your column? | would like to tell
Anxious" a few things.
Anxious" your dislike of the Ital-
ians displays a great lack of broad
mindCdness and refinement. This is my
first impression of the person with an
opinion such as yours. The street clean
ers are not the representatives OF the
entire Italian nation. There are good
and bad people Of every nationality in
this world Just think for moment of
the great scientists, inventors and art
lists there are, great number of whom
are Italians. Haven't the Italians been
valiant during the recent war?
If you will pardon me for my frank
ness, must say that you are snob.
| am of Italian parentage and am
mighty proud of the fact. / am quite
few years younger than you, but |
think | have wee bit more common
sense and kindness. Don't you?
Beauty does not count as much as
character. think if you would acquire
a beautiful character to go with your
good looks, it would pay in the end.
Wake up, Anxious" and see If
am not right. \. G.. II. s. GIRL.
You are quite right. There are good
and bad in all nations. Some of the
finest men and women living are Of
Italian birth.
Claims Red Hair Does Not Attract
Dear Cynthia-Please publish this in
your column:
To Kcnsington Girl: ! am a red
haired girl and | find that I'm no more
popular than the brunettes at a party.
It's not your hair that the boys like,
but your character. Isn't that so, Gym
THAI Try it and you'll find out. The
fact is, most boys hate girls with
red hair unless their faces or Charac-
ters make them change their minds.
WISSAHICKON GIRL.
Yes, it's character that counts in the
long run, but pretty hair and good
looks attract, too.
A Romantic Dream
Dear Cynthia-I wonder If any OF
your readers have ever stopped to think
what n wonderful thing love j., I
don't mean an everyday love, so called.
Not a love some girls have for every
Tom, Dick and Harry they meet, or
not love some girls have for every
pretty face they see. ! mean deep,
pure love, such as we only experience
once in n lifetime, and that some never
know. l think it is wonderful feeling
even though we never get the one in
whom We place all our love and hopes.
You know, 'tis said, ut is better to
have loved and lost than never 10 have
loved at all, and / believe il. For
instance, myself, now.
When / was but eighteen year, l met
young fellow from Kentucky; you
know the kind, Cynthia-perfect gen
tlenan where ladies are concerned.
Well, from the first minute ] laid eyes
on him ! experienced the grand pas
sion," and for two years my life was
just bound up in him, / couldn't eat,
I couldn't sleep, couldn't work-just
went from one position to another. All
| could think Of was him, and wonder
what he was doing. But it was SO deep
and pure, Cynthia, that l could never
tell a soul that | loved him, and even
he never knew, even to this day, and
nine years have passed since first met
him. When any Of my girl friends
would ask do / love him, / would al
ways answer, "Well, like him, but ]
don't know whole lot about love
wait a while" Even to him that was
my answer OF course, he would rave
and say ] was incapable Of loving any
one, / was ice, etc. And l used tc
think, oh, IL he only knew what was
going on inside my heart! But ] wal
foo bashful and proud to let him know
