Sometimes an engaged couple ex-

but not generally INDUCED i'm I'm this
country.
An engagement ring is just a pref
ty token of love. entirely voluntary on
the part OF the man. Some girls do
not care for a ring. and prefer some
other gift. Possibly your young ma
has not thought OF it yet, and per-
haps he cannot afford to- get you as
nice a gift now as he would like.

as those other girls who lave rings

Dear Mrs. Thompson: First l want
to say that | ann Il decent. respectable
man. earn a good salary and have
no bad habits and nobody can say a
word against my character. do not
think any good, respectable girl would
need to be ashamed to Introduce me
to her family and be seen i'm my COM
pany.
Well, here is the trouble that needs
| your advice.
Some time ago ] met Il young lady
who attracted me very much. She
is employed near the office where I
! work. :
I nave often since met the young
lady. but every time l asked to call
at her home she had some excuse for
my not calling. Since we have be
come better acquainted. and l pressed
her for a good reason why she did
! not want me to call. she said she did
not want her mother to know amy
thing about me. That stumped me, I
tell you.
Now what do YOU suppose is wrong?
l am sure she is a good girl, and l
am pretty nue. in love with her. If
she is all right, ! want to marry her.
But doesn't it look queer that she
doesn't van her mother to know any
thing about me and doesn't want me
to visit her at home?
If ] We're you and l was sure the
young lady was good and lovahle, 1
WOIlO lFuSV her.
The girl pribably has a very good
reason which you would respect. if you
knew it. Her home ma be very poor.
or her mother very unpleasant. Some
mothers. you know. will not permit
their daughters to have masculine o m
pany, especially if the daughter is earn
ing a salary which She contributes to
the home II which would be stopped
if the daughter married.
Get we'll enough acquainted with the
| girl to ask her what the real trouble
is. Find out who her friends and rela-
acter. and if you are satisfied from
what she does that she is worth a
good mans love. tell her you love her
and want her for your wife.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-How should L
treat my pals girl friend who likes to
Shoot it into me- about other girls ] go
| with. yet when ! resent it by shooting it
back" she gets sole-generally for the rest
of the evening? I believe she is just as
tickle as l am and the other girls are OF
good character. 1 go with her chum a
good deal. consequently we are together
quite a bit. Jack Tickle.
She'll stop it il you just laugh at her
and change the conversation or wander
off to talk to somebody else each time.
1t never pays TO talk back to- a girl.

coming? () Is anyone who throws in
sulting remarks a true friend? Should j
ignore them or treat her the same way?
a. 1 think il outrageous for young girls
and boys to hang OUT around nickel
shows. Am 1 right? 6) Is 1t ladylike for
girls to use expressions such as You get
my goat etc.h (6) l have many sensible
boy friends but wouldn't think of keeping
steady company. Is this an old-maidish
attitude? % Please give me a recipe for
cheese straws. G) l have lately met two
boys VINO display no manners whatever in
