My husband is an American and We
have a little girl 5 years old. Now
his brother insists upon calling my
little girl nicknames on account of
my nationality and his father SAYS
things 10 me before strangers. He
seems to think it smart. Now Mrs.
Thompson, ] can stand them calling
me nicknames, but the little girl Will
soon be going to school and those
names viii always cling to her, es-
pecially in a country school where we
have so many young teachers and
children of all ages. I have no one
to go to. having no mother, so please
be so kind as to give me some advice.
MRS. n.
As long IS you and the little girl
show that you are leased by the nick
names people will continue to use
them. Be sports and let them call
you by them until they are tired Of
it without showing that you care. In
difference to what they say is the only
thing that will cure them.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Out of po-

home from a party She seemed TO
take it for granted that I would con-

very popular fellow, and she has told
all my young lady friends that I am
in love with her, but such is not the
case. / am made miserable by her
attentions to me. How may I avoid
them without being rude?
JACK G,
Be kind and gentlemanly to the
girl as long as you can. If it is pos
sible have one of your girl friends
talk TO her and try to make her see
that you do not care for her.
