SURE OUTTA LUCK"
He Defends the Old Maid

Dear Cynthia would like to say
few words in defense of the single
women. who are referred to in such
sarcastic way by some OF your readers.
Who, in the first place, has a right to
call any one else an "old maid? 1t is
presumption, to say the least
I am speaking now of the sensible, re-
fined and up-to-date single women. a
class to which many belong. At present
the general public takes for granted that
all women more than thirty who are not
married are 'old maids" and considers
them ION the shelf"
This may sound absurd to some, but
nevertheless such feeling does exist
Half the women today who are single
are so because they wish to be, and is
this not their privilege and their right +?

What woman, for instance, who Is

effort at kissing them

Perhaps you are too shy. Get some OF
the boys you know to introduce you TO
some girls and go see these girls once

yells to the school and their coIors.

the school displays, seeing where

thought they had gone wild; others
