Dear Cynthia I'm writing to you with
tlio hono that you will ploase help me
and advise me If you can. Well, hero
Is my problem;
Am a girl of seventeen and am very
lonesomo. Thnt little word 'lonesome1'
menns so much, I am learning now,
work nil day and dread coming horns,
for I know what nwnlts me nothing
but the atep nnd bed and, bolievo me,
Cynthia, I'm becoming discouraged.
I do not uttond church, but bolong to
an organisation that Is very well known
?. we ,nre elvlnic a email social and
I m afraid I enn't go because I have no
boy friends. Can't you Imagine how I
feel, Cynthia?
lMenso tell me where I can meet some
girls and boys of my own age, or come
In contrct with girls who will be
friends. i
I'm not a baby nnd certainly would
like to have both girl nnd boy friends.
JUST A LONESOME LITTLC GIRL.
If you already belong to nn organi
zation that has social meetings, go to
those meetlrgs nnd meet the members
there. The only way to get to know men
nnd girls Is to moct them under the
right ausplcts and make friends.
Defenda 'McW.,' 'Sophist and Others
Dear Cynthia Circumstances at last
force me to wield tho Iron pen. Indig
nation rises from the depths nnd flows
forth a drop of Ink (perhaps this Is
too deep for "The I'lebe"). I have
tried to remnln nloof, the Interested
spectator, believing that "nil's well that
ends well " nut as the general watch
ing la nnxlous to rush forwnrd to the
fray so I nm goaded on by desire to
vindicate right and show wrong In Its
truo colors.
Patiently I have listened to com
plaints, cynlcnllv havo I viewed criti
cism and nnmzlngly rend slanderous
ridicule, nut thero la n limit nnd "The
Plebe" In his letter of the 8th certainly
bns overstepped tho bounds. Hiding
nenth n mnsk entitled "unintelligible
readings," wo have clearly discerned
his nlm. Yes, "Plebe,"' w can even
understand you at your "best."
"Tho Plebo" spooks of hlddon mean
ing nnd hints at u maze of worJs that
cover little then produces n "Babylon
Inn Jargon" supposedly meaningless.
But hero and there In their meanlngless
ness, and I doubt whether ho himself
felt It, ono sets tho weak attempt at
slander. He, or rnther sho (Jealousy
more befits a woman), certainly ex
aggerates to alarming proportions. I
have read "McWIzzburgh," "Sophist"
nnd others, nnd havo found thoir dis
sertations Indeed enjoyable. Neither
bookish nor demnndlng of a dictionary
reference. "McWIzzburg" Indeed has
the charm of tho commanding writer.
For who but does not lovo to feel the
strength which distinguishes tho master
mind? Truly, to honor by comparisons.
"MoWlzzburg's" skill far excels the
nets of thoso who have feebly attempted
to besmirch his high Ideals and drag
them through Uie mlre.
Let this be, a portender, "Plebo !"
Hereafter discus. subjects. "Person
ality" Is one of tho subjects, but not
personal evil thoughts. I leavo to
imagination whnt might be said of your
statements, for I hesitate to write It
here. You well know that "one good
turn deserves another," nnd how well
you now know I could retaliate by
mercilessly Ilnylng you and your "better
unexpressed" sentiments.
Beware, If you seek personal argu
ments you will meet more than your
match. To err Is human, but to persist
In error, folly
MENS TEMPORUM.
"Reddy" to "Pep" and Others
Dear Cynthia Little did I dream
that some day I would be glad that I
was born n "redhead." Yet the unex
pected has happened, nnd If It hnd not
been for tho above fact I may have lost
my temper nnd havo gone Into violent
hysterica after rending yesterday's nr
tlcl&o by "Pop" and "Whatweuscdtobe."
liven at that I almost forgot myself, but
fortunately "Chnrmldcs' " charming nr
tlclo came In between the two others
and "smoothed the troubled waters."
How long will girls Btlll assert that
the boya have driven them to powder
and paint? How long must we endure
such false accusations? "Whatweusod

you have dolled up In all tho colors of

Isn't It possible that " 'neath the one

Jean Colfax had written tho article
cleverly. She knew how to work on
tho henrts of tho woman readers nnd
she spoke feelingly of Harriet's experi
ences; tho fact that sho had not com
municated with her husband lest sho be
suspected, and the fact that through her
efforts Charllo Harmon had confessed
to the theft.
"If it had not been for this woman's
bravery," tho nrtlclo went on, "and her
determination to stick to tho gunB, her
efforts In tho offices of Hnrmon & Graves
might havo been misunderstood." There
followed n brief description of tho girl
who hnd visited the offices of the Star

