Articles not meeting these specifi cations will be rejected. To the Editor: Again I find myself burning tho midnight elec tricity to answer a letter cr eo that I hava found in the "Forum" the Jast two or three dnya. I think I have a bone to pick with "A Highlander." I ulnceroly hope that the Highlander was the only one to misinterpret my let ter. Truly. I did not mean to pose ks a model anl those who know me know good and well that I am not. If I cared to "g-H it back" at Highlander I might say thnt model" in defined as a Binall imi tation of tho real thing. Homebody laid that the average girl could n t do any of the thing thnt a mother does I simply contested the state ment that la all. Of courwe, It Is matter of opin ion, hut I would. Bay to Mr. Ilurk- Jey thit It Is not cutlins one's hulr that furnishes a iltutlnp rink lor files, but that baldness comes from wearing a hat tho greater part of Iho time. I decidedly disagree when he goes so far an to say that "that office girl should be taking care of a noma and family nnd let omo of tho young men who cannot find work have tholr Jobs and earn an honest living for i wife and home' Pardon no, but really I have not heard a statement quite radical in a low? tirno. What, may 1 ask. do you think a girl Khould jo a'ay nt homo after she is of age, and have her folks support her? Well, hmlly, not if I know the average girl! - "Nnt a Confirmed Bachelor" has stolen a march on mo. Hut If I don't know who ha lf I should like to thank him sincerely, who ever he may bi. fr putting In n good word for lh girls. I thlnK If the boys would bo perfectly frank about it, they would agree that the girls are not quite so baa as has boon made out. And on the other hand, tho girls, and I for one, will gladly admit that the boya aro not half bad. Someone has already said, and 1 quite agree that ono eon always lenvo alone that type of person that Ije disap urovcs of. There are girls who go with boys for their cars, or tho shows and dan cos the hoys take Hum to, but If you boys think that we girls arc not ns ashamed as you are w filiated, with theso "gold-diggers then you aro m!i:!a'tsn. Ono girl 111(0 this ciuihph every boy sha knows, to take it for g-ant cd that nil girls oro tho Maine. I'd rathoi' have some ono boy friend that I could ba a real friend to, and bo pals -vllh, than go with holf a dozen a few times each, and then havo them cacn go away and talk about mo for my gold. digging method. And I am saMsflcd that most girls feel tho same way. So lomj as the average boy goes With tho average girl, and the hc virglua kcp to thciienelves and thank thel stars thnt thoy nro not compelled t-. mlnglo with wo mor tals, why k-ep throwing stones. After all most of us live In glufH houses. VIOLA BLY. To tho Editor: The Open For um is getting to be qullo HUereMt Jiig. And I want to say a hearty Amen to all of the tetters In tipmI:iv's o'llthm. Hut what can wo oxneet of nenoratlons to come. when wo seo how so many of the children aro rained. They not only rule their purenjs, but r.nnoy Ihei nelirhbors who are trying to rulm their children right. 1 agree, wllh any good neighbors, who says U seems like a sin to raiso children In town. Hut what can wo di when wo are compelled to leave the farm (on which we have slav ed for years) and cjiho to tow and work for wogei &o hh to b ablo to nay tho inU'iest on the mortgage on iho farm nnd keep on pxbitinir. If only tho farmer had hilf a chance, there would not bo so many vacant faun hous es, and th J day lab iror would not havo to .ipend half or mora of his tlmo looking f ir wjrk. Hut as n result uf Iho election we all know wo mo In for another four years of hard struggle. "Quoting a man who knew." the American people love to ho hum -Imaged. Hut in the midst of all this root-hog-or- dlc. If wo nil ha 1 aeuse enough teach our children that when we pay a thing wo iiuim It, Instead of giving In (as they Know wo wm If they whitio around mug eno.ign, wo could expect our Improvement In social life. And if wo would tench our children to eat at meal tlmo Instead of continually pie ln between meals, and then at meal tlmo leave tho table with their plates filled full to be scrap ed Iihj tho garbage can. wo could cut down tho groioiy ma notlcnblo degi ae. So who is to blame for Uio modern flappers, nnd would bo dudes, if not the parents. MltS. WIIAT-YDU-CALL-KH. To tho Kdltor: (letting down to brnsd ticks in this matrimonial tangle, let us sum up the situation preparatory to a conclusion In the matter. That n woman will have the List word ns well an the first, of thnt thero Is no doubt. As always, thero it faults both sides. Tho men uso rouge and powdei as well os Iho women nnd in many ways adorn them sclvej to attract tho girls; hence theio is no reason to blame one and not tho other. These things. when artistically applied, gives touch of neatness, that nature hat fnlled to produce. Hut It is a sort of doscpilon, that reflects on the character. If young peoplo win docolvo each other ns to their looks, this trait of diameter may go into their llws. Honesty Is the bent policy in this matter as well as nil others Thac dancing to n sort of sox lure, of that there can Yt no doubt,- and with all Its at tending evils la condomnablc. Thj married men, who hnvr been scored rather hard nnd hnvr failed to reply, are not nltogether to blame, Kver since the Harden of Kden, the forbidden fruit hn always taste I best. Ills office girl or lady In his employ makes un- Ufcual di-play of her charms, leg, waerlng low cut drew, no sleeve, etc. and ho takes it as a sort of Invitation, considering the unstn Wllty of character, whlc his indi cated. If a girl gives tho impression of being decent, a man hao always respect lor her an1 will attempt no iuriauous. A well known author s&ld: A woman la nothing but a bone and a hunk of hair, to which might be uuucti wim a drug store on thfc outyluo and n devil inside. Can man afford, to take chances marrying her? Ask Jad, he knows. A BACHELOH. to the Editor: Time an old bachelor took a hand in this let ter writing content you are con ducting. Tho letter from "The Business Woman" a truly correct namo for tho tetter writer was so rotten it was good. She sure must oo tending to everybody's buklnosa. How in tho world doe she know so much of what thtso office men nro doing when she has ko man things to keep her busy, such as her music Jes3-jns. Surely if she wanis io oe as perfect in music ns -he la in minding other people's uusmcss sno must take tlmo pracUce? AVhere does she Ket the time to nose about to see all these things? "Seeing is believing" and to state tho things she has In h, letter for tho public to read she surely must be a busy body. Some oi you men who have to use of fices to earn your dally bread for your families should try to find out who ho Is. Guess from Ih vuy hiiu whips mere isn't a decent man in the world.

I just hate to have men say such mean things ubout us girls an 4 I wouldn't like to think that tin men were as bad as the girls fi::y they, are. 1 think that both sides are talk Ing that way because they an really ignorant or misguided as to the true facts. The men judge the girls by the characters they bee in the movies and the girls Judge tho men from what they read about them in the awful books that are published nowada-ys. I never go to movies.
