Dear Mrs. Thompson: % We are
two boys, 16 and IS. Do you think it
proper for us to take girls home after
parties and entertainments at night?
(2) Is it all right for us to go out
walking with the girls at night, or
Sunday afternoons?
90 How late should a boy stay
out with girl?
(4) When boy wishes to take a
girl home what should he say to her?
90 Do you think it proper for boys
and girls to play kissing games at
parties?
READER AND HIS FRIEND.
% Boys of your age ought not
spend much time with girls. You are
too young. 1t would be all right to
take them home from parties and en-
tertainments once in a while.
60 1t is all right for boys of Is to
go walking with girls, but when they
are not even that old they should not.
90 Until 10 or 1890.
"a May l take you homer"
(5) l do not consider it proper for
boys and girls to play kissing games.
They are played by young people with
taste for the cheapest kind OF
amusement.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have golden
hair and my chum has red hair. What
color dresses would become us?
GRACE AND GOLD1E.
A light haired girl can usually wear
pink, blue, green, brown and grey. A
red haired girl finds it difficult to find
colors becoming to her. She can wear
brown very we'll and dark brownish
green; of the light shades blue and
yellow are the best.
Dear Mrs Thompson: After going
to dance with one young man, is it
rude to give another man the first
dance? HELEN.
Yes, it is rude.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am fresh
man and am considered quite pretty
by the boys at high school. l go with
one Of the senior boys who seems
quite friendly, but will not come to
my home. The other day he asked il
he could come out, and told him my
address. He said he guessed he
wouldn't come because it was too far.
In a care-free manner l told him, "Oh,
all right, the other boys don't think
So" This seemed to make him angry.
Did I do right? Should I waste my
time on him? How can / best make
him like me? SWEET LIPS.
Your answer was all right He was
so very rude that you should not try
to make him like you. Speak to him
indifferently when you see him and
in the future have nothing more to
do with him. A boy will go long
way to see a girl if he cares much
about being with her.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am high
school boy, and there Is very nice
girl in the same class to whom l have
| taken a fancy. I wish to ask her to
my birthday. party and / can't find
any way which would be suitable for
an invitation. l have never met her,
and that is Why I ask Won for informa-
ton on that subject. E.V.
Since you both go to the same school
you do not need an introduction. 60

Dear Mrs Thompson: Is it all right
for girl Of IA to ride bicycle and

Yes.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am IS
years old and am in love with two
| girls. One is in her sophomore year
in high school and the other is in her
sophomore year at college. The older
one is seriously inclined and has no
thoughts Of the other boys, but the
younger one is quite frivolous, al
though she appeals immensely to me.
Which one shall I choose?

Cali of March 9, which says:
The romantic legend of the famous

ed in San Francisco today from Homo

Impressed with the beauty of the
myth and its possibilities as an Oper-
attic plot, klaw expressed his conf
dence that some composer will use it
as a setting and with it will furnish
the American people with their great
est of English operas.
The Old Legged of kilauea, which
has passed from generation to genera
tion among the Hawaiians, is founded
on the battle between the Goddess

have taken refuge in each of a num-
Der of volcanoes, finally seeking safe

RELIABLE LAXATIVE
RELIEVED THIS BABY
Child Was Badly constipated Until
Mother Tried Simple Remedy.

In spite of every care and attention
to diet, children are very apt to BE-

sible for many ills in after life unless
promptly relieved.
Mrs C. w. Wilson of Shelbyville,

Woodrow. until she heard of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. She writes, Il
can safely say DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is the best remedy of its kind
on earth. 1t acts so gently and yet SO
surely. Little Woodrow was very
badly constipated and We could find
nothing that gave relief until we tried

date relief
Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is Il
compound of simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs,
mild in action, positive in effect and
pleasant to the taste. 1t has been

Directors of the Hawaiian Com

in addition to the monthly dividend of
% cents a share, an extra dividend of
81 share, both payable June Sth, to

announcement was made TO that eff
feet, the impression prevails that the
company will continue TO declare eX
tras of 81 a share each month as
long as conditions warrant such &C
