Nom. Darling:

4N4O4l1s OclA AAA4E3
One thing in life is certain. We've
got to live while we're young. And
know I'm not going to be young
all my life, no matter how much en-
couragement I get from the beauty
specialists and others who pretend
to know the real secrets of eternal
youth. They might have kidded
Ponce De Leon, but they can't kid
yours truly.
So, then, why not get all you can
out of life while there is yet life to
live? Nobody wants to live simply
any more. 1t might have been a
wonderful thrill in your day for the
folks to sit around the stuffy par
lor to gossip about your neighbor's
daughter, or to work like the dickens
in the kitchen baking pies and
making cakes that would give Dad
indigestion, but we girls of today
don't look at those things like you
did.
What do we care what the neigh
boris daughter is doing, SO long as
she's a good kid; and take it from
me, Nom, we girls are just as good
as the old-fashioned kind, only we're
not hypocrites And that word is
meant to cover a lot of territory.
And as for Alan'S tolerance, he
knows my code.
I'm a clean fighter, Nom. If it
should happen that I meet man
cared for more than I do for Alan,
I'd tell Alan first. I don't believe
anything like this will happen, how
ever though you never know.
Today marriage is a highly specu-
lative game, much more than any
game you might find in the stock
market. At least, there's some hon
esty about us youngsters. We don't
promise to love forever, because we
ourselves realize we don't know
whether we can live up to such
promises. But if it isn't proper to
love more than once, why did nature
make us that way? Capable of it,
mean.
suppose your answer will be
that if minded my own business
and didn't see any men, I wouldn't
be in danger of falling for a new one.
1t might be the iceman in that
case.
Well, suppose you'll be glad to
hear that Florence is leaving for
horne next week. I havnt said
mucil about her, because she was
going through crisis. It's one of
those things that not even a for
tune teller could explain. I'll tell
you all about it next time.
Sweet love,
MARYE.

remember how he scolded?
Sure you do, and many
many fathers are doing the
same thing today when their
sons take the family automobile.
I disagree with the judge who
said every boy in the family should
have a car. But don't agree with
the man who says the son should
have no car at all.
And while we think about it, this
whole question concerns the girls Of
the family, too.
The point I want to bring out Is
that the automobile is SO much
part of the family life in America
that it should not be considered as
a sperarate question at all.
Not any more than the Saturday
night bath should be question Of
paramount Importance today. Be-
cause really and truly once upon
time it was considered bad form to
battle more than once week. And
that rite had to be consumated on
the final day of the week-or else!
The automobile today is part and
parcel of our every day existence,
lust like a street car or bus. Young
sters know how to handle a car;
many times better than their elders.
And every time they get their hands
on the steering wheel they don't
sneed recklesSly with g flask in
hands and a flapper in arms.
One Thing After Another
The buggy problem gave way to
the bicycle menace. And now the
automobile is disappearing before
the airplane anxiety.
Twenty years from now you'll |
hear, Mother, I don't believe
Johnny should have the plane more
than one or twice a week. Every |
time he gets it out of the hangar |
he races to Chicago and st. Louis.
And sometimes I suspect he is |
taking girls with him"
And the final step will be the |
banning of airplanes from the |
State universities. "It is believed |
by the university officials that the
presence of airplanes on the campus |
is not conducive to higher educa-
ton. Written permission from par
ents or guardian and the dean of
men or women must be obtained |
before student can fly an airplane
to and from classes" That para
graph in university catalogs will be |
the last straw. But it will come, I'm
sure.
