New Ford Models To

smart sedan with two doors, ar
rived on the scene, announce

there came with it the question
of q name.
For several days the folks
just couldn't decide what TO call
the baby of the family until,
from quite an unexpected source,
there came the happy sugges-
ton:
Lets call it Tudor"
And Tudor it was christened, a
name quite in keeping with the
aristocratic appearance of the
new car.
"How about remaining the
other sedan 2" someone asked,
and then came this reply:
"We might call it the four

Ford-or, Fordor. Simple and

So we have two Ford cars
with brand new names, the Tu-

NY Dear Miss Lee: What would you adj
visef 1 am in love with a girl who will
not lead my kind of life. l think every
girl should keep up with the times, and
dance. smoke and drink. don't you? II
would be proper for her to do those things
as long as she is with me. don't you think
OF course l would not expect her to go out
On these kind OF parties with any other Eel,
low. 1 always join in with her crowd and
never say word. SKULL.
So you expect to teach the girl you
say you love all the tricks Of your kind
of life, and then expect her to use
them only when she is with you.
What an optimist!
You would expect her, too. 1 sup
pose, to put on her old character, the
one which first attracted your devo-
ton. when you got tired Of her in the
new disguise.
You probably fell in what you think
is love with this girl because she was
different from the girls in your crowd
If not. you are merely physically at
tracted and you soon will tire Of her
anyway. Don't you see that If you
changed her and made her like all the
other girls, your love would die
quickly?
1t may be good fun to go on parties
with the girls who are experts in
dancing, drinking and smoking. But
marriage Is supposed to last a long
time, and is made up of many things
besides amusement. 1 am afraid your
love is pretty weak, and l should adj
wise you to keep 1t TO yourself until
it can stand on it's own feet.
