WHAT'S WHAT
by HELEN DEcIE

Very amusing to onlookers, but not
too pleasant for the distracted conduc-
tor, is the little feminine sauabble about
paying carfare. This Is not. as might be
Judged from all the to-do. q quarrel as
II Is, rather, mutual protest against
the picayune treat" with the result
that both attempt to pay double fare
while their dispute halts other passen-
gers and delays traffic.
When one woman accompanies an
other into a car and the first insists
upon paying fare for both, the other
one should tender brief thanks, and say
no more about II. If she happens to
be with the same woman again, she car,
nav the double fare then. As no ont
wants to be under succession OF petty
obligations to another, the best way to
deal with the woman who clamors to
paw every ones fare is pleasantly to re-
quest her to pay her own-and only her
own-traveling expenses.

They Are Lonesome

Dear Cynthia-We have been reading
your very interesting column in the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER and have de-
cided to bring our problem to your notice
and seek your advice
We are four young men whose homes
are in the Middle West and have come to
Philadelphia to attend the University
of Pennsylvania.
We all come from good families and
are accustomed to associate with the
best young ladies in our home towns. As
this Is our first year here, we are eX-
ceedingly anxious to meet some nice
girls.
None of US is acquainted in Philadel-
phia and so far we have been very
lonesome.
On several evenings and on Sundays
we have nothing to do and the time
passes very slowly.
We wish that you would tell us
through the columns of the EVENING
PUBLIC LEDGER where and in what man.
ner we could meet some girls.
FOUR LONESOME YOUNG MEN.
Cynthia is sorry that she has no way
of introducing you to some girls Have
your families no friends or connections
In Philadelphia at all to whom they
could send you with letters Of introduce
tion? Have you not met any men here
who will introduce you to their sisters
and friends? Follow out those lines,
you'll soon meet many nice girls.

Poor Cactus

Dear Cynthia-Here are some good
reasons why young guy" like me can't
see the idea of marriage:
1. l can WELD a needle and thread
pretty well, considering that I'm a
male.
2. was once a cook in a railroad
camp car. But now / pay board and
don't have to worry about the cooking
3. A single man is free to a certain
extent that Is. within the law of course
4. As soon as one marries his or her
best and in most cases happy days are
over.
S. A fool idea on the mans part to
take unto himself the trouble Of handins
woman a meal ticket for the rest OF
her life. CACTUS.
Cheer up, Cactus, you'll feel bette,
some day. Did you ever consult a
physician?
