In the school which I attend there
are several professors who are elderly
Zen. They deserve all the respect one
can show them, but do you consider
it good taste for girl to rise when
talking to them as a mark of respect?
OF course l do not mean while in
school, but in society?
T.MP.
It is proper for a young girl to rise
when she is talking with an elderly
man, particularly when his profession
commands Difference. as in the case
of your professors. If he is seated. she
of course may be seated also, II con-
yersing with him.
/ wish our dear girls would be more
careful. in observing these fine points
of etiquette. A young girl should a.
ways rise in greeting a man or woman
considerably older than herself and
remain standing until the older person
is seated.
Boys should also observe this mat
ter of showing respect to their elders
and to all women, young and old.
Dear Mrs Thompson: A boy friend
of mine became angry with me some
time ago, and do not know his reason
for being angry. Can you suggest
way in which 1 could find out?
We both go to high school, but we
are not together in any of our classes.
Would it be wrong to write him let
ter or note and ask his reason?
accepted many invitations from my
other boy friends during our friend
ship. Do you think this made him an
cry? l see no reason why it should.
as I only accepted him as friend
and am free to speak or go with any
ons l wish. Am I not?
D. c. G.
Sometime when you see him you
night ask him what's wrong. He may
simply be one of the grouchy sort who
magines all sorts of things. You ara
perfectly free to go with other boys
f he doesn't like it he has no right to
make you suffer for his feelings.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are Two
girls, 16 and IS years old.
CD Will you please tell us II 1t Is
improper for a young lady and her
young man to sit in a room with the
light turned down a little, so 1t isn't so
bright? Do you think my young man
will disrespect me for doing SO, or 10
stand on the porch and let him talk to
me when we come home after dance!
(2) When a young lady has to work
evenings until IL o'clock and her gen.
tieman friend walks home with her,
is it proper for her to let him visit
with her a while when you have no
other chance to be with him?
go I have boy friends who treats
me very nicely, takes me to dances
and shows. 1 like him very much and
his friends tell me he likes me. But
he has never asked to keep my steady
company. Has he right to get angry
when go with other young men or let
them spend an evening with me?
(4) At an evening party of just your
own crowd of boys and girls who al
ways chum together, is it improper for
us to play kissing games just for
LEONA AND MAGGIE.
% If the light is not turned down
very low, it won't hurt Sometimes
it is nicer to talk without glazing
lights. Also, there is no harm in talk
ing on the porch a while, though 1t
isn't we'll to encourage him to do this
late at night. You both need good
sleep, and you might be disturbing |
somebody else Tell him that.
CD / can't imagine what work will
keep a young girl out as late as IL |
o'clock. However, there is nothing |
wrong in a respectable young man
walking home with her and visiting |
with her in her home, provided that
at least one of her family will stay up
while he is there.
60 He has no right to dictate to
you.
"a Better not, my dears. You are
getting to be young ladies, and even
IN fun it's not best to play with fire.
Besides, kissing games spread disease,
md 1 should never allow even very
small children to play them.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is a
little matter of etiquette which both
ers me and would appreciate your as
sistance very much.

the native fruits of the United States
are out of season here, they are in

Last year the United States i'm

figs. olives, etc. Apricots, peaches,
pears, plums, cherries and the many

Bed Time Tales
By Clara Ingram Judson
WaUe MESSAGES
By Clara Ingram Judson.

a nee upon tune the fairies who
lived on the waves out in the big
lake wished they could send a
message to the shore.
OF course, they didn't know much
about the land, for they had always
Hven on the water, but often they
would float in very close to the shore
and they could catch glimpses of golden
sand and trees and flowers and they
thought 1t was all very beautiful
If only they could stop and see it
better
But always. just when they were near
the beach, the waves behind would
chase them helter-skelter in a mass of
foam Till they were glad to duck down
under the foam and slip back into the
deep water.
One day, after they had tried so
hard to reach the shore, they went
back into the lake and hoated around
on the top of the waves.
We almost got to shore then, didn't
we, said one fairy, as she flirted the
water out of her eyes.
Yes, / got close enough to put my
feet on the sandy bottom, but Just as
i was about to run up the beach a big
wave tumbled over me with a splash
and here | am in deep water again"
Couldn't we try some more?" asked
the tiniest fairy of all.
Yes, we can and we will" said the
big fairy sturdily. Il mean to try every
day till l get on the land"
oh, I'll tell you what TO do" said
the Queen fairy. Let's send the beach
a message and say we couldn't come to-
day. but well be there tomorrow"
Eyes, that would be fine" said the
biggest fairy. but how can we write
a letter! We have nothing to write
with out here in the water"
"Oh. but we have" exclaimed the
Queen. I'VE have sand. We will
-rite our message with grains of sand"
