One of the most battling cases
revolved around body upon which
a battered wrist watch was the only
clew. Tracing the watch number
from the manufacturers down to
the retailer, the war department
found II had been sold to q lieu

When a man wants real sport, he

Few men care TO compete with a
girl at anything. A man doesn't feel
chivalrous. he feels mean if he

Gated flappers of the time.
Now the fIapper is a receptive
young person. Her present popu-
larity extends even to the domina-

cause men of all ages like her ways,
women of all ages strive to initiate
her.
However, her individual career is
short. BY no aItifice can a girl re-

instructed by q man in sports ana

After she is eighteen. even II her

For a flapper cannot possibly as

this knowledge raises her rapidly oct
of the state of flapperdom!
Even in her wiser condition, and
after repeated " initiation" in to the
games men like, she seldom remem-

rateIy enough to make a sincere ran.
And this is because woman has
but one real sport. 1t is the game Of
hearts.
In all other sports. her game is
poor This is because her mind is
on herself and her costume rather
than her skill.
