Juanita's j Double

Dear Cynthia-I often thought Of
sending my opinion on various subjects.
and when | read Juanita's : true letter |
decided +" make myself known.
Iuanta must hc my unknown douhIc,
as hcr bitter experience is strangely like
mine. sacrificed many things and
wrote "hCcry letters to a veteran of the
old Twenty eighth Division He wanted
mo to marry hIm while IN Georgia. but
| never did approve of war brides. so
told him ] would wait for him. Since
his return many things have happened.
He treated mo wonderfully at first and
did not forget my promise and ex-
pressed his desire Of an carly marriage.
! told him had nothing to get mar
ricd on. so should wait for at least one
year. Everything went fine. dear
Cynthia. until he got some silly notion
in his head and wanted wild time.
and knowing | am a good girl. the kind
my mother was. he has ignored me in
his sudden desire for folly and has be-
come infatuated with girl who did
nothing for him while in France, and
did not know him till a week ago-a
girl who no doubt has not an interest
in him. such as helping him save his

He has gone SO far as to make
statement that he never thoughtRf mar

manly thing to do. I have not had m
opportunity of telling him what | think.

DOROTHY.
Just one word, dear: Be sure to let
this man try to explain his conduct
before you do anything too definite.
Sometimes others repeat things that are
not true. However. it would seem wise
to break with him if all you say proves
true.

To Wash Serge Dress

To the Editor Of the Wontdu'S Page:
Dear Madam-Will you please give
me the safest directions for washing
brown serge dress?
What nationality is Norma Tai
madge?
What nationality is Enid Bennett,
her height and weight?
BROWN EYES.
The best way to wash a serge dress
is to,spread it out on the ironing board
and sponge it with a soft cloth and
warm water and soapsuds. Wipe it off
with wet cloth to get the soap off :,
and press IT under a dry cloth until it
is dry. As far as | have ever heard
Norma Talmadge and Enid Bennett are
both Americans, but questions of this
kind can he answered much more def
nitely by the answer editor Of a
movie magazine. as they have data of
that kind on file.
