Unlikely to
WinReSbeCt
BY MARTHA LEE

The current fashion among
young attached females last week
seemed 70 be TO pine over some
man who didn't want them. Some
Of them had their brief chance and
could not hold the men. Others
have seen some chap on the bus
or street car, or merely walking
down the street. and have decided
he's the dream man they've
thought so much about.
Let's take up the case of the first
group. Two girls wrote in TO say
that they had fallen in love with
two fellows they had been having
dates with.
In both cases the boys say they
love the girls. But it so happens
there is nothing so cheap as talk.
And the fact remains that actions
speak so much louder than words
that even these girls, who would
love TO disullusion themselves into
believing the boys are not handing
thew a line, have begun to wonder
II the boys have been honest with
them.
Some Boys Too Shy
Sometimes boys are too shy to
come right out and tell girls they
are terribly keen on them. But the
girls can tell. No girl needs 10 have
a boy tell her he likes her awfully
if he really does. He shows it
palmer than words.
Some boys go around telling girls
how much they love them. and then
turn around and disappear for a
couple Of weeks or a month. When
they get around to IL, with a free
evening and nothing TO do. they call
the girls up again, hand them tale
about how busy they've been and
get taken back into the fold just
like that.
Both the fellows act just about
the same. one girl began TO doubt
the true love of her sweetheart when
after making all kinds of plans to
spend the vacation with her and her
family at the lake, he ups and goes
on a trip with gang" from the
Office.
Desires TO Meet Man
Perhaps the fact is that neither
Of these fellows was worth holding.
but the fact remains that the men
are not in love with the girls. and
that should be enough for the girls.
A girl who allows a fellow TO treat
her shabbily. a girl who pursues
a fellow who lodges her. either has
no pride. no self respect. or else she
likes to be mistreated. And as long
as she acts like that no fellow ever
will like her very much.
AS for the girls who have CEN
tered their dreams on some fellow
who passed by. they are practically
impossible. one girl writes that she
has fallen desperately (to quote herr
in love with a young man she sees
on the bus every morning. She
does not know who he is, what he
does. what sort of a chap he is or
anything about him. She wants to
know how she can meet him, as she
does not feel life Will be complete
until she does.
Poor Meeting Place
She probably is about 16. have
no sure fire methods Of meeting
strangers on buses. In fact a bus
seems, next to a street car, as poor
a place as I can imagine of meeting
any one.
The man may be married. He
may be engaged. He may be a fine
fellow or ne may be a rotter. He
may have strange ideas about girls
who scrape up acquaintance with
Strange fellows on buses.
II would be better for the girl to
say she would never marry until she
had met and gone with Buddy Rog-
ers or William Haines. Because
they are far enough away that she
would not make a sap out of herself
staring at them on buses in the
morning.
