THEIR LETTERS

Dear Nom:
Enclosed please find a copy of
The Evening Telegram, with a pic
ture of me, as big as life, almost,
though not quite as natural. Truth
colnpels me to state that art has
improved upon nature.
The first day of our fashion
show, the news photographers came
and snapped several of us, wearing
our borrowed finery. And the next
day the Telegram used only my
picture. suppose it was because
the coat was very smart, and photo
graphed we'll, certainly it was not
because my name means very much
here socially.
But there was quite little feel
ing evidenced the next day because
NV picture was the only one that
appeared. One girl fairly wept over
it. and another treated me very
coldly. On the whole I was rather
sorry it happened.
It really is loads Of fun to have
something to do, and modelling
seems to be just about my speed. ]
appear in the country club number,
wearing q perfect darling OF an
ensemble in ibis colored crepe de
chine and jersey, and hat OF the
same shade.
When have dazzled sufficiently
in that, I disappear and return
wearing a coat that am going to
try desperately to make my perma-
nent possession. It is one OF these
very soft, wool affairs in a marvel
Gus beige shade, this is cut in al
sorts of intricate ways, but looks
perfectly simple and straight when
I get it on.
In another scene, I wear an eve
ming coat of rose colored velvet
that scoops tightly around my hips
and has one large stole, finished
with a huge tassel that is thrown
over my shoulder and bangles almost
to the floor in the back.
If I had to fight flesh, along with
my other battles, I think 1 woulc
lust give up. Or If I had to live
on spinach and lettuce, I'd just as
soon be one of the lower animals
and be done with it. A life of sac
rifice and abnegation is not for me
However, dieting is the one granc
topic of conversation among us
models. And get along very vel
without any French, or without ar
idea. It's quite probable than wher
Cousin Julia and Miss Evans get me
uplifted I shall lead a lonely anc
solitary life. I'd better have my fur
while I am still a moron.
I'm sending you a picture OF &
fiat crepe coat that think would
be lovely for you. Those flowing
graceful lines would make yor
look like million. 1 believe 1t woulc
be easy to copy. More anon.

dot of gold.
Cheruit has fashioned one in

gold slippers and the sheerest of

be worn.

Dear Martha Lee: I am girl 10, con-
sidered good-iooking, and have never been
in love that know Of; A week ago a
sell hosiery. He seemed so embarrassed
that l tried to help him all I could.
Now, Miss Lee, we got to talking and I
found he was buying a present for a girl
whom he loves very dearly, and hopes to
marry, but she has turned down his pro-
posal. Now, Miss Lee, it has been more
than week since I saw him, and he got
my name and telephone number and said
he would probably call me.
I'm sure he was the incest boy I've ever
met, and l don't know whether I'm in
love with him or not. but I'd certainly
like to see him. He told me his name
and discovered his address through the
city directory in our store. DO you think
it would be too forward if I should call
him up2
Yes, do. Let the matter drop
until the customer calls you as he
promised. It may be that the sit
uation is one of the luckless ones
and therefore not romantic, but
dangerous, and a little foolish.
Some other nice boy will want
some hose one of these fine days.
Try your luck.

