HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: If two
couples go out to the show if one of
the boys does not suggest going to a
drug store would it be all right for one
of the girls to mention it J.?
If boy calls at the home of a girl
and does not ask her to go out any
where would it be all right for the
girl to suggest going out some place?
PUK.
The girl should not mention it be-
cause it is the boys place.
She should not suggest going out.
If I've had wanted to go somewhere
instead of calling he would have sug-
gested doing so.
Dear Mrs. Thompson Cd How
long sll Juld a girl wear an engage
nent ring before she is married?
go If a girl is engaged is it all
right for her to hold on to the arm
of the boy to whom she is engaged?

boy il she is not a little jealous of
him? DOT.
Cd A girl can wear an engage
ment ring from the time she is en-
gagged until she is married or the en-
gagement Is broken.
ca She has the right, but it looks
better nowadays for the man to take
the girls arm.

being jealous. Her faith is too 81 eat
to permit Jealousy.

teacher. 1 have taken piano lessons
about eight years and have also gone
to a school of music. Will you
please advise me how to get pupils?

by putting a. sign at the side of your
front door reading plano Lessons"
Get a good sign such as doctors use.
Tell your friends that you are giving

pills. 1t would also pay to call at
homes where there are children of

MRS w.
! If your health will permit you to
work every day it seems to me that
you ought to be able to do house
work, especially if you had help for
| the heavier work or some of the new
devices for making work easier The
saying is true that no house Is big
| enough for two families. The money
/ you have earned ought to be enough
i to pay for any help you might need.
! The strain If living under the condi-
| tions you do does not tend to improve
your health.
