Disagrees With CYNTHIA

Dear Cynthia Il certainly cannot
agree with you, when you take sides so
strongly in blaming girls for leyity of
cohduCt on the part of men. ANY and
all men beast about their conauests with
girls, ana there are very few, n any
men especially at present, who are
spending their money for nothing" to
use phrase of their own.
l think there are many girls who
would be content TO have 4 few nice
men friends without the thought OF n
Kiss 20 not believe there Is such a
thing in the world as a man who is even
signify willing to maintain friendship
for woman on that basis At least. no,
for very long. There is not any s,lcn
thing as Platonic friendship. Men arc
not built that way. Any girl who has
experience with men knows that
II you blame the girls in every case,
you certainly must be very innocent or
else you have no experience in the world
PLATO.
Plato. you do not understand Cynthia's
point-it will have to be explained
She maintains If the girls always
showed by their manner and general ne.
havior that they would not stand for any
freshness on the part of the men, the
men would rot attempt It, There are, of
course, some men with no sense or the
proper thing, who insist on urging their
attentions upon girl. but if she rebufrs
them, they will not attempc second ia
