WORSE THAN FOLLY

Dear Miss Grey: We are
two young girls of sixteen,
and both are very much in
love with two boys twenty
years our senior.
We have decided to get
married, although without
our parents consent and
also to have a double we'd
ding. To elope We mean.
Now Miss Grey, do you
think us foolish, as we look
20 years old. Do you think
this Is wise for us TO do?
BRIDES TO BE.
A.-You are very foolish tt
think of such a thing. Men Of
SO are too old for you, and If you
made mistake and mean they
are 20 years of age, they and you
are far too young. You have nc
idea of the trouble you are jump

DOES THE LADY GIVE
THE RING?

Dear Miss Grey: Does
the lady give the man the
engagement ring? III so,
when should she present it
to him?
How should she thank
him for the ring when he
gives il to her, or what
should she say? Also, does
the lady give him the we'd
ding ring, and should she
give him il Mt the ceremony?
INEXPEItIENCE.
An America 1t is not Gu
tomary for a lady to give maj
an engagement or wedding ring
That is the mans privilege.
1t is not necessary to thani
him for the engagement ring, but
to fittingly show appreciation o

Dear Miss Grey: We have
been reading your letters
and answers in the paper
and thought you might help
us.
We are two girls of IA
and 10. DO you think MS
too young to go with the
boys? And is it proper to
let the boys kiss us? We
went ont with two boy
friends the other day and be-
cause we would not allow
them to kiss us, il made one
of them mad and he will not
speak to us. DO you think
it right and should we try
to regain his friendship?
Please advise us.

and make them think you are

tainly have if you have been
reading my columns.
If you will listen to your own
innate sense of right, you will
know what to do. A girl must
want a beau pretty badly if she
will allow him such liberties in
order to hold him. Be little girls
a while longer, let the boys alone
except as playmates, and don't
allow any boy or man to be ia
miliar, unless you want to lay
up trouble instead of happiness
for the future.
