MA:<Y Mt PEDI7G[S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

hair, with a ribbon, or a barrette,
and let it hang down. White,

to continue school, for a good ed
ucation is something that can
never be overrated. Stick to
school until you finish, working
as clerk in vacation time, if
that is possible. No, L wouldn't
send my picture to a boy-unless
you are engaged to him.
We are two girls, aged twelve and
thirteen. We are very fond of the
boys but most of them do not like
us. A boy aged fourteen asked me
and a boy aged fifteen has asked me
(the thirteen-year-oldD to marry him.
DO you think we are too young TO
marry? If so, how long should we
wait, as we are very anxious to
marry. They hug and kiss us.

"Answer-Girls your age should
books and playtimes, and this
foolish marrying business should
be entirely put aside until you
are old. A child twelve years old
knows nothing of life, and if you
marry now, you can look forward
to nothing but long life Of un-
happiness-for it is not possible

are too young to marrY-at least
eight years too young!
am coming to you for advice. I
am Florida girl of sixteen and
have been going with a boy eight
cen. He says he loves me dearly and
has asked me to marry him. I told
him to wait until I was eighteen, but
he won't wait that long. What would
you advise me to do? He has been
to see me twice. He lives about fifty
ing him for a year. Do you think
that is long enough for us to be en-
gagged? We are not engaged, but he
doesn't want me to talk to other
boys. Is is right for me to talk to
other boys or just give up all others
for him? Is it right for a girl to let
boys kiss her?

isn't quite sure about the fine points
of the work. Here is a hint or two

Then work the design through the
