Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
Of 20 and have been keeping company
with a gentleman W years my senior,
for seven months. He has always been
very kind md gentle toward me, but
one night when we returned from q
show he asked me for a kiss. When
I refused he said he would not call
again until l wrote him that ! would
be satisfied to kiss him every time he
left; also he said that / do not are
for him. Please advise me. 1 like
him very much, but / think IL would
be very unmanerly for me TO do 1t,
since we are not engaged.
II the man really loves you he will
not wait for you to write him any
kind of a letter. He win come and
ask to be friends without demanding
more than any se~lf-respecting girl
should give to a man to whom she is
not engaged.
You did quite right, my dear, and
If he doesn't prove the right sort,
just forget him.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I had a little
quarrel with my lady friend about six
weeks ago.. / have not seen her since.
Her mother visited my aunt last week
and said that If we ever go together
again I will have to be the first one
to speak to her daughter. Do you
think that would be right2 After the
quarrel I came to see her on q
Wednesday night, as I always did.
and she was not at home. I asked her
mother where she vas and she
answered roughly: "Over to her
aunt's house" I left and did not go
near the house again. j. ]. X.
II you care very much for the girl,
write her a note and ask her IL she
won't be friends with you again. Girls
sometimes do what they are sorry for
afterwards, and it is not unmanly to
overlook some things, especially when
two people are really fond >of each
other.

Is very unkind to our child, who has
q slight infrmity. She is sensitive and
the brow-beating frightens her 80 she
hardly knows what Is said or what she
Is to do. / var to raise her well, but
I do not think she is in the right at
mosphere and I canno afford to send
her to boarding school. Talking to
him does nc good. Mrs. i.
Have you tried to keep the child out

plain to her that h mustn't be fright
ened at her father because he doesn't
realize what he is doing. and try to
make up for his treatment by your love
and companionshtp with the little one.
Perhaps you can arrange with OF
your neighbors to keep the child with
her part Of the time while the father IL

II he goes too far in his abuse, take
the matter before the Juvenile court in
