whole world is composed of a sixletter word 'Myself'." But right in the same mail with that hot shot comes this balm for the wounded spirit: "I like you very much. It isn't love at first sight, it's two years I liked you. I am not very pretty, but fair. There's one thing I could tell you, I could make a good home for you. I am not jealous. I am not like some girls that like dances or go to hotels. If you have one girl already, just say so." Another longing lassie admits that she is not his ideal, but she has always liked his pictures. She's not writing because she wants him "or anything of that sort," but she thinks he is wonderful to be so careful in choosing a mate. She doesn't smoke or drink or go on wild parties, and she is glad to hear that some movie stars are decent. If she were his ideal, "what I mean, a blonde," she wouldn't be writing! Ready to Be Worshiped "VY/hile a righteous young person from Texas says : "I could answer everything you have said to your approval if given the chance.

And a little undergraduate nurse confides that she doesn't like society very much because she's never been in it. But the young man may have an opportunity to choose at first-hand, for several of the maidens announce joyfully their arrival in the Golden State in the near future. One from the Middle West says she will be visiting friends in Los Angeles shortly, adding the intriguing information that there will be "no interfering with inlaws on my side as my mother and little brother are all I have and they want me to have the best in life." Letters come from Merrie England and Bonny Scotland and other distant lands. One fair Britisher wants to know if she should send a picture or come out to the U. S. to see him. And Pauline mourns that she spent her money on a roadster before she read the ad, so her trip to California is "all in the tires !" Then there's the collection of eager friends who know just the girl. One from Florida, enclosing a newspaper picture of the fair one and a set of clippings about her, while a "Motion Picture Reader" from Louisville, recites the virtues of her best pal. "If you have intentions of wearing the ball and chain, won't you please let me send a photo of my sister?" pleads another. But, best of all, comes word from a fellow-male: "All right, Buster— One !— Two !— Three ! The race is on — you and me — and we're both looking for the same (Continued on page 102) Now You Can Reduce 2 to 4 Lbs. in a Night Eat what you please Wear what you please Do what you please Take no risky medicine Send the coupon for your first three Fayro Baths Thousands of smart women have found this easy way to take off 2 to 4 pounds once or twice a week.
