am a girl of nineteen. I am In
love with boy of .twenty-four. He
saws he loves me but he never calls
on me. He often asks me to kiss
him and will not. Is this. right;
once he asked me to kiss him and
I refused to do so, and he said | was
the only girl that he ever loved and
that was the reason he asked me to
kiss him. Do you think that he
loves me? If not, please advise me
what to do. Am I too young to
marry? Is it correct to hand boy
his hat? Is it wrong to ask a boy
to sit by you? What kind of suit
would be proper for a wedding suit?
Would it be all right to go with boys
younger than I? There is a boy
who tries to come to see me and
do not care for him at all. What
must do to get rid of him? 1 thank
you very much.
ANSWER: No, you did quite
right in refusing to kiss the boy.
Nice girls should not permit
boys to, kiss them unless they
are enga ged to them. If he
really loves you, he will respect
you and love you more. And If
bound to respect you for your
refusal. You are not too young
to marry You may, if you like,
hand the boy his hat when he is n
ready to go. I'd let the boy ask
to sit by me, instead. A dark
match, is the most popular for
this purpose, though you may
choose a lighter color if you pre-
fer, a soft gray, or tan, or white
broadcloth would be lovely.
Simply tell the boy that you
have an engagement whenever
he asks to call. Treat him cool
ly, refuse to allow him to call,
and accept no favors from him.
And I don't think he will bother
you long.

What must l do to win his affection
NOD.
ANSWER You are too young
for sweethearts and love af-
fairs, though you are not too
young for boy friends. Simply
make up your mind that you do
not care about this boy-go out
with girls and boys, and have
good time. Forget him utterly
it will be easy if you once
make up your mind to it. 1 am
sure you have too much pride
to care about a boy who has be-
haved so badly. If he is the sort
of boy you have to kiss to keep
in a good humor, 1 would let
him go. You are too young tC
know what real love is.
