MIS- ELrZ ARLTU rIoHpsON

| Lear MRS. InOmpS0n: l went with
q girl who lives three doors from me
for over two months, and one day
she 1nsulted me so that l was very
much hurt. l stopped going with her
then and there, and have never taken
her anywhere since. am quite popu-
lar and can get all the girls l want
and 80 1t doesn't matter to me.
! She has told neighbors of ours that
stopped going with her and that l
was very mean to her. but it. isn't so
and l do mot know just what to do
about it. / hate to have them think
Ill of me, and / don't want to 90 back
to the girl. GEORGE M.
You are right in not wanting to go
back to the girl, but you should not
care SO much what other people think
of you II it is not so. Conduct your
self in a gentlemanly manner and
soon the truth about you will be
known. 1t won't hurt you to have
false rumors about as long as your
actions are respectable. If the
neighbors say anything to you about
it. tell them it isn't true, but do not
gossip further with them on the sub
ject, and it will all come out all right
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are
girls II and Is years of age.
~ Do you think we are old
enough to take a trip next summer
to relations home of the girl Is, if
some one is going to meet us at. the
station?
(2) What kind of a travelling suit
would yOu advise us to wear, and
what color?
60 We are in society and we each
nave an evening gowns Do you think
1t would be best to take them along?
~ Also, about how many clothes
do you think we ought to take along ?
We are going to stay a month. How
many hats and coats? We can take
all the clothes we want. We don't
want to take so many that the peo-
pie will think we are trying to show
off. HELEN AND airline
% You are old enough to take
the trip if your parents consider it
safe and unless you are going to
travel very long distance. A day
or night trip would be all right, but
would not advise you to travel sew
eral days alone.
DO not enter into conversation
with any strangers.
(2) 1t would be unwise to give too
much thought to the suits you wear
for travel, because almost anything
will do. Some people prefer navy
blue. 1t is a good color because it
does not show soil, but it does get
dusty. You will find any color you
choose all right. / would not advise
white, however.
CD Take party dresses along, be-
cause you may need them. You are
too young to wear evening gowns,
and l wouldn't call the dresses by
that name If were you.
"a Do not take too many clothes
because you will find them only a
bother. If you each have a pretty
silk skirt, several waists, a white
skirt -~ or two, two little summer
dresses, one hat and one coat. be-
sides plenty Of underwear, you will
get along all right.
LEAR MIS-. lnOmpSOn: l have very
red hair, almost auburn, and 1 am
undecided what color clothes to wear
will soon have to get a suit to wear
to school and for regular wear, not
to parties, and saw a brown one in
a window which l like very much.
Do you think l can wear brown all
right? II not, what other color
would be suitable? BROWNIE.
The brown suit would be all right.
The saleswoman who helps you
select the suit will be glad to tell
you what she thinks of it, and she
con tell better how you look in it
than l can, not knowing your exact
coloring and complexion. Brown.
however, is always good with red
hair.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have had a
girl friend for three years and we
have gone together all that time and
told each other everything. She SEEM
