elucdate just little bit? j. NJ. Il.
I think you have understood my use of
the word vulgar to mean something coarse
or uncouth. That was not the idea l In
tended to convey. 1t is vulgarity of the
ordinary and only ordinary persons use
these phrases.
1t must be understood that my answers
have to deal with what is considered good
form in this present time, and that GUS
toms change almost from year to year
There may be perfect propriety to re-
fer to person as n girl friend or a boy
friend, but 1t Is not in good form. 1t is in
better taste to speak of "a girl l know or
"a man know" than to use the expression
girl friend" or boy friend" Remember
there is no improperly in the expressions
lady friend" or keeping company" but
they are simply bad form and used by an
ordinary or vulgar class of people.
hope this explanation makes the matter
clearer o you.

Origin of Quotations

who first said that something was a
weak invention of the enemy? Who in
vented the phrase her dearest foe? Did
anybody in his senses ever declare that
the man who has no enemies doesn't de-
serve to have a friend? Don't think that
l am inclined to ponder the fact that one
must have enemies. These quotations fol-
low one another in my mind, one suggest

Each of us knows the annoyance of

phrase or rhyme. I will help you to the

II appears in his play of Richard Third"

to the quotation that "bothers you" Do

CASTOR OIL FAR FROM MOST

umn of the paper first. / think it's just
swell. Now 1 would like to have you help
me in matter which means much to me,
as my future happiness and prospects de-
pend upon it.
am engaged to a girl about my own
age and love ner dearly Every night go
TO see her l bring her box of good candy
and present her with II as soon as l meet
her. Now my lady friend always thanks
me for the candy but puts it away, Is
this right? l think that when fellow
spends a lot of money bringing a girl
candy and showing her a good time she
ought to at least offer him a piece of candy
once in while when he brings 1t.
l have talked this over with other fel
lows and girls in our gang and they all
say that they think my lady friend is
not treating me good. What do you think
of It? Please tell me your thought soon,
as it means lot to my happiness. Yours
truly, A. r.
Perhaps your fiancee does not realize
that you like candy, or she may be labor
ing under an Impression that it Is not
proper to open presents before the giver
Chat is an old-time custom which does not
hold now) Why not say, Are you not
going to give me some of the candy?" and
then see what she says. l cannot think
she would deliberately be as selfish as 1t
seems. 1t may be that she acts from self
consciousness or shyness / think II would
rather be better to say something 10 her
rather than discuss the matter with other
friends. The term lady friend" is not
good form.

When Ironing Linens

When you are ironing round doilies
or luncheon cloths, place piece OF heavy
flannel or a bath towel on the board; then
lay the linen so that the threads are par
allel and at right angles to the board
If placed in this way the iron will
naturally move in the way the threads of
the linen are woven. thus saving a con
siderable amount of wear and tear on
your fine linens. Embroidered pieces
should always be ironed on the wrong
side of the goods.

A Puzzling Question

Dear Deborah Rush - Please settle a

nings a week, but think that is too much.
1 think that three or four evenings a week
is plenty, and it gives us time for other
things. Am afraid it does no good to
see so much of each other He thinks
I am wrong. Please let me know what
you think as soon as possible, as we have
had words about this. MARY ANN.
The opinion OF an outsider on these
questions is of course, impartial, but may
not be the right one for the case 1t is
true that long engagements are rather
wearing on both parties and 1t might be
better to skip an evening call now and
again. On the other hand. II you are both
sincerely in love you will want to be to-
gether as often as possible. / think your
fears are groundless, provided you always
treat each other with respect and pro-
priety. Another question is, Just what
do you mean by keeping company? Are
you engaged to be married2 That is