nnd was cnger to mnkc trouble for

THE DAILY NOVELETTE
A Different Plane
By R. RAY RAKER
In a moment of indiscretion, when
tho romantic sldo of her nnturo waa
set aflamo by glowing words of senti
ment from two masculino lips. Ado
laldo Whltmnn consented to bocoms
tho bride of tho young man who uttered
them.
And now aho regretted the rashness.
For Gilbert Clnxton was not tho man
for her. Ho belonged to n different
piano of life a lower plane, sho folt
convinced. She was tho bolle of Brock
ton, and her father waa the Mayor and
one of tho wcathlcst citizens.
Gilbert was n dreamer. He lived in
n world of Imagination nnd lacked tho
practicalness that makes for success.
Ho received a small wago for his
labors ns a clerk in the offices of tho
Occnana Portland Cement Co., and out
side of working hours he dreamed nnd
wove tho dreams Into stories that never
sold.
Gilbert waa writing n book, he told
Adelaide, but sho had no faith in him
or his works. Ho was n good looking
man with a flno vocabulary,
So Adolaldo sat down nnd wroto a
note to Gilbert, explaining the situa
tion. Sho could not tell him In person,
for fear that his fafcdnntlng personality
would undermine her resolution.
"I am very sorry this has hap
pened," snld the note, 'but I rcallzo
I was not qulto myself when I inado
that promiso to you. ltcally we wcro
not meant for each other. Wo belong
to different plnncs of llfo, nnd we never
would bo hnppy. Flcaso forglvo mo. '
Gilbert received the note that after
noon. It camo with threo long, heavy
envelopes, and when nt first ho saw It
ho took it for on ncccptnnco of somo of
his work.
"Jerry," ho called, holding up tho
small envelope. "Here's something
different for a change."
Jerry wns the slim, brown-hnlred girl
seated at a tablo reading n manuscript.
She had lived with Mrs. Claxton slnco
tho death of the girl's father bomo years
ago nnd was considered ono of the fnm
lly. Jerry wns grcntly Interested In
tho manuscripts which Gilbert was
forovcr sending away nnd getting back,
and ono day sho had asked permission,
to look ono over. Sho had read It and
offered a helpful oritlclsm which re
sulted in sale of tho story. After that
Gilbert always lot Jerry peruso tho
product of his brain before sending It
nway.
Mor eyes brightened when Gilbert
held up tho small envelope, but his face
took on a puzzled look whon ho noticed
tho penmnnahip of the address. Ho tore
tho envelope open in silence nnd read,
and then he went out and took B walk
without saying n word. Jerry s eyes
followed him through the door, nnd they
wore full of sympathy or something
else. She nodded undcrstnndlngly ns
sho resumed reading.
Then camo n great day for Gilbert.
What mado tho day great was a, slim
letter from a book publisher, and It
Invited him to .New 'York for a con -
sultntion regarding the booX that was
to bo published.
Gilbert went, and as the trnln took
him out of sight n mlddle-nged woman
and a young girl turned from tho sta
tion
" , .
wncn no comes out " y S
success," predicted the mldd e-aged
woman. "I know his book will win, ;
although I hnve not icndlt. '
"It will win, all right." said the
girl. "I have read it, nnd I know it,
is good.' ...
To herself she added somewhat sadly :
"lcs. ho will be a success and then ,
ho will comobnek and marry that Miss ,
h tmnn. while I 1 am just a kind
of sister. !
The book was a success from the
brcnklng sellers of the season. Inside
of a month from the time It nppcared
ou hale, Gilbert was on his wny to
fume, while tho futuro Ipokcd finan
cially bright ns well.
Six months later when word came
that Gilbert was returning to the old
homo town half tho populaco laid plans
to cntcrtnin him.
Adelaido Whitman's father broko the
news to her.
"I see young Clnxton Is coming home.
f. -(-it i r wli.".: "i." "r.

Adelaide felt much the same. The'
Immaculate man with high ambitions
had not yet come, nnd Th$
win 10 icnr ne never would. Yes. OH-
he would im n 1 ".i. ...'
t When Gilbert arrived ho was greeted
by a crowd of friends nnd would-be
friends. The major was there to shake
his hand nnd welcome him ho
Xt home .Tern. i,,,i.i fim,. ,i,
of bocial invitations, nnd among the lot K with tlli,rcs.t of th,e hVB this nftir
was ono from Adelaide Whitman. Jerry ,,00n nn(' Charles and bidney will rc-
winceu us sue baw him tenr it onen nm
read.
Ho still cares," she sighed.
The cplbtle was more than a social
Invitation.
"I realize now," it said, "that I was
mistaken before and that I really eared
for you. I shall bo clad if vou will
forget thnt Inst note I wroto you nnd
things can bo with us as they were bo
fore." Gilbert lnld tho note nsldc and smiled
whimsically. Then ho turned a peculiar
glnnco on Jerry one she never had no
ticed before and invited her for n stioll
nlong tho woody path whero he had gono
so often in quest of inspiration. They
wero gono some time, nnd when they
returned both were smiling happily.
"I never guessed it," Juiry said as
they entered the houso. "Did iou?"
"Never," he confessed. "Not until
I went over tho manuscript with the
publisher nnd ho showed me how the
chnnges I had made at your suggestion
were largely responsible for ncccptanco.
Then I did somo hard thinking, nnd
suddenly I realized how It wnH."
Ho picked up Adelaide's note, read It
again, then wroto a reply.
"I nm sorry," said tho note hn pen
ned, "but I am forced to ngree with
jour former decision that we were not
meant for each other. We belong to
different planes of life, nnd we never
could be happy. I linvo found some ono

IT WAS a hot, comewhat stuffy eve

sit out on tho porch In tho -cool, grato

But no Indeed; they were crowded
Into tho little living room, scarcely big
enough for the family nnd tho two
guests, nnd seated on upholstered
chairs.
Tho lights glared brightly, malting It
seem hotter than It was.
Then tho host assumed n generous,
entertaining expression and rose from
his chnlr.
"I'vo got some good new ones here,"
ho beamed graciously. "Want to hear
them?"
And ho pulled out a number of phon
ograph records.
Or course, they were nnxlous to hear
tho new ones, and bo ho played them

A room that Is crowded -with wnrm

At tho end of tho concert of new
