is necessary to append your name and address but these I are held In confidence and will not be published Lost and found notices I cannot be published in the column A 0 Dear Dearl Miss Betty Ill I'll wa wager er you all had a a wonderful time at your little party the other night I only wish I could have been thero there also but living livina so o. o fa far I away aay from Salt Lake made it impossible for fo me m to et there every time I would like to run un up The other night I went to a dance and met a boy who gave his name as He told me mo he was from Chicago and had just returned from China and Japan But for fo some cause I could not believe him and told him so Well he lie showed me methe methe methe the name and address on his identification identification identification card in his pocketbook But even then I had my doubts Something Something Something Some Some- thing told me he was not a very good goodboy boy and I sort of imagined that he ho was a bootlegger I had never neverseen seen him before and have hae never seen him since but he treated me like a queen Now my question is does he really live livo in Chicago and has he been around the world as he said he had Also is he married maried I have wondered many times and to satisfy my curiosity I decided to write to you Hoping to receive my GIRLIE answer soon It H 1 it quite possible that he has done all the things he ho said sald he had bad and man many more Perhaps he served as midshipman on some ship and so 80 went round the world There are numerous possibilities s for such rolling rolling- stones But we think you were right to let your intuition serve erv you lie He is not a bona fide tide resident of oC Chicago I 1 did not riot look fit at the stars sti to find out this fact for lor you but called Polk's directory offices office where directories of ot all the large arge cities of ot the tho United States are Jc kept t. t But as to whether or not ho be hohas 10 has haa actually aH been around the world or is 15 a bootlegger or Is married mar mar- rIc ried I have no wa way of knowing I ITy My Ty 1 dear clear ea r. r I am not an astrologist I Inor nor a fortune teller nor nant of
