Dear Miss Grey: II the
young ladies and the Wild
ows of today could cook and
economize as they should
you would not find many of
them looking for a man. 1t
Is getting to the place where
ONE man cannot support one
woman, and 1t looks to me as
though law will have to be
passed so that each woman
can have two men to sup
port her.
A young lady who gets
married should have to pass
an examination in house,
Keeping and cooking before
she can get the license. A
school teacher must take an
examination to teach one
term, and the young woman
who marries takes the posi-
tion for life.
A BACHELOR.
Al wish some of you pessi-
mists would get wider trimmed
glasses. You Judge the whole
world by your limited acquaint-
ance. Doughnuts to dimes IL
were to investigate the case 1
would find you have looked for
life companions in places where
right-minded girls would blush to
be seen.
know that girls are not taught
as they should be--neither are
men. But there are more girls
each year taking the domestic
science course i'm our public
schools. so, you can't Judge all
girls by the few you happen to
know.
When you pass that bill for
young women through the legis-
lature, try to get one through for
men, too, will you?
Dear Miss Grey: l am a
girl of 16. Do you think
am too young to go with the
boys? Do you think 1t is
wrong to spoon when a boy
takes you home? We don't
think 80 as we rather enjoy
It.
Is 1t wrong to use a little
paint and powder? Do you
think II wrong to stay out
until 3 O'Clock in the morn
ing when you go to a party?
My mother does not object.
/ would like your. advice on
these subjects.
SMOKY OOKUMS.
A.-God pity a girl with a
mother like yours, and God pity
the girl. do not like to say
that; but such mother are too ir-
responsible to have daughters.
Daughters of such mothers must
learn for themselves, and, oh,
how 1 wish might help them to
learn without lessons that seem
too hard.
do not like spooning because
the boys who spoon with you do
not respect you, and because IL
YOU refused to spoon they would
drop you, showing THAT to be
the reason they buy you theater
tickets, supper, etc. l can't see
how girls can sell their kisses so
cheap.
1 do not like paint and powder
because you should be radiantIy
rejecting life and life-giving
qualities. II you did not keep
late hours, and have your mind
always on the key for the atten-
ton of boys who are wasting their
time, too; II you lived as much in
the open; If you were sweet tenn
pered, instead of cross from not
enough sleep, the warm red blood
would course through your sys-
tenn and paint your cheeks more
beautiful color than can be
bought.
Your signature to the letter
shows how you have filled your
mind with silly and suggestive
things.
1t is time to STOP It for your
self. Get some OF Van Dykes
books and read the beautiful
thoughts of the wood things he
pictures so realistically, until a
taste is cultivated for the natural
beauty In the life all around you.
Dear Miss Grey: | am a
constant reader Of your let
tiers and want your advice,
for 1t has always proved true.
A girl lives next door to
us. and she is stuck up be-
cause she has more stylish
clothes than l do. Mine are
plain; but | always keep
them clean and neat.
Every time l have girl
friend come to see me I ask
her over, and get them ac-
quainted. Then, my friend
begins to act queer, and
doesn't speak to me any
more.
