Invite Her to the Party
Dear Cynthia I have been reading
your columns ns long as Lean remember,
and seeing the good and wholesome
advice you have given others, I hope
jou will do what jou can to help me.
I am seventeen years old (that Is,
I will be very soon), und I Intend to
have a birthday party. Now some time
ago, when I was going to business col
lege, I met a girl who was about six
months my Junior. We became ry
good friends, nothing mushy though I
don't believe in that stuff) until she
left school, about last Christmas.
Shortly after I left myself and have
I not seen her since, I have never caled
at her house, as at the time I thought
I was a little' too young to be callng at
houses. Now what 1 want to
clrls'
know Is, would it be good manners
to invite tins gin to my nouse to
the party?
I Intend to have a few others there.
boyn and girls, some of whom she Ib
acquaintea witn. ir i ao invite mis
girl, should I call at her house for her,
as she does not know any of the boys
who will be there, who could escort her
to the party?
If you can answer this for me In
My gratification Is that I could meet
a few friends with common sense enough
to confine their talks and discussions
to the more noble and elevating matters
of happenings and events.
It must be evident to pertons of free
social liberties that often their absence
from home causes undue hardship and
Inconvenience to others.
This nurse Is no doubt aware of the
fact that there are many women who
claim to be professional who can barely
make ends meet for their clothes and
living quarters.
They are the cabaret kind. And the
men who aro so very popular with the
same class usually have a well-drained
Dam; account.
It all derends what men and women
want to be; dependent or independent,
I certainly feel worry for the young man
or woman wholly at the mercy of capi
talists and roguish frauds and grafters.
To me It appeals as a legitimate plan
and policy to deny an occasional visit
to the gay and white-light district. Men
and women are pretty safe in their
homes. I never entertained a thought
but that 5 per vent of married women
would agree to spend their evenings in
their home
I am greatly surprised to learn of
single women expressing such a desire.
It Is something bo very, very unusual.
There nre plenty of extravagant women
driving their husbands to bankruptcy
and the divorce court. If you are still
on the safe side feel proud of It. Virtue
If not without a just reward.

ABOUT THOSE WHO STAND

Such as Getting Every Item Included in the Sixty-Cent Dinner and
Making thc Ladict Put Dotvn Train Windows Do You
Wear Out Your Life on Petty Triumphs?
TT WAS ln a rather Inconspicuous
restaurant where you do 'very well
In the evening for sixty or seventy
five cents, according to which bill you
select. Ono of tho prices you pay for
getting good food nt moderate cost Is
to share your table with any ono who
happens to come along. Tho lady ln
question had said "bring me the sixty
cent dinner."
She tranquilly sipped her soup Hnd
thon in a few minutes arrived the time
for tho main act. In came the turkey'
cutiet, in came the lima beans, ln came
tho sweet potatoes, the cup of coffee
nnd the roll. The lady ln question be
gan to oat. Then slowly, like a cloud, a
troubled scowling look crossed her
brow. She laid down her knife and
fork, picked up the menu card and be
gan to tako Inventory of what was on
tho table.
Suddenly a look of satisfaction
Jumped onto her face and settled It
self there. The knlfo and fork were al
lowed to remain Inactive and there
was a sharp knocking on the table 1
with a spoon. i
The busy waitress disengaged her
self from a table nearby and came
over.
"Waitress," said the voice that be
longed to tho strangely satisfied ex-
presslon, "do you see beets written on
this card? Is there any reason why I
should not have them?" Then my
friend tossed a gleaming glance of
triumph across the table. Just aa
though all the people who ent In res
taurants were aligned In one solid
army against girls who forget to bring
beets.
Then she spoke still taking for
granted the admiration from the other
side of the table,
"Not that I caro for bceti," she
said, "but, I bcllevo ln sticking up for
my rights."
And hugging what seemed to be a
triumph to her heart, she resumed the
eating of her dinner.
HOW. much time and energy some
people spend in sticking up for
their rights! Enough of both to really
accomplish something worthwhile.
Isn't It so'.'
There Is the man who gets In the
hotel at eight and finds the clerk, ln
some unaccountable way. has given

already established ln it and there Is
a room down the hall furnished some
thing like It and with as many win
dows. Will he take It? Not If he has
to sit up all night ln the lobby! What
right had they to give his room out?
In the end he gets It, of course, and

If they con possibly find a reason to

Petty triumphs! You can spend your
whole life reaching for little things
and you get them too, if jou strive
hard enough. But there Is, after all,
only Just so much time, Just so much
