Dear Cynthia-There have been so
many discussions OF late In reference to
American and Foreign Wives" ] think
it ia about time I say something con.
cerning this matter. which has aroused
great Interest.
Well, first. why do so many American
men knock the foreign girls? They say
that they should remain where they
belong and mix in with their own kind
and give the American girls more
chances with their own kind. Now.
then, why do go many American girls
60 with foreign men? ! have known
many girls Of this kind, as they tell me
them sci Ives. They certainly do fall for
foreign fellows: a good many fall for
the handsome Italian fellows. OF course
these fellows have to be good looking or
they would give them the air. The
American girls don't even notice fellow
unless he happens to be good looking
That is all they look for. pleasure;
Yes, what do they turn out to be after
they have done nothing all their lives
but seek pleasure? But they never think
OF the fellows side. They really don't
care about them after they have spen:
their last cent on them. They say

whose nature Is a mystery to me. Per

Dear C-nthia--I have heard n great

that somo foreign girls are too tmid
TO fight for themselves, but there are
also some spunky ones. do not wish

some women get divorces for such

they could not stand an inch of trou.
