Shall we leave our husbands for these other fellows, who are home-loving men, or shall we stick with our husbands?

BORER EERE EERE ¥e * PUBLIC KISSING = MIKE ERE KHER Dear Miss Grey: Don't you think it entirely out of place for a young man to kise his sweetheart in pub- lie, even if they are to be married soon? My chum says not. Every time her fiance calla (no matter how many members of the family or visitors are present) he always kisses her. Recently he left town for a couple of days and my friend went to the station with him and when he kiss- ed her goodbye, several people, knowing they were not married, snickered and turned away disguat- ed. My chum says they were ouly Jealous. Please give us your views on the subject. Would also like to hear from other readers. GIRLIE. A.—It all depends on how it is done. To make a parade of affec- tion Is poor taste; but I think it a very fine thing for the young man to quietly kiss his fiancee good night in the presence of her family. te ITT THAR * WHAT ARE OLD MAIDS MADE OF? * * + * * eee ee eee ee ee Dear Miss Grey: Will you please tell me what makes an old maid so hot tempered and eranky?
