BY Beatrice Fairfax

Noted Authority on Problems of
Love and Marriage.
THERE are certain men who
4 are attentive to girls in
furtive way. Judging by their
actions and manner, their. past
and even their identity Is q mys.
terry which it would be a breach
of etiquette if not violation Of
the code for any girl to attempt
to penetrate.
Many of these men are met in
dance halls. ASK no questions,
is seemingly their motto. Occa-
sionally they are met with also in
other social strata-footloosc indi-
viduals who are sometimes asked
when an extra man is needed at
dance or bridge party. but about
whom little that is definitely,
known.
Unfortunately, Lorraine is fas-
cinated by man of this type.
