Frankly, we aren't SO much con-

with the lack of discrimination
which this kind of public romancing
reveals in Petey and Paula.
Love is, or should be, a highly
personal thing. Words or actions
that are beautiful in private can be
slightly sickening or Just plain
ludicrous in public.
You know how love letters read
in court make the spectators squirm
and smoker. Yet those sentiments
may have sounded marvellous when
first put on paper. In the same way,
that calf-like look in your eyes
thrills the object of your affections
when he or she alone sees it. But to
a hard-boiled, unsentimental BY

case of inherent dopiness.

that's the safety angle. Any one
who has followed a one-arm driver
down boulevard, trying to guess in
which direction he's going to weave
and wander next, knows that such
counting couples are a real traffic
hazard. Ordinarily, two heads are
better than one-but not when they
are glued together behind a steering
wheel.
Another particularly Objectionable
form of necking for the benefit of
the world at large Is sometimes seen
on bathing beaches. Such a setting
naturally creates an atmosphere of
informality, but there's a difference
between being informal and being
out-and-out brassy. Any fellow or
girl who makes any pretense of
knowing what's what, instinctively
senses that difference.
