you allow him to go with you. He
has been false to her and to you: he
should have told you he was married

you. Prove your true friendship by
influencing him TO do the honorable
thing by his wife and child.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % I am
10 years old and l am in love with a
certain boy. He came to see me three
times and he wanted to kiss me each
time. AT first l would not let him be-
cause l did not think it was right. He
said that it would not be right to kiss
most people, but because l loved him
and he loved me it would be all right.
The third time I let him kiss me. Did
I do right?
~ The boy came to see me three
times in one week and he has not
been to see me for over two weeks.
Do you think he is angry or that he
will come back?
(D The boy is 81. Is he too old
for me to go with?
"a Should l call him up and tell
him to come to see me if he doesn't
come before long? DIMPLES.
% You should not have let him
kiss you. He got what he wanted
and he lost respect for you, and he
probably will not care to see you
again.
CD He probably will not come
back.
81 Yes. You are too young to go
with boys
"a Don't call him up. If you do
he will have even less respect for
you than he has now. If you pay no
attention to him he may decide that
his first estimate of you was wrong
and he will want to see you again
to find out if you are the kind of
girl he can admire and want for a
friend. If he does come back, don't
make the mistake of kissing him
again.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a man

my troubles. For about q year | have
been going with two girls and / like
both Of them-one better than the
other. The girls are friends, or used
to be; unfortunately my relationship
with them has made them suspicious
of each other. l am not In a position
to marry and as a matter of fact ] do
like either of the girls well enough for
that. The girl l like best seems to
care a great deal for me. She is
fine little thing and l wouldn't hurt
her for the world 1 think it best to
go with both the girls because Of this.
so that she will not think my inten-
tons are serious. So far 1 have kept
our relationship on a friendly basis.
Do you think it is wrong for me to go
with the two girls since l do not in
tend to marry either? ROY.
I think it is best to go with both
girls since you do not intend to
marry either. 1t is unfortunate that
you spoiled their friendship, but that
cannot be helped now. When q
friendship between two girls is
broken because of some man 1t can
rarely be mended again.
Dear Mrs. thompson: l am a Ste
nographer 10 years old. I have been
going with a young man who works
where do and l love him very much.
When l started to go with him 1
thought of course he was single, but l
learned from another source that he
has a wife and child, but he and his
wife do not get along well together.
When / heard that, I told him. He
admitted it and begged me not to give
him up. He said that he is very I'M
happy and his love for me is the only
thing he has in life. He says that if I
do give him up he doesn't know what
will become Of him. 1 know that
whatever is the trouble between him
and his wife it must be her fault, be-
cause he is very sweet and kind and
thoughtful and he never does or says
an unkind thing AS long as I mean
so much to him and his wife means
nothing, don't you think it would be
honorable for me to give him my
friendship and encourage him all
can?
