has the natural bearing Of a
princess. IL seem to have a sort
OF princess complex)
This grand manner, however,
does not keep her from being es-
sentially domestic when the occa-

Youth OF Her Spirit
Most OF all, perhaps, love her
for her youth, not only her physical
youth, but the youth Of her spirit.
She will never grow old. no mat

is a real modern girl-yes, flap

it.
The flapper makes present DAY
life worth living. The flapper IL
the torch bearer of the spirit Of fun
and play in q time when most
people are too serious.
And as for morals, think the
flapper is cleaner minded than her
hasn't mind all cluttered up with
cobwebs. She is not so curious
about the mysteries Of life, because
she knows all about them. And
she's outspoken. Why not? That's
far more healthy attitude than
ignorant wondering and dirty-mind-
ed whispering.

any more. Why should they?
What is there to blush about

such thing as boy and girl paiship.
In those days il young chap

forced him to marry her!
But today there is a true and
free companionship Of the sexes.
The flapper is equipped with full
knowledge, which is her best pro.
lection, and that puts her on equal
footing with the male.
Knows Life's Mysteries
She's a merry girl-the flapper.
She knows life's mysteries and she
doesn't spend her time in secret
morbid CONCENTRATIONS of sex. So
her mind is clear to take in the
joys OF living. Hers Is q care-free

do anything for a thrill, but they
would have been wild in any age
or in any environment.
The wild jazz baby is the ex-
ception, in my opinion, and have
seen many flappers. In fact, a
newspaper a few days ago called
me a ''flapper fancier." It's true.
but not in the sense the newspaper
meant.

sense that / am a person who
fully appreciates the qualities Of

Peaches, Queen Of FIappers
And my own Peaches is the
queen of them all.
And what jolly times we'll have

Peaches is going to learn. Well
have horses and dogs, because
Peaches loves animals. There'l be
long walks through the peaceful
woods, or strenuous mixes up high
hills, or quiet summer days in
yielding hammock.
We will probably have a winter
home in Florida or California,
where we can bask in the bright
sunlight. Then there will be

enjoy. the luxuries of city life.
Peaches fits in perfectly with all
these settings.

And I hope that before very
