DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
l am a girl of fifteen but most peo-
pie think 1 am sixteen or seventeen,
and am writing to you to ask your
advice on something that puzzles me
very much.
l live in a small town where there
are only few boys and girls and most
of these are from one to three years
older than myself, but some are my
age. / went to school with most of
them for two years, during which time
they all seemed not to care very much
for my company, although l have tried
to be pleasant and sociable with them.
/ then spent a year at !. boarding
school with three or four of my school,
mates. | am now a sophomore in high
school but am not physically able to
continue school this year and am at
home with my school friends but they
still have the same cold reserve that
do not understand.
| They never invite me to join in any
! of their fun and I would like to very
much if they only seemed to want my
company.
Also, Dear Annie Laurie, IL meet n
young man on the street should he
speak first or should /?

senior. He first goes with me and says
he cares for me a great lot and then he
will go out once in while with an

he cares for her. She is very jealous
of me. What should I do? Although
he goes out with her I'm not jealous.
Do you think he cares most for me?

Best authorities tell us that it is the
young woman who should speak first.
However, many times the young man
is cordial, he does not wait to be spok-
en- to. Many people do not adhere to
this rule. AS for your school friends.

may be waiting for you to be friendly

A HAPPY WIFE.


What a joy it is to have a letter tell
ing of such happiness. I envy you
that darling baby--and of course, in
your case, 1t is splendid to have been
married SO young and to have had the
comfort of the baby while your hus-
band had to be away. You are one of
the fortunate girls, that's ALL
A friend of mine found a ten dollar
gold piece the other day-but that's
no sign that everyone else may find
one. For every girl who marries at
sixteen and is happy there are hundreds
of girls and boys who marry so young
and who are not so happy, for they
marry before their characters and
tastes are developed and what pleased
at sixteen does not always please at
twenty.
My love to you, dear, and may YOU
be as happy at forty and sixty as you
are today. And may your husband be
home soon, safe and we'll!
