a card party some evening and then
have the girls stay all night. We oplv
have one large bedroom, though. and
I wondered if it would be all right 10
ask at least four of them to sleep on
the floor, Please advise me about this
OF course the girls could 20 home
when the boys do. but | thought II
would be fun to have them stay
THANK YOU.
The girls won't mind sleeping on
the floor at all. If you had several
rooms they would probably not have
a good time, It will be fun to be crowd
ed into one room, where you can talk
all night long and no one will be left
ont Of the fun.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ] had a girf
from out OF town visiting me and so
one evening I invited two boys over
to play cards. I have been going with
one of the boys for several weeks and
the other boy was a friend of my girl
friends. She liked my friend much
better than she did hers and she talk
ed to him almost all the evening and
didn't pay any attention to the other
boy and me My boy friend seemed to
like her very much, too She will be
in town for another week and he is
going to call on her. DO you think she
had any right to trysto get my friend
away from me? What shall do?
WORRIED.
Probably you girl friend didn't try
to get your boy friend away from you.
Sometimes people find SO much in COM
mon when they first meet that they
talk and talk, not realizing that sny-
one else is around. When she leaves
town and your boy friend comes to see
you again, as he surely will don't act
as though anything had happened that
you weren't perfectly happy about

TO Stop Speeding.

This reckless driving of automo-
biles has got to be discontinued on
West Main street If nowhere else in
the CITY," said Mr.. N. B. Dial to a rep
resentative Of The Advertiser several
days ago. "It has come to pass up
our way now where it is actually dan
gerous for children or older people to
cross the streets. West Main street
Is being made speedway Of by reck-
less drivers and there is but one way
to bring about change and that Is for
the citizens to interest themselves to
the extent OF reporting violators Of
the speed laws. The police force is
insufficient to watch all Of the streets,
I do not wish to cause any ill-feeling
on the part OF anyone, SO ! am giving
warning. l expect to report and
testify against anyone driving at ex-
cessivc speed whenever see them do
ing So" Mr.. Dial went on further to
say that this would not be spasmodic
campaign of his, but that he expected
to continue his efforts to stop reckless
driving so long as the reckless driv-
ing keeps up,

Mr.. Bookter and Mr.. j. B. Crews, OF

as the head Of the police department
of the city of Columbia, as he said
that he heard that the law was not
being enforced in certain places in
Columbia, and he stated that he did
not care to make the inspection alone
on account Of the fact that some Of
his political enemies might criticize
him unjustly. At his request we ac-
companfed him, with the exception of
Mr.. Crews, who said he had another
engagement No one in the party was
guilty Of any wrongdoing, as the un-

by the pitiful plight of two wayward
girls in the Grccnvillc police court
