Give Her Chance To Make New
 Friends s
By BETTY yINCENT


 e HORTLY after I wrote an article On Giving Him a Chance. many
 girls asked me if I would not turn the tables and write upon Giving Her Chance" In the first article I said that had seen number of girls going to the movies, to soda fountains and taking summer strolls in twos and threes mad advised them to give him" chance going about occasionally with some young man who asked them out for an evening, even though perhaps thed didn't quite think he lived up to their girlhood ideals of the hand . some movie sheik.
 In answer to this number of girls say they are not particular as to the young men being a collar ad, boy or that they do not expect to be driven ebout in Rolls Royce or even a flivyer. In fact (ma1y of them blush through their frank statement) the truth of the matter is HE doen't give them chance. Few young men are asking girls to go to the movies with them, to have soda at the corner drug stroe or to even view the moon from around the nroner. In other words, the girls say it's case of sitting in the corner" or else doiIing up and going out with a girl friend. Miss Emma s. expresses the. senti- ment of most of the girls when she writes:
 T, too, am one of the girls who have girl friends and who am oftener seen in the company of girl than of the opposite sex. My confession is painful but true-it is not because of my own choice. kNor is it because 1 or my girl friends seek friends who have motor cars or put aside those who have trifling imperfections which we might dislike. We give them a chance all right, not too much, but enough to encourage them and still 1t doesn't work. We aren't any of us bad lockers, and dressers or poor sportsmen; neither poor nor rich, pos sessing educative qualities and still nothing doing! Write something about giving her a chance for we girls will appreciate it."
 Now, the whole thing seems to sum up to Giving Each Other Chance 1 Evidently the young people still have m inclination to meet and the only thing l can say is, it is summer, the time to make friends and to plan for pleasant evenings together in the fall and winter.
 It seems to me times changed with the business girls entrance into the world. The girl will have to remem- Der that she earns as much and, in many cases, more than the boy who IS just starting. She must not expect him 10 take her out and send flowers and candy the way men did in her mothers day and even in her "big sisters" time.
 The girl who wants company and beaux today will have to invite young men she knows to her home. She may give Nah Jongg party, a card party, musical or just a little informal so- clal where simple games are played. Even in small apartments there is q living room which 1 am certain mem- bers of the family would gladly give the daughters in the family once q week or perhaps twice month The girls need not expect to have any "old- fasioned beaux" after the first invita- tion, but sfter the same crowd have met for two. or three times friendship will be established which may last for several pleasant seasons or may in time lead to wedding bells.
 Refreshments need not be more than 2 plate of fudge and lemonade. After all, you will find it is. the sOciability which you get out of the evening which will make it all success. In time you will find these chaps are not pikers-they will reciprocate with tickets for the movies and theatres, and you may even get them back to that stage of bouquet in one hand and box of bon bons in the other.
 Break up these little tete-a-tete groups of two chaps and two girls and give each other a chance to make friends. f
