YUTCHIE DARLING.
With the present prices 80 high ana
living expenses so much more than
they used to be, you would find that
the $40 didn't go very far toward sun
porting the two of you.
In case where a raise in salafy
is expected it is always wise to wait
for the raise than to get married ey.
pecting it and then run the chance Of
being disappointed.
You may want this young man fora
friend, but your letter does not sound
as though you really love him. and
marriage without love would be fail.
ure. The best thing for you to do il
to wait while and see if you still
want to marry him in a year or two,
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have been
writing to young man in another
city during the past winter and re.
Gently when he came up to this town,
which is where his parents live, he
went to see several of the other young
ladies here, but didn't call on me OF
even telephone me. l saw him on the
street one day and he didn't seem to
notice me. Do you think that / ought
to drop him and never write again, Or
what shall l do? INEZ.
Yes, l think you should drop him.
II were you l would not write to him
and when he comes to the town again
pay him back in his own coin-just
act as if you didn't see, him the way
he acted with you. If he cares for you
and has been the victim of some idle
gossip or in some way has been de-
ceived. he will write to you asking
what is the trouble and then you can
straighten the matter out il you care
to.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am II years
old and l have gone to high school
over two years. My brother was
drafted and so my father says will
have to get to work and earn m0ne..
He says that first can take bust.
ness course il l want to.
% Would you advise me to take
bookkeeping. shorthand or steno-
type?
90 Would you take a business
course at all? Or would you start
right in clerking? INQUISITIVE.
% Most girls prefer stenography to
to bookkeeping. Unles you are very
fond of mathematics and figures !
would advise you to take steno-
graphic course.
Shorthand and stereotype are both
good. Study your own case and talk
the matter over with the head OF the
school you expect to attend. A steno-
type machine costs $50, but it. does
not take as long to learn the sub
ject as shorthand, and it is not as
difficult to master. Stereotype certain
ly has its strong points. but at the
same time there is the argument
against it that you always have to
have your machine with you, while
in shorthand all you need is q pencil
and scrap of paper. -.ss
