you have helped so many. When a
girl Is out riding with boy and on
arriving home she does not ask him
to call again. would you think he
would take It az rundown? She
does not wish him to consider it that
way. Ii you think he did what should
she do TO make il up and what would
be proper to say next time? When
girl and boy are at party together
whose place Is it to mention going
home? Do | write we'll?
