A QUESTIONABLE.
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
I am a girl Of 16 years and have
brown eyes and hair. I have many
boy and girl friends, and my girl
friends tell me l am real good
looking. I am sophomore and in
tend to work my way through
school. Can you tell me something
| could do during the summer to
earn some money, as / don't care to
work out?
have been corresponding with a
soldier boy who I met at a soldier
When he met me he asked me to
write to him, so I did. He has al
ways treated me right and we have
been writing for about five months.
Miss Fairfax, do you think it Is
proper for me to continue to corre-
spond with him, as he says he hardly
ever gets letter from anyone but
his folks and does not hear from
them very often? Would it be i'm
polite for me to send him Christ
mas present, as he said he would
send me gift Of remembrance?
What would you suggest as a nifty
gift. nothing expensive or elaborate?
When my soldier friend from
camp comes to visit me, should he
take me to the movies, or is it my
place to entertain him by taking him
to the show? Do you think I'm too
young to keep company with my boy
friends and have them come to my
house? My parents do not object
if l go with respectable boys, and
not very often. T.
Should girl accept ring, brace
let, watch or jewelry Of any kind
from her boy friend as a gift?
Should boy friend put his arm
around girl while walking or rid
ing and show how he feels towards
girl?
How do you remove a wart from
your hand and how long will it take?
How is my writing and how can it
be improved? hope this does not
find its way to the waste paper
basket. for I need your advice.
Thanking you very much.
TOBY BLUEBIRI.
could not advise you how to
earn money. as I do not know your
capabilities and opportunities.
There Is nothing particularly
wrong about your writing to this
soldier boy so long as your letters
contain nothing that everybody
could not read. The war has I'M
hooked the reins Of propriety to
some extent and it would be all right
for you to send your soldier friend
some little gift. However, 1t should
not be costly. 1t Is proper for you
to invite your friends TO your home
and see no objection to them TAX
ing you to the movies. You are too
young to keep company" as you
say, with boys, but If your parents
do not object to nice boys 1t is all
right for them to come to your home
occasionally. No, you should not
accept jewelry or expensive gifts
from boys to whom you are not en-
gagged. Boys should not put their
arms around girls while walking or
riding, no matter how he feels to-
ward her. Your physician can
probably remove a wart-I cannot.
Your writing is fairly good, but can
be improved by practice. = rs
She Loves a Soldier. ~.
Dear Miss Fairfax: A gentleman
know very well has asked me to
marry him, telling me how much he
loves me. I told him to wait for an
answer. He is very kind to me, but
I do not love him, for my love is in
far-off France. This soldier I love
very much, but he never said a word
that would make me know he loved
me. Still, when I said goodby to
him he said, Remember, I wish to
seey you the same as / leave you
when I come back" I did not get
his meaning. Do you think I'd bet
ter wait for his return and see how
things turn out, and tell the other
one have no love for him? MAY.
You will make a serious mistake
II you become engaged to your pres
emit lover while you are so deeply in
terested in the soldier. Even If the
soldier is not in love with you, you
must recover from that attachment
before you can promise to love any,
one else. Why not tell the man who
is now waiting for your answer that
your heart Is not free?
A Dangerous Proximity.
Dear Miss Fairfax. am IS and
deeply in love with a married man,
and. furthermore, he pays very much
attention to my company, so / ask
you to please let me know in what
way could forget him, for we work
together? HEARTBROKEN.
understand how difficult this Is
for you. But 1t is surely most mad
vlsable for you to continue seeing
this man every day, whatever your
good resolution as to forgetting him.
SO my advice Is that you find work
somewhere else as soon as possible
Don't you see that this is the only
effective way of getting him out of
your mind and heart?
Fears to Trust Her.
. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been
engaged for IS months. I work
nights in one OF the government
shops. One night last week her
shop gave an entertainment out Of
town and she went without even
asking me, returning home at /
