girl who has been paved over by
every other man she konws, and 1
think I'd rather know / was worthy of
such a man. even though it made an
old maid of me, than to lose the
whiteness of my womanhood just to be
popular and have good times.
Moreover, do you think that the man
who loves you only because you are
popular with other men, will stick
after marriage? He'll probably leave
you sitting alone at home while he
goes off after some other girl who is
spoony and popular with the fellows
1 know that a great many young
men prefer the spoony girls and that
girls spoon with them in order to ap-
pear popular. But the girl who does 1t
is cheap, and when she marries she
Will be held cheap by her husband
unless he is conceited enough and she

: that she never spooned with anybody
else but him.
You must let your own judgment
decide whether you want q husband
through such means. or whether you
will be se1f-respecting woman look
ing for something bigger and finer
than parties and theatres and the at
tentions of silly fellows who don't
make good husbands.
I Dear Mrs. Thompson: (i) Can a
boy Of is marry a girl o! 19 in Illinois
without their parents consent? (2J
Must there always be two witnesses
at a marriage? (3) How is the law
l ~ ~
CONSTANT READER.
i III A boy must be 21 before he can
marry without his parents consent.
(2) Yes. (3) Same as Illinois.
The law is wise in this matter of
ages. A boy of IS is not fit for mar
riage and doesn't really know what
love and a husbands responsibilities
are, no matter how much he thinks he
does.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: IL Please
tell me how to word a wedding in
vitation when widow is the bride
to-be. (2) Please give me a harm
less face bleach. Is lemon good?

Of course. CD Lemon is good; also
butter milk.
Dear Mrs Thompson: Ny neck,
shoulders, bust and hips are so thin. I
am young woman and have no bust
at all. l have tried everything that
seemed sensible and harmless and
! nothing has done me BIT of good. 1t
certainly is unnatural and there must
be some remedy. 1 am taking olive
; OF, and grape juice twice a day. Will
that help me to gain flesh? 1 am 10
pounds underweight. L.
When our mothers scrubbed floors,
they had beautiful neck, shoulders
and bust
We are too heightened to scrub
floors these days, but we might go
through the motions on our knees, first
opening the windows and learning to
breathe deep through the nose, not the
mouth. Rowing is an excellent exer-
else for this, too. though Of course
one can't very well row boat In win
ter time. All outdoor exercise. which
means deep breathing, win be bene-
fetal.
Perhaps you sew or read a great
deal, or sit at your work. Make UP
your mind that you must hold your
chin high, must breathe clear down
in the bottom Of your lungs, must sit
straight, must occasionally stand up
and stretch yourself, and must swing
your arms when you walk.
The olive oil and grape Juice do no
Il HARM but good healthy appetite that
will consume plenty Of nourishing food
will be aetter.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girls Of % and go around quite a BIT
and have good times. We seem to be
very popular, but Il seems we never
can get a fellow. Other girls who go
around with US occasionally have
steady fellows and they don't seem to
be as popular CT as Jolly as we are.
