Dear Jane Jordan-Is It really true
that men have more respect for the
is a girl who has had love affair with
young college man. She was not vir-
tuous. Now that he is through school,
they are going to be married 1t made
no difference to him that she had a
previous love affair and was in fact,
intimate with him.
It is every girls ultimate aim to get
married. Sometimes she meets a man
who isn't in position to marry. What
shall she do7 This is a very vital ques-
ton. How shall We face it?
II is, needless to say morals have
changed. Our mothers are helpless They

According TO our parents teaching.
II we are good girls we will be appre-
ciated. Bunk! All around us .he not
so-good girls are having good time
while the nice" girls sit on the porch
and PLAY bridge. And yet I can't be
any other way.
Dear Nice Girl-What you say is
perfectly true. Some young girls
break all the conventions in the
category and get away with it..
Others try to emulate them and get
their fingers badly burned.
There always have been girls who
were intimate with their fiances be-
fore marriage, and there is no evil
dence that they we're punished for
their misdemeanor, or suffered the
loss Of their husbands respect.
Others try the same thing and a
great tragedy ensues.
You ask me why some girls can
have their cake and eat it, too. I
do not know Some love affairs sue
coed without benefit of clergy. and
some go down to defeat. l do not
know the answer to this battling
problem any more than you do, ex-
cept that it seems to depend on the
nature of the peo-
Two Types pie involved.
IF Woron Two types of
women break So
Break Rule cietys rules-the
very weak or the
very strons. Some women are too
wishy washy to adhere to a standard
Of conduct which interferes with
their immediate desires. Others
are too independent to accept the
code of the average.
Two classes of people are i'm
moral today. One is composed of
the sly and unprincipled, The other
is made up of intellectual rebels.
Each of these groups is relatively
small and the vast gulf that Sepa-
rates them is filled with the average
citizen.
This great middle group consd-
tutes public opinion. They are the
ones who make our laws and de-
mand that we conform. They are
the ones who give us our Jobs and
ostracize us if they catch us break
ing their code.
The vast majority of husband ma
terial is contained
in the middle ReaI Crime

They are the men
who have more respect for the vir-

pleasure, they court the girl with
no standards and drop her like a

choose q wife. They live by the
eleventh commandment, Thou
shalt not be found out"
Women are VIGOROUSLY short on
discernment. They see one young
girl maintain a lisison with a young
college man whose moral ideas are
