Ously silly. You should be play

me to. Is it all right for girls to
go to church with boys at night? Is
it all right to ask them in to sup
per? Also. how late should they
stay at night?
What can I use to take freckles
off my face, as l have lots? Is it
proper to exchange rings or pictures?
Is it all right to go out walking on

boy?
How should I fix my lflAr, and
can L wear ribbon on it?
Say, is it all right for boy. to
give a crepe de chine handkerchief?
If so, what should I give him?
MARY FRANCIS G.
ANSWER-You should know
that it is not right to permit
boys to hug and kiss you. And
you are too young for sweet
hearts. You should not go with
just one boy-but with all the
young folks. 1t is perfectly prop
er to invite boys to supper-the
invitation should come from your
brother or sister. They should
not stay later than 10 o'clock.
Lemon juice, sour buttermilk

sistence and patience, will light
