very much discouraged. am

I am a failure. 1 was taught from
a child that a man had no respect
for the girl or woman who per-
mitted kissing. My friends always
chafred me and called me "prude,"
and on that account I missed many
invitations. Now, wonder II I was
too proper.
Ny friends are all married, and
seemingly happy. while I have Just
dreams. I meet a few men. but
they all seem to expect the same
thing. and have found the Older
they are the more disgustingly thew

too much in wanting a "paI?"
Sometimes think 1 am too sedate
but for some reason I cannot ioIIv

friends, but seem to frighten away
the men. I wonder why.
1t will be too bad If some
man misses this distinctly fine

room, with "jazz" music as an
accompaniment. Men are always
making fun Of women, at Christ

It would seem, in your thorough

disadvantages, that you have an
swered your own question, very
decidedly.
You say you are N love with
him and If you really are, love is
capable Of working miracles; it
has made men of thirty secure an
education and amount to some
thing. But as far as enjoying

another matter; once welded to
