Is Not
 ! Best Way To Retain Him
By BETTY VINCENT ERALDINE introduced her beau

N ERALDINE introduced her beat
 T to Sylvia and now the young maI
 is calling on Sylvia.
 .s Geraldine is getting angrier and an srief every Wednesday evening.
 Ut isn't as if I cared for other mer and could just trump up new friend ship with some other chap" she com
 plains, but I cared a lot for Jack We had been going about for almost { year and I had introduced him to near iy all my girl friends. He was al ways polite to them, even gallant, often taking them home when they were call ing upon me and not infrequently in- eluding them in theater party or a little dinner. But he was never flirta- tieus and he never failed to show his interference for me. Then I introduced him to Sylvia and he transferred his af- lection as quickly as chameleon changes from red to blue when you put him on different background. It's Just one of those little triangles which ean't be explained
 : Geraldine wants to know what she should do. Should she:
 : Send back his college pin?
 Return the sentimental letters he wrote her?
 # Send back the book of poems, leather writing case, ivory handled paper cut ter and all the small trinkets he gave her?
 Or
 Should she:
 Write Sylvia a letter telling her just what she thinks of her?
 r. Big question marks are piercing Ger aldines brow and every day she has a new idea.
 : Sometimes I think I'll just go about with other chaps whether I like them or not just to show Sylvia and Jack that 1 don't care," she says. And yet. when you do care why put on that Why Should Cry Over You atti- Jude? If you care for a man you do and that's all there is to it. I don't want to send back his college pin, his letters or the few trinkets he gave me because I still feel that they are q bond between us. I don't want to write Sylvia and give her piece of my mind because 1 know 1 shnll be sorry the moment l have mailed the letter. It would be catty. And I don't want to win Jack back by going around with other chaps and trying to get him jealous. I want him to come back because he feels I am the only girl in the world for him and because he is tired of Sylvia"
 < And if Geraldine keeps to these ideals she will win Jack back. Sooner or later the man who loves q girl but has stopped to admire another girl Because she vamped him or flattered him into thinking he admired her, will come back if the girl who really holds his heart knows how to play the game. Send back his college pin, his letters or his gifts and he is cut-yes, dead cut. He forgets that he has given you cause to be angry and only remembers that you have hurt his pride--flung his gifts back in his face! Write to the ether girl and 'give her piece of TOUT mind' and she will show him the letter and they will laugh over it to- gether. Go about with other men whom you really dislike and he will watch you from the corner of his eye think ing, Well, she never really cared for me. Anything in brooches seems to suit her p
 : But
 Keep his pin. his letters, his gifts together with your temper, and the chances are (nine out of ten) that he'll tire of the other girl and come back to you.
