to that effect). I don't think all girls

not n complaint, but I often wanted to
write and seek advice. but did not want
the letter printed, So hence came this),
sometimes you print answers and not
the letter. But still some time ago you
asked one of the fans why she did not
want the letter printed. And Judging
from some of the answers the letters
would be interesting. Now. Cynthia,
one more: When some Of the fans write

ask you a few questions which you do
not answer. why? Cynthia, please

If you read the column carefully YOU
will know that Cynthia does not answer
questions about the writer's. Also let
ters are not printed when a request is
made not to do SO. Cynthia asked one
writer why she did not want the letter
printed because there was absolutely no
personal problem in It And why not
print interesting letters IL they are not
too personal?
The first letters nearly always ask
advice and get It. Then other readers
like to write their opinions, and most
of us think the discussions interesting
any advice you ask, Cynthia will try to
give.
