You have seen her, sgd. DO you

over Leslie for pages, but l must tell
you about my dinner with Paula.
Do Not Understand
Poor little girl! l do not think, sgd,
that we men really understand just
what we do when we go a long time
with a girl-give her lot of attention
simply because we are enjoying her
company-then, finding another girl
that fascinates us for the moment, we
simply HE ourselves to pastures new
Paula told me that when / first stopped
going to see her she almost went mad
with loneliness.
She said. do you not know, mon

her heart adjust?"

Difference in Age

Dear Miss Lee: I have been correspond
ing with a girl for about six months I
have not heard from her for more than six
weeks. She is nice, but a little young to go
with me. She is II and 1 am 2S. 1 told
her not to give up her boy friends for me,
but she insisted she cared for none but me.
What do you think be the matter? If

too-but not as hard as you seem to
think.
Write to the girl again; your letter
might not have reached her. 1t is pos
sIble that she saw how much you
cared for her, realized she did not
really love you, and chose this way to
let you know 1t.
AS you are so much older than the
girl, you should not encourage her.

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT, FTANCE OF LES

CARTON, HIS BACHELOR
FRIEND
DEAR sgd:

DEAR sgd:
Although I did not get those d
letters I am very glad 1 came over
and had this little talk with Paula.
[ have very different feeling about
here now than I did after getting
her letter the other day. You see, l
jumped to the conclusion that she had
1t in for me. I know now that you
are right. She is a pretty decent girl
after all. OF course she let me under
stand that she cared for me and would
always care, but she did it very
delicately and, to tell you the truth
sgd, 1 felt rather like the cad you
intimated I was in your letter.
The moment I arrived, I called up
Paula
She recognized my voice at once
and she gave a little exclamation of
delight. "Oh, it IS mon cher Jacques.
That you were basking in the caresses
of your sweetheart have been
thinking, and a queer little sinking
feeling it gave me.
why are you here? Is your won
derful love dream over2"
mo, Palma" answered but
when sgd wrote me Of dining and
motoring with you, the sudden impulse
came over me Of seeing you Just once
more. 1 guess I became a bit home
sick for the sight Of you"
Came TO See Her
Jacques" she spoke most solemn
ly. "do you really mean to tell me
that you came back purposely to see
me?"
THAT is exactly what I did" con-
fessed.
You. dear.'
Well. VIII you dine with me this
evening? 7 can only stay twentyfour
hours, you know
Happier than I ever conceived /
could be again will I be to sit opposite
you at a softly light table" she
answered in that queer little French
idiom that she gratis on her Eng
lish words.
To pass the time took the road
ster and started out for d long ride.
Strange. isn't It, sgd. the perversity
Of the mind OF man. When I got
into that roadster my thoughts were
all Of Paula, but had hardly
thrown the engine IN gear when
Leslie took possession Of my brain
she always has possession OF my heart
