Dear Jane Jordan-May bring to at

girl who assumes a cigaret ad pose every
time she sits down; who affects the
Carlo walk; the Clara Bow cycling, and
who tries to talk like millionaire's
daughter?
She is fairly good looking, but has

hers. She has been told of her affected

Dear Puzzled Pete-Your girl isn't
a type. She merely has exaggerated
an instinct which all women share.
The instinct to dramatic herself.
Women are so intensely personal
that they can not read a novel
without imagining themselves to be
the heroine. When they see a NOV
ing picture, they inevitably identify
themselves with the star.
1t has been remarked that where
as man is all ambition, woman
is all vanity. She loves to at
tract attention to herself, and il
she is not sure that her own at
fractions are sufficient to win he1
place in the sun, she is prone to
borrow from somebody else. Hence
the cigaret ad pose, the Carlo walk
and the Clara Bow cycling.
The talk that hints of the mil
lionaire's daughter is just another

somebody, hoping 's 0e0
in this manner she also may con-
vince herself.
When a woman feels i'll at ease, it
is almost impossible for her to act
like herself. In company with other
women she believes to be more at
tractive than herself, she goes
through agonies of comparison
which cause her to take on a whole
new group of mannerisms, unless
she is frozen completely by feeling
Of inferiority.
When your girl strikes an unfa-
miliar pose, you may be sure that
something has happened to make
her feel self conscious. For SOME
reason she is obliged to strike a
pretense of superiority. Many in
telligent women assume a party

Diplomacy BUSINESS.
Once you under
stand the girl, you can cure her by
using little diplomacy. Build up
her ego by telling her how attrac-
tive she is when she is being her
self. Convince her that she does
not have to borrow from somebody
else to be charming. Make her be-
lieve that it is smart to be indi-
vidual.
Teach her to rely on her inward
thoughts, rather than her outward
gestures. She will listen to you be-
cause you are her lover, provided
you present the subject in a way
that will not hurt her pride.
Whatever you do, don't Starve her
for admiration or force her to re-
sort to tricks to gain admiration.
Below We have another letter
from Monsieur Twenty Two, writ

Dear Jane Jordsn-Just why Lonesome
Virginia is disguised with life I am IN
those who feel too much in a world so
cold. TO think Of others is to forget
ones self.
In my lonely hours I often seek refuge
in the crowded streets and siums hnd-

miserable and wretched. the sick. the
crippled and the blind. I feel like a
coward to face these pitiable people.
