She Showed His Letter

Dear Cynthia am girl eighteen
years old. in love with a young man six
years my senior. About two years ago
this young man was called away TO
camp he started writing me some very
nice letters, which ! answered In re-
turn. as we were neighbors. Finally he
arrived home on a furlough. While he
was home | was out with him several
times and he acted as perfect gentle
man toward me, which made me care
for him more. He returned to camp and
within a few weeks sailed for France.
When he arrived in France received a
very serious letter from him. which,
thinking no harm. showed to his people.
and I never heard from him again. This
young man has been back home for
about six months now and has never
as much as spoken to me once. Do you
think that the cause could De my show
ing his mail to his people. and do you
Cynthia. 1t would break my heart to
think that we were never to be friends
again, as I love him dearly and could
never love another.
BROKEN N-HEARTED. =
II looks like Question of breach
of trust, dear. The young man evidently
wrote you as he never would have
the proper perception Of that confidence
and did that which to some persons IL
almost unforgiyable. You showed those
thoughts to some one else, even though
that some one was a close relative. And
when he learned of 1t you just stepped
down off the pedestal he had put you on
1t was not exactly your fault, because
vou did not put yourself on that pedestal
And yet, you should have known thai
letter was meant only for you. It's {
mended by words and explanations. Fo
tho two poiuts of view are different

SHE WAS NTS7FULLY PRETTY
UNTIL SHE BEGAN TO SPEAK
But She Allowed Het Voice to Come Straight Through Her
Nose and the Ugly Nasal Tone Spoiled Her Whole Effect

A MOTHER perfectly good dream
"A wasted! She couldn't be the
daughter of the great king With that
voice. The kings daughter might use a
little mild slang now and then just to
prove that she, is modern, but she
wouldn't, she couldn't, even IL she were
the seventh and last daughter, she
couldn't talk through her nose that way.
She'd be afraid of cutting the princes
head off with the edge Of her voice!
Why do girls, pretty girls like that,
talk In that grating nasal tone? 1t is
really deplorable to think of the number
Of times the remark Is made about a
girl ''Oh, yes, she's awfully pretty and
all that, but as soon as she opens her
mouth she spoils 1t ALL" It's such
girl come out with voice that Is just
as sour and thin as vinegar.
Every one agrees that the soft voice,
the full, rich voice, the sweet voice or
the musical voice--any Of those voices
that we call ''cultured"--is prettier
than one Of these nasal, 'twanging tones
that sound like fat. thin note on
violin. Yet it's the last thing that most
people seem to cultivate. Pretty girls
have their hair treated, shampooed
waved and arranged. They have their
nails manicured; they buy just as ex-
pensive clothes and hats and shoes as
they can possibly afford-in order to, bc
good looking. But they never spend
minutes tine or cent of money or
cheir voices. They keep the same ugly
thin tones that they could so easily
open up and round out into sometime
pretty. This one feature completely
ruins the whole effect of marcel, mani
cure, dress, hat and French shoes
Why don't they realize this and make
people say whole -heartedly. "1sn sh'
pretty?" instead of remarking critically
''she's very attractive until she opens
] her month";

ing things. Also enjoy reading every
thing. But since that nut DE Jure" has
entered the peaceful home. why it's time
for me to say good night. Although

think he has the sense of fish. He
must have been hit pretty hard to talk
that way about the fair SEX" and I
am sure many girls think as 1 do. I
wish | knew that girl that gave de
Jure' the razz, for she had good sense.
And it's about time he dropped out of
the column. He takes up too much room
entirely. He sure Is wasting his time.
He should be on the stage singing his

pack my grip and say good-by.. L hope,
Cynthia. my letter is not too long and

felt that to be carefully and properly
dressed they had to have on tight stays

skirts, or other devices that made them
frightfully uncomfortable without really
making them any more modest or refined
or anything else?
Now it is all very we'll to- say that
had you lived then you would have
dressed sensibly and that you would
have been comfortable, anyway. May
be you would, but ninety nine women
