Girls

Dear Syntma-Wnat would Fou tnink
years old. loves swimming, bali games
music and things along those lines
but doesn't like many boys and girls.
She considers the majority Of girls Of
her age to be simple and "giddy" and
said to him" and "he said to me- and
considers to be "fckle" and wanting
girls to help them in their nonsensicai
play. Boys, as a rule. don't attract her.
She does like older girls who have more
be bothered with a 'kid" Of eighteen.
IN fact, she doesn't like "giddy" kids.
tThats all they are) Do you think
she H. wrong In not going out with peo-
pie Of her own age and not joining IL
better stay home. except TO- 70 swimming
or to a musicale, which she does quite
often. No doubt you'll think this girl
an old maid and not liking fun: but
she does like fun which isn't simple
kids play and she even dances; but Ia
only HERSELF.
Cynthia thinks it Is too bad for this
girl not to have any friends Of her
own age. because there will come a
time when she will want them. even II
she does not find them congenial now.
However. II she does not keep too much
like Sense" education" and the gid
diness" Of youth. It won't hurt her any.
