Dear Annie Laurie: am not

with q young fellow whom I like
very much. I can't tell yet whether
he likes me or not He acts as
though he did. taking me to shows.
and he has also asked mo to 90 to
church with him. Should 60?
Is 1t right to stand on tho front
porch for a few minutes after COM
me to kiss him-I did once. Is 1t
right or should I refuse?
Please tell me how to get rid Of
bashfulness. Every time anyone
speaks to me my face gets red and
burns like fire. GRAY EYES.
Well. Gray Eyes. II it is all right
for you to go to the show with the
young man. why shouldn't you so to
church with him? As for standing
out on the front porch and talking
for few minutes after coming home.
don't think I would do 1t II were
you. Why. should you kiss the man
Just bec0use he asks you: No
really nice girl kisses any man until
him. You know that just as we'll as
I do. DO you ask 1t because you
want some sympathetic authority on
whom to cast the blame?
The best way I know to overcome
bashfuiness Is to make UP your mind
that you are not so important that
everyone watches you wherever you
20. The less you think OF yourself
the more your friends are going to
thinkk OF you. Just be your natural,
quiet self. and IL you find CONVERSE

subjects, read the papers more and

"HE argument of 80 many girls
when asked why they do not

that it Is too small an organ

The only way to ever make the

organization equally as broad as the
Y. NJ. c. A. Is by belonging to It.
If every girl and woman in WASH
