THE MODERN GIRL.

Sir,—Does " Woman Hater" think that typistos go to cabarets and dance by themselves? Por every girl whose work suffers nes:t day there is somewhere a man whose work suffers equally, if not more, men not always being satisfied with the joys of dancing without the spur of doubtful refreshments. Does a " head" improve a man's work or temper? Perhaps we could account for the employer's loss of patience the following day. ; Where was he last night.?' Evidently " Digger " is a most fascinating man—oh, that he was in my office! There is absolutely no temptation to flirt in the office which I pollute, most of the men in personal appearand arid manners being a protection in themselves. • As for men riot caring to marry poor, unfortunate girls, mpy I suggest that the majority spend eo much on their personal appearance and on amusement that there is nothing left to support a ? As for men not admiring the modern typiste does it occur to them that tho average typiste sees so much of a man's real nature that she herself becomes! a little fussy? ONE OJ TKB DESPism

Sir,—The reason why some mien do not : marry reflects back to the age-old maxim " Man proposes, woman declines." Perhaps " Digger's " lady declined. Of course men cannot : find girls who will believe implicitly all- they say, for now a girl can see beneath a man's superficial veneer and find out for herself whether ha be worthy of her deepest regard. Wan " bigger " One of those ? . According to " Woman Hater " and " Bigger " man has all the virtue and woman all the vices. For myself I consider it to bo fifty-fifty, and would; advise, those misguided males' not to judge others by tho one standard. " Mister Lodger ''. also seems to be one of the aggrieved ones. . I wonder has he ever enumefated his own Vices'. Probably, like most men, he hasn't ; sbufc • give m» a mate with some acknowledged faults and with tolerance of other people's foibles.' One would live happier thus than in a home bearing , the stamp of intolerance, Fimr-FxriT.
