We are two girls coming to you
for advice.
I, the twenty-year-old, ann in love
with boy, but do not trust him.
Do you think if ! was to marry him him
/, the seventeen-year-old, have
been going with a boy fourteen
months younger than l. The only
thing 1 have against this boy is !
am the Oldest. What do you think?
MILDRED AND MILLICENT.
NSWER-You can't be hon
estly and truly in love with any
one you don't trust. Absolute
Grust-implicit faiths neces-
sary for love that endures. Miss
Seventeen should not go with
boys much younger than she is,
although there is no age limit for
friends.
1 am a girl fifteen years old.
love twenty-year-old boy more than
any boy L ever saw. How can l make
him love me? have known him
all. of my life.
What is horseradish root? Where
does it grow? How can L get boys
to come to see me-
ANSWER-A girl fifteen years
old is incapable of knowing real
love. A girl your age is in love
with love, and not with any par
ticular boy. You may not think
so, but few years from now
you will know l am right. There
is no way you can make"
boy love you-eXcept by being
sweet, unaffected little girl,
courteous to everybody, being
careful not to say ugly things
about any one else, and in every
way wholesome, lovable girl.
tiy1on have made
yourself over that way, life and
the world will be such a glori-
ously exciting thing that you
will have forgotten that you ever
fancied yourself in love with any
boy-for awhile at least.

reason for not writing that she
was too tired to write, although
she stated that she had been to the
show two nights during that time.
1t seems to me that she dldn

was anxious to know whether she
arrived home safely or not. Does
she care?
A SOLDIER BOY.
Answer: She did not mean to
be thoughtless / am sure. You
know there are times when one
is mentally, as well as physl-
cally tired, and then letter
writing, even to someone very
dear, seems an impossibility.
Going to a theater rests the
mind and body, so it is possible
to be too tired to write, yet not
too tired to seek recreation.
Besides, five days is not such a
very long time to wait. L would
not be too critical. You will
never be happy if you are always
quick to take offense at little
things.
1 am a girl of 20, am coming to
boy of thirty. L love him better than
any other boy and he seems to care
| for me, but he has never told me
SO. He has been coming to see me
| tor three years and he writes often.
| Do you think he really loves me?
What should [ say to him when he
cells me he loves me? Do you think
lie is too old for my husband? He
lever has much to say TO me. Is
this any sign that he cares for me?
Sammy.
ANSWER: If he has been so
faithful it is reasonable to sup
pose that he does care for you.
Perhaps he has some good rea-
son for waiting to tell you that
he loves you, and wants you for
mis- wife. And when he does say
that, if you really love him,
there'll be no necessity for an
outsider providing words for
you-your own heart will die
tate the answer. He is not too
old for you.
1 am girl Of sixteen years. Am
[ too young to have boy friends?
And would it be all right to be
sWeethearts with them? Is it all
right for girl to lei boy kiss
her if they are engaged a year
before they are married? Should
girl of my age make more than one
date at a time with boy?
Should a girl and boy kiss when
they meet when he returns, from
the army? When girl and boy
quarrel and the boy wants to come
back should the girl permit him?
Should a girl go with more than
one boy at the time.
MAMA'S LONELY GIRL.
Answer: Your mother could
answer your questions much
better than I, for she under
stands your circumstances. You
are too young for SWeetheartS,
you should not kiss boys, or
permit them any liberties such
as holding hands, and such.
You are too young to be en-
gagged, therefore, too young to
kiss boys. 1t all depends on the
reason for the quarrel and
whether or not the boy was to
blame. You will have to judge
for yourself whether or not he
is likely to offend you again.
