Dear Mrs. Thompson: Your column
contains answers te the inquiries of
some young lady who wishes 70 know
your opinion of a man that has acted
as the person she is acquainted with,
Reading your column / came to un-
derstand the responsibility Of your
task. especially in the cases as the
above mentioned where your answer
must express not only your own opin-
ion bur the opinion Of the majority.
The laws of what Is right and what
is wrong are formed by the majority,
ID Now would you please tell me
if il is all right for a young man who
is all alone and does not intend 10 get
married, but loves music above every
thing else 10 get acquainted with a
young lady and call on her-once in a
while 10 enjoy her playing?
f2} Is it wrong If the same young
man takes the young lady TO a good
show or presents her with some flow
ers once in a while 10 express his graf
itude for her playing2
~ Is il the law Of society that
only 3 man with matrimonial objects
has a right to get acquainted with a
girl and in doing so he Is supposed
10 marry the girl?
(4} If the girl is young and charm
ing, has a beautiful voice and Is an
accom- pIshed piano player. has or can
have as many fellows as she wishes
at her feet. but thinking this one is
the unobtainable she wants him.
would you please give me your own
personal opinion, for this is a ques-
ton that worries me most: Would
the girl be really heart-broken if she
could not get that man?
LOVE AND LOYALTY.
(11 No. it is not wrong. On the
contrary it is quite the natural thing
to do. She no doubt enjoys playing
for someone who appreciates her eff
forts
~ No, again 1t is really quite
thoughtful Of the young man TO show
his appreciation in some way other
than just idle words and praises
49, No. n order for most men TO
find the girl best suited TO them they
get acquainted with many girls and
do not necessarily think Of marrying
in every case. The same is true with
girls. too, Of course. After a man
mas gone with several girls he is bet
Ter capable Of Judging which girl he
wants, or whether or not ne wants to
get married It would be quite uu-
fortunate If every girl expected to
marry the first man who became in
