They TeIephoned Him

Dear Cynthia-We are four girls Of
fifteen and sixteen and are very good
friends with the boys of our acquaint-
ance.
We allow no sentimental talk or
actions, but are just good friends with
them.
We do not allow them to call us up
on the telephone unless It Is absolutely
important; and we never call them up.
But one time we had something OF i'm
portance to say to one Of them and we
could not wait until we saw them to
tell them. and to write would be just
as bad. so We decided that for once
we would call.
Well he didn't answer, but his sister
in-law did She told us that we should
not call boy on the phone at his home,
and we asked her II 1t was right for US
to call him up otherwise than at his
home : that as we saw no harm In speak
ing to him only once on the phone wa
were not ashamed to call at his home.
Were we or was she right? Also let
age to &c out with boys of seventeen II
we are properly chaperoned.
CURLY AND BoBs.
Do not get a wrong idea about right
and wrong
There Is nothing wrong In calling a
boy on the telephone. II Is the running
after a boy, seeking him out, that is
always mistake and rct conventional: !:
but even that Is not wrong. 1t Is a
mistake to call them unnecessarily, but
| in the case you speak of there seems
| to have been no reason why you should
not call. Boys and girls of fifteen, six
| teen and seventeen are generally very
congenial friends.

we never meet socially. I go out in my
car nearly every night and enjoy Il
Immensely, but I go alone in a seven
passenger car.
Now It seems to me that there mus
be a lot OF people here who would like
to ride with me but how is one to finc
out who they are or meet them? I could
lust as we'll take a carload out as not
but It seems I am doomed to ride alone
can enjoy myself alone. but Others
might enjoy going, and when one hat

of them could not go, too.
There are others who travel the high
ways who are. I'm sure, willing to shar,
their cars and pleasures occasionally
with people OF the right sort. How abou
