MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS At HOME

had sweetheart yet. Do you think
L am old enough for them? I went
to see one of my friends-a boy came
home with me: 1t was the first time
had ever met him. He seems to be a
nice boy, has lots of manners. He
only stayed an hour. There were
some other boys here when we came.
They began making fun Of him be-
fore he came in the house, and when
I don't know whether they were jok-
ing or not. He didn't take it for a
joke. Do you think that would keep
him from coming again or make him
think less of me? I'm so sorry they
did it. He got one of my pictures.
I didn't give it to him Is there any
harm in boy getting a girls picture
in that way?
P. S. Answer me through The
Journal as early as possible.
Thank you,
Lovingly.
syble:
1 think you are old enough to
go with young men. 1t was very
rude and ill-mannered in those
other young men to poke fun at
your caller. He certainly was
justified in getting angry with
them to be insulted before you.
You couldn't expect anything
else from him, could you? You
should have called the offenders
down, they were in your home,
and they didn't treat you with
the proper respect. 1t made no
difference, If they might have
had a laugh" coming 1t was
very rude. I should think the
young man would feel a hest
fancy about calling on you again,
if he feels the least sensitive.
He really should have asked
you for picture, but if he stole
it you can ask him to return it.
Use your own judgment about
that. 1t depends on his charac-
ter and whether you think you
would prefer his keeping your
picture or not.

quantity of the fluid at fashion

more, where she is employed as a
maid.
Miss Schlotterbeck Is at Frank
lin Square Hospital there. Physi-
clans are making every effort to
counteract the effects of the pois-
oning and prevent the young wom-

is the only thing feared by the
doctors. as 1t is thought that the
danger of her losing her life Is re-

Mystery surrounds the case. Miss
Schlotterbeck did not intimate TO
anyone that she intended to end
her life. and it is thought that she
drank the alcohol by mistake. She
had been unconscious for several
hours when found in her room.
