MISS TWENTY-THREE DEFENDS GIRLS AS THEY ARE TODAY

Itoen May Want Sensible Young Women, but They Choose the Moderns, ‘Disgusted’ Is Told — And Ail , of Us Don’t Have Fur Coats, She Says. By Martha Lee •Dear Martha Lee: •• I have just read ‘Disgusted's' letter to you and would like to say a few words from a 23-year-old girl's standpoint.

“He says that all girls want is a fur coat and net silk stockings. He is a badly mistaken —not all girls want fur coats and don’t have them, and if the girls wore anything other than silk hose, he probably would have something to say too. All girls are not golddiggers. But the fellows think we are. Some of the fellows make us girls tired, too. I know jpst lots of girls who would like to have a real nice fellow to go out with and who would show them a good time without wanting to ‘neck’ all the time. These girls come from nice homes and in my idea are ‘real girls-’ They can cook, sew, and would just love to have homes of their own and everything that goes with it, but so far they haven’t succeeded in meeting some fellow who thinks that same way. “ ‘Disgusted’ musn’t get the idea into his head that all girls are alike. It is true, a lot of girls go with fellows just for what they can get. But MOT ALL OF THEM. And when he meets some girl that isn’t a golddigger he probably will change his mind too. “TWENTY-THREE.” There, young men, what do you think of Miss “Twenty-Three’s” views? Many letters come to* this column from girls who feel as does this young woman. A frequent complaint from them is that men in theory want "sensible” girls who don't dress to extreme, and who act like “perfect ladies,” but the girls insist that if they dressed and acted as the men claim they want them to, the men would pass them by for girls of more “modern” type. What about this, men? Gloomy Without Him Drar Martha Lee: I am brokeu-hearted. There in one young man that hold* all in tb world for me. When T am with him I am happy. When he i* gone, everything veins gloomy. 1 love him more each day. There is a girl, not at all good-looking and who has a high temper, but he seem? to prefer her. Now, I am considered goou-looking by all my friends. Why has he chosen her? I feci a* if 1 can't stand this and go on with life, J love him so. Shall 1 give her orders to leave my dearest alone, or what shall I do? SAD M. R. As you say he prefers her, what good would it do for you to approach the girl? It’s very hard to care for one who does not return the feeling, but why people love whom they do. is one of the mysteries that nobody has solved. If you allowed either of them to know your feelings, it might subject you to ridicule and about all you can do is to try to keep your mind busy with other things. Does Not Admire Men Dear Martha Lee: I am 17 years old—lust a common, everyday girl. but. Miss Lee. I am disgusted with the male sex. and I think I will never, never marry. I’ve gone with fellows, and I And them all the same, and it has made me feel that love is not what It’s cracked up to be. Also, why can't fellows talk without having a line? It. gets so stale, but I guess it s their nature to be deceiving. I ready want to know what you think about this, and it s not that I am lust a man hater ima n. Perhaps when you get a little older you’ll not feel so pessimistic, because contact with many people will teach you that men and women are not so greatly unlike. There are rank deceivers and fine, clean folks of both sexes and they are certainly not “all the same.” I don't, believe it’s

to Avoid Severe Colds

MEN of science say they do not know what causes colds. But one thing they do know: “To avoid a BIG cold stop a little one. Here’s the approved treatment (1) Rest in bed, if possible, thus giving the body a chance to regain its vitality. (2) Take a laxative —this cleanses the body of impurities which reduce the natural resistance. (3) Adopt a simple diet —an easily digested diet rests the digestive organs.

FOR CHEST COLDS tsddsn cheat with hot wet tow*fa Then rub V/oti well In end cover with werm Sennet

“men's natures to be deceiving” any more than it’s women’s. You’ll probably change your mind about love, too. “Just a Wife” worries because her husband will not discuss finance with her- “He always changes the subject when 1. mention money,” she says, and feels that she could make her husband's salary count much more, if he would consult her. A good understanding about monrfy matters between husband and wife is very important as affecting their happiness. It is unfortunate when either of a couple does not see this. Ail you can do is to Insist upon explaining this to your’husband. If he will not listen, he is the loser of course. “L. D.,” who is 16, says her father and mother do not allow her to have boy company, but she slips out with a fellow who "seems crazy” about her. She likos him very much and hates to discourage his attentions, but is somewhat uneasy. Don’t see him under these conditions, L. D. It is very unwise and your intuition is telling you the truth.

