What Is
His Reputation
I hate to advise girl to take
a chance marrying a man
with a bad reputation. But
doesn't it all depend on what
that reputation entails? If the
fellow has been vicious, a liar,
a sneak, incapable of standing
up under pummeling, I would
say she should not bother with
him. But if he were merely
a daring chap, bit wild. gal
liant with the ladieS-too many
of them at once maybe-and q
bit reckless couldn't he be made
into a good husband? Sandra
asks the question.
Dear Mr.. Antheil: Can a
fellow who has been used to
going around with many girls,
taking none of them serious
fall in love? Jimmy is %. He
is kind and sympathetic and
has been going with three or
four girls a week. He has taken
none of them seriously. I have
found him a real gentleman.
At first I liked him, now I find
myself in love with him. He
has been very nice to me.
st feel he will make a good
husband and that it wouldn't
take him long to change to a
one-girl man. Would it be all
right for me to take a chance,
forget about his past and look
forward to a happy future? Or
is it Just my Imagination be-
cause I love him that think he
could change?
my friends advise me to for
get him as he is not worth the
effort. But feel no fault is too
great to repent. am % and
popular. I can easily find an
other man. But I have never
been so happy, nor looked for
ward with greater pleasure to
our next meeting, as have been
with Jimmy. I think he has
changed a lot already. Will my
love and understanding change
him? "SANDRA.
Your love and your feeling
won't change Jimmy but his own
may if HE falls in love with you.
Maybe your love for him caused
you to omit his real faults. Your
letter doesn't reveal anything so
bad about him, except that your
friends tell you to forget him.
Does Jimmy
LoUe You?
But how about Jimmy him
self? Does he want you as badly
as you want him or are you
chasing him? If you are doing
the latter, better call a halt. The
Jimmies of the world inspire the
females to pursue them. They
are well aware of that and grow
a careless attitude towards the
girls. Maybe if you are a little
aloof he may work hard, and
change his ways to get you.
Look at his faults honestly. II
they are fundamental and in
grained in his character, don't
take him. If they are merely
careless habits he has acquired
because life has been exciting
and interesting to him, then you
can feel reasonably safe in tax
ing him-if HE asks you!

Great Interest
Manifested

There is, and increasingly
there is, an interest in the diff
ference between the so-called
American way of eating and the
Continental or English way of
eating. And what difference
there is, indeed!
The American way is some
times referred to as the "one-
handed method of eating" some
times as "the zig-zag way" The
knife and fork are handled in
this manner: A piece of meat
is cut with the knife held in
the right hand. and the fork,
tines down, held in the left
hand. Then the knife is laid
on the plate and the fork is
transferred to the right hand.
Third motion: The fork, tines
up, in the right hand, is used
to carry the piece of meat to
the mouth.
In the Continental or English
or European manner of eating,
this is the way: The meat is cut
in the same manner, with the
knife in the right hand, and the
fork, tines down, in the left.
There is no shifting of the fork.
The piece of meat is pierced
with the fork, tines down, and
carried to the mouth, with the
fork still in the left hand.

strips from the side and belly
are the alluring bats for the
big fellows, classed as rollers.
Occasionally a herring head,
with it's bloody gills, will bring
4 whopper to hook that stag
gers the angler with its thrilling
power.
BLOODWORMS FINE LURE
Bloodworms are best for fish
In the lower bracket, that is to
say, from one to three pounds.
Worms should, by all means, be
fresh. The most important make
up of a bloodworm is his head
and this should never be pune
tured by the hook point, as 1t
is the attraction that gets 'em.
The secret in bloodworm batting
is to hold the legless creature
by the tail so the blood will rush
to its head. Insert the hook
about an inch and a half from
the tail, and thread the worm
to an inch of its head. This will
leave tail and head free to
wiggle, and a Striper is crazy,
we think, not to smack into such
. tidbit.
We were asked recently what
sort of outfit is best adapted for
rock fishing in the Potomac.
Well, here's the simple outlay:
Rod, reel, line, with O'Shaugh-
messy hooks, ranging from 20 to
90, triple or four-ply gut, with
swivel and Split-lead above hook.
Over on the Eastern Shore, at
the mouth of the Chester River,
and in Eastern Bay, the stripes
are most active, taking to troll
ing white feather lures. The fish
are running from five to eight
pounds. One report from the
office Of E. Lee LeCompte states
that a single party took better
than 80 rock, trolling with white
feathers.
EASTERN SHORE POINTS
Chester River and Eastern
, Bay, if you are not cognizant of
the fact, are across the Chesa-
peake from Annapolis. The
Chester River location is a bit
to the north of Annapolis, while
the Eastern Bay area hangs to
the south.
Up in the Chester River proper,
the fish vary from pan-Size to
roaSters, much after the same
fashion as in the Potomac, but
are taken in an entirely differ
ent manner. The striperS are
lured to hook by cumming with
live grass shrimp.
Rock are also up in the Sus-
quehanna and are being taken
with white Japanese feathers.
The fish run from two to four
pounds.
Are you ready for the big push
over next weekend and Memo
rial Day? Have you made your
decision as to where you'll spend
the full three days fishing? Well.
