Dear Mrs. Thompson-I am a girl
of q and engaged to a good looking
man OF %. Some OF my girl friends say
IL l marry him / will lose their friend
ship. They say I am under the con-
troll of a 'soul kiss" Neither of our
parents object to u marriage. ! have
not objected 70 my intended" kissing
after our engagement.
The girls are silly and you are
foolish to listen to them. Marry the
man IL you love him and your par
ents like him.
You have a perfect right to kiss
when you're engaged. but don't give
him a surfejt of 1t. I don't know
what q soul kiss" is and nobody else
is good enough for a good, honest,
human girl. @- @ #
Dear Mrs. Thompson--I have a tan
coat that a blue spots on it from
a blue umbrella. How can I remove
them? What will whiten brown arms
and hands?
Soaking it in cold water might take
out part of the stain. II not, try
lemon Juice. either alone or mixed
with table salt. If this doesn't work,
I'm afraid you will nave to send the
coat to a professional cleaner, or have
1t dyed some dark color.
To whiten the skin, CRATE one ounce
fresh horseradish root, pour over II
one pint of cold buttermilk, let stand
four hours. then apply.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-Q) I am q
young girl 16 years old I am four and
one-half feet tall, weigh ITO pounds.
The measure Of my hips IL S2k, bust
80 inches, waist % inches. Am / well

~ You are a little heavy for your
height. (2) Exercise. Don't be
afraid to help with the housework.
Work in a garden If you have one.
Walking Is good to enlarge the legs.
Try massaging the arms with cocoa
butter. You will probably develop

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My mother Is
very cruel to me. She doesn't want
me home at all n calls me names 1
couldn't tell you in this letter. I have
been living out since I was 10, but l got
sick and am out Of the hospital only
two. weeks. The doctor told me to
stay home four weeks and rest, but
four days after 7 got home my mother
put me out. with my clothes. l am
home again, but she says I must go
and she tells the neighbors terrible
things about me which are not true,
but I am afraid they believe them. I
have.n nc other place to 60. What shall
1 do? sa -
Broken Hearted Girl.
Ask one Of the neighbors or some
body you know, to take you home un-
til you are strong enough to work, and
promise to pay them for your board
and lodging as soon as you can earn
the money.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is there no
way for q perfectly respectable girl to
meet nice young men In a big city, IN
less she goes out on the street and
makes herself common by picking
them up?"
I am 20 years old, have lived in the
city wv years, have a good education,
dress very well (not loud), can play
the plano, know how to dance and row
and can make on evening entertaining,
providing the other party does not de-

and kissing until midnight"
I attend church regularly, but have
been introduced to only two young
men-one from h University who Is
so besought by the feminine species
that his life must be a burden, and the
other a fellow Who has an automobile
and would love to have a girl, but who
lacks about two inches Of being five
feet tall.
Hence I turn to you with my inquiry.
Are there n nice boys? I certain
ly have not found them in church:
There r nice boys, but they flock
by themselves, according to our faulty
American social system.
Why not be friendly with the short
young man who has an automobile, II
he's a good sort? He may be able to
make you acquainted with other young
men. Some girls and young men join
dancing class, or clubs, in order to meet
each other. You might join a country
club or boat club-but that takes mon
ey, .,
1t does seem that it's only the fresh
young things who get acquainted, but
the kind they get acquainted with
wouldn't suit a girl like you, I know.
Perhaps about the only resource left
to a nice girl is to open a boarding
house n feed the brutes." The fact
is, though that many excellent young
men are just as wishful Of knowing
young women as you are Of knowingf
them, but there doesn't seem to be any
way Of bringing the young folk to-
gether.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am keep
ing steady company with q young man
and he treats me just fine. Do you
think he cares for me when he comes
to see me three times a week and calls
me Over the phone every morning?
He says he loves me. How can you
tell If someone loves you?
Lucille.
He seems very devoted. II he really
loves you he will want to marry you
and tell you so. Do not allow him any
privileges unless he loves you as well
as that.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Q)-I am a
young girl of 16 and know quite a few
fellows; there is n I would like to
objects. (0-What is the proper time
for me to be home nights? (3)-I am
about 5 feet 8 inches; am I too tal2
