Dear Mrs Thompson: How should
We treat women with questionable
Characters? We meet them every
where, at our church. sewing circle,
parties and on the street. We have
discussed this subject at home, but
our opinions differ greatly.
MRS. DON'T KNOW.
Give women OF questionable chaTac-
ter the benefit Of the doubt. Many
girls life has been ruined because
gossips have made unjust remarks
about her simply because she was
pretty and we'll liked by men. 1t is
wrong to consider women in two
classes, good and bad Many good
women go around looking for bad in
others, and most so-called bad women
have suffered so much that they seek
goodness and beauty in others. Don
allow yourselves to be the kind OF
women who root out the bad IN
persons character and talk it over
and glory in it, Have faith in the
nobility of human nature. Jesus pc
Iieved Mary Magdalene to be good in
spite OF what she had done, and HIS
faith in her made her good.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ~ We are
two girls II years old. We are often
asked by young men to go to dances
| and theatres, but we always have to
( refuse because we are not old enough.
| Our mother is very strict with us and
we are not even allowed to attend
moving picture show. Don't you think
we girls are old enough to have lit
! tie time of our own TO do with as we
! please?
/ ~ Wherever we go our mother
wants to go along Of course we ap-
preciate the advantage of having a
mother, but do you think she is do
| ing right by not letting us have a
/ little enjoyment at least?
go What do you think of a young
man who just met a girl at dance
and kisses her even if she tells him
not to? Do you think this is sign
that ne loves her?

to give her that would not be too ex-
