MARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

I am a girl, nineteen years of age
coming to you for advice. I am blue
eyed, black-headed, fair complexion
five feet four inches. How lont
should wear my dresses?
Do you think l am too young To-
boy friends? I am going with DO!
aged twenty-five years. He is a mic
boy. He has but one failing-that Il
he don't like work any too we'll.
He seems to be in love with m
very much. He has been just as tru
to me as the day is long, but m!
parents object to him coming. Wha
must I do? I am not in low,
with him so very much.
Is there any harm in giving rool
Is it any harm for me to talk t
my school teacher as a friend whel
1 am not to blame?
What should L say when a boy
passes a compliment on me?
What must I do? There are hvt
children in family. I obey better thar
any Of them and they all seem to b,
against mo and don't want to buy
ME anything. What must I do?
Give me a good remedy fo
asthma. I have stayed too long, bu
l am in trouble.
BLUE EYES MAY.
Dresses are worn shorter this
season than they were last.
About eight or nine inches from
the floor Is a good length. If you
are not considering the young
man seriously, perhaps your par
ents will get over their dislike
for him. II he doesn't like to
work, my advice to you is not
to marry him. A man who hasn't
any ambition or energy to work
makes sorry husband. There
is no harm in rock parties.
There is no harm in your talk
ing to your school teacher on
purely a friendly basis, but there
is harm in an intimate CONVEX
sation. Young girls can't be too
particular. Compliments when
given should be Acknowledged
with polite thank you,'
whether they are said sincerely
or not. Perhaps you are to
blame for the attitude your fam
lily have toward you. Vanity
often leads to destruction.
wouldn't let my mind dwell too
much on the question of clothes.
Perhaps your parents have rea-
sons for not buying you more.
Try to be contented with your
lot, and the future may bring
to you better things. Asthma is
very hard to cure. I don't know
Of anything that will help you.
Better see a physician.
We are two lonely girls coming to
oh
ages twenty-one and fourteen. I,
the twenty one-year-old, am going
with a boy, twenty-three. He comes
to see me once a month. He says he
loves me, though I don't believe 1t.
Is 1t any harm to go car driving
with the boys in afternoons. Is
there any harm in a boy giving a
girl watch bracelet? /. the four
teen-year-old, am in love with a boy
aged eighteen. He says he loves me
dearly, that he never will be happy
without me. He comes to see me
about every two weeks. LIS there any
harm for him to give me chocolate
candy? How late should be stay at
Please advise us; we are two lonely
girls.
LONESOME BLOSSOM.
If. the young man says he
loves you, you must believe what
he says until he proves to you he
Is false. To believe in people
makes them believe in you. There
isn't any harm in going motor
ing in the afternoon, provided
you don't go too far; of course.
young boys and girls should have
a chaperon If they are going on
long drives. I don't think it is
very nice for young girls to ac-
cept jewelry from men. But
sometimes circumstanc alter
cases. There isn't any harm in
young man giving you an oc-
