Sho Is Beautiful Dear Cj-nthla Do you recall the let ter you got trom a girl signed "At Sea"? I think I know her. The other evening a piece appeared in your column about girls saying they were goid-looklng. Again. If you recall, "At Sea" said she wasn't good-looking, if It is the samo girl I am th'nklng about she 14 beauti ful. Her hair Is auburn and waves. Her eyes are n, deep blue and how they sparkle 1 Sh6 Is tall and wonderfully built. She said sho dressed "chic" nnd she certainly does. Why ho ever dropped her I don't know. Sho Is what I should think a man's "girl of dreams." Cheer up, "Bachelor," they still ex 1st. I am her best frlehd and know her to bo thn wonderful girl bho Is. This letter I wroto to prove that what a young girl said the other ovenlng was right; that Is when girls are realty good looking they don't know It "HEll FIUEND." Is a Boy Friend Proper? Dear Cynthia Is It proper or a dis grace for a girl of sixteen years to havo a boy friend?. And Is It any harm In a girl using a little powder to take the shine off her face? I don't mean to extremes. I go w'th a young boy of my own ngo' and lovo him as my own brother; In fact, ho Bcems like one to me. Ho has been to my Mister's home with me, and as far as I know he Is moro than a "wonderful pal." CjTithla, dear, the onlv reason I havo ngnlnst him In going home ho Insists upon m' giving him a good-night kiss. I surely love him as a boy friend, ns he Is so respectful, onlv but for this one reason as I havo explained. I don't think there Is any harm In kissing If you only kiss in a frendly waj' nnd some ono who np prec'ates your klss.es with respect. Is It proper or am I aou. :ho wrong thing by kissing hhn good-night? INNOCENftE. It Is perfectly proper to have a boy friend, dear, hut j-ou'should not' nllow him to kiss vou. A llttlo powder to take tho shine off one's face Is nil right, but it should never bo thick enough to bo noticed. Plea for the Girls Dear Cynthia I havo been an ardent reader of your column for the last year and derive much pleasure In reading tho letters therein. From your heading, "Please tell mo what to do," I arrive at tho conclusion that this column was originated by j-ou with the Idea of helping boys and glrrs In distress. Of late the column seems to bo monopolized by a certain clique, who s'gn themselves Do Jure, aasollno Quh. Old Bachelor and a few others, their wholo object bolng to "pan" girls. Let me say a few words for the oppo-, site sex, or which I hao numerous friends, somo of years' standing. There are just as nianv good girls in the world ns there aro bad. How do I know? For the simple rcaeon that I do not choosa my friends from the groups who frequent dance halls and hang around the parltB waiting to be picked up by any, one who desires to do so. 1 do not require klrses as loll for what pleasure they derive at my expense, ns I consider their company sufficient payment.

In tho Illustration, the stenographer In the background Is obliged to listen to a torrent of language which would disgrace an overseer of roustabouts. When It Is remembered that tho telephone girl Is trying to do her best In a nerve-racking occupation, that the Interrupted service Is not due to any negligence on her part, and that tils vituperation Is more likely to delay than to accelerato matters, his Im patience would seem to bo downright tupldlty brutal stupidity. .

Douglas Fletcher, toying Idly with a penny box of matches, watched their retreating backs reflectively Suddenly he grinned and drew a pencil from one pocket nnd cigarette papers from tho other. Crudely he printed on the hit of rlco paper the words: "Please, Honor ablo American, I so tired I die. Make too many matches too long. Kind help, If please. Annatto Sltsuc." He slipped the tissue Inside the box of matches, which he had noted were made In Japan, called a hoy and handed lilm tho box along with a dollar. "The lrst tlmo Mr Hansbrough orders u smoke, see that he gets this box," he commanded. Then ho leaned back with a pleasing sense of uccomnllshment. with p..

