Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am com
ing to you for advice, which l know
you can give me. / am a young girl
II years old. If l stay out later than
half-past eight in the evening mother
fuses at me. | am never loud nor
rough on the streets. but she says /
am. ] tried to have a talk with her,
but she won't listen. / get so discour-
aged sometimes that | don't know
what to do. | admit | have a nasty
temper, but try to control it. Some
times life seems unbearable. l don't
care for boy friends so much. but l
do want girl friends. And mother will
never let me go any where, so | am
unpopular. Could take course in
shorthand at home? Last year moth
er compelled me to quit high school.
There is one thing that hurts me
worst of all, that is. mother throws
up false things to me. Now as | am
too young to leave home, what would
you advise me to do? MARY BELL.
Little girl your trouble lies in the
fact that you and your mother have
not a good understanding. Why not
go to her and tell her just what you
have written to me, and ] am sure
that she will try to help you. 1t is
too bad when mother does not I'M
derstand her children, for so much
pleasure is lost for both of them. 1t is
quite discouraging, especially to a
young girl, but try to smile and be
sweet and gracious to her and to all
your friends, and you will eventual
ly win out. There are a number of
schools that have a correspondence
course, and you might write them
for their prices. Ask your mother to
let you return to school for you are
much too young to go out into the
world and make your living. May /
wish for you much brightness and
happiness, little girl?
Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am COM
ing to you for some advice. l am IS
years old and have been going with
boy my age. Not long ago he stopped
calling and he has refused to speak
to me. He now comes to my house to
see my cousin and ! would like to
know what is the reason why he re-
fuses to speak to me. He has some
letters of mine and | would like to
have them. Do you think he is gen.
tleman? There is another boy who
wants to come to see me, but he said
that he was afraid of my father, He
wants me to meet him in town and go
to the show and then he said he
would bring me home and meet my
father. Do you think ] should meet
him in town or must ] forget him? |
do like him. BROWN EYES.
Why not converse with the youth
on his strange conduct and perhaps
he can tell you why he has ceased to
