1t seems odd he hasn't told
you how old he is. If you really
want to know bring up the ques-
ton of ages some time and Incl
dentally tell him he looks
younger than you suppose he is.
Flatter him a wee bit if you know
how. Most girls know how, long
before they know anything else.
I suppose they inherit that little
failing from Mother Eve" If
the boy is a gentleman and has
no bad habits I can't see why
Often-times girls think they are
badly abused and resent any good
advice given by their elders, but
it often turns out that parents
are right. Find out all you can
about him and if you are sure
he is the right sort then try to
get your parents to like him.

1t is not right for par
ents to keep a young daugh-
ter tied down at home too close
ly. 1t makes them dissatisfied
and they get to brooding over
parents know their little daugh-
ter has broken the traces and
done something exceedingly
foolish. So the wisest course to
take, they should make home life
livable for the daughter. A girls
home life should be the happiest.
Parents can't expect their chill
dren to want to stay from the
pleasures that belong to youth.
1t is the most natural impulse
in the world for every girl and
boy to want to have good times.
1 am not a fortune teller, and
don't pretend to tell the girls
and boys what to do, except to
give each one the best advice of
which 1 am capable. But l do
say this. Girls, if you want to
marry, don't let the young men
who come to see you take too
many liberties with you. Be
sure you love, then let them see
how noble and lofty your mind
is. This doesn't mean you can't
be jolly and full of fun. At the
same time always be a lady and
you will never have any regrets.
