PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: ! went with
ybung man about three or four
weeks and he went home Before he
left he asked me il he could write to
me and 1 told him that he could. He
has been gone about a month and 1
have received only one letter from
him. What do you think is the matter
with him? Do you think he is mad
at me? He told me before he went
home that II he could be where he
could see me every day he would not
mind going home.
THANK YOU. =
do not think the boy is angry. He
is probably busy and does not get
around to answering your letter. Most
boys do not enjoy letter writing and
| even II they say they are going to
correspond they soon get tired of II.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I have been
going with boy I do not love but
like. We exchanged photographs
some time ago. / have never given
my photograph to any other man, but
this boy was a soldier and IL to leave
SO soon for France. felt II was Diff
ferent and If my photograph would
really do him any good he was well
any friends picture. Did I do wrong
in exchanging with him? B. b.
think 1t was all right to exchange
pictures. A girl should not give her
picture to boy just because he is q
soldier, but when he Is a valued
be a help to him, think it is diff
! ferent.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: "a Do you
| think it wrong to write cheerful let
| tiers to soldier boys you have never
met. providing you .don't sign your
| name-only "A Friend" or something
| like that?
CD 1 have a friend who is an audi.
tor in Washington. Should his folks
have a service flag for him? Some
say they should and some say they
should not? Who Ia right?
CD When writing to a soldier boy
| should you say Dear Friend?"
A DAILY READER.
% It Ia ali right. Be careful not
to make yeur letters silly because he
might learn sometime who sent them
60 They should not:
60 Say Dear Jack"
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ] work where
there are several other girls. I an,
married and my husband Is in ser.
| vice. think I am three or -four
girls. but I get along with them very
nicely. The other day just in fun
called one Of the girls by her first
| name and she flared UP at me RICH,
IN front or her employer and said thai
| I was altogether too familiar and II
she cared to be called by her frs,
| name she would say so. This hur,
| my feelings terribly and have been
embarrassed every. time / meet either
the girl or her employer. Do you
think was terribly rude? We have
| worked at the same place over six
months. Many Of the incest girls there
call me by my first name and / dc
| the same with them, and we have
not known each other any longer. II
as long. MABEL S.
:. The girl was q bit ridiculous. /,
seems to me. Too much foEDnality
Can be very disagreeable. She could
have reproved you in a more tactful
way. If she had gone on calling you
by your last name you would have
seen that she did not like the famil
iarity and you would have stopped
of your own accord.
| Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is it proper
for two young couples to go automo-
bile riding at night. unchaperoned, IL
both couples expect to be married
very soon? DOUBTFUL
| 1t is considered all right for girl
to go riding unchaperoned with the
man she il engaged to.
