DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have just finished reading a let
ter written to you by some unpopu-
lar young lady. She has hard
time keeping a beau.
! cannot remain quiet and let
girls say such untrue things about
all boys In general. The average
man doesn't like a girl for her
kisses only. I know. for I have all
the boy friends / want, and l do not
when with a man, l allow no privi-
leges In public, that is among
friends, l sometimes playfully let
him hold my hand. or put his arm
around my waist. / have been told
hundreds of times that | am differ
ent from most girls-they tell me
they admire me for II. I am not OF
cold or mean disposition, but l
find that it pays to hold a man
from me.
l always try not to be tired when
in the company of young men, and
! try to make my actions suit his
feelings. If man liz tired, he ap-
fireside and a frisky, jolly little girl
to amuse him.
I think the trouble with most
girls is caused by the fact that they
always want to go somewhere-and
most always in a taxi, too.
/ am twenty-five, though l have
often been taken to be as young as
seventeen, and l have been OF the
"beaux" age long enough to know
how to act when In the company OF
a man. l might add, too, that /
have had several chances to have
husband, but l do not want to get
married. At least, not so soon.
I also think one reason for such
unhappy marriages is that so many
girls accept the first man who pro-
poses to her, and OF course. she
doesn't know what real love is.
But. indeed. | am not going to be
unhappy all the rest OF my life.
am going to bave my good times

And my life, I am sure. will be a
success for I will make u 20.

quite agree with him that he
didn't tell me everything. He told
me so little-and yet so much
that I've been positively miserable
ever since. All the time I'm in the
office / feel like somebody's going
to come up behind me and press
a gun against my ribs. and tell me
to "give up the papers" or some
thing.
OF course willard says there's
