Her Experience

Dear Cynthia-For the last few weeks
I have noticed quite a discussion as to
the girls being to blame for a fellow
being mushv.. Yet my answer is that
both are to blame.
Several months ago / was introduced
to fellow at my Office and to all APP
pearances he was perfect gentleman.
So bashful was he that when he acct
dentally touched my hand one day he
blushed to the roots of his hair. and was
all day apologiZirg. OF course ! was very
much impressed and when he asked me
TO attend a party | naturally accepted,
thinking ] would be in the best or COM
pany. Here I was to be surprised, for az
was a different sort OF person entirely
when out In company. We we're the
Youngest couple at the gathering. which
happened 70 be a wedding OF his sister.
and so ! was surprised to see him Drink
ing as though II were an everyday oc-
currence with him.
When II came time to 60 home we
were sent home In private car and so
were quite secluded. The first thing was
a sudden caress and kiss. pushed him
away and was ready to cry with anger.
he loved me. | finally stopped my blub-
bering and when he went to kiss me
again ! yielded. I felt very small when
faced him at the Office the next day.
but as he made no mention of II didn't
either. In the afternoon one of the girls
asked me how | liked his kisses. I was
furious thinking he had told her, but
here she told me | was all wrong. for he
hadn't told, but that he was known to
kiss every girl he ever took home. I re-
fused to speak to him only when busi
ness made II necessary.
This went on until about month ago
when the frm gave farewell dinner
to one OF our statesmen who was leaving
AS this young man and myself repre-
sent our department we were paired on

and promised TO behave himself

His lovemaking after that wasn't SC

left him at the curb with a curt
good-by; and his parting remark
