was that elephants have hide, not hair.
These, !, understand, are made from,

Dear Cynthia-Are there any ,eai
men" In this world? can't find any.
Cynthia, dear, was going with q.
young man and I did not love him at
first. but just as friend. 1t grew into
love. but when he asked me to marry him
just took 1t as a Joke and laughed II
OH. as I'm only eighteen and he said ne
loved me. Just as soon as he found out
l loved him he has played with me like
a toy. Cynthia. there Is no future ahead
OF me. nothing but dark clouds. At
night cry myself to sleep over one who
isn't worth II and wonder II hell come
back to me. When a woman loves a
man she loves him forever. but Il man
never loves a woman like that .
l have a wonderful mother and a good
home, but why has he left me with 4
broken heart? I'm hoping that no one
will ever suffer like I have, and wishing
you success and happiness. Cynthia dear.
A LONE STAR.
Why is there no future before you
dear? II you have found that this man
does not love you and has been disre-
spectful and unkind. thank God you

Dear Cynthia--This Is my first ap-
pearance in your column, although l
have been an interested reader fer some
time. What is causing me to write now
Is the desire to speak a word In defense
of the modern girl' or "iapper," as
people like to cali her. I have heard
SO many older people criticizing the
young people Of today that at last I am
up in arms for US You see, am young.
toe. but I admit at first l was rather
disguised with things as they were
getting to be. However, I've been mis-.
understood in so many things myself
that l now have a fellow feeling for
other mortals In the same fix. Just
because the m"dern girl has thrown
away some OF the old. dried-up, useless
conventions. particularly those pertain.
ing to clothes. why should she be cred
tied with the very worst possible mo-
tives? No older generation yet has
been able to enter into or understand
the rebellion of youth. SO why should
we expect 1t of the present one?
Nevertheless, II does hurt to hear some
OF the opinions expressed by. shall I say
our mothers? One OF the most valuable
and also most rare possessions Is toler.
ance. Where Is It?
Let US hope for better mutual feelings
between the older and younger genera
tions in the near future.
