trayagant because | spend
$40 a month for groceries.

OF all, then others. | can't
eat the same food day after
day; but like a change in
the menu.
AS ! am kept close at home
with my children ] don't get
a chance to take in all the
sales where | know there is
a saving.
Let's hear from women in
like circumstances who do
better than this, and will
they please send menus to
show how they do?
Remember, my husband is
hard working man and
cannot live on milk.
CUTTING EXPENSES.
Al Will reserve NY opinion
until the readers have given
theirs. Let the letters be short
and to the point.
Dear Miss Grey: What
can one do to a creamery
company that does not give

Dear Miss Grey: have

yising girls as to what to do.
My chum and | are on the
stage. Now, do you think it
is right for us to associate
with people who drink, as we
never drink liquor? Please
advise.
AMY AND BABE.
Al do not think il advisable.
1 speak from experience and OBJ
seIsatiOn,
III you continue on the stage,
work to uplift it. There are many
very fine people i'm that profess
sion who are doing that, and
those who carouse gradually take
back seat, no matter how bril-
liant nor what position they may
have gained.
BE "a credit to your work,
wherever you are.
Dear Miss Grey: We are
three girls of Ia, 15 and 16,
and we like togo to shows,
but in our town all girls I'M
der IS must be in at 8
o'clock. We are afraid to go.
alone and want to know If it
is right to ask boys to take
us or go whenever they ask
us?
Now, Miss Grey, we are
considered the best looking
girls in our town, and all the
boys like us, and it is hard
for us to refuse them. Is it
right to kiss them good
night" after the shows?
Is it proper to play kiss
ing games at parties? We
are invited to lots of parties
and at almost all of them
they play kissing games.
Is it right to dance with
people to whom we haven't
been introduced?
THREE BEAUTIES.
A.-Why not ask some young
lady or older friend to chaperone
you TO the thcater? You are too
young to be running around at
night with boys. The fact that
you ask about kissing them good
night shows that. Ii is certainly
not right.
shouldn't think any right
self-respecting girl would
want to be kissed by every boy
she meets at kissing game party.
1t is by no means the thing
to dance with strangers. Don't
do it, girls. And don't attend
dances at your age without one
of your parents.
Dear Miss Grey: Can you
tell me the meaning of, "Isch

brew for ~ should worry"
