You are passing sthrough very
trying period of your existence. To
your mother no doubt. you seem as
little more. than a baby. girl, mothers
girl is getting big lady. You need
some recreation, your youth and
latent energy requires some outlet.
Unfortunately our conditional circum-
stances furnish nothing in the intel
lectual world. nothing In the athletic
field and still less in the church to
take up this youthful energy hence
much of II goes to waste in counting
and too close intimacy between boys
and girls. Mother knows the pitfalls
of this venture and only wishes to
save you. Don't think you know more
and better than mother and set out to

tainly be the chief sufferer and to her
you will return broken and bleeding;
have a series of parties in good homes
inviting schoolmates. Make up plays.
give debates and musicales. Those who
fail to respond, count as unworthy of
your interest. You still have plenty Of
time for individual counting and be-
ing escorted alone, when you are out
