Dear Mrs. Thompson: ~ Will you
please suggest some games to be
played at Valentine party where
there are going to be boys from hign
school and girls, too?
ca What would you serve?
LIvA LOO.
"a Owing to the limited space for
my answers and the large number Of
questions l receive, I cannot describe
games for Valentine parties. II you
watch the magazines you will find the
description Of many games suitable
for the occasion. There are also books
describing games at the library.
(2) Serve ice cream, cakes, hot
chocolate and nuts, or salad, sand
witches, coffee and olives.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am girl
II years old. / am going with a boy
10 years old. He wants me to be his
bride. What do you think about it?
Do you think l am too young and do
you thing am too young to 60 with the
boys? FANCY.
You are too young to marry, and
you are very young to go with boys.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 81 l have
brown hair, blue eyes and a rather
dark complexion. What colors can
wear well?
(2) Is it wrong to write to soldier
boys whom you have never seen.
GENEVIVA.
al Shades of blue would be be-
coming to you.
(2) Since our young men have gone
to fight for the cause of liberty, con-
ventions have been changed and it is
not considered wrong for girls to
write to them even though not &C
quainted. It would be better, though
if you knew something about him as
a sort of reference of good character.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: O ! have
a boy friend and he lives In another
town. He writes me almost every day,
and it seems as if he and his people
both like me. Do you think it proper
for me to 60 to his house and stay all
night if his mother asks me?
(2) Is It proper for him to stay all
night at my home If it is all right
with my folks?
80 l would like to go and see his
folks soon. What can l write to him
to make him know I want to come?
have been there many times before.
"a What would be nice to get him
for birthday present?
MULE TRACKS.
"a A girl should not stay all>night
at boys home unless she is engaged
to him.
(2) 1t is all right for your parents
to invite him, but they should not urge
him to stay if he seems inclined
not to.
go 1t would be decidedly unwise tc
even suggest that you would like tt
visit them again. Do not write any.
thing to that effect.
"a 1t is not necessary to give him
anything, but, if you do, send a book
or something equally inexpensive.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have a boy
friend who lives out Of town and wher
rhe comes here he stays about three
days. How late If the evening should
l stay out with him? I am Is years
old. BETTY.
1t depends upon the occasion how
late you stay out. If the boy takes
you to a picture theatre, stay unit
the show is over, get ice cream If he
wants you to, and then 60 home. In
such case you would probably gel
home about 1920. If you should &c
to a dance you would probably gel
home about midnight Ten or ten.
thirty is a good time to get home US.

We usually quarrel.
He wants to marry me, and al
