"Prudenee" Is a Bit Abusive

Dear Cynthia-By what stretch of the

person will carefully peruse that letter

the fact that only one small paragraph
in II partakes Of the nature OF a satire.
1t refers to the snob type. Fortunately
that species In the extreme form por-
trayed Is rare.
The letter was written with the object
of starting a discussion In your column
on the modern man. | stated only

no condemnation excepting the para
graph already mentioned. To me a
good essay on our modern type OF Amer
lean manhood would be deeply inter
esting and, II by keen observer. educa-
tional. | wish TO thank Buck Private
for taking the matter up in the proper
spirit and giving such an interesting
letter on the subject
His intelligent grasp Of the idea con.
tained in my letter is In marked con-
trast to the insipid. meaningless. sar'
castle comment of MCWizzburg. who
unseXes me with the same sang froid
easy-going manner that he crltiCizes
without understanding the object OF his
criticism. Then he asks me TO get"
him Yes | grasp the fact that his
discernment is as deep as any that has
its origin in vaCuity. 1t Is accompanied

mind in a more concentrated form.
Since his understanding of satire is al

more accurate, a personal satire, a just

Why Condemn. Why Not Admonish7

Dear Cynthia-T have been II constant
reader Of your column for some time
writer's condemn the painted dolls"
why not help them by showing them
their faults instead of condemning them?
Some one is always ready to forgive
and help a man. but when girl Is down
and out she is condemned and never
given Il chance | have known several
such cases
This continual Tagging at them FOR
the use of paint and powder does not
help them any.
II people would express their candid
opinion II would probably do more good
than lies Tell the girl she uses too
much rouge or powder instead of ad-
miring her and then talking about her
behind her back. That does harm rather
than good. Maybe some OF your writer's
can help me out on this. A. J. l..

WHAT'S WHAT
BY HELEN DECTH

Clever business girls, teachers and
other professional women fnd II well to
adopt the trouble saving methods to
which some men are accustomed in the
daily turmoil of busy life. For instance,
n bright girl will notice that the average
man, when he Is reading his morning or
evening paper in the train or street car,
manages to adjust the sheets of the
journal so that he can read II conven-
iently without annoying his neighbors.
In the illustration only one of the two
men is holding his paper properly.
This IL accomplished by folding the
paper lengthwise and holding u thus
while he reads. When It Ia necessary to
turn to another page he does not open
the whole paper, but merely turns the
leaves OF his improvised pamphlet until
he has found the place he Ia seeking,
then with one motion he opens the place
and refolds the other pages A little
practice will make this easy, and viii
prevent the discourtcous and reNatious
practice of holding paper so wide open
that II rustles into the face of n fellow
passenger
