TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

1 dIl dIlOIIlSL loIlOly III SO1illilS ~
you for a bit of advice. 1 am l.
years old and am in love with a boy
| Is. I have been going with him
years. He says he loves me very
dearly and can never be happy with
| out me. He is a wealthy boy anC
| his people seem to think the world Of
| me. There is another boy who is
| 20. He comes to see me sometimes
| He also says he can never be happy
! without me. He is a poor boy, bu
| is of a real nice family. My people
| like him best, but l can't love him as
we'll as the other one and what would
you advise me to do? Marry to suit
them or myself? Is it nice for g
girl to go to movies or anywhere Al
night with a boy without another
couple? Should girl ask boy into
her home at night after returning
from entertainments? Is there any
harm for a girl to accept chocolate
candy from a boy?
Thankin you very much,
Your friend,
"BLACK EYES"
Wealth doesn't always bring
happiness, love counts more than
anything else in the world And
when folks marry it takes a lot
of loving to keep them together
when the storms appear. 1t can
not be one-sided affair and have
good results. When a woman
loves man, she will come pref
ty near doing right always, for
his sake. And the same for the
man. Divorces come not into the
home of couples who really love
each other, so whatever you do,
marry for love and be certain
the boy loves you. happen to
know a few women who married
for the luXuries their husbands
could give them; they are selfish
and hard, and don't care for lit
tie children. All they want to do
is "gad." They get into mischief
because they are unhappy. and
wind up by making another Wom-
an miserable on account OF their
flirtations with the other wom-
ans husband. So you see if they
hadn't been so selfish and mer-
cenary, and had married a man
they loved, they would be hap
pier, and more contented. So
take my advice and marry the
man you love, but wait while
longer, you are too young to
think of matrimony yet.
1t is all right to go to the
movies with young man in the
evening without another couple.
If the hour is late 1T is not prop
er to ask young man indoors.
1t depends upon the hour. 1t is
proper to accept candy from
boy.
Here I come to you for advice.
am a girl of sixteen and married. l
married man of twenty-five, when
counting he was always very nice, al
ways mannerly, but very jealous.
Since we married it seems that l
can never please him even if 1 do
the things he tells me. He is never
pleased, he always says that l
Shout know what to do and If do
what I think best he still finds fault.
If his business affairs go wrong ne
will snap me up at every word
say and even beat me.
He is just too mean to live. l can
put up with everything he does very
near, except beating. me. I am just
not able to stand that. Please
answer this: What will turn red
hair dark?
What style should married ladies
wear their middies?
WORRIED: The trouble with
your husband he is tired of you.
He is tired Of the responsibility
some. And he is taking his
spite out on you. He married
you expecting you to have the
sense an Judgment of Mrs.
Solomon, and he did not realize
p bif1 too ar late Wf fs is Dp not
take his beatings, leave him, go
home if you possibly can, or Try
to get a job and go to work for
your self. But don't lose your
self respect by living with a
brute. A man who will beat on
a woman ought to be cow-hided.
Any woman is an imbecile to al
low it. He will have no respect
for you at all if you will per-
nit it. This is not the age of
the ''cave man."
Don't go putting anything on
your hair to turn it dark-,you
will ruin it. Red hair is pretty.
I cannot tell you how to wear a
MILDLY suit, you will have to
figure it out for yourself.
I am to be married shortly and
want my trousseau to be as inexpen-
sive as possible, SO must buy wisely.
/ am undecided about some Of the
things I shall need and having no
mother to advise me, am begging you
TO come with your excellent taste,
to my aid.
1t being midsummer, I hardly
know the kind Of dress to use while
We do not intend taking an ex-
tended tour, but will go only about
