And now for the book. The book,
on the contrary, is rather new. 1t was
written by young man only twenty
three years old, who has just recently
been graduated from college. can
quite picture him, after he had dropped
that long, bulky manuscript into the
unsympathetic mail box. watching with
poorly simulated indifference each mail
as it was delivered. And in my mind s
eye, / can see the look of unbelieving
wonder that passed over his face when
he received the publishers letter, ac-
cepting this, his first book. I am told
that not very many copies were printed
in the first edition, but that so great
has been the demand for the book, and so
we'll liked is it, that already additional
copies have been printed. The book
itself is most interesting, and shows
great promise. The "crickets, those
literary persons who criticize books,
speak of its author as one of the coming
American novelists. Knowing all this,
you will naturally be even more interest
ed in the book than you might be ordi-
narily.

that none OF us dare to trust each other
enough to act ourselves in an entirely

"When a FelIer Needs a Friend"

Dear Cynthia was in love with n
girl about three years ago and sent her
presents from whatever army post
happened to be. especially the Islands" "
as they are known to us Doughboys. I
came home on furlough after 7 hit the
States again and found her still true to
me. I went away again to France and
wrote her more often than I did the folk
at home. but when I came on again I
found out that she was going out with
another fellow whom I die not even
paints, powders and does everything to
make herself look ridiculous, What
shall I do? I can't tell her to stop II
as no longer recognize her as a friend.
So what's n fellow going to do? She
still has my presents including a dandy
pair OF genuine Hawaiian slippers I sent
to her. Also her new friend Is wearing &
her golc wrist watch that I gave her.
When a feller needs a friend, Ell? She
Is a good girl. know. but I believe
now that a girl like that would do most
anything for good time.
PERPLEXED.
Unless you were engaged to this girl
you had no right to expect her not to 20
out with other men. And even II en-
gagged 1t does not seem quite reasonable
for you to expect her never to go out or
receive callers while you are away for
months at a time. Did you never take
another girl out or call on another the
whole time you were gone? Also had
you any understanding that you would
| not? It looks to me as II she had q
right to keep those presents, unless they
were given to her and accepted by her
only because an engagement existed

He's for Refinement

Dear Cynthia-In "Dc Jures" letter
last Saturday night he stated that all
so-called society was hypocrisy and
that people In that sphere were not real.
but puppets, or something to the same
effect.
l heartily agree with him that the
false standards of society today are
positively terrible when you reflect upon
them. but I must say that when you
mingle with refined well-educated peo-
pie, who take an interest in the higher
things Of life. you certainly do feel that
you have gained something.
Now please don't think that want to
run down business people who have no
time to spare for such things, because
I don't II you would undertake a little
more observation OF people. DE Jure,'

would realize that there are real people
in all walks Of life. BY the way, I'm not
considered society climber" either.
