MARY MEREDITH:S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

lace Defore boys when should pc
boy? BLACK EYES.
ANSWER can't tell wheth-
er you are pretty or not, from
your description. And you sound
rather conceited in saying that
perhaps you only imagine it. 1t
isn't necessary for you to let
them known that you do not care
for them. At least not until
they say something about it.
No, you are not too old to
wear your hair as you say you
do. The length of your dresses
is all right No, it is not proper
to powder your nose before the
bows. The boy should be the
Oldest.
Would it be all right for a girl
to go as far as the porch with her
beau when he is leaving?
Is is proper for a couple or more
to sit on the, porch after sunfall?
There is boy who cares for me,
but I do rot care for him. HOW
can [ get rid of him without slight
| ing him or hurting his feelings?
Answer--It is quite proper for
you to walk to the porch with
your beau when he is leaving. .
Yes, it is proper for couple or
more to sit on the porch in the
there later than $50 or IL
o'clock at the latest.
am a boy of IS and coming to
YOU for advice. Do you think that
/ am too young to have sWeethearts?
l am very fond of having sweet
hearts. / have been going with.
girl of II and she seems to IKE
we go car-riding or to shows she
seems to like other boys better than
me. Please advise me how to make
her love me. 1 have been engaged
and intend to marry girl at 20
and the more I see this 19-year-
old girl the more l love her. Can
you tell me how to gain her love?
I am 10 years old, have light hair.
blue eyes and fair complexion.
What time shuld I go car-riding?
In the evening or after supper! How
late should l stay at night? Do you
| think that it would be all right for
me to kiss my 17-year-old girl good
night. Hoping to hear from you.
"DADDIES BABY
Answer: Yes, you are too
young for sW wee carts tn HaY We
make love" until you are old
enough to know what love
means. Why. not stop trying to
make girls love you, and just
be good friends? After all, that's
girl. You shouldn't stay later
than 10 o'clock, when you are
calling, nor should you stay out
later than that when yor are
car-riding at night. No, you
should not kiss your girl good
night. Young people should not
make love at your age.
am a girl of sixteen years of
age, and am in love with a boy of
twenty-hiX years of age. He seems
to love me better and better every
time he comes to see me. He never
| except me. He has been coming to
see me and has been writing to me
for nearly year. By him not 60
ing with any other girl except me.
does that prove that he loves me?
Would it be any harm for him to
lots of beautiful flowers. Would it
be any harm to let him kiss me
before we are engaged? or put his
arm around me. Would it be all right
for me to go out with him alone at
night? A lot of boys have come to
see me and to take me out to ride,
but 1 have refused them all on ac-
count of this one boy wouldn't go
with any other. Did I do right? He
has asked me several times did love
him.. and I would tell him never
mind about that. Did I give him
nice answer or not? AS he wants one
of my pictures should 1 give him
one? Should L ask him for his? If SO
how should L arrange my words?
l will till the end of my life sign
the name he gives me.
PRUDENCE.
ANSWERING fact that he
goes with no other girl would
seem to indicate that he really
loves you. You are very young,
however, to be in love. From
your letter, he seems to be-
have himself beautifully. No,
1 would not permit him to give
me jewelry until we were en-
gagged. Nor to kiss me. You
might give him one of your pic
lures, and accept one of his. [
am sure he will offer it, and if
he doesn't, you may ask him for
it.
L am a girl of ii years old, and
have boy friend age 80 years. He
has asked me to marry him. Must l
do so or not? 1 love him dearly, and
he says he loves me. He comes to
see me nearly every Sunday. Do
you think he cares for me. He don't
want me to go with any one else.
Must 1 do that way, or go ahead
with other boys? He has always
treated me nice. I dropped him once,
but he came on back the same. An
other girl tried to break us up. so
please give me your advice. l.. w.
ANSWER: You are much too
young to know real love, so let
this man go. He is much too old
for you. Go with other boys and
girls and have good time. -
