/ Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a
! girl of eighteen, doing stenography
l have been going with a man four
years my senior for the past two
years. l have never had more re-
gard for him than l have had in
the past year. Since he enlisted in
the army he looks so heroic and
manly in his uniform that l really
think l like him.
He says he loves me and wants to
marry me. 1 let him kiss me once
and now he wants to kiss me all the
time Is it wrong for him to kiss
me unless We are truly engaged?
How can l be sure l love him?
Don't you think if I refuse to let
him kiss me he will give me up?
DISTRESSED.
A girl should not kiss a man I'M
less she is engaged to him.
If you are in doubt about your
love for him, you may be sure your
regard is not love.
If he gives you up because you
will not kiss him, he does not love
you; he loves your kisses.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is
a farmer boy who lives close to me,
and also a city boy.
The city boys father is a big
merchant in town. The country
boys father is making a good living
and that is all. l love both boys,
but 1 love the country boy more
than I do the other
Please inform me what 1 should
do. MARTHA.
To chose a husband from ma
terfal standpoint brings about I'M
satisfactory results. The fathers
financial position should have moth
ing whatsoever to do with the case.
There is no reason why you should
not keep both the young men as
friends until you become engaged.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are
three very good friends, one bru-
nette and two blondes. We all
have many boy friends who admire
us, but they are not our social level.
They are willing to take us to
dances, but not to church or any re-
ligious services. What would you
advise us to do to attract the prop
er sort?
WINEUM, BLINKUM and NOD.
Go to the religious services you
seem to enjoy so much and in time
you will become acquainted with
the young men who attend. You
will find, I think, that men can be
of good character and social stand
ing if they refuse to attend church
and religious services with their
girl friends.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: If boy
insists on walking on the inside of
the walk, is it proper for a girl to
ask him to walk on the other side?
W. B. n.
In olden times it was necessary
for the man to walk on the outside
Of the walk in order to protect the
woman from robbers and other I'M
desirable characters. Now there is
little danger to the woman and so
the custom has outgrown it's use
OF course it is much more |
pleasant If the man observes the |
custom, but the woman should not |

Dear Mrs. Thompson: have |
been married just one year and six |
After we were married |
about six months my husband got |
so he would not stay in the house.
He started to go with other women.
How can I keep him in the house
with me? What would you do
with a man like that? H K Med.
The only way you can keep your
husband at home is to be little
more attractive and interesting
han the other women he seems to |
enjoy; to do this is the problem.
Be even more careful about your
than you were before
marriage. Never look dowdy when
le is at home. If you use kid
;urlers. for instance, put them on
Turing the day. Wear cheerful col
rs and up-to-date styles
