Optimistic View

Dear Madam: 1 would like to express the
opinion Of a 19-year-old boy on the ques-
ton of why girls go as far as they can
and get by with it"
It SENS as though all the people Of to,
day are looking for is excitement and GOOD
times. Some boys and girls evidently have
an idea that unless they go on mule ana
Jazz parties, they can't have a good time.

good a time in a decent crowd as you can III

sooner the young people realize TINS, the
better off everybody will be.
One girl said that II a girl didn't let a
man kiss her. pet her, etc she would pc

girl who would rather sit and wait for the
light man than go out and sell her honor
and womanhood for a good time. There are
plenty of decent young men left in the World

girls who do not expect the boys to do the
same. -,

the boys like that kind of a girl. Just as o

well. why blame the boys entlrelyf
I blame both boys and girls for the pres
emit condition of things. But don't think
the young people are az bad a. the writer
who signs himself Man Of the World
would have us think. He said he was 80
years of age and from his letter he evidently

for the evenings entertainment by her pres

Girls, Try this When combing and
dressing your hair, just moisten your
hair brush with a little "Danderine"
and brush it through your hair. The
effect is startling! You a do your
hair up Immediately and it will ap-
pear twice as thick and heavy-a
mass OF gleamy hair. sparkling with
life and possessing that incompatible
s~oftness, freshness and luxuriance.
While identifying the hair "Dander-
iner is also toning and stimulating
each single hair to grow thick, long
and strong. Hair stops falling u
and dandruf disappears. Get a bottle
of delightful refreshing "Danderine"
at ally drug or toilet counter and just
see how healthy and youthful your
hair ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

Men Have Changed

To the Ex-College Man: The girl that
goes as far as she can and get by with it,
must be the only kind of girl you look for.
I know that II you looked for the other
kind you surely could find plenty of them
left.
Ny sisters and girl friends and I are the
good, decent sort of girls. We all like our
us ia very popular with men. We have
dates only once in a while. Just because we
will not go AZ far as we can and get away
with It..
SO far as I can see. the majority of men
has changed. Men care only for fast girls,
They used to look for good girls to keep
company with and especially to marry. But
now the fast girls get married and the good
girls remain old maids.
A COULD-BE FLAPPER.
