Real Philadelphia Girls
jo (he Vittter of the Vvcnitio "utile l.tdotr;
Sir Delnu a dally reader of tho I:kmnii
JTW.IC J.isnaKn I take great pleaaure In
rtadlnr the letters that aro publluhed dally
In tho Troplc'a Forum from different younir
ladles and men, and they seem to all bo
about the eame subject, lt.: "I know n.
rounit man, but he doesn't care for mo be
causa I am a small-timer," and nnother will
My, "I know a younir lady, but she Is a,
Mr-timer and I don't caro for thnt type."
Now what I would like to know Is this!
What Is ft small-timer nnd blir-tlmer, or
when Is n R'rl blg-tlmer? I have never
heard the expression until I came to Phila
delphia., Whllo I'm on the subject of
Komcn I would like to tell some of these
self-styled bin- and smnlt-tlmcrs about the
women that I have met In Philadelphia (and
I didn't stnnd In front or tho Heading Ter
minal to meet them either).
To start with. I want to say that I am
an American nnd n seafaring man and have
ten for fifteen years nnd I am only thirty
tear old today.
I he trmeled In every civilized lountry
In the world nnd In most of the uncivilized
countries, Imvc nlso mndo live. complete trips
aniun.i inn worm ana i nave serve,! as a
lieutenant In tho American, Chllenn nnd
Orrelc nales and ut the present I'm on offi
cer In tho United States merchant marine,
and, believe me, I have met nnd became
very well ncqualntcd with some women,
women or an types, colors and class, but I
have to take my hat off to the uirls of Phila
delphia for belni; tho champion snobs of
the world.
Of course, I do not mean to say that every
jrlrl In Philadelphia Is a snob: far from Iti
hut all I havo met were nnd always will
l If they don't come back to earth. Of
rourM", somo one Is Kolni; to tell mn that I
didn't mivt the right sort of ulrls, but I
Know that without being told. What I
would like to know, though. Is this: Where
is a stranger, like me, going to meet these
honest-to-goodncss and real girls. l'o tried
everjwhere, but all I met always want mo
to buy them a Stutz roadster, a diamond
ring, a new hst or, at the ory least, a
meal ticket,
I am considered a good dresser und no
one would ever think that I was n sailor
to sec mo ashore, and I suppose I look like
rtdy money to all the girls I meet. bcu9
when I Invito them to go to a show, why
it Is always the ShubVrt, or tho Forrest:
none of them ever say, "Let's go to the
mmlM." and If I Invito them to have
vimrthlng to eat. It Is "Oh. let's ko to the
Walton or tho nitx," nnd from the actions
nf the ones that I have taken to ih.. ntt
and Walton I know that they had never
"ten in euner pineo iwrore In their lives and
at the same tlmo trying to muke me be
lieve that they lived there.
I have a salary of 1330 a month and my
board, but bellovo me. It keeps me broke
feedlmr theio girls. They nlwnj have a
tlrlhday. always hungry; their eyes hurt
