Il
binding. II the ring is Of any value
it should be returned, but If it Is not,
nothing need be said about it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: a. How late
should a young lady allow gentle
man friend to stay in the evening?
(2) What is tha proper time for q
girl who is living in town to be in on
the streets in the evening and should
she attend shows very often?
FRECKLES.
"a 1t is all right for girl Of IL, or
older, to let boy stay until 1880.
but if the girl is younger than IL she
should not permit boys to stay later
than $3.50.
A girl should not loiter on the
streets even when in company with
boy. The time that she should get
home varies, because if she has gone
to a dance she would naturally get
home later than from picture show.
Midnight is late enough to be out no
matter what the occasion.
1t is all right for a girl to attend
the theatre or picture show once or
twice a week; any oftener would be
waste of time.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Are the mil
itary heels the latest in shoes this
season? A READER.
| Yes. they are the new heel. They
will be worn great deal In street
shoes because they are so sensible.
| Dear Mrs. Thompson: o. Do you
think l could be good skilled stem
ographer If did not go through high
SCHOOL,
(2) Do business men only take
girls who have graduated from high
school?
60 If I have two years Of high
school and one year at some business
college, don't you think that would
be able to take a position with good
salary? FRESHIE.
"a You need a high school educa-
ton to be a skilled stenographer.
Many of the best commercial schools
in the country will not enroll students
unless they are high school graduates.
(2) Some business men are willing
to take stenographers who are not
high school graduates because 1t is
cheaper. Business men are learning,
however, that it does not pay to hire
cheap stenographers who have little
education because their business suf-
/ in hn
money than they save.
90 You would be an exception to
make any kind Of a salary after only
two years of high school and your bus
mess training Even if you did man
age to start at good pay you would
find that the better educated girls
would slip in ahead Of you and get
the better jobs. If, however, you can
not go to high school any longer, make
the best Of the education you have and
study at home evenings.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Would ii
be considered patriotic to eat sauer
dish? c. s.. B.
Yes, it is considered patriotic. Just
as it is to eat German fried potatoes
or any other dish of that kind. PEG
pie should eat the kind of cooking
j that pieases them, while, of course,
observing the rules Of the United
States food administration.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: A young
man I like real well has asked to &C
company me home several times, but
! it has been necessary at all times to
refuse. The real cause cannot be told
him. What would be the best excuse
to make? BLUE EYES.
There is no good excuse to offer. Tell
him that you have made other ar
rangements, or something like that.
Dear Mrs. thompson: am a
young girl and live in the country.
~ I am thinking of having party
some time soon What would be nice
to serve to about twenty-five or thirty
guests? l don't want to serve any
thing expensive
ca Do you think there is any harm
in dancing at home when there are
just a few and a decent crowd?
I MANY THANKS.
| O. Serve hot chocolate or coffee
and sandwiches, or grapejuice and
small cakes.
! (2) l think it is all right to dance
in private home.
