Heart and Beauty
Problems
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPsO

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a high
school graduate and 1 have started to
work in department store. L was
started on a very low salary just as
all the girls were. 1 wouldn't mind
it so much only girls who just went
to grammar school, and some who
didn't even graduate, are getting just
as much or more than 1 am.
have been working at this place
for four weeks and 1 have almost de-
cided to leave.
Don't you think that as long as
am better educated than most other
girls that I ought to get better pay?
L was always told while 1 was IN
school that the more education you
got the higher pay you would get.
UNDECIDED.
Business concerns pay their en-
ployees for the amount of work they
can turn out and not for the extent
of their education. When you prove
by the quality of what you do that
you are worth more to your employer
than the other girls, you will be
raised accordingly
Don't be a gutter. Take an inter-
est in everything you do, and study
further The most hopeless person
IN the world is the one who thinks
he knows it all.
There is law of compensation
Ralph Waldo Emerson writes about it
1t is natural law, not man-made.
and 1t never fails. We get out of life
only so much as we put into if If
you give good service where Won are.
even If it is not appreciated now, the
returns will come back to you. You
Will grow too big for your job, and
some one who sees your worth will
match you up.
My advice IS to take a commercial
course at night school and to work
nara and learn all you can during the
day.
Dear Mrs Thompson: There is a
young man who comes to see me quite
o1ten and he usually suggests that we
go 10 picture show. 1 like him very
much and would rather sit and talk
10 MN or take walk, but, but going
TO the picture show hurts my ewes
and L don't know what to do about IL
Do you think he. would be hurt If I
told him didn't want to go to the
picture show? 1 don't want to do
anything that would make him want
to leave me. RERNTCE
don think he would feel hurt if
you told him just how you feel about
! It When he suggests that you go to
the picture show, just say that your
eyes bother you and you would rather
not go Ask him if he would NOT like
10 take a walk instead. Let him see
that you aren't trying to get rid OF
him, but just don't enjoy the pic
ture show. By the way, have Won
ever tried to shield the ewes from
strong light? You might enjoy the
pictures with proper glasses on. Some
people wear glasses in the movie
! shows only.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am eigh.
teen years old and have very pretty
/ eyes and black hair. I have beer
! going with two nice boys who seem tc
! love me very much 1 go with one a
! few nights and then the other onf
| comes over to see me and I make
| dates with him. 1 don't know which
! one like best. One is very modest
! and dresses well and seems to be wei
I educated. The other one is rougher
but has such good heart that 1 dom
/ want to let him go. Which one do you
think I ought to choose?
BABY NINE
Why choose either one? You are
/ young yet and you don't need to thinl
of marrying. Go with both of thes,
boys since they both like you Yo:
ought to be glad that you don't have
to go with Just one boy. One of tn,
| worst things young girl can do is t
center all her attention on one boy
Go with both of them as long as con
/ ditions are as they are now.
