Dear Miss Grey: Can you
please help me? am "a
years old and living with my
folks. My father and broth
ers are working in the tim
Der for a man who Is beating
them out of nearly all they
make. This man says IL /
will be good to him and ride
in his auto he will be
straight with my folks. Now.
Miss Grey, l do not like him
and am afraid of him.
He came to the house one
day when | was alone and
grabbed me and kissed me.
When he comes l hide. He
asks for me, and gets mad
when won't see him.
Then he does something
to hurt my father. Shall
treat him nice to save q
my dad, as dad cannot get
other work? DOLLY.
A.-Don't do anything foolish
to save your dad. Have nothing
to do with your fathers employ
er. 1t is not necessary for girl
to sacrifice herself for. what she
considers anOther's good, and 1
am sure your father will not want
1t. Don't be afraid of the man,
hut send me his name IL he con-
tinues to annoy you.
/ wish you would tell your
father. There seems to me no
use in working for a man who
Cheats his employees out of their
rights.
Now, mind what l say about
not riding or having anything to
do with the man.
Dear Miss Grey: I have
profited by your good advice
before so come again. I had
letter from a stranger in
a far off land few days ago.
He mentions the name of
friend of mine, and gives me
to understand that he gave
him my address.
He writes a very nice let
ter and wants to correspond
with me. He is where there
are not many white girls and
gets lonesome for news from i
the home land. Do you think \
I should answer, Miss Grey? :,
l am only 10, and an orphan, Il
and I don't want to do any, n
thing wrong il I can help 1t.
THANH you. SUNSHINE. \
Alt doesn't seem TO me quite
the thing for your friend to havell
given your address to a stranger
without your consent. And 1t
seems that IL the stranger was
just anxious for news he might !
write to his acquaintance in this
The mere correspon-
dence is no harm, IL you are wise
to see what kind of man
he is; but first discover whether
or not your friend really gave him
your address. If you can depend
on your friend, and he vouches
for him it puts another light on
the matter; but even then, re.
strict your letter on both sides to
a friendly tone.
You must decide for yourself,
and be wise enough IL you do con.
sent to correspond, to drop the
matter at the first signal that does
not come uD to your standard Of
what is right.
Dear Miss Grey: am 22
years old. When l was
kid l used to dream almost
every night. Then, did not
think it harmful. Now, I'M
derstand when I dream my
mind continues to WORK. I
think there is something
wrong with a dreaming per-
son, and would like a reme-
dy. Please answer. Thank
ing you Kindly,
DREAMER.
A.-PsychOIOgist from time me-
mortal have tried to get at the
cause of dreams, and have dis
agreed, so il is no wonder you and
1 do. My personal experience
with dreams has been interest
ingly varied, and I have found
that the less attention 1 pay them
the fewer / have. There Is NO
doubt that the more fully we live
in harmony the quieter will be
our sleep; but do not agree that
there is something dreadfulIy
wrong with persons who dream,
except that we are all living q
moro or less Unnatural life. A.
for the brain working 1 do not
think 1t will be harmed by tlsn
little exercise IL gets during
sleep, for we all know that one
can dream a whole story within
