''Father Doesn't " ant Me to Do Anything''

What she meant was. "FuthCr has
oeen prosperous and he thinks it must
follow that he maintain his daughters
An parasitic luxury
Strange, isn't it, that father does not
realize that in his desire TO go give his
daughters the benefit of his success he
is making himself their worst enemy.
For he is neglecting the first duty Of
every father to his children, md that
Is to fit them and train them to be in
dependent, and if the necessity arise,
TO be able to make their own way in

best husbands have met with rrverscs

Dear Cynthia--Tn answer to the query
that "A Good Girl but Disguised" In
serted in your column, i would like 10
tell her the following:
When a young man takes out a young
lady to a dance. he does not expect In
nine cases out OF ten to marry her at
any later date. He apparently takes her
out 50 that he can have an enjoyable
time. 1t IL true that girl should not
be too much Of a good sport, but little
informalty does not do any harm. Per-
sonally ! have found out that the girls
who pretend to look nghast at "lnfor-
mality" might be more Informal" II they
had the courage to do so.
So, dear Miss, please do not Judge
lest ye be judged" The young lady who
appears to be informal at times might be
still very modest.
In reference to Unfair Play" do
not see why that term should be used at
all. Those girls, at least q majority of
them. are fair. NINETEEN"
Too much formality is a great mistake.
People should pay attention to conven-
tions which affect morality. but the
stickler for formality is generally a very
stiff and unpleasant person.