FAITH, saying she could uot go on vith the wedding. Cherry’s elopement with CHRIS WILEY becomes known. Cherry has been engaged several time*. Once she tried to run away with ALBERT ETTELSON. a married traveling salesmaii, ami was rescued by her slater and BOfi HATHAWAY. Faith's fiance and nephew of Cluny. i Cherry admits that Cluny attempted to force the marriage but pro tee ts her i innocence. Faith suspects Chris WUey thinking he knew that Clun.v had willed much money to Cherry. Charles Reilly Neff, who drew up the will, testifies that Cluny made Cherry his chief beneficiary whether or not siie married him. The coroner’s jury releasee Cherry, i but immediately she and her husband ! are arrested by DEVLIN deputy district I attorney Faith is furious when Bob tells her ATTORNEY STEPHEN CHURCHILL, whom I he employed, thinks circumstances are against Cherry and suggests a plea of self-defense as the best chance of her freedom Peculiar footprints and a bit of tom strap suggest that the murderer might be a cripple, but this evidence ia not presented. Cherry is indicted for first degree murder Bob plays burglar in Ralph Clun.v’s office and Aids the threatening letter written him, v liich Cherry had described. For the first time since Cherry’s arrest Faith was not besieged by reporters when she arrived on Friday afternoon for a visit with her sister in the women’s ward “parlor” of the jail. Now that Cherry had been indicted, arraigned and her case set for trial for a month hence, she was not considered “hot copy” any longer; newspapers would give her and her family a measure of peace and privacy until the case should come up for trial. Then, as Faith had been warned by Bob Hathaway, I the. city would be a mecca for feature reporters from all over the country. Mrs. YVebb, the matron of the ' women’s ward of the county jail, received Faith as if she had been an old friend. “Hello, dearie. You’re looking right peaked. What a terrible thing for you that your mother had to go and’die on you like that! To think she’ll never know whether her baby girl was innocent or not!” And Mrs. Webb shook her gray-haired head with tongue-clicking sympathy. “Mother would not have believed Cherry guilty if every jury in the | land had convicted her.” Faith anj swered quietly. “May I see Cherry | now. Mrs. Webb?” “Sure you can, dearie. She’s sure the little lady, and the way she’s bej having herself is setting a wonderj ful example to the other girls—poor ! dears. You set right here and make yourself at home,” she soothed. Faith, with unconscious irony- “I’ll go fetch her.” When Faith again was holding | lier adored little sister In her arms, | Mrs. Webb wiped an easy tear from j lier plump cheek and considerately j withdrew, j ’’Bring her a present next time ! you come, darling,” Cherry whig* j pered, as the two girls seated themselves. “She adores home-made fudge and taffy. She really Is an old darling, oven if she does talk my arm off, telling ho hair-raising stories of other murderesses that she counts ! among her best friends —as she j says.” There was a bitter twist to ! the childish, unrouged mouth. “Hush, darling,” Faith begged, * passing a loving hand over the short,

At the same time it stimulates the skin like a poultice. Mothers cherish Vicks as a treatment for children’s colds because, being externally applied, it cannot upset delicate digestions. FOR CHILDREN’S COLDS rub Vicks on the throat and chest at bedtime and with warm flannel.

ORIGINAL AS ADAM By Mrs. Walter Ferguson My goodness! I knew that we women were sometimes naughty but I had no idea we were so bad. Listen to this from the pen of Mr. Fulton Ousler, novelist and familiar figure on Broadway. "Women have wrecked the home, deserted the church, ruined politics. Woman's suffrage has set us back 500 years,” says this youthful sage. He accuses us of dragging the men out at night. He says we are responsible for the hip flask, the naked revues and prize fights and have brought blackmail into politics. This picture that Mr. Ousler draws of the American male being ruined by his women is one of the saddest since that famous feast of reason between the Walrus and the Carpenter. Os course, we knew that we had voted a few times, but had never before realized just what havoc this had made in politics. That spotless and pure product of man's ability is now a total wreck.. We have flung into the mud that high and noble thing which the men have so long loved and honored. Perhaps poor Mr. Vare of Pennsylvania should not be blamed after all. There must have been some women instigators of that scandal. It may be when we have thoroughly investigated the Teapot Dome affair we shall find a female figure at the bottom of It. According to this Broadway writer, the men are just straining at the leash to get to church, but our baleful, atheistical influence makes them go to the golf links Instead. The wicked shows where the chorus girls appear in nothing much but jewels and rouge would not be patronized if the women didn’t insist on taking the men there. All husbands snd fathers long to stay at home in the evening and read their Testament or their Shakespeare, according to Mr. Ousler, but we women will go off to prize fights and such places lie says that his sex does not respect women any more. Since we have lost our manners and our morals the men don’t think a thing of us. The marvel is that they can respect themselves while they stand idly by and watch us take the country to the devil. Os course, the thing that ails this young man Is that ho is suffering from a Broadway complex. What he needs is to take a little trip or even a short strch and see the American woman in her native haunts. He may be a brilliant novelist, but he is no more original than his forefather, Adam.

FEMININE MODE WILL BE TRICKY Latest in Sport Frocks Depend on Geometric Designs. ' By V F 1 £err(rr PALM BEACH, Feb. 10.—The latest in sport frocks for the season of 1927 depend upon an arrangement of geometric designs for decoration. One p.-u’ticular model has a beige angora blouse and a dark blue crepe skirt. Applied to the blouse are narrow strips of the crepe. The combination of beige and blue Is good. Another frock is of dull wine-vio-let crepe ctit with an ingenuity that distinguishes all of the chic daytime frocks. The interest of the frock is concentrated on the skirt which is stitched to fit over the hips and then falls in panel-like plajts in the front and in the back. There is an increasing favor for this type of crepe sports frock. Cutting and fitting the simplest of sports frocks has become a test of cleverness for many of the Paris designers. Section is fitted into section with the new sense of line that has developed during the past two seasons. A white crepe tennis frock has fullness worked into a brief skirt, fitted over the hips by means of the panel on the blouse. ELEPHANT MOTIFS Elephants, small sailboats and Japanese pagodas are used as motifs for the decoration of heavy for evening wraps.

Inconvenience? Yes; But Never Pain Menstruation is Nature—but menstrual pain is NOT natural, and not necessary. -Science has conquered the painful part. In a harmless—yes, healthful —little tablet called midol. * Midol is a more remarkable means of relieving sucli pain than even a habit-forming drug. It acts directly on the organs affected by menstruation, anil relief comes in five to seven minutes. Don’t have another day of forced quiet, of pain, low spirits or even discomfort! Midol is effective twelve hours or more. Yet it does not depress the heart, is not narcotic, and is utterly harmless. All druggists, 40 cents, In thin aluminum box that fits the smallest purse.
