YOU cannot expect your boy

when you have let him see that
you are jealous. Perhaps he
didn't care anything at all for
the other girl but wanted to see
if he could make you jealous.
Should you have the opportunity
to see him again ask him to call
to see you some evening. Or
you might send him a picture
post card with a line or two
about the picture printed on 1t,
and he will readily see that you
are thinking of him, and If he
has any love for you, and wish
es to renew the friendship, he
really will write to you.

Atlanta Tri-Weekly Journal.
Here comes a lonely girl for ad-
vice. I am fifteen years old. Am
old enough to go with the boys! Is
for me to go with? Should l let a
how kiss my hand? If not, what
should I say to him when he tries
to? Should I go car riding with
boy alone? Well, I will describe my
self: I have brown eyes, black 4 ha1T,
I am pretty? Some people tell me L
am. What should I say to them
when they tell me so? Thank you
for your advice. Hoping to see THIS
in print, A LONELY Girl.
A Lonely Girl: Your sweet
heart is old enough to nave nave
some sense. But even at that
I think he is rather old for you.
You are still child. and it is
better to go with a boy more
suitable to your age. The older
ones put foolish notions in
young girls head. Kissing a
iady's hand, in the olden days,
was done by the gallant MOBILES
of the French COURT, by the
upper classes in English and
American society. But it is
thing of the past, except between
lovers, and there are only a few
who would bother with hand
when girls lips are offered
But be careful and do not in
dulge in such dangerous sport.
I do not think it a wise thing
for girl to go automobile
driving after dark with young
man alone. If you are consid-
cred pretty, do not spoil 1t by
being vain. Forget your looks
after you leave YOU, room. 1 AND ,
saw s"Thank you, it is nice of
you to pay me such compli-
ment."

Many Voters May Be
Barred in Primary.
Delay Is Dangerous

While 20,212 citizens of Rich
rnond paid poll taxes this year,
a surprisingly large number of
them have failed to complete
their qualification as voters by
registering as required by law.
Unless this duty is attended to
before election day, April 6, Il Is
probably the vote in the primary
will be materially less than the
poll tax payments would indicate.
Registration may be made at
the polls. but this inevitably
leads TO confusion and delay.
To be registered one must
furnish his poi1 tax receipts and
have himself identified as the
person named ON the receipts un-
less he Is personally known to
the registrar. In addition TO
this he must write out his appli-
cation in his own hand If there
are hundreds OF men who have
put off their registration until the
