ing business. After you have obtained
foothold, your work will advertise
itself, and your regular customers will
bring new ones.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have been
married a year, and like to call my
husband by phone at the Office where
he works once a day He likes to
have me do it, but says his chief OBJ
jects on account of the calls coming
at busy times. He says l may en-
danger his position if | keep on call
ing him. l am very much put out by
this, and think my husband ought not
work in place where I cannot phone
him when please. What is your opin-
ion? LILY.
In this workaday world the wishes
Of young wives are often considered
of slight importance. Why not have
your husband call you at some time
when he can do so without trespass-
ing on his employers time? By no
means should you insist upon, or even
think of your husbands giving up his
position on account of the telephone
rule. The probabilities are that his
next employer would take the same
stand.

Dear Mrs Thompson: | want TO
marry a girl, but my mother doesn't
like her, saying she wouldn't make
good wife and housekeeper On the
other hand, the girls family leans on
her a great deal, and she seems to
have a great deal to do with making
their home life pleasant. She is kind
TO her mother, and is good to her
younger brothers and sisters. How
does it look to you? WILLIAM G.
If what you say Of the girls home
life is true, it is quite possible that
your mother is mistaken. Fond
mothers have a way of thinking that
their sons are too good for the girls
they like, when the reverse is often
true.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am girl
II years old. Do you think am too
young to go to matinees with no one
older than another girl my age?
A. S. K.
Yes, I think you are too young to
go TO the theatre unless in company
with an older person.
-
Dear Mrs. Thompson: want to do
some plain sewing at home so that I
can make my sewing machine help
earn me some money. How can GO
about il 10 get some work to do?
MRS. BROWN.
The best plan is to breach your
proposition frankly 70 women who
may have sewing TO do You might
also ask your friends to spread the
word in your behalf. A want ad in
