What Does She Mean?

Dear Cynthia-Herc is a case stranger
than that Of Dr. Jellyll and Mr. Hyde
What do you think of the girl who
will not allow me to hug her. yet who
is always nesting close TO me. always
buttoning my coat adjusting my neck
tie, pinChing my cheeks. etc?
What do you think of the girl who
does not like cave man stuff who al
with fellows. might have had with fel-
lows, etc, yet who only wants to be in
the dark with me, and will not let me
leave when | want to?
What do YOU think Of the girl who
begs me to allow her to kiss me, and
who asks me TO kiss her?
can't make IT out. Cynthia. When
she gets me going, and | want to squeeze
the lie out of her. she stops me, tells
me she doesn't like rough stun. and only
wants me to act friendly toward her.
! am about as dense on love affairs
as a fish. and would appreciate it i'm
mcnsely if you would explain her ac-
tons and IL you would tell me how to
act toward her. DICkY
Cynthia thinks that this girl is one
OF those strange creatures who think
any kind Of liberty is all right as long
as she exercises ii, but the minute the
boy responds to her teasing and flirting,
becomes shocked
Now. II is just as wrong for her to
tantaliZe and tease, as you describe ii, as
!
liberties with her In fact it is worse,
because man will not stop a woman
doing that sort of thing for fear he
will be called a ''goodY good But the
man who has strength Of character
enough to refuse 70 be treated as this
girl has treated you would gain the re-
speCt of others.
She ought to be ashamed o. herself
She has no moral sense. but is one OF
those persons who probably think they
are all right so long as they do no actual
bad act Yet she spends her time bait
ing and tantalizing a man until he does
want to respond to her advances and
then she treats him az II he were very
great wrong-doer. Cynthia firmly be-
lieves that such women are more the
cause of the downfall of some men than
those who are actually bad, and yet
such girls would be indignant If they
we're told so TO their faces. They have
much to answer for They are not
strictly speaking, immoral but they Ger,
taluly are immoral

A Puzzled Secretary

sTo the Editor OF Wonan'S Pa0e:
Dear Madam am a constant reader
of your column. but l have never had
nerve enough to. ask you this question,
which has long been troubling me.
am the secretary of q club of seven
girls, and | think that the minutes l
write for each meeting are getting tire
some. although the girls have not said
anything about 1t.
| would greatly appreciate 1t If you
could give me some ideas about writing
up my minutes to make them more in.
tereSting. - l.. b.
There is a certain form that has to
be followed in the writing of minutes,
as you know. One is apt to become too
strict in keeping to this. however, with
the result that the minutes become stiff
and cut and dried. so that they do not
hold the interest when they are read.
would suggest that you try to make
yours more descriptive. In way these
minutes are like letters. and If YOU will
think of them in that way and tell about
the last meeting in "talky" fashion l
know that the girls will like 1t. You
see. you can do this, as your club Is
small and bound to be more or less in.

THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES

RuSkin's there would not he a cure for
many of our ills.
4 woman ! know seems to accom-
plish q great many things. and when
people remark that, some day it will
tell on her she says. On the contrary,
It doesn't even take all my time. l
insist upon having a good part of every
afternoon to myself and manage to get
out-indeed l rush out.
We will certainly agree that some
thing is going to tell on her soon and
it will not be the work she has ac-
complished 1t will be her rushing
to get out.
And the peculiar thing about 1t is
that there is not some place every after
noon that she really wants very much
to get to- It is just the idea of get
ting out" In fact. if she stops to
think about it she would usually enjoy
much more staying at home and doing
her work in comfort instead of rush e
ing to get out.
And this idea of getting out is a
virulent germ that would spoil our dis
positions, give us wrinkles and ruin our
health
The idea Of recreation is cessation
of work, change that is rostful be
cause it rests the faculties that we use
when we are working. But if we are
going to worry about getting To it, If
we are going to rush to get to il and
then perhaps have on our minds some
thing left undone, it is going to do us
more harm than any amount. of work.
Every woman who has crushed

restful to have ar hours leisure and
spend the rest working in comfort and
with peace of mind than to get three
hours by rushing.

the gloves. If these are long one

SAYS People Sheer at Her

Dear Cynthia-Be so kind and give
your opinion about young women who
are over twenty-five years of age. Do
YOU think they are all hopeless and vain
Do you believe there are some who have
barred pleasures and love from their
lives to aid parents? The writer Is
positively one who has done all that and
more and finds herself considered weak
minded and insane by the community at
large. Children of six years sneer at her
when they see her People think II
great fun to laugh at her sorrow Her
relatives treat her as an inferior person
and show much contempt for her Shall
she continue to bear her cross or shall
she break away from such crcum-
stances and try to start anew? r s.
A girl is by no means hopeless be-
cause she IL not yet married and twenty
FIVE. She has been a brave and fine
woman to sacrifice pleasures to help
needing parents. At the same time she
should not give UP everything. IL she can
help II. and she should not sacrifice her
entire life for them If love comes to her
still be cared for. Some day they will be
taken from her by death. and If she
has turned always from love who will
be with her to care for and comfort her
then?
But certainly no one with any kind tof
mind or intelligence will sneer at girl
who has not married and has taken care
Of her parents On the contrary. she
should be honored for her unselfishness
Rest assured the unkind who sneer at
goodness do so because they are inca
pable Of sacrifice and real kindness
themselves.

Please Tell Me
What TO DO
She Has Not Answered
BY CYNTHIA

Dear Cynthia--About a week ago |
received some good sound advice from
you and wish to thank you heartily for
It.
This advice concerned an apology
which had sent to a girl unsigned. You
advised me to apologize for my rudeness
in not signing my name and TO ask her
to accept my first apology also. This I
did and signed my name to the letter,
but. Cynthia ! have waited several
days and she has not answered me yet
why? Is It possible that she has not
accepted my apologies? Shouldn't she
at least answer nv letter and tell me
what is WHAT. DO you believe she will
write?
What shall do?
JE SU1S PERDC.
There Is nothing further that you can
do about IT, II the girl will not accept
your apologies you had better forget
about Il and her You have done the
manly thing and If she does not appre-
cIate your efforts to be friends with her
YOU can do nothing but let the matter
drop.
Perhaps the young girl is shy and does
not know how to express herself in writ
ing If she is sensible she will write you
little note asking you to call and then
she can tell you that she accepts your
apology. OF course, Cynthia does not
know the offense for which you apollo
gized. but unless II was a very serious
matter she should accept your overtures.
