He processes to love my chum but
saysdn the same breath that he must
marry a woman with social prestige,
She is cut up about the affair and is
one of these clinging- vine women who
insist upon clinging even though they
aren't particularly wanted. I've talked
TO her about pride, etc, and the words
were wasted so Tn coming to you in
hopes you will suggest something prac-

may tell her which will work Thank

Your chum is simply type that lives

Of her kind, and it all depends upon
her as to whether or not she marries
the man, OF course you and | can't
see for the life of us why she would
consider him, but that's her. business,
not ours
To begin with she will have to work
hard, but it's her only chance. She
must make herself desirable. l don't
mean in looks only, but in position and
sense. First don't resign. Have her
stick to the job and be pleasant, but
state emphatically that the love affair
is off" and that "she has decided that
he IS right, that they could never

wise her to go along mlnding the work
that he gives her and learning all that
she can about the entire office bust

depended upon and then resign. A
man always wants what he can not
get.

Dear Mrs. Thompson am a girl %
years old and considered good looking.
| am of Swedish nationality, but people
/ meet rather think | am French, as |
am dark and Of the piquant type.
| have not many friends here and the
people | have met in general have moth
ing to talk about but their social gath
erings, their homes, babies and a big
quantity of gossip. AS such doesn't in
terest me, they think / am proud.
Please tell me some way to over
come this stranger" feeling, as it
makes me very unhappy. 4

and have the ambition to learn some
artistic line of work. Could you please
suggest something that would be mex

profitable and interesting? Please tell

hapE you are too much absorbed in your
own interests and should enter into the
affairs of other people more. Study
your associates. When mother tells
you about a sick infant, remember and
the nsxt time you see her ask her how
make friends for you.
The arts are, not remunerative. can
not suggest any that would be easy to
learn and would assure a good living.
If you feel a strong urge to become an
actress and think you could be a Sue
cess, you could probably make good
living in that way. Remember, how
ever, that character should come first.
Do not choose any profession where you
are not sure your character would stand
the test of temptations.
1t would probably be advisable to try
to get into moving pictures. Look
through movie magazine and decide
which company would suit you best.
Probably you would prefer one near
home.
Swedish people are so successful as
nurses that it might be a good plan to
enter a hospital and train.
Dear Mrs Thompson am girl all
most H. Recently I received a letter
from a fellow who goes to school in an
other city He is much older than
am, but | think great deal Of him.
Do you think it would be all right to
answer the letter?
He lives in my home town and has
taken me home twice while he was here
on visit. ANXIOUS.
A correspondence would be a good
thing because it would teach you to
express yourself in writing l think,
however, you should talk this matter
over with your mother If she is will
ing that you should write to the young
man, do So Let her read his letters
and yours. There is much opportunity
for iEdiscretion in letter writing and it
woLld be we'll for you to let an older
person advise you lest you put into
black and white what you would regret
later.
"Petutz"-Do not marry either of the
boys, Since you find the country lone
ly and are city bred, you would bring
unhappiness to yourself and to the man
you married. At the age of 20 you do
not need to worry about marriage. En-
JOY young men ana trust that later the
right one will come into your life and
be known by your love for him.
Dear Mrs Thompson: viii 1t be all
rsht for me to ask a young man friend
to accompany me to a wedding He
wasn't invited, but can't very well go
unescorted BUENA.
Unless the wedding is to be very quiet
with only the fewest friends possible
present, it will be all right In case
il is a large affair either at church
or at home, it will not make the slight
est difference to the bride, bridegroom
or to your attendant,

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you ap-
prove Of the jazz dances? WILLIAM.
In moderation. yes, if one dances
