Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
girl of 16. l care nothing for go
ing out evenings because | devote
my time to my school studies and
Red Cross. But whenever | go out
and at school / make friends very
easily and every one seems to love
me.
| do not care anything about

with them they want me TO keep
company with them. which I will
not do. | tell them / want to be
their friend, but they always say
| am so strange because everybody
loves me and / am so cold with
them. My mother wants Lie to go
out evenings and is always brag-
ging about my talent and popular
ity, which | hate. / tell her, but
it makes her very angry.
l went to another town and
while l was there | met a nice
boy The girl l went to see tells me
he wants to bring her with him
over to see me and we three go to
an entertainment. Would this be
ali right if my parents do not OBJ
ject? INDIFFERENCE.
1t will be all right to go to the
entertainment with the boy and the
girl since your parents do not OBJ
ject. You are very much too young
however, to go with boys as a gen.
eral thing.
Dear Mrs Thompson: We are
two little girls 10 years old We
have been selling ice cream and
lemonade and giving our profits to
the Red Cross. Now we can't get
sugar for ice cream. Won't you
please suggest some way for us to
make money for the Red Cross
We 5are anxious to do our bit dur
ing vacation.
TWO WILLING WORKERS.
You are very young girls, but |
think you could get work taking
care of babies in the afternoon. Go
to the Red Cross headquarters and
say that you are willing to do such
| work They will mention it to the
Red Cross workers for you and in
that way you can find mothers who
will pay you for. your time.

1t is all right to speak to him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: How
many dates week do you think a
girl should have after she is Is or

A girl should not have more than
three engagements a week. Her
! health cannot stand any more than
and lose their endurance.
nights grow old before they should
and loose their endurance.
