Dear Mrs., Th6mpson-Will you
please give me some advice? / am
q young girl Of 16 and have been
going with fellows ever since was
Is. l am considered quite lady
like and nice, but when go with
. boy he never tries to make . date
with me. ! really do not know
why as am rather pretty. Please
do not think / am self conceited but
! Just said It 20 would not think the
reason they did not 60 with me was
that I was ugly. I always try to
be interesting and am always q
good listener and am ready to COM
fort any one in trouble. The other
evening my friend came to see me
and got angry because / wouldn't
let him kiss me, although I had
done So other times. When he was
leaving he said, Its too bad we
can't agree" and I told him W
could so far as agreeing went.
Then he asked me II l was going ia
kiss him goodnight and l told him
yes. He always tells me he will
be up through another fellow who ]
know well. Whist should ! say when
he does this? MAGDALENE.
My dear child. you should never
have given in after you had once
stated that you would not allow
the young man to kiss you. Prob
ably he was merely testing you
when he asked for lie goodnight
kiss, for men and boys have the
habit Of seeing what = girl will al
low when they are forming their
opinions Of them and getting &C.
quainted with them. You are both
too young Of course to he thinking
about kissing. Your Relationship
with boys should only be pure
wholesome comradeship and you
should not be allowed to be to.
gether where you have an oppor'
l.tunity to pretend to be lovers at all
The boy probably does not care
much whether he come to see yor
or not, otherwise he would take
enough interest to ask you himself
whether or not he could see you
Don't allow the boy to Le familial
with you. Whether you believe i
or not, it does not pay in the lohG
/ run. And too, Magdalene, men ant
boys do not like too much sym
patty. II is all right to show then
that you realize what they are SUI
fering but do not be overly sympa
thetic. You asked for advice ant
this is quite cruel. but I am SUR
lii you follow it that you viii b.
better liked by all in the end.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: In a re
cent paper there was an article
