Answer "Experte Credev

Dear Cynthia--We would like to say
few words to "EXperte Crede."
We would like to say what we think of
his experience few weeks ago. Our
good judgment seems to make us think
the young ladies you speak of are for
mushing II up. You seemed to be very
good company for any one who IL dis
gusted with the mushy kind, or for any
one who Is a bit sensible
we are not looking for the right one.
nut Just out for good time. We will
not stand for any mushiness. as we think
we can have good time in the same
way in which you tried few weeks
ago. Now don't by all means start the
mushy part, you might be sorry. You
are likely to meet another girl who
thinks the same as we do and be sorry
your hands weren't in a sling when you
see you went too far
Don't let these girls spoil you. as we
think you are the kind any one with
ideas liks ours Is looking for.
Although Cynthia says there are many
good young men we are unable to find
any such as you are. We are not con-
ceited and were told by many how very
attractive we are, so It isn't because we
cant meet them. We are not the kind
that fiirt with every one who comes our
way. We are always introduced proper
ly. We have large circle of friends and
have all the chances a girl could wish
for. as We are very popular among our
friends. BY mere chance we might meet
you as we go running our racer along
the low roads.

Dear Cynthia-will you please publish
this in answer to Two Disguised Girls" ?
! am one whom believe you would
call mushy. At least have been told 80
by quite few girls. Whether l am
mushy or not does not matter.
In our crowd, we have two young
ladies who are both highly respectable.
daughters of prominent men, My ex-
perience with these two girls Is that
they desired to have love made to them.
one'of them told me so in just so
many words. The other. one once de-
scribed kiss that had given to her
as fire and ice ,Nder velvet" These
two young ladies are in a great measure
responsible for all the mushing / have
ever done. Several times | have come
away from their homes with powder on
my shoulder.
They expect a good might kiss every
time / call: These kind of girls lead
boys to believe that they all want It..
Consequently they try II on other girls
and usually get a slap in the face.
Now. Two Disguised Girls" wcht
to say that no boy. however mushy he
way If he hadn't been led on by a girl
That's the truth, and you cant get
away from 1t, They must not forget
that their first ancestor, Eve, was the
cause of the downfall OF man, and there
are plenty of girls following in her foot
steps. So don't blame the poor boys,
but try to educate them differently
WASHER.
Cynthia hopes the girls who are care
less In the matter of love.making will
read this letter. "Masher" Is right-if
love-making and promiscuous kissing the
men would not attempt 1t. It is too bad
to have to say II but II is true that in
most cases the girl Is to blame.

REGRETS He Spooned

Dear Cynthia--I noticed a letter in
your column, which. by the way seldom
read, and the sound common-sense Of
your criticism prompts me to send that
which might prove helpful TO some
foolish girl. This is the criticism and
advice of man who has played the
fooliSh game. and as he looks back over
the past II Is with shame and rsmorse.
He has in mind the silly and too often'
dangerous pastime of "spooning." Silly.
because II is beneath intelligence, and
dangerous. because IL never breeds re-
spect in the mind and heart of man
for the girl who permits It, I have
spooned with far more girls than I care
to recall and never did 1t without the
feeling that the girl who permitted It
would allow other liberties. No girl
cheapened in my estimation. And
numberless conversations with men OIL
! this subject convinced me that men as
a class were unit in this. I do not
tndiscrimnate kissing and hugging some
girls allow II sounds cowardly, but
the girl ! married was one with whom
! tried TO get fresh. and who promptly
cut me from her list of friends ana was
sufficiently candid to tell me tnaJ my
conduct had proved my unftness to
associate with decent girls. AS I look
back I realize that her stand alone gave
me a conception Of girls that ! had all
but destroyed, for while | was willing
to indulge the worst in my life it had
been on the specious plea that was
not at fault since II I ddnt spoon with
! the girls some one else would. No man
kisses a girl unless he is prompted by
the worst or the best. His kiss is either
| the earnest of his love or the measure
| of his lack of respect. Let any girl
ask man If this is so and II he is
truthful she will learn that when a
| girl permits respect for her TO be broken
down in mans estimation he believes OF
| her only the worst. and his judgment Is
based upon her modesty and reserve or
| lack OF these protective and wOmanly
| characteristics. Years ago I said
! would never marry until I found a girl
who would allow me no privileges until
I had asked her to honor me with her
life and love. And today my shame is
that I made no effort to make this real
to the girls | met but "spooned with the
! crowd" REMORSEFCL.
