MARY MEPEDITH,S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS at HOME

boy card to give him an invitation
to attend q party or something and
he doesn't come, nor answers, how
should I feel towards him? How
should / treat him while around him?
If he wants to come back to see
me should / let him? My brother
tells me that L haven't got any turn
to have friends; says 1 have never
had a friend in my life, but every
body that knows me seems to love
me or at least they appear to seem
that way. What shoulA L tell him
to make him stop telling me tnat?
OF course I know it isn't true, but
don't like to be talked to that
way. What is good for chapped
face and hands?
OF course you are old enough
to have callers. Your weight is
alright, too. A young man
ought to have sense enough to
leave in the evening after he has
spent two hours and a half at
girls home. She shouldn't
urge him to stay longer for the
reason that he will think more
of her.
When a man writes a letter
reason to believe he is a gen
tleman, write a note in reply
and invite him, if his presence
will be congenial to you.
Your brothers are just jollying
you along; don't pay any atten-
ton to them; you will display
good sense by ignoring them.
Kinds honey and almond
cream is the best 1 have tried for
chapped hands.
l wouldn't say anything to a
man if he didn't think we'll
enough of me to come and see
me after repeatedly calling me
up over the telephone. I think
he is trying to string you along
so the next time he starts a con-
Versation over phone tell him
you would prefer his not calling
you again.
am asking you for your advice
as [ am a widow so lonely in this
world by myself. Would it be better
TOR me to marry Or live alone? Am
forty-five years old, a little gray
dark eyes, weigh lis pounds, 5 feet
nigh. Can you tell me how / could
attract a nice wealthy man for a
journal. Thank you for your advice
DARK EYES.
If you are so lonely and feel
Respondent there is no reason
why you shouldn't get married.
1t depends largely how you feel
about it. [ cannot tell you how
to be attractive, you are old
enough to figure that out for
yourself. Wealthy men are scarce,
and if is nrpftV hard tn cant11ra
them, I've been told. But if you
have an idea in your head in
regard to any special one, the
only thing I can tell you to do
just dress up and look your best
and make a business of your in
ltentions, and trap him if you can.
| am coming to you for a bit OF
advice. 1 am engaged to a boy age
twenty. We will be twenty-one in
you think we are old enough to mar.
ry? l have been with several othe1
boys. He is my choice.
Since we have been engaged he
asked me to let him put his arm
around me, but L would not. Did
do right?
But would it be any harm If I lei
him put his arm around me? Please
answer my questions through the
Journal. Please print as soon as you
can.
Yours truly,
HAZEL EYES.
Hazel Eyes: If the young man
is your choice, and he is worthy
of your love, don't see any real
reason for you not marrying him.
If you are satisfied to give up
your liberty, and forego the
pleasures of a single girl. Re-
member, after you are married,
you will have to consult your
husbands wishes, even if you
haven't promised to "obey him"
Think 1T over, and if you are sat
isfied to do this, then marry. AS
for any love making" before
marriage, that is entirely from
your point of view, I can only say
this. Let your conscience be your
guide. However, the more re-
served you are, the more he will
respect and love you. '
