weakness in number OF boys in
these schools.
All debates are to be on neu

The question is AS follows:

Sister Goes With Lovers

Dear Miss Libbey:
 am a girl of eighteen, going with 8, young man two yeaTs; think he is all right. He has a sister younger than he is She hasn't 3. fellow, so she goes along with her brother.@ If. he calls Sunday evenings she comes along. If meet him in town, she happens to be with him. and if he asks me to go with him she goes right along, too. Do you think this is a proper way for @her to do? have been working weekly for some time. Do you think it disgrace? When you go to a dance do you dance be- fore supper and the last dance with the one you went with? How long should a boy and. girl go together till he gives her an engagement ring, if they both like each other? How long should they be engaged before they marry? If not engaged to the fellow you go with, is it proper for the girl to go, with another while he is out Of town? Many thanks for your advice. :
 E l.. If his sister accoTnpanies her broth CT and you, she is showing no disre- spect but. that she favors you for her brothers choice. A sensible girl would be pleased to invite her along. She would tire before long of being the third party, knowing he has found a girl of sweet disposition and friendIi- ness. It no disgrace. but an. honor. for a girl to work, all know. At a dance you very often dance before and invariably after supper with your partner. How long a boy and glrt should keep company is entirely too young an age for any one except their parents or guardians to con- elude. Engagement rings are be- slowed by older young men. If not engaged, provided you can do better. there is no reason why you should not go with others during his absence
