MARY MEPEDITHS ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

am coming to you for advice. |
am a country girl. l am sixteen
years old, and weigh los pounds.
In. five feet and six inches high. L
am brunette.
l have boy friend that I love
very much. DO you think that I am
o!d enough to go with the boys as
friends? [ have been going with this
by a good while, and he seems to
think lots of me
What should a girl say when her
caller starts TO leave, if she wishes
him to come again?
He is twenty-three years old Do
you think I'm too young to go with
him?
"a GOOD LITTLE GIRL"
ANSWER: You ask whether
you are old enough to go with
boys as friends-and on the
heels of the statement that you
are in love with this boy. You
are old enough for boy-friends-
but not old enough to have
sweethearts.
If the caller wishes to come
back, he will ask if he may.
He should be the one to suggest
another call-not you.
You are not too young to have
a boy friend of twenty three
but you are too young to have a
sweetheart of any age.
am a girl of eighteen years. I
am in love with a boy of twenty
two I care more for him than l do
for any other boy, and he seems to
care for me, but he has disappointed
me several times. Why do you think
he does this? Should l stop him
from coming, or what should I say
to him when he comes after disap-
pointing me? What should a girl
say to a boy when he starts to
leave? Thanking you for advice.
SUE.
ANSWER-The next time the
boy asks to come to see you, de-
cline to make an engagement
with him. Do this two or three
times, and make him understand
that he cannot break engage
ments with you unless he has a
very, very good reason for do
ing so. If you once convince
him you cannot be treated SO
lightly, he will be more of
gentleman in the future.

He has asked me to marry him, and
