Dear Mrs. Thompson: am school
teacher in city or town which Is
considered q suburb OF q good sized
city. There is . young man who lives
in the city and he has been paying
me good deal OF attention, but there
is no way l can find out about him
and get any assurance that his char
acter is good and that his reputation
is unimpeachable.
l have never gone with many young
men and SO do not know Just what
to do. Can you advise me how to
know whether he is all right or not?
L. s. NJ
For the present you need have no
worry about this young mans char
acter. II he appears all right to you,
treats you with respect and is not
rude or unkind. let his actions speak
for his character. II he should fall
in love with you and ask you to marry
him. you can then ask him about his
associations and his reputation, and
he will, IL he is the right kind of a
man for you, be glad to give you ref
erences and assurances of his good
moral character. Your education and
what little experience you have had
will tell you intuitively If he commits
any breach Of good taste.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Will you
please tell me the correct thing about
several little points that bother me
occasionally when l am out with boys.
"a In getting on a street car,
should l get on first or the boy, and
in getting off, which is correct?
(2) When my beau comes to see me
Sunday nights and suggests that we
take walk, should l get right up
and go, or should say yes, and then
wait a while before making some NOV g
to go?
90 When he leaves, shall l tell him
to come again?
% The girl should get on the car
first and in getting off she should
wait till the young man has stepped
down so that he can help her to alight.
(2) When he suggests that you take
walk, just say, "All right, shall we
go right now" or something like that
II you don't care to ask, it will be
all right to make some kind of move
right away to show you care to 60.
80 Yes, if you wish him to. Do
not mention the time he is to come
let him suggest that.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girls IL years old,
~ Would you tell us two good In
dian names? We cannot find any.
~ Is it proper for US to use codes
in writing letters? Our friends have
one and SO have we.
90 One Of our girl friends sent a
note by another girl to boy AS she
is only IL we do not think it is proper
What is your opinion?
a. What is a reliable remedy for
eczema? What causes it?
(5) Is it proper for girls of our age
to 60 to the show alone after school?
(6) Please mention two colors for
sweaters for school girls.
HON AND DEARIE.
~ Hiawatha, Pocahontas, Mime
haha and Watseka are good Indian
names. Four names instead of two
will give you little choice.
(2) 1t is fun to write in code and
all right unless you write things you
would not be willing to have read in
codes are wrong. l
wouldn't advise you you to send code
letters through the mail
60 A girl of IL is too young to
write notes to a boy.
"a There are good remedies for
eczema which can be bought reason
ably. Ask reliable druggist to rec
ommend one. A bad condition of the
blood causes it.
90 1t is all right if you do it oc-
casionally. but you should 60 very
rarely alone
