Two Girls.

Two Girls.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
am writing to you in hopes of your
being able to solve my problem. /
am 10 years old and have been in
the habit of taking two different
girls to the shows and dance. Last
night the mother of one of the girls
told me that l would have to stop
coming up to see her daughter for
the reason that I was taking this
other girl to the shows and dances
and the only way could keep COM
pany with her daughter was to stop
taking the other girl out.
Now, they are both nice girls, and
I don't know which one / like the
best. HARRY B.
see nothing for you to do but
accept the ultimatum Of the mother,
though to me she seems unwise in
trying to give matters serious turn.
1t is quite all right for boy to go
with two girls either at the same
time, or at different times, so long
as he is fair to each of them and
obligated to neither. / cannot de-
eide for you which girl you like
best, but, knowing the attitude Of
the mother you mention, 1 would
not go with her daughter exclusive
ly unless very positive about prefer
ing her. The mother Is forcing you
to take a definite stand, and your
decision will appear serious to her.
If you wish to be heart free, and you
should at your age, you'd better
drop ner daughter for the present
at least

Etiquette.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I
am a girl of 20. / would like to
know just how far person may or
should allow business to form
acquaintance. There is a young
man in this town whom I would
like to know. We had converse
ton on business. but I have never
had an Introduction to him. / know
his parents quite well. Do you
think / ought to speak to him when
] meet him, or should l wait for an
Introduction? Is it proper for a
girl to stand outside the door and
talk few minutes to her escort il
1t Is near midnight?
A BLONDE.
People in business speak to each
other without the formality of an
introduction, providing they meet
often enough to warrant it. One
business conversation would not be
sufficient basis for claim to an
acquaintance. You should wait for
met the young man in question a
few more times. The fact that you
know the mans parents well makes
your position stronger than it would
otherwise be. You should indulge
in very limited conversations out
side the door at midnight. If con-
versation is necessary, invite your
escort inside. Otherwise polite
adieu should suffice.
A Lonesome Man.

If some one is interested in max

to me, shall let you know. You
seem to be devout Catholic. Why
not tell your priest what you have
told me. He may know of some one
in your own city to whom he will
