Shall She Correspond? =?

mutual friends and danced good deal with
him. He has written to me recently, asking
me to correspond with him. He Is a very nice
young fellow and | would like to write to him.
DO you think should do so1 HELEN,
Sensible letters which are full of news
and interesting matter are rather helpful
for two young persons but a girl should be
very careful not to allow any famiiaritles
in expression to creep into the corresponds
encel and there is always danger OF be-
coming more intimate on paper than one
is apt to be when merely meeting now and
again as friends. and sentimental letter.
writing Is a mistake. II your parents know
the young man, l can see no reason for
your not corresponding.
