engagement A man who Is not more
loyal would make very poor husband.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-l am a girl 22
years old: have a boy friend but he
Isn't we'll and he can't work What
would you advise me e do2 va,
You and your mother might call at
his home to express your sympathy.
If his condition Is of permanent ma
ture give up all thought Of marrying
him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson went with
boy three or four months. We were
both OF the Same complexion and neat
the same age. He was very good to
me, but one evening he failed to come
and has never been with me since
felt very badly about It because !
thought lot Of him and he seemed , TO
really liked me or got tired of going
with met One OF my girl friends asked
me to take her home. This boy came
up and instead of walking In the middle
walked with her. Do you think that
was very manneriy? Do you think that
In my company Would you consider
her a friend7 POLLY.
Although the boy liked you for a
time he probably lost interest and de-
serted you for some other girl. There
is little you can do about it except to
forget him and become interested in
someone else. The boy should not have
walked in the middle. His place was
on the outside of the walk the. side
next the street The incident should
not reflect upon the girls friendship;
She could not govern the actions OF
the boy and if she had said anything
she would have showed poor judgment.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-When at a
dance what must a girl say II she
does not care to dance? Also. what
would you say If you are learning and
never have been on the floor before,
but want to 90 on? MAKE;
Say Thank you" and then, make
YOUR excuse. If you are not dancing
at all, tell him So Or if you are tired
and want to sit out that particular
dance, say. so. If you want to go on
fore, tell the boy who asks you that
YOU would like to dance but are AFRAID
to try 1t. If he cares to dance with
you under the circumstances he VIII
say so.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-WlIl you please
print a way to clean white felt hat?
Get a dry cleaner. probably refined
gasoline would do, and follow direc-
tons on the bottle. Be very sure mat
YOU do this in the open air or entirely
away from fire or flame OF any KIND.
Dear Mrs, Thompson--ShouIdt the boy
take hold Of the girls arm or should
she take his arm when walklns a,one
the street? OiMFLEo'
II is hardly necessary for boy to
take the girls arm, but may do so wnen
crossing crowded streets or TO GUIDE
her through a crowd, but not at other
times
