Not 10.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
With pleasure 1 mention a few
Of the girls who are as safe from
me as IL they were in the junglcs
Of Africa surrounded by a guard
OF lions Among them are: The
girl who instructs me, tells me

cultivated mind, and what music

brags about her papa's wealth. and
his seat among the mighty. is safe.
So is the girl that boasts about
her cOnquests with men, like the
lady-Nut who wrote you the other
night and signed herself La Belle
for her. The baby-talk girl would
drive me to drink-if there were
anything left.

How do they get that way
Why can't these misguided young
persons get on to the fact that a
man either likes a girl or doesn't
like her? There is no in between.
All same, a girl either likes a man
or doesn't like him-and IL she
doesn't like him he either gets him
another girl or joins the army
the latter being preferable.
The trouble with Miss Disguised
is that she is in the same Ak that
I'm in. Her personality seems to be
inadequate to attract men, just as
mine seems to be inadequate to at
tract women. But, whereas she
gives no specific reason for her

the entire male sex a black eye-I

dance, and since l am not liked by
girls because l don't dance. my
friendship is worth no more to
them, than my ability 10 dance.
You in your column discuss the
failure of some girls to attract men.
Here is one reason-works in my
case, and l am not the only one by
a long shot: I'd rather talk to a
girl. or listen to her talk, than pull
her around on a waxed floor. And
in some cases it's SOME pull, I'll
tell the world in a few words. Since
it seems that SO per cent Of all girls
are not built that way nowadays
since they prefer to give express

that of their brain cellS-check,
I'd rather talk to a man han dance

! This Village Spendthrift of ours,
GEORGE FRANCIS DONOHOE,
trailed around after me yesterday,
after buying me the finest lunch that
ever mortal man set eyes upon.
! had to do a little shopping, and
George came on with me. First /
wanted a couple Of seats for The
Rainbow Girl, and Spendthrift, he
/ butted in and got STEVE COCH-
RAN to sell him some seats for next
week. hope Steve cashes in.
And then / had to go up to SID
NEY REIZENSTEIN'S and George
trotted on behind. l have an idea
that Miss McGeth held on to the dol
lar that the spender gave her, be-
cause there seemed to be commo-
ton in the shop.
Well, after that / remembered I
had to get some candy and MRS.
WALTER BROMLEY had a two
pound box for me, but George
couldn't keep out of the converse
ton, so he jammed his way to the
front and asked her to change a
dollar bill.
You don't get nvuUh of q reputd-
ton as a spelder If all you do is to
ask for change. I'll Leave 1t to you.
CHARLIE BOYER, at the Federal
/ National Bank, absolutely refused to
take the dollar that George wanted
to have CHANGED. Mr.. WILCOX
did, however.
And young Mr.. MYERS, in the
paying teller's cage at the District
National Bank, changed one, all
right.
Went up to the Press Club and got
a drink of water, and Fred Rhodes,
the clerk, changed another of this
alleged spender's coin. Hold on to
it, Fred.
After that we strOlled out on the
street and began Ginning with Sun
shine Mary, who sells papers and
disseminates good advice and gen.
ialty at 18th and G streets. George
had a hard time to get her to take a
dollar. She said she hadn't any
change-but she did have a bag full.
And after that we went over and
bought a newspaper from DUMMY
the largest newsboy in Washington
Somehow / believe Dummy knew who
the spender was. Anyhow, hope so,
for I'D like to see him change that
one for a five.

Judge All BY . Few.
DEAR MISS FAIFRAX:
After reading the letter from La
Belle Dame Sans - in Satur-
days edition of The Times. would
like to reply to the young 90 lady
who so viciously attacks the male
sex in general.
1t seems to be the common failing
Of the world to Judge the masses by
the shortcomings OF some one per-
son. As a small cog in the ma
chinery OF Uncle Sans navy, let me
say a man may SOW the proverbial
wild oats" in civil life and get
away with it," When a Cob" i'm
bibes too freely OF the forbidden
nectar, and is brought back to his
ship or station, those who see him
voice a word of condemnation on
the organization Of which he Is a
member. In the case OF the civilian,
pcOple SIMPLY "A8 lnSiE BoSslpy
tongues and say: John Jones was
drunk last night" On the other
hand. when a Cob strays from the
straight and narrow path, the whole
navy suffers Gin the eyes OF the
world"
Surely a girl who speaks so
lightly Of broken engagements must
be very. very selfish. There are,
doubtless. many persons who suffer
and have suffered from broken
heart, but why break other hearts
to make the memory of their disap-
pOintments less bitter.
AS for men loving flattery. i
think that statement is erroneous.
A little fiattery goes a long way.
and a man who is cool-headed and
clear-thinking, will not allow him
self to be swayed from his stand
point by silly adulatiOn.
i may be behind the times, but
understand that the vampish tactics
employed by Theda Bara are copy
righted and "alI rights reserved
She must conceded her laurels 10
La Belle Dame" as past master Of
the gentle art OF heart-breaking.
