What a Good Man Is

Dear Cynthia--As n rule. | do not care
to answer letters which appear in the
papers, for somehow ] never felt that
they were really sincere, but I could not
resist the temptation to answer Good
Man" He asks what one means when
they say good man." This Is
rather hard to answty, for there is some-
thing good In every one, and all that Is
needed Is some person to bring that
good out. Very often when this good
Is brought to the surface the man or
woman is filled with shame for the bad
they may have done. and with little
help. life that has been careless or,
even in the eyes of the world bad,
turns out to be one worthy of much
praise.
My definition Of good man would be
one who. would make a suitable father
traits that ! would mot care to see IN
my children. If men and women would
analyze one another in this manner
rather think there would be more happi-
ness In the world and less need of ask
ing foolish questions of the public at
large; and further, II men and women
knew this test was going TO he aDplieo
mavbe their lives would be different.
In closing, I would say men should
remember that II takes two to make a
happy home. that It is not a one-sided
AFFAIR and more Is needed than handing
In so much money. It takes patience
sacrifice. respect for one another
when things 30 wrong to make for hap
piness. and II these We're lived up TO.
there would be less talk about bad men
and bad women and unhappy marriages.
NJ. II. F.
Sorry that you doubt the sincerity of
our writer's. Cynthia assures you most
OF the contributors are sincere.
