tributed to your columns an ar
ticle OF criticism in regard TO
faults OF men, so l will do so
myself. Now, what about the men?
Do we ever take notice OF the
things they do. and let me tell you
they have their methods of maxi
ing themselves handsome and at
tractive TO the fair sex. 1 have
brothers, and know. Although
my brothers are not extreme in
this respect, yet they tell me so
much about the fellows who fight
to get to the mirrors at a dance to
see IL their hair is parted just in
the middle. and they would die IL
their white collars showed the
least bit above their coat collars in
the back, this being one OF their
latest fads. And let me whisper
that ! know OF some men who ac-
tually use rouge, so all those rosy
cheeks are not natural, girls, al
though men are never accused OF
such a thing. ! once had occasion
to converse with the proprietor of
a well-known barber shop. and he
told me they have a way of manu-
featuring" rosy cheeks for meT,
this blush of health lasting for
about n week, and that so many
men take advantage OF this meth
cd. And did you ever notice those
male + street walkers. aren't they
the funny looking creatures, with
those extreme tight-fitting suits
and those classy spats? They also
hang around the dance halls every
night: in other words. all their
brains are in their feet. There are
just hundreds OF this type of man.
Now, girls, haven't we the right
and privilege of pointing out the
