few days, you could have taken n
least q part of the soil from IL. ]
can only advise you to take 1t out
OF the dress, launder and tack In
again.
Dear Miss Grey: I am q
girl of 16 years of age. and
come to you for advice. I
am a country girl and live
on a farm. l am in love with
a gentleman. He goes out
working, and / don't see him
for quite awhile. and 1 get
SO lonesome.
l have brown hair. How
should l comb 1t, and how
long should / wear my
dresses? How do you write
love letters? What is love?
What must a girl say when
she meets her lover? Miss
Grey. don't think l am silly,
for I am not.
A LONELY GIRL.
Al Judge your experience Is
limited, and that of the gentle.
man, who goes out to work, is
not. He may be the very best
man I'm the world, but putting
that aside, a girl who does not
know what love is and still claims
to be i'm love, who does not know
what to say when she meets the
man she thinks she loves, who
does not know how to write to
him, is not ready for love.
Take my advice, and don't get
lonely because a certain man hap
pens to have disappeared from
your horizon for awhile. Don't
be dependent on another man, or
woman, for your happiness. Make
1t yourself. Get interested in
the study of insects, of which
many interesting ones can be
found on the farm; start q little
business of your own, raising
chickens, or celery, or small
fruits, OF frogs (there's a good
market for the legs), or put up
fruits and berries, and sell; in
fact, anything that is profitable,
not only in dollars and cents, but
in experience, to you, and leave
this game Of love until you are
old enough to know the rules. and
wise enough to detect the coun-
terfeit.
You did not tell me your
height, SO I cannot tell you how
long to wear your dresses. Prac-
tice arranging your hair i'm differ
ent ways, and adopt the most be-
coming.
Don't try to write love letters.
Never write anything you would
not be willing to have published
in the papers.
Dear Miss Grey: l have
been reading your answers
every evening, and want your
advice. I am 18, and have
been going with a young
man of 81. He has always
treated me with respect,
but my parents have heard
several things about him
that are not very nice, and
have forbidden me to go with
him. But, as l have always
liked him, and as he has
always been good to me, II
nearly breaks my heart.
VIII you please tell me
whether to give him up to
please my parents, or go with
him until he proves himself
one way or the other?
MIGNON.
A.-Your parents are unjust to
the young man in not giving him
q chance to defend himself. One
can never rely on gossip, and
they should get at the source OF
their information and ask the in
to face the young man
and give him q chance to clear
himself IL innocent.
Parents cannot be too careful
OF the young men with whom
their daughters associate, and
marry; but II you will go to your
father and mother, and tell them
you want to please them, but
think they should be certain. /
believe they will be just to him,
Very few men or women have
been perfect throughout their
earthly existence and the young
man may be very sorry, and try
ing to redeem the past. Ask your
father 70 Mt least have . talk with
him.
Dear Miss Grey: I mar
rfed at II on kid love. I
am now 28. Owing to the
overbearing disposition Of my
husband. love was soon
frozen. / lived with him nine
years, then divorced him for
cruelty. I have two chill
dren and am q good house,
keeper.
I have been keeping COM
pany a year with q man I
have known ten years, and
have learned to love him
with the real kind Of love.
I know he loves me and my
children. and they love him.
He Is 80 years older than 1,
and on this account I hest