Slayer of
Romance
BY MARTHA LEE

''The world is too much with us"
OF late for mad romancing. Life is
too complicated for it, too busy;
and like miracles, I'm inclined to
think, that the day Of miraculous
romance is over.
This shouldn't fall on the sensi-
bilities Of present day youth like q
harbinger of gloom and pessirnism.
Far from it. 1t ought to be a whole
some, even heroic statement of
facts in modern life.
By some miracle it ought--or is
meant to be-a new era of thought
to chance readers who may be
starving souls for something they
never were meant to hunger for,
namely: rope-iadders in the moon
light, counts at the candy counter,
mad flights from Podunk to Holly
wood, irate fathers, weeping
mothers, persistent lovers, flights,
escapes, and cut-out-of- will!
These things may happen not any
oftener than Sir Gallahad was
kicked out of college!
Sanity and careful calculation
should be the keynote of the newer
romance. A boy and girl is lucky
these days If they find someone not
an addict to old-world romantic
ism. And that isn't saying that the
situation is not romantic, there's
always an element of romance in
chance.
Why is 1t that we suffer no after
effects fro mour disiluusions about
Santa Claus, and yet our spirits
fall when our work-a-day existence
forces us to admit that romance is
rare?
A girl working at a hosiery
counter should think the college
boy buying hose for his best girl
has trod down the road to romance
straight to that store counter!
There are so many boys who look
sleek and hatless just like the boy
buying hose, and all think it highly
romantic to write down the name
and telephone number of the shy
clerk and promise to call. The girl
thinks so, too, just what we read
about
Usually the shy hosiery clerks are
out of luck; and there is no rom
arce without that.

Everyday Law Cases
Is Tenant or Landlord Liable
for Repairs?
nv THE COUNSELLOR,
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

William Turner conducted a grocery
store on Main street, in a building he
had leased for three years. His lease
was silent as to needed repairs to the
building arising during his tenancy.
A storm of wind and rain caused
one of the front bay windows in the
leased building to be broken, and the
incident caused dispute between the
landlord and the tenant. The latter
claimed that the landlord should bear
the expense of $3.50. the cost of re-
placing the window. The landlord con-
tended that he was not legally obli-
gated to do so.
When the time came to pay the
months rent the tenant deducted
$3.50. The landlord refused to permit
the reduction and sued for the with
held portion.
The tenant came out the loser in
the case, in accordance with the fol-
lowing rule:
The obligation of landlord In any
case to repair and rebuild rented prem
ises rests solely on express contract.
and without an express contract to
that effect the landlord Is neither
bound to repair leased premises HIM
self, nor to pay for repairs made by
the tenant"

Another thing: You are still con-
siderably overweight. You should re-
duce, being sure that you get the foun-

unbalanced diet among animals is
known to produce sterility. and no doubt

Telling the Truth.

"Should not little girl of eight or
nine have proper appreciation of the
truth? ! have a couple of children in
my class who will say they didn't talk
when / have been sitting waiting for
them to finish conversation. Yester-
day one slapped the other and when I
called her to account for 1t she looked
me straight in the eye and SAID she
hadn't slapped her. Isn't this sub
normal?"
No, 1t is quite normal IL by normal
we mean that 1t is usual In children of
this age. Truth telling is habit to be
acquired. Before you acquire a habit
you must have the desire to do so. The
desire that prompts lis TO tell the truth
comes later in life than 8 years. Some
of us are hoary- before we have
such a desire. The desire of childhood
Is to protect itself. A lie is a gesture Of
Self-defenSe.
True, lie is also the gesture OF a
weak soul. but a soul is long, slow
growth. seasoning of the spirit ac-
complished through trial and suffering
and triumph over desires and fears and
pain. That is not possible at the age
of 9 or l0--or II.
A child lies because he is afraid. But
I never punish the child I never have
lifted my hand to him. I'm as gentle
as ! know how to be-" That Is true.
But life is not gentle and you are. not
all OF life to this child Even you with
all your gentleness and understanding
call out fear.
The child makes a mistake Imme-
diately he feels inferior to you who cor
rect that mistake. He Is very uncom-
Portable. very unhappy when he feels
inferior and IL he can avoid that feeling
he will do so, He finds that telling lie
helps him over hard place. so ne does
so. Should we be shocked or angry or
frightened because a child so miSundcr-
stands life? Misinterprets life to which
he is stranger? What good will 1t

Your Baby and Mine

pleasure i'll reading your advice to
mothers. My baby is now five months

to 6. He likes 10 play with the other
children when they are home from
school, laughs and crows and likes 10
play with rattle or a rubber doll or

article was printed on second Summer

questions your letter asked. ! am sure
you must have seen 1t, as your letter
was written previous TO that. BY now
