DON'T SEEM
ANXIOUS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

nEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN: ..
~ am writing you to get an
argument setted. Is 1t good
form to ask a young man friend
when he leaves. If, or when you
may expect him again? Or by
asking him this, does 1t not
seem that the girl Is a little
overanxious to him call again!
PEGGY.
No, Peggy. we mustn't let EN-
see that we are this anxious!
That will never do. OF course,
females that we are, we may wish
to say as direct thing as this. but
we'd best not show our hands to
this extent!
Perhaps we would say the
same hospitable or friendly thing
in a way a bit more subtle, less
with an arrow pointing to 1t,
saying, "This way to my enthusE-
asm for you" / think that these
are better: 1T hope that l am to
see you again soon. Bob; or, do
come again coon, Bob. It was so
nice to have you come tonight;
or, do call me up soon, Bob.
It's always nice TO have you
come" Any of these indicate
your hospitality, your wish to see
the young gallant again, and still
does not pin him down to making
q definite statement.
