D.a. ATr~ r>l, an Alntf civ
months ago ] got acquainted with a young
mar three years my senior. without an in
PRODUCTION and through n small Irritation.
He asked to call on me and ] gave him
permission. He called twice and then
mother wrote him requesting him not to
call again, as It was causing trouble he
tween me and a boy friend whom ! had
known before I met this last one. About
three weeks later this last boy left
the city and has sent me several
cards and letters from which I can tell
he is a perfect gentleman in every way.
Should j answer them which would be
against my mothers will" She thinks l
should drop him because We got acquaint-
ed by flirting. Please advise me. ] like
him very much and would like to keep his
friendship. 2 Are my writing and spell
ing very bad? l am just Is.

% If the boy respected YOU he would
manage to find some responsible person
to introduce him to you. Better follow
mothers advice, dear girl. And don't
make a true and tried old friend unhappy
by a new fancy which will wear off in
less time than YOU think. C) Your spell
ing is all right. Your writing is a little
careless.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have been mar
ried three years and my husband is not
as kind as he formerly was. ! was quite
III the other night and he acted real hate
full when ! called upon him for assistance.
When ! reminded him that I had always
been willing to render him my assistance
when he was III, he said. II would not
allow you to do anything for me again
II l was dying" He gave me the custo-
mary kiss before leaving for work the
following morning. When l speak of 60
ing home to mother he tells me l can go
If I want to, but he is not asking me to
do so. He caused me a great deal of cm-
barrassment by refusing to take me to a
place of amusement one night, in the pres
ence of his stenographer, and told me
that if I wanted to go l could go by my
self. Was that right? His stenographer
does not address him as Mr.. but calls
him by his last name. Don't you think
that rather familiar? Every night after
leaving his business he waits for her out
side the store and tells her good night.
Ought he to wait for her? Every time we
quarrel he remains obstinate and If l
cried all night he would not attempt to
pacify me. Kindly advise me.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: IN At times go
with a bunch of girls and al other times
with one girl. The only reason ] know
why this girl will not go with the bunch
of girls is that at a football game they
would not speak to her or ever let on
that they saw her. They said ii was be-
cause she went with a certain girl about
whom there is a great deal of talk. But
there is no talk about this one girl that
i know of. What do you think? (2) Is
it proper for a girl to speak to a boy to
whom she has never had an Introduction
but they have each met each other for
the past year? 80 Are my writing ana
grammar very poor? Everyone tells me

my teachers. Reader.

girl, the other girls who cut her did a
very cruel thing. Can't you talk with
