Dear Mrs. Thompson: % Can your
parents keep you at home when you
are of age? I'm a girl of Is and can
not get along with my mother or my
brothers. Please advise me what TO
do.
(2) never cared for men, but met
one about a month ago, few years
older than / am, that / would ike 10
go with. But my friend won't let me
go anywhere near him. He is nice
man. Could you please tell me how
could get to go with him?
g l don't care to so to parties or
dances and my friends don't like to go
with me because don't like to go with
boys they like Could you please give
me little advice? LONESOME.
% You are not legally of age to
make contracts for yourself, except to
marry, until you are 81 years old, If
your parents support you properly they
can legally compel you to stay with
them. However, perhaps it would be
"a great help to your parents if you
would get some work outside Of home
Ito support yourself. You would then
be away from home most of the time
and there would not be SO much
chance for disagreements. You will
mot find things as lovely as you i'm
agine away from home. A girl alone
has a hard time.
~ If the young man cares anything
for you he will manage to get better
acquainted with you. Ask him casual
ly to come up to your house some even
ing and if he does make it so pleasant
for him that he'll want to see more of
you. If he doesn't come, don't ask him
again, but be pleasant When you do
see him.
S) l am glad you will not go with
any but respectable boys, my dear, and
that you prefer to go with none rather
than take up the wrong kind. Parties
and dances of the right sort are all
right and if you are invited to them,
better go and be agreeable. Select the |
friends you want and be a good friend |
to them. Don't be too critical of 9TH |
ers, my dear.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: a. I care
great deal for a certain boy here and |
I'm sure he cares for me. The only |
objection 1 have is that he thinks he
