pretty. l have brown hair. blue eyes which
large and dreamy, q fair complexion. l
dress plain and fix my hair very plain and
becoming.
Every young man 7 go out with wants to
kiss and hug me. When they spend few
cents to take me to a show they expect to be
paid back You can't say that am one OF
those freaks who vamp the cake eaters.
Furthermore. I never go out with cake
eater, because they are young and have no
manners. am becoming more and more dis
gusted with the men who take me out.
SO kindly tell where and how can l
meet a respectable man who Is Jewish.

young men IN this old worth who don't expect

has proved a boon to housewives who
for the first time In years have been
able TO clean their attics. because be-
fore they did not know what to do with
the junk that had accumulated. Their
consclcnces would not allow them TO
throw good furniture into the Are, nor
cast wearable garments into the gar
baBe can, and yet they knew personally
no one to whom they could give these
things.
Now they send them to the economy
shop where they are sold for a mere
pittance, and where they meet a
long-felt want, because they go to that
middle class OF people, the small sal
aried people, who are being ground to
powder between the pronteers above
them and below them.

starve and freeze rather than take
