Do you know that there are hardly more

The Truth About Steve Brodie

Dear Cynthia--Wii, you please print
the following so that Hidden Seek"
may read II?
II seems our friend, "Twenty.eighth
Division" has gotten Steve Brodie
mixed up with some one else. steve
made wager with some one that he
would jump off BrooNlyn Bridge. This
took place in 1900 and something, and
not 1900 Steve came up all right and
was dragged in from the river-but not
a couple Of days later. With the money
he started q ealoon on the Bowery and
was known all over the country as the
man who took Il chance" He exhibited
himself in various places and made
money this way. nm not sure but l
think he is still alive. SO you see, girls,
steve took n chance--and sUt away
with II. as we up-tO-daters say. How
ever, that isn't insuring your success,
and in taking a chance" you're liable
to run ashore" However, like Steve,
you might win out In days like tres.
l think we should strive to control that
urge OF wandering and adventure, which
comes to every young person some time
or other. AS young women, you Will
have to be doubly careful, for many are
the pitfalls which await the feet OF the
rnwary. With this wcll-meant advice,
go forth. II you must, and get real
taste OF, life bat do not forget yourself
your real self, or your spiritual self.

Dear Cynthia-This letter OF opinion
Is to Innocent" and other readers In

ing when the kissing is not too much
As Cynthia has told you 1t will lead you
into a habit not any too good for you.
II you kiss fellow couple OF times
that Is enough to lead him on further
and should be little more careful TO
whom you give your kisses. / think
that they show n little more friendliness
to the boy but when girl gives him
all the kisses he asks for he thinks that
she is not the right kind of n girl; so.
for my part, l would be n little more
moderate in kissing. I, for my part.

"My DEAR" said the shopper gently
reproachfully. laying restraining hand
upon her arm, "if that woman is q
day old she's all Of thirty five !"
She sat back grimly, as IL she had
forever condemned the poor old woman
Of thirty FIVE
As IL the mere fact of her having
reached that not so very great age could
take away from her charm. the sweet
ness of her manner, the beauty of her
voice.
What difference did It make whether
she was thirty five. or forty eight, or
twenty? She was attractive.

him personally at all.
She merely sat back in the eighteenth
row. with the glory of his voice filling
the theatre all about her.
But she was afraid she had better
be shocked at him because she had
heard vague remote stories about his
drinking.
