MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TOLONElY GIRLS AT HOME

He has asked me to marry him.
Should I marry him or wait until L
get older. Will thank you for ad-
vice. Hope to see this in print.
H. F. L.
ANSWER.-Of course, my adj
vice to you would be to have
you wait until you are older.
SO often girls marry very young
and regret it after they. become
older. We would scarcely choose
at thirty the same man we fam
cied at eighteen. That is why so
many people are unhappy who
marry so young. Lots of times
circumstances alter cases, and
it is often the best thing for a
girl to do-marry early. But
then again, as general rule, it
is best for boys and girls to wait
a while. Marriage means set
Ting down, and many privileges
are denied one after they are
married.
Dear Miss Mary: L am a girl of
nineteen summers coming to you for
advice. 1 am five feet eight inches
tall and am rather stout. I am con-
sidered good looking. Why is it the
boys don't like stout people? 1 go
to LSrties and have a good time with
the boys and several times they
come with me. love one boy dear
1y and he's been with me once or
twice. He is very friendly around
me and once he told me he loved me.
What can I do to wiz him back?
Why is it they don't like me? ]
grieve lots of times because I'm
stout and the boys won't go with me.
Please tell me what to do and how
to win thea?
Yours truly,
LONELY BROWN EYES.
Now If you were short and
stout I might see why the boys
wouldn't like you. Don't let your
super-abundance of flesh worry
you, for I know some very large
women who have very happily
married Be jolly, affable and
unseIfish. Give the best that's
in you to people, and I'm sure
you Will have equal returns. A
desire to please and making your
self gracious with out being
familiar, will win you friends.
And don't tatt1e-ksep other peo-
pies affairs to yourself. For
get that you ara stout and look
to YOUR diet more. Perhaps you
eat too many starchy foods and
don't take much exercise. Try
walking.
Dear Miss Meredith:
Here comes North Carolina girl
to YOU for advice. Please answer the
following questions through the At
Ianta Semi-W eekly Journal:
1-When at a party, playing tap
ring, and catch up in the ring be-
side a strange boy, which should be
first to start a conversation?
2-When at q party or any gath
ering and see boy whom have met
about a year ago, and he wouldn t
know me when seeing me unexpect-
ed, and if knew him, would 1t be all
right for me to speak first and make
myself known?
3.-Can any one take business
course during the summer at any
of the business colleges?
Very truly yours,
A. B.
When the guests arrive at the
party, Of course. they are intro
duced by hostess or should De.
And she Is responsible for the
character Of the guests she has
invited to her home. Conse-
quently she wouldn't introduce
you to any one whom she
thought would embarrass you.
SO it is small matter which one
starts conversation first
either boy or girl. Often at par
u ties h. asey wil4asee 'sarl lwfSHns q
he admires and he is likely to
find way to open conversation &
with her. It is perfectly proper ID.
to make yourself known to a boy
you have met before, and you are
positive he can't recall having
met you. Yes, you can take a
summer course at most any re-
liable business college. They
are open all year round.
