The newest and quite the most cor

JUSTICE IN LOVE
The Modern American Girl Is
Making New Demands

The modern American girl has been
dubbed "an enameled metal lady"
Perhaps her beauty does conceal
some hardness, but sometimes this
metallic luster only indicates the eX-
istence of a shield by which she pro-
tects a too tender heart from the
hurt Of loving.
The saner OF her sex. instead Of
getting behind a defense, are lately
demanding new justice in love.
One of this type writes:
"When / was first engaged, l was
marvelously happy.
"A year later, when we were plan
ming our home. I noticed that the
man who had voluntarily promised
never to love any woman but me was
growing Indifferent and neglectful.
/ became suspicious.
"Is there another girl?' | asked.
"He admitted that there was.
"'And you love her better than
me?'
"'Yes!' he replied. Please believe
that / am sorry. | did not mean to
hurt youl But you will get over it,

for five months. Time passes. but
do not get over it, I think more
and more of him, he thinks less and
less of me.
"And it isn't fairi lie was cruel
to smash all of my plans for my
future without warning. ] had
known him for three years and from
rthe beginning ! had been interested
in no other man. He knew this and
yet he could say that / would get
over loving him!
with that for his excuse, he picks
up the thread Of new romance While
all the interests Of my life are
snapped short. 1t is like a sudden
death by accident
"And he doesn't even perceive that
I have been wronged
II think men ought TO be taught
4 the truth about how good girls love

/ get as easily as he could forget.

his long ears.

1t was moments such as these that
