uISCuSSeu over IDoT6. IL dL any
time 1 can help you with my ad-
vice I shall be glad to do so.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young lady, a college graduate
and very undecided as to my fu-
ture.
1 have two very dear friends in
the army; both of them officers OF
the same rank-one in America
and one in France.
While in college l met Jimmie
and liked him very much. Soon
yielded to his pleadings and be-
came engaged to him. After col
lege we took up our separate voca-
lions in different towns
Then l met Bill and fell in love
with him. l broke my engagement
with Jimmie and promised to mar
~ Bill. A few months later he
sailed for France.
Not long afterward l accidental
ly met Jimmie. We were thrown
into each others society a great
deal, became friends again, and
almost unconsciously resumed our
former relations. The old feeling
seems stronger than ever today.
How shall 1 break the news to
Bill? Jimmie wants me to be mar
ried right away, as he will be dis
charged from service soon. Shall
1 do this or shall 1 wait and ex-
plain matters to Bill when he
comes home? PERPLEXED.
Write to Bill and eplain the sit
uation to him. II will not help
matters to wait until he returns
from France.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have
been going with two boys. l have
not tried to deceive either one of
them, but when 1 have been in the
company of one 1 have not men
toned the other. One evening l
had an engagement with one of
the boys and the other, not know
ing, dropped in to see me. did
not tell him about my engagement
and so before long the other came
and l had to entertain the two of
them. The one who came last only
STAYED about a half hour and then
went home. / did not hear from
him for about two weeks and so /
wrote a letter and explained that
I couldn't help the other boys be-
ing at my house. He did not even
answer my letter. What can l do,
as l care a great deal for the boy?
DISAPPOINTED.
There is nothing you can do.
Since the boy did not accept your
explanation you will have TO let
him go.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 81
years of age and 1 am going with
a girl who is the same age. She
seems to be in love with me and 1
care for he- only as a friend.
Please give me some advice about
what ! ought to do.
A FRIEND IN NEED.
Go with more than one girl and
then none OF them will have reason
to think that your intentions are
serious.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell
me of some exercises which VIII
develop my lower limbs. They are
small and not in proportion with
the rest of my body. VIII walk
ing help them? BETSY X.
Exercise helps to make the shape
of the body normal. Walking Will
help some, but it Will be better to
take gymnasium work. Besides
this, bowling, swimming and tennis
would be good.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are
two girls sixteen years old and
cute looking. We like to go to the
movies and dances did have good
times. We don't have boy friends
come to see us like the other girls
do Just once in great while we
have 3. Date. The boys are always
mocking what we say and do.
What is the reason? Do you sup
pose they think we are silly?
PALS.
The toys may think you are
silly. You seem to admire trifles
instead of important things. To be
cute looking" is not half so great
an asset as to be "homely but so
very Interesting"
DO not giggle when you are
with boys or make yourselves con-
spicuous by the way YOU act and
the things you say.
