Most Of the Letters Are Serious in Tone

And there the letters of goody batch of

bunch to get from all the country Those that

Little Helps for the Girls
Their Joys and Sorrows Discussed in
Answers TO Their Letters

l have SO many questions to ask that I'm
afraid you won't have time to answer them
Is IT proper for girl to take a gentle
mans arm when walking or should he take
hers? And is 1t not improper for a gentle
man to put his arm around a girls waist
when walking?
Is 1t proper for a girl to meet a gentle
man on street corner? M.
You are mistaken If you think 1 am
not interested in the considerations that
lead you to do housework. On the con-
trary, l am much interested and think
you take a very sensible view of the
matter. If more girls would look at it
in the same way, there would be fewer
complaints of the difficulty of girls find
ing something to do. The woman takes
the mans arm and not the man the WON
ans when 1t is done at ALL But the
habit of going arm in arm has fallen
almost entirely into disuse.
1t is certainly improper for a young
man to put his arm around a girls
waist when he is walking with her in
public.
l would advise you not to meet him
on the corner unless 1t is an old friend
whom you know very well. 1t looks as
though there was something wrong
about the young man If he is not willing
to go to the girls house, or something
peculiar about the girl if she is unwill-
ing to have him there.
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-15

NOW it is my turn to ask question,
ana nope somebody will arise and en-
by the expression see in many of the
letters l receive, keeping company?
When young girl and a young man
are keeping company" does it mean
have all my life heard of love affairs
between mon and women, but not in this
phrase. l don't think 1 quite like it.
Because of my ignorance l can't re-
ply to your question very intelligently.
If a man and a girl are engaged the
girl has perhaps the right to find fault
with the man when he shows little po-
lite attentions to another girl, although
she is very foolish to do it. If he is
merely paying her pleasant friendly at
tention. she is still more foolish if she
is unreasonable about him In either
case l fail to see any harm in the gift
of the box of candy
