% MRC. ELIZABETH THOMPSO

Dear Mrs. Thompson: VIII you
please give me a little information.
l. There is a girl in our town whom
l think a great deal of and this
girl seems to think a great deal of
me. Now, how can person ask
her to go places? I know It isn't
polite to ask girl for steady COM
pany, but is this the correct way of
doing, getting dates all the time?
/ 1t seems to me a boy would get
tired of this when he would like to
go and see the girl twice a week or
So
2. How can a boy tell If a girl
likes him or not? Who should get
off the train first, the lady or man?
8. Should a boy always tip his
hat when he goes % see his lady
friend when she meets him at the
door and should he also tip his hat
when he is leaving her? Thank you
for telling me. X. Y. q.
The only way I can suggest is to
ask the young woman each time
you wish to have her company and
don't try to be with her too often,
for then she will get tired of your
company with the result that she
will lose her interest in you. Once
a week ought to be often enough
for a boy to see his girl friend.
2. If she shows an interest in
you and your work and continues
to accept your company. The man
should get off the train first and as
sist the young woman and protect
| her against a1v accident
| 8. Yes, a boy always raises his
( hat when he meets a woman and
when he leaves her, whether at her
home or any other place.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am II
years old and I have been going
with a young man %. He is a
, very nice young man and my par
ents seem to think great deal
of him He is liable to be called
in the draft soon. Would you adj
wise US to marry before, he goes,
| or wait?
Are an engagement and we'd
! ding ring both used? On which
fingers are both worn? Would you
also tell me what kind Of rings
are used for both? MISS NJ. A,
| Both of you are too young to
marry Wait until the war is over
and he returns.
Both a wedding ring and an en-
gagement ring are used. Very
| often the engagement ring is dis
! pensed with to save expense. The
| two rings are worn on the third
| finger of the left hand The dia-
mond is the conventional stone for
! the engagement ring, and narrow
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-07-17

band rings engraved with orange
blossoms or other attractive pat
terms are the favored wedding
rings.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a
young girl of H.. l write to a
boy of 20 in the army. l wouldn't
write to him, but he says that he
is much happier when he gets let
tiers from his home town. He
wants to send me a diamond ring
as my birthday is near. | would
like very much to have the ring,
but l don't know If l ought to &C
cept il. Do you think | better
send it back when it comes? II
so, what shall l tell him?
BIRDIE J.
Write to the boy at once and
tell him that you cannot accept
the ring. A girl should never re-
boy unless she is engaged to him.
Besides you are too young to con-
slider the boy seriously and to &C
cept the ring would put you under
obligations to him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: "a IL 1t
considered proper or conventional
to write to an unknown soldier or
sailor?
90 If so, where could l obtain
the names of lonesome boys to
write to?
DOING HER BIT.
ID 1t is not conventional to
write to unknown soldiers and
sailors, but it is being done.
90 You could obtain names OF
boys through the Young Men S
Christian association who would
like to correspond.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: If Thank
You" of July 10th issue, cares to
correspond with girl s or years
his junior, I'd be willing to help
cheer one of "our boys" If he
will direct his letter to Country
Girl" I'm sure Mrs. Thompson will
forward his letter to me.
