Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
chums, Is and Is years of age.
IL Are we too young to have boy
friends?
CD Here awhile back one of us was
out walking with boy who my chum
likes very much, and so she wanted to
see if he liked her very well. A few
nights after that he was out of town
and she was with another boy At
this he got mad and would not speak
to her and she dropped him little
note and asked him to forgive her
He wrote back and told her that he
would be a friend to her if she would
never go with this one boy any more.
Do you think he ought to have got
mad, and did she do right by going
with this other boy?
CD Should boy wear a girls ring,
and should a girl wear a boys ring?
Why?
(4) Is it wrong for a boy to take
hold of a girls arm when out walking?
(5) What side of the street should
a boy walk on?
60 How late should we stay out at
hi5hto- OhS IlSAL was OuL uIllI IL
Cd Should a girl accept a picture
from her boy friend?
(S) How can you keep your finger
nails and hands white?
(9) We are going to get up social
club. What would be a nice name for
it?
RUBEN AND TUBY.
ID Not toe young to have boy
friends, but too young to go out in boy
company.
(2) Nothing can be worse than for
children of Is and Is to pair off and
get silly notions in their heads If
only boys and girls would be sensible
and go in punches" a jolly crowd
meeting at the different homes, with
the mothers to chaperoGe them. 1t is
perfect nonsense to talk of one boy
getting mad because a girl spoke or
walked with another boy. Why
shouldn't she, ana what reason had
she to ask his forgiveness when he
had been too rude to speak? Put
such Stiffness out of your heads. You
can never grow up sane, sensible wo-
men if all your early teens are spent
thinking of nothing but boys.
CD A girl should wear no ring be-
longing to a boy until he gives her an
engagement ring.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-10-21

(4) 1t is very customary and there
is no harm in it.
90 The girl should walk on the in
side of the walk.
Co Girls should not be out alone
or with boys in the evening at all at
your age. Girls who stay out till
such late hours will very soon cease
to be respected Do not do it, my
dears. You are young. Be advised by
one who knows what she is talking
about
CD If you are very good friends
there is no harm in exchanging pic
lures, but I should not make it a
common thing TO give my picture to
boys.
90 Lemon and glycerine rubbed on
the hands before going to bed will
whiten them. Draw on an old pair of
kid gloves to sleep in. 1t softens the
hands.
90 The Jolly Good Time club or
The Good Comrade club would be good
names.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ID Please
give me particular for serving but.

CD How should I write Halloween
invitations?
CD Will velvet corduroy suits be in
style this winter?
ca What is the latest style OF hair
dressing for girl of 10?
MISS ZIPP COON.
ID Buffet Supper for Hallowe' en-
Gingerbread, apples, pumpkin pie and
cider would be appropriate. Make II
very informal. Use paper napkins dec
GRATED with Halloween designs. Toast
inging apples and marshmallows,
roasting nuts and popping corn add
greatly to the pleasure.
90 On Halloween at eight o'clock,
Thrice, please, upon the portal knock;
The door will ope and you shall see
The awful shapes of things to be.
60 Yes.
(4) At present the French twist
finds most favor, though any becom'
ing style is worn.
