bites out what she thinks is a
particularly good replica of some
animal, she calls the attention
of her sisters, and jumps it
around her cup. This goes on

and the fun is stopped.
Protested About
Hole in Sock
I think I have said before that
the CUNTS are becoming con-
scious of their clothes, in regard
to fit and becomingnesS. This
week it appeared in a new form.
Marie wore a hole in the heel Of
her stocking. One of her sisters
called her attention to it, and
the five children went to the
nurse protesting that it wasn't
right for Marie to go about with
a hole in her stocking, when
there were stockings without
holes she could be wearing.

Mrs. Waters was born in
Minnesota. Her people sailed

Waters has sailed all over. She
likes travelling, although almost
anybody who travels as a cruise
director will tell you that you
have to be a pSychiatriSt, a
nurse, and a graduate of
school of foreign service, where
young diplomats learn to be
older diplomats, to cruise-direct.
Wanted to Go
To France
She began her travels during
the World War. She came to
Washington and went in train
ing to be a nurse. Her object
was not so much nursing, as a
profession, as to get to France,
where nursing was needed.
Then the authorities decreed
that nurses in training couldn't
go to France. Nurses were
needed at home. So she went
into Government service for
awhile, and got to France that
way. Nobody cared whether
Government workers went away
or not. There were always new
Government workers to be hired.
She did good work in France.
Major Joseph Byron, of the
Tank Corps, cited her as one
of the best nurses of the World
War. And after it was over,
She stayed abroad, working for
the relief of Europe's sick and
starved.
Then she came home, and
then she got married.

He Can Sense
Her Trickery

The danger, of course, is not
from any violence; it's the
danger, rather, of losing a man
and his love. A man who is
deeply interested in a girl, even
if he hasn't actually admitted
to himself that he has fallen in
love, has Sharpened senses. Be-
cause he cares for her, he can
feel when she is trucking him
and he suffers accordingly.
It is true that a man may be
so utterly besotted that he will
keep on caring for a girl how
ever shabbily she may treat
him. In such cases, his love is
a kind Of sickness. He is no
longer responsible for what he
does.
Ordinarily a man takes it for
granted that the girl he is in.
terested in is honest with him.
He accepts what she does e.. d be-
lieves what she says and has
the nice, sweet, comfy feeling
of trusting her.
So, if he discovers that she
is not being sincere, that she
is embarrassing him, even if
in unimportant ways, something
happens.

Keep Him
Guessing
Don't let him be too sure of
you," whispered the expert man
hunters. Keep him Squirming
on the hook. Smile at him, then
appear to forget that he exists.
Devote yourself to him so charm
ingly that he can't help believ-
ing you're iE love with him, then
slip off to dance with another
man
There's a wee kernel of prac-
tical sense, I'll admit, in these
ancient maxims, cruel as they
may sound. Coquetry has its
place in the age-old game of
love. A girl whose hope is to
be adored should not present
herself in the role Of a doormat.
A few graceful feintS or, per-
haps, even an innocent bit of
playacting, may increase her ap-
parent desirability and reduce
the enraptured lover to the neceS-
sary state of pulp.

DeceitfuIness
Is Cheap

In conceding this much, am
far from counselling actual de.
ceit. On the contrary, I am en-
phatically warning girls against
it. You know the kind Of de-
ceit I mean: telling the man
who is in love with you or al
most in love with you that you
have to go to see a sick aunt
in a hospital and then Sneaking
out for the evening with an
other man. You tell yourself
that you don't mind if your
falsehood is discovered. You
persuade yourself, in fact, that
you're being rather clever.
Dear children, these trick
cries aren't clever. Not only
does a girl make herself a less
lovable person by training her
self to be a liar but she runs a
tremendous risk if the man she
tries to humbug is the very man
she wishes to attach to herself
permanently. Airily playing
with a stick of dynamite is
safety itself compared with
wounding a mans pride and
arouSing his jealousy.
