[ am coming to you for advice. 1
am a boy IA years of age. Am l old
enough to go with girls my age as
friends? When a girl comes to my
home what must [ say? Should she
or I speak first? How to get &C

versation first? Please print
THE ALTO BLOWER.
Alto Blower: [ suppose you
are old enough to have some girl
friends. By doing so you will
know how to act. There is no set
rule for conversation. l can't
tell you what to say because it
may not be the thing to say at
that particular time. Just so you
have politeness and act gentle
manly toward a girl. They are
the most essential things to have.
A girl generally speaks to boy
first when she meets him on the
street. In his home, naturally
he would speak first and welcome
her
Here comes a lonely boy in trouble
to you for advice. [ am in love with
am II years old and she seems like
she don't like me much. Tell me
what to do to make her love me. So
advise me right and l want this in
print, and print it just like [ write it,
and print my name, as L want her to
my counsin, John Allen Thoma son, on
farm. So good by.
MAXWELL THOMAS.
Max: You certainly are in
love, and it is too bad the young
lady won't return your affection.
But you are young yet, and per-
haps by the time you grow to be
a man she may have changed her
mind. They do say that perse-
verence conqueTs in the end, and
it may help you to know this. L
don't know of any prescription
that L can recommend which will
cause the young lady to love you:
But l will wish you success, if
you desire it.
Here comes a lonely girl of twenty
three summers to you for advice. l
am in love with one of my first cOu-
sins. He has asked me to marry him.
DO you think it nice to marry your
cousin? l told him l thought we
were too closely kin to marry. He
says he will never be happy without
me. and 1 am sure 1 love him bet
ter than any boy l ever saw. Al
though [ am going with another boy
l don't love him. This boy has been
coming to see me every Sunday for
about six months. He also has asked
me to marry him. [ didn't aim to
marry any one until | completed high
school. Please answer through the
journal.

/ suppose it is all right to mar
~ ones first cousin, but person
ally [ don't believe I could have
the courage. You may be very
happy. but it seems 10 me that
you are in rather a hurry. Why
don't you wait a while. You
may have as big a chance later,
and perhaps you will find man
YOU will love better. If l were
you l would keep on at school
anyhow a year or so longer. Edu-
cation is something you can keep.
And it is a very necessary factor
in ones life these days.
Dear Miss Mary I am a lonel>
lirI of seventeen, have blue eyes

of eighteen. He seems to think lot

often. ow often should a boy cal

girl let a boy see her comb hei
Qair and powder her face? Thank yo;
iOr all advice. l hope this will be
printed. LONELY JACK.
There is no set rule how often
a boy should call to see a girl.
The promptings of the heart arc
more often consulted than out
side advice. Generally a man fol-
lows the dictatings of his mind
in regard Glove. If he wants
to he will, and if he doesn't want
to, he wont, so there you are. 1t
