Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young girl 10 years old and have
been keeping company with young
man my own age.
We have always got along very
nicely until I met another young
man at a dance one evening and
he had a couple of dances with me
which made my friend jealous.
After that whenever I met this
other young man at a dance he al
ways had a few dances with me, of
which my friend did not approve
He said he just did it to make him
Jealous So he started dancing
with a girl that he knew 1 did not
care for, but he just did it to make
me jealous, which was not the case
with me.
Kindly advise me if it would be
proper for me to stop dancing with
my new acquaintance to suit my
own friend? ANN.
If you think that your new ac-
quaintance is dancing with you to
make your other friend jealous. do
not dance with him. But in case he
is dancing with you because he en-
joys you and your dancing, which is
probably true, you should not have
to give him up. Talk to your old
friend and tell him that you are not
doing it to make him jealous and
that he has no reason to be jealous.
If he is at all big-minded he will
not ask you to give up dancing with
the other boy.
You are too young to go exclu-
sfvely with one boy and so ! think
you should do whatever you want
to in this matter. If you dance with
the new acquaintance there is
chance of course that your old
friend will give you up. One who
would do anything so petty, how
ever, would not prove a good friend.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have been
keeping company with young mau
for almost a year and am dearly
in love with him. l think he re-
turns the love l give him. In fact
he told me l was the only girl he
cared for. Although l have heard
him speak of other girls, know for
a positive fact that he does not go
with any of them. Still / am very
Jealous of him because ] know q
couple of girls who are just rs
much in love with him as l am He
told me he only cared for them as
acquaiptances.
He made me promise 1 would not
60 with any other fellows and few
other little remarks he has made
make me believe he is Jealous of
me.
Then at times he acts so queer he
makes me feel as though he docs
not care for me. l feel like telling
him | do not care TO see him again
but / love him so much l cannot
bear to lose him.
What shall 1 do? am very much
grieved and puzzled over him. l
am 10 and so is he.

You worry too much about the
boys attitude toward you. You
may be sure that he cares for you
or he would not go with You exclu-
siyely. Hold the thought that he
is really as much afraid of losing
you as you are him. When he acts
queer attribute II TO MS IuOOu ana
age. Young men are always CIV
ing girls heartaches, while older
men are more steadfast and reason
able.
The very fact that the other girls
love him would keep him from car
ing for them. Never say unpleas-
ant things about them to him or
give him reason to know that you
are jealous.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l go with
q fellow to whom am engaged and
/ am sure he loves me, but some
times l wonder If he respects me.
do not want his love if / cannot
have his respect too. Is there any
way / can test him to find out, with
out his knowing l am doing so?

If you are at all analytical you
should be able to Judge how much
the man respects you by the ma
