V l. Mrs.. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am the
mother of a 17-year-old boy. who
must say is very mean. He al
ways goes to high school, but never
studies This, of course, worries
me. He also uses vulgar language
around the house and calls me
names. | really don't know what
TO think about him. Sometimes |
Just get sick over it. What would
your idea be, to take him out OF
school or let him remain.
In the morning I wake him up at
Z O'Clock and he won't get up until
s, and then he is tardy. In the ey-
ening he does not come home until
$50 p. m.
What can l do to make him bet
ter boy? NJ. S.
Does your son have an allowance,
or does he earn his own money? IN
case he has an allowance, deduct q
little every time he refuses to get
up in the morning and every time
he is discourteous. 1t would be a
good plan If you can afford it 10
give him a little more money once
in a while when he has had very
good week.
Probably you have your trouble
because you did not discipline your
boy when he was a child. He IS
unruly now as a result, and you
find yourself unequal to cope with
the situation.
Try not TO nag or answer back.
Be firm when you ask him to do a
thing, but even if you let him have
his own way, do not nag.
You may have to take him ont OF
school, but l would not do that if
were you except as last resort
1t might be well. however, to have
a plain talk with him some time
and say that unless he does his
part TO be pleasant and manly he
will have to work next year and
will not have a chance to go to
school.
When your boy Is older he will
outgrow many of his disagreeabIe
qualities, but he will always have
disagreeable disposition unless he
is curbed right away.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have a
couple of girl friends who were
very good TO me at first, but they
have left me now because l did not
go automobile riding with them.
do not believe in going out riding
at 10 o'clock at night Girls like
that have no respect for themselves
or their parents. I am giving a
birthday dinner at my house and I
did not invite these girls. Mother
does not care for the girls and so
I do not think I am doing wrong.
What do you think?
I am 10 years OF age and I am
very good to my parents. I think
a whole lot of them I go out on
Saturday and Sunday and stay out
until 10 o'clock. Other days I have
homework to do to help mother.
When I go to dances I always go
with my brother. He is my chap
eron. l enjoy movies. Do YOU thinl,
I am doing the right thing for girl
of my age? YOUR GIRL.
l think you are wise not to invite
the girls to your dinner party. You
want to choose a different class Of
girls for your friends. You proba-
bly, will find your mothers judg-
ment of young people quite accur-
ate and worth considering.
You are doing the right thing for
girl of your age. You are old
enough, however, to go TO dances
and other places with boys when

their chaperones there. The affair
was to inaugurate the new y. NJ.

the best Of the year. The evening
was spent dancing and the young
men served refreshments. Other
parties will be given from time to

very popular with the young wo-
men.

Evening Chat

The gas is growing low again.
Looks as IL we were going to freeze
sure this winter unless we put in coal
tires or furnaces. There are many
people in the city who can not afford
TO install furnaces and many others
who are renting homes whose land
lords say they cannot afford to put
IN furnaces. What are we going to Go
about it? This morning In many
homes there %as hardly enough gas
to get warm by and the chill of the
first days of winter seems more IN
ltense than the bitter cold. One wom-
an whom I know has bought a new
rs heating stove>at the small price
OF $40 when it sold last winter for
SIS, and has had 1t connected by pipe
to her kitchen stove, the pipe running
around the door inconspicuousIy into
the dining room where she is going to
use the heater. The room is too large
to be warmed sufficiently by gas even
In days of gas abundance, so now that
she has already suffered to some small
degree from the early winter chill, she
IS planning on surely keeping warm
this time" In her regular fireplace
She has installed d coal crate and as
soon as the gas shows symptoms Of
laziness, in will go the coal and some
body viii have to get acquainted with
how to build coal fires and with how
to carry out ashes. It looks now as
though father would be the goat!
