REPLYING TO "SUNSHINE."

Sunshine" seems wrong in her idea
that most boys prefer girls who will
submit to hugging and kissing. At
least our male writer's say she Is.
These young writers all claim that
men have the greatest possible re-
spect for girls who are circumspect.
c. A., for instance. says: 81 have
more respect for the girl who does
not permit familiarities."
B-4 Gays: "I have been out with
many girls and do not try to hug and
kiss them. I prefer girls who do not
stand for this sort OF thing"
"MOONSHINE" declares that a fell
low does not often make dates with a
girl unless he cares for her. and in
the event she cares for him. why
shouldn't they hug and kiss n little7-
He adds that unless there is real
affection the girl should not permit

Advice
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am only seventeen. but am in love.
The trouble Is do not love the right
one. He CANDLES, is a prize-fghter, hates
to work, and oh. so many more useless
things. He gave up gambling and is
very kind to me. But he is going to
have another night in a short time. He
is very brave. and all the girls I know
much as do.
He does not tell me he loves me; all
he does is kiss me. I do not understand
why l allow IT, but do and cannot help
1t. Oh, am even afraid OF myself
sometimes He seems to have a hypnotic
it is impossible. He does not seem to
care to go with any other girl but me.
There is another fellow who loves me
in clean. pure way and who would do
his best to make me happy. but I do not
love him, though like and respect him
very much. He asked me to marry him.
and I promised him I would. I thought
] would try to forget the other fellow.

never be very happy, ' was content and
l did not see Michael any more. I am TO
be married In three weeks. Now 7 have
again met Michael and again ! am Just
wild to have him kiss me and call me
sweetheart
He asked me to meet him. and again,

ing to meet him. Oh. please-you see
how terrible II all is-please tell me
what to do. The day my hance told me
he loved me told him I loved someone
else whom I will never marry. so he told
me that he would try to make me forget
him and he Is so kind II hurts me to
fool him. G. A
Your prize-fghting friend seems
to be a dangerous young man. His
gambling instinct and his brutal
desire to dominate-in the ring or
In his emotional relations-may
make him fascinating to many
women, but they won't make
him tender and considerate Of
any. Avoid him at any cost. He
seems to lack ideals and apprecia-
tion OF anyone's viewpoint but his
own. Tn afraid that you can't con-
auer your infatuation by rushing
yourself into a loveless marriage.
A thing like this must be fought
out and conquered by yourself. The
other mans tenderness might actu-
ally repel you--because II came
from the wrong man.

Success and Fair Play
Only One Can VIM But All Can Have the Satisfaction

ALSO THIS LETTER.

The term cake-eater was first ap-
piled (by young people writing to
H and s. to a set OF fashionably
dressed young chaps who gathered
around Thirteenth and F streets and
whose diet largely consisted OF cake,
| ice cream, and sweet drinks. Liter
ally. they were cake-eaters. Their
STYLES of dress we're very different
| from ordinary young men seen
throughout the city, being ultra
fashionable, even freakish. They
were popularity regarded as spend
thrifts, having no serious thoughts,
intent upon dancing and other pleas
ures. and perfectly willing that their
girl friends should pay the oills'
when they we're broke, as most often
they were. One occupation was
"vamping" and flirting with passing
girls, F. street being the show street
of the town.
Neither at the beginning nor since
has "cake-eater" had a vulgar or i'm
proper meaning, as interpreted in
some cities. 1t has about the same
meaning as President Roosevelt
gave to the word MOLLYCODDLE,
his conception of an effeminate sort
of man who wasted the golden hours
in frivolities and was OF little use to
society in general.
Young people have recently used
the word Unfortunately as joke
when talking to or about friends or
acquaintances, without meaning to
be insulting, many accepting 1t good
naturedly as having no improper ap-
plication. In many cases 1t is jocu-
larly applied to manly young men
who are far removed from the class
that might be included in the word
mollycoddle.
On the other hand, the word has
come to be used in derision and to
purposely create ill-feeling. Ere
Quently distinction is not made be-
tween well-dressed, outstanding,
useful young fellows and the real
fops or dudes, who affect certain
style. often use face powders, per-
fumes. lipsticks, and appurtenances
recognized as feminine.
| The Mollys are adopts In dancing
and attract a certain class Of Wash
in gton girls who adore dancing and
worship the male species OF ultra
stylish dress. These girls make enc
mics for the Mollys by refusing to
dance with sensibly dressed young
men. comforting their favors wholly
upon the cakes. This has made Bit
ter feeling.
So far as II and S is concerned, it
prefers that its young writers shall
be charitable and kindly in their ref
erences to others and omit all sting.
Kindly fun is the rule OF this column.
