Dear Chaperon: I am q young girl
Of eighteen. and have been keeping
company with a young man six years
my senior.
He seems to be very, nice to me
when l am in his company. I like
him very much. But lately he seems
to pay more attention to another girl.
But I think he is only going with
her for spite, because one night he
wanted me to go out with him, and !
wouldn't go because he said some
thing one day that did not like very
we'll.
want you to tell me what to do,
as think am to blame for the way
he has been acting toward me, and
like his company very much.
ANXIOUS.
II you are quite sure that this
young man Is simply trying to make
you jealous, and you are really sorry
because you said something that
was unjust, II would, indeed, be we'll
for you to apologize for your un-
worthy words. But IL you are not
quite sure that you were in the
wrong. and IL you would only apollo
gize to him to bring him back TO
you, don't do IL, my dear. You see,
II is possible that he may really like
the other girl better than he does
you. And If he does, don't worry
about It.
There are too many fine young men
and good comrades In the world for
you to break your heart over this
one.
Dear Chaperon: 1 am q girl nine
teen years old, and many people say
am good looking. I-know, myself,I
am not homely. 49,, ,s-.z..-yu--.---.--,.
Can you tell me why 1 can't get
any boy friend? / am so worried ]
am going to be an old maid I am
very particular who make up with.
Can you. tell me where I can meet
some nice, refined. young man? I'd

whenever I go, don't enjoy myself,

dress very nice.
WORRIED BLUE EYES.
Have you ever thought that beauty
really doesn't count very much in
making friends that are worth wtiIe2
It seems to me, my dear. that II you
gave less thought to your good looks
and more attention to the things you
should learn, bethsat school and 1T
home, that you would find yourself
attracting a better, class OF young
men and many. more OF them. Why
don't you try this plan for a while?

and AM engaged, to a young man
seven years my senior. We love each
other dearly, but often we have quar-
rels about which wish your advice.
When a man takes q. girl to whom
he is engaged to a dance should he
dance with her alone or with others,
too? 1t has happened to me so many
times when I went out with my fiance
that he always dances with other
girls, too, and il makes me feel very
bad. think 1t Is not right. Please
me il am right or not.
SWEET MARIE.
Like many other things in life, the
question of whether a hance should
or should not dance with any other
girl is not one that is either right"
or wrong" It depends entirely upon
the two people. Merely as a question,
there Is no reason why an engaged
girl, or an engaged man should not
dance with other guests at dance
where they have many friends. Sim
ply because a man or a girl are en-
gagged does not mean that they can
not enjoy the common social pleas
ures.
But It does make a great difference
how either the man or the girl feels
about it. This is the one thing that
really determines the rightness or the
of it. l am quite sure that
II you explain to your fiance just how
you feel about il he will be very glad
indeed, most happy-not to dance
with any one but you. He wants to
make you happy, ! am sure.
