Dear Mrs, Thompson: What would
you do in a case where two neighbors
are living side by side and in ,he
same line Of business These people
have done many nice things for us and
we do for them, but when there Is
chance to cheat us in some undcrhan ted
way they do it and then tell us that
they must look out for themselves be-
cause nobody else will We don't want
these people mad. but they don't care
whether we like it or not Should we
treat them in the same kind OF way as
usual or not2 II we don't they will
be sore and that would hurt rs very
much to have hard feelings
GREEN PUMPKINS
Nothing permanent is ever gained by
cheating II you work hard and do the
best work IN your line and refuse to
be satisfied with anything but a salts
factory job, no one can injnre your
trade You will certainly gain nothing
by an unfricndly attitude toward your
neighbor. As soon as you gain a repu-
tatlon ior quality and square deal
your neighbor will see that cheating
cannot win in a battle against integrity.
Dear Mrs Thompson We are two
very young girls, but do not wish to
become so grown up" All other girls
our age go with boys, paint, powder and
use all the modern contraptlons, but
We wish to h girlIsh. Is there any way
10 remain SOP
BLONDE AND BRUNETTE
You will remain glrllSh as long as
YOU have desire to do so, There is
no need Of powdering and painting and
| think you are wise in leaving such
things alone Don't think about grow
ing up If It spoils the enjoyment Of
your childhood
