NTRITE your troubles to Jane
w Jordan who will answer your
letters in this column daily. Letters
are very heavy just now, but every
one will get an answer soon.
Here is another letter from Bad
Boy Trying to-Be-G Good! To new
readers: Bad Boy complains that
he can't find good girl. All the
girls he knows drink, tell question:
able stories, and go on wild parties.
His letter brought an avalanche of
replies from girls who said that they
could not find good boy! Unless
they went in for wild parties, they
were left at home gathering cob
webs on the shelf. If girls were bad,
men made them so!
In turn, their letters stirred up
the boys, who said they really
wanted good girls, but couldn't find
them. Bad Boy wrote again saying
that he went with a girl once for
three and a half years without so
much as putting his arm around
her. The girls rose up in wrath and
asked why he didn't marry her.
Here is his answer:

DEAR BAD BOY-A good boy is
IL one who is honest, straight

more than he gives. A good boy is
a gentleman who never inflicts un-

now, Bad Boy, here are some
