Please Tell Me
What 70 DO
What cynthia Is Like
BY CYNTHIA


Dear Cynthia-I am of the opinion
that you are a dear white haired lady,
about fifty years old, and that you
have grown up sons and daughters,
who have taught you all about young
people. I imagine you brought them
up in the kindest and wisest of ways,
and that they always came and told you
their secrets. I know one such lady,
and I often think of her when I read
your column. Her children are all
grown up, too, and two of them are
married, and the young men they mar
ried are as fond Of their mother in :
law as they ever were Of their own
mothers-perhaps more so. think
this all comes about because this dear
lady (she has white hair, too), al
ways makes it a practice to put her
self in the place of others. You can
never shock or surprise her with any
thing wrong you have done. She is
so calm and cool about things and lets
person present the case fully before
she even passes judgment. Indeed, she
reminds me Of you a great deal, and
you remind me of her. That is where
have formed my opinion of Cynthia.

Dancing With Strange Young Men

Dear Cynthia-Your advice to G.. G.
and F. l.. is not to dance with strangers
on the piers. Now will you kindly tell
me just exactly what you would do if
a young man came over and asked you
for dance. Would you refuse him?
You see, dear Cynthia, I am not
fifteen or sixteen years old, and I have
gone to more than one dance and
danced with more than one strange
young man in my days.
The reason | ask you this, to tell
you the candid truth. is because this is
the first time that l have heard say
that it is not the proper thing to do.
am sure there is more than one nice
girl goes on the piers herself or with
a few other girls.
/ don't know how proper it is to al
low strangers to escort you home.
myself have never allowed it, but just
to dance with them, why I can't real
ize that there is any harm in that.
OF course, I don't mean to contra
dict you, Cynthia. No doubt you know,
but I wish you would tell me precisely
why it is wrong. s. L. p. r.
Yes, S. l.. p. R., if strange young
man came over to me on a public dance
floor and asked me to "have this one"
would smile my very incest to show
that / wasn't offended at his asking,
but l would say, "No, thank you,
I'm not dancing" or something to that
effect. You see, I wouldn't call a po-
liceman or anything like that, but
would slide out of the situation as
gracefully as I could. You ask why.
Well, this is why: 1t isn't the dancing
that's wrong. It's allowing yourself
, to become acquainted with some one
about whom you know absolutely nothing.
For the two girls in ten who are level
headed under these conditions there are
eight in every ten who have not good
Judgment, and who would think this Is
Just one case that is different and II
can do no harm to pursue the friend
ship further. That is where the real
danger lies, and in order to avoid il
there is nothing like a good general rule
faithfully adhered to. i would very
much like to have readers opinions on
dancing with strange men. Be frank
as S. L. 2. r. was, and say what you
think.

"lou'rc met Vour onn nrong girl. "
That is the ''song" of Theodore
Marc, of 300 South Juniper street, who
is employed in the kitchen of the Ritz
Carlton Hotel. He wrote the words
and music and had it printed with a
picture of himself on the front cover.
Marc, it appears, had n reason for
writing the song He says he loved
Anna Halpern. of Twentieth and Arch
streets. who was formerly employed at
the hotel. Mrs. ,Halpern is under 5000
bail for court on charges brought by
Marc. He says she promised to marry
him and then disappeared with $400
he gave her to purchase furniture for
their home.
lsadorc Halpern. her husband. was
discharged when arraigned before Mag
istrato Pcnnock in Central Station to
day. He was arrested with Marc last
week when they staged n fist fight in
the courtyard of City Hall. Marc was
discharged tho next day and Halpcru
held in bail for the further hearing.
Mare tells the story in his song. The
words of the verse follow:
when you've met your wrong girl
life becomes dark. No matter how
much you love her. your love is bu,
your grave. She looks to you like q
rose blossom. but when the rose loses
its perfume it becomes for you a deadly
poison.
Day and night the ghost of your
deadly love comes before you. Alas
your heart is broken and your hope is
dead. Your youth departs and old age
comes on apace. Her tiickleness slowly
brings you to yonr grave.
''She looks to you like a fair flower
Even the smartest of men have beer
fooled and betricked and made ruir
of by a girl"
