Anyway, we are foolish to sup pose that the world is going to enter into conspiracy of si. lence to guard our good names. We have to do that for our selves, and so if you don't want boys to kiss and tell don't kiss.
 As for writing q man q love letter, write only such words and use only such terms of endear- ment as you would be willing for his friends, his mother and sis. Mers, his IandIady and the cham. bermaids in hotels to read. Not every man shows his love letters as Exhibit A to proge what fascinat0r be is, but all men are careless. They leave their letters in bureau drawers, on writing tables, in the pockets of coats, for any prying eye to peruse, and this is a fact that girls will do well to remember when they are tempted to slosh over sixteen pages with sentimental gush un- der the deIusion that it will be sacred to some man and that no- body but he will ever know of their indiscretion.

Also, he would carefully file away the love letters that girls wrote him in his safety de- posit box.
 But, alas, perfect Sir Galahnds are rare among the jellybeaia youth of the day, and the aver. age young man loves to pose as devil among the women and tell how he gets them going. There fore, he not only kisses and tells. but he broadcasts the glad news to all who win listen.

Nor do I think the girl has any right to resent this or consider It dishonorable in the boy. Why should she expect the man to be more careful of her reputation than she is of it her self? Why should she expect a man to cover up her indiscretionsf l never have any patience with people who rage so against gossip. 1t is only those who dc something wrong who object to being talked about.

Answer: My poor, deluded child, there are about seven mil lion other young girls in your frame of mind. They also want to go into the movies.

say of making living.
 So, little girl, if I were you I would cut out these more or less romantic occupations and choose something that was practical and for which there was large ev- eryday demand. What about taking good course at conner cial school and getting to be a cracker-jack stenographerf How about studying domestic science. ,ef dressmaking, or millinery? People will always have to eat and wear clothes, and will be ready to pay out good money to those who feed them well or make them snappy hats and dresses. Besides, when you get married it will be mighty comfortable thing to know how to keep house and make yourself clothes that your worst enemy thinks came from Paris. DOROTHY DIX.