It meant months of leisure to court Kvelyn Keynes with his rival out of the way. It worked, nnd as ho had foreseen. DouglaB's suit prospered with a gtrl who, to tell tho truth, was a bit cha grined that Perry had taken her re fusal so casually and gone away without a word. Then one evening as he waited In the Keynes drawing-room for Kvelyn, he noticed n, penny box of matches on the table. Its incongruity there struck lilm and ho casually picked It up. Then he gasped with astonishment his own slip of paper was still inside. But why had Perry sent It to Evelyn? Looking for nnprobatlon, probably By George was Evelyn back of Perry's whim to go about doing good? If so this was some Joke on Perry, going half way round the world on n wild gooso chase and losing Evelyn besides. Tho humor of It struck lilm and he laughed aloud. Just then Evclvn came In. "What Is it?" sho nsked. "This match box amuses mo " he hesitated. "Yes, Isn't It odd?" exclaimed Evelyn frankly: "It came unsigned post-marked Honolulu, with tho address typewrit ten." Then D'X'-'aa slipped a cog. The two were so my much in accord, these days, nnd Perry was so very much nn outsider and so very far nway, that he told her tho whole Joko Ho was a llttlo dubious at the last as to whether tho full humor of It appealed to hor, hut as sho remained her usual gracious self, he assured himself that It hadn't been a tactical error, after all. Perry's sixty-footer made slow tlmr and It was some two months after his depnituro that ho llnallv reached Yohe nnd looked up tho Steel Products Export Corporation, whence the matches had come. Tho Interpreter lent him by a friendly United States consul explained his errand to tho superintendent. Oh, yes. Annatto Sltsue was still em ployed there. Certainly, sho could he called.

Tho Interpreter went out with the su perintendent and Perry found himself nlone when a slim flguro with hair oiled high, daintily Japanese In every detail of her costume, entered with head re spcctfully bowed.

' Two Minutes By HERMAN The Only Sensible Plan THKItB nre nn amazing number of people who arc constantly watching out for some scheme or another thnt will make them suddenly nnd so vastly rich that poor Croesus, Jlldns nnd the Count of Monte Cristo will simply turn over in their resting places nnd hold their faces to the ground In sheer shnme. It may have been one such gentlemnn who, when his funny bone was In good working order, committed this brand-new idea. "I have n plnn," ho wrote In to bis favorite newspaper, "to get rich quick. I know that many plans have been devised with such a purpose, but none quite so ingenious in principle nor so simple In practice. It is thla: Why shouldn't everybody give me a nickel? Consider this for n moment whut n small thing It is to nsk for, nfter all. Whnt Is a nickel in nnj body's HfcJ A lolly-pop, a bone-crushing ride in n cattle car, a fortieth or thereabouts of a decent meul. 1'eople lose nickels every day and never look for them. Walters spurn them. Uarbcrs have forgotten whnt they look like. Hot boys lnugh derisively nt them Whnt can one do with" n nickel novvadajs? Give It to mcl A nickel from every person in the United Stntes ! That is my slogan. I Jiavo a theory that if every man, woman nnd child Iu the United States sent me a nickel immedi ately I should hnve within a week's time $5,000,000 or 5(1,000,000. And as soon ns I get the money I shall publish n thesis setting forth how any one can with the proper co-operation of the public become uilekly''nnd worklessly a milllonnire!" This cute little pnnhnndling scheme reminds me of tho gentlemnn who con ceived the idea of becoming rich by breeding cats for their fur. The brilliant underlying principle was thnt he needed practically no capital to start tho busi ness or to keep it going. The cat pound would gladly let him have all the cats ho wanted. These cnts would cntch rnts, which they would eat, except for a smnll proportion which would be bred for the purp of providing more rats to feed the cnts which would be bred for their furs. After the cats were skinned they would be fed to the ruts. So the cnts would live on the rnts, nnd the rats would live ou the cnts, and botli jgould continue to breed nnd thus offset the diminutions effected by their appetite. And all the while the proprietor of the qst and rnt fnrm, whose overhead charges were practically negligible, would be reaping thn large profits from the' sale of cats' furs! However, the undertaking failed miserably becnusc the owner forgot to tnkc Into consideration the laws of hygiene und diet, which affect even cats and rats. And, becoming disgusted, he'turned loose all his cots nnd rnts and let them devour each other or do any thing they pleased, nnd then he made for the first newspaper he could get that had a "help wanted" column. There ore sure to bo "niggers in the woodpile" In all schemes that promlsi something for nothing, or much for little steer clenr of them.
