A fellow who can dance a dreamy waltz is especially dc slrable. T don't consider mjsclf especially sensible; In fact, a felfow of nineteen is hardly expected to be; but 1 can respect a decent girl abote all others, and haven't much respect for the so called "painted dolls." although I have gone out with them before now. I spent a year in the army ddring the last emergency nnd am pretty well "wised up" on the girls of today, and of all the many girls I have gone out with in m jumps from one part of the country to another and since my dis charge I find that the above-mentioned lulcs are obvious. I have always wanted and still hupe to meet a girl that doesu't require all of tltese. nnd I don't bcllee a sensible girl will. Do they, II. 0.7 I haen't the "dough" to show a girl the kind of a time she wants all the time.

A right kind of a fellow doesn't ex pect a girl to be n reproduction of a fashion plate, nor use paint, and. per souall, if 1 cer run into a girl who won't gic me a good-night KUs I'll tnke her address and call on her agulu if she will let me.
