Dear Mrs. Thompson: I'D When
girls OF 13 and Ii go with boys do they
get old quick?
90 How can you pass the evening
with a boy friend at home?
FLOWER OF THE WILD WEST
ID When girls of Is and il go with
boys they find only too often that
when they are old enough TO go with
them the boys turn TO new girls. be-
cause they are tired of the first ones.
Then. besides, a girl ought to spend
at least the first part of her teens IN
acquiring knowledge. If she has her
mind on the boys she cannot make
the best of her education.
(2l Reading is a pleasant and prof
table way TO spend an evening; there
are many books OF short stories which
you would enjoy, for instance, those
by Mary E wilkins, Bret Harte, o.
Henry and william Allen White.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ~ n when
at an entertainment with my sister
boy asks TO accompany me home and
do not wish his company, how should
l refuse?
CD Should a boy when calling on
girl of Is stay later than 9:45?
90 If you have known a boy about
a year and he leaves town, should
you keep up a correspondence with
him? E. l..
% Thank him and tell him that
you and your sister will be going
home together.
(2) 9:45 or 10 is late enough for
boy TO stay when calling upon a girl
of IS, but most boys do not realize
it. One of the girls parents or the
girl herself should suggest that he go
if he stays later
90 II you want to and he has ask
ed you to.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a mar
ried woman with four children. My
age is 25 and my husbands is 40.
He left home the other day because I
left the children with him while I went
TO visit a sick neighbor. He is stay
ing with a friend of mine. Do you
think 1 ought to go after him?
H NJ
No. Let him come to you You
have the law on your side and can
force him to support the children.
Dear Mrs. Thompson; VIII you

please tell ME what ! can do to give
a sweet scent to my house? IONA.
Keep Jars of spiced rose petals. Tn
cover them for about half an hour
now and then, but do not keep the
covers off the jars permanently, be-
cause the petals would lose their frag-
rance. Sweet clover is sometimes
used to scent a house. Bunches Of it
are hung in inconspicuous places such
as behind the sideboard.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: u There
is boy in our school who leases the
girls all the time and often embarasses
us when out in company. What
can we do to make him stop? ~ Is
is proper for this boy to wink at me?
SUE.
a Pay no attention to him. CD
No. Try not to notice him and most
likely he viii stop. Do not let little
things bother you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson; Ny girl
friend went with boy for three years.
and all at once he stopped going TO
see her. Then every time she went
with another fellow he would manage
to talk to her in order to make the
fellow angry. What do you think Of
such a fellow? J. d.
The boy was certainly crude Your
friend had a perfect right TO show by
a frigfd manner that she had no de-
sire to converse with him. Even #
she feared that he would think she
cared because he had ceased to call.
she ought TO have shown him that
their friendship was at an end.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: What can ]
do 10 stop biting my finger nails?

Dip the finger tips into aloes. These
are, of all bitter tasting connections.

has had it on the lips once or twice

FISH FOR LENT.

There is nothing more delicious
than properly prepared fish. 1t is
not only nutritious. but since it con
tains little fat, especially the white
varieties, it is easily digested and is
well adapted to all those whose oc-
equations demand nervous energy.
There is no better fish than sal
mon. 1t has the distinction of being
richer than meat in foodstuffs.
Next in value comes fat halibut
followed by shad. whiteiish, mack
erel, bluefsh, lean halibut, bass,
founder, trout, cod, haddock, cusk,
etc.
Salmon, mackerel and bluefsh are
red-bIOoded fish, and have the oil
distributed throughout the body.
They are nutritious for those with
good digestive organs, but they are
/ too rich for invalids
More easily digested are whitefsh,
/ founder, halibut. cod and haddock,
! because the oil is in the liver
! Oily fish should never be fried.
/ BroiIing and baking are the best
methods of preparing FISH.
! Sailed fish is very fine as a relish,
but the nutritive qualities are lack
ing in it and it should not be de
pended upon for nourishment.
/ Whitefsh should be cooked with
butter or fat to make it desirable
food, because it is so dry.
The flesh of good fresh fish is firm
and hard and if pressed with the
finger it will rise at once. If the
eyes be dull and sunken, the gills
pale and the flesh fiabby or soft. the
fish is not fresh.
After the fish is purchased, clean
its as soon as possible in strongly
sailed water. Wash it (do not soak
it, by wiping it with a cloth that
has been yet in salt water Then
wrap 1t in a cloth sprinkled with
salt and place 1t in a cool place. Put
ice around it, if necessary, but do not
let it touch the ice. as fresh water
and ice will soften IL. When once
it loses the hard, firm consistency it
is considered unfit to eat by those
who know what good fish really is.
To skin a fish cut a thin, narrow
strip down the backbone, taking off
the dorsal fin. Then open the lower
part half way down. Slip the knife
under and up through the bony part
OF the gilis. and hold this bony part
between the thumb and finger and
strip the skin of toward the tail.
Then do the same on the other side.
To bone a fish. clean and strip off
the skin. Lay the fish fat on
board. Begin at the tail and run
the knife in under the flesh close to
the bone, and scrape it away clean
from the bone, holding the flesh care
fully so as not to break the flakes.
When the fish on one side is re-
moved. slip the knife under the bone
on the other side, raise the bone.
leaving the flesh on the board: then
pull out all the small bones left in
the flesh, which you can easily feel
with the fingers. Great care should
