less of me for letting him kiss
from kissing me, as he loves +
with me?
Unless you are engaged to be marie
in a short time you should not permit
the boy to kiss you. If he can not help
kissing you. is that any reason why
you should allow him to mink he can
do so whenever 1t pleases him? You
boy may be sincerely In love with you,
but even If he is. that fact does not
give him the right to kiss you. Take
my advice at once and put stop to
this kissing If the boy gets angry,
then he isn't the right sort of boy,
and you might tell him that, too.
Dear Mrs. Thompson-We are TIVE

nice Christmas gift for a boy7 Do
you think girls our ages know. what

Fifteen is not old enough to go with
boys. Sixteen may be old enough, but
unless you know where to draw the
line between being friendly and social
and being too free in conduct you
should wait another year or two before
going out with boys. 1t all depends on
the girl. If she know nothing of MAX
ing a home, cooking, sewing and clean
ing she should walt until she does II
she is proficient in these things and
is willing to give up few OF the
things that she's considers so necessary
TO her pleasure, such as going 70
dances, shows and lying in bed well
UP in the day, then she stands good
chance of becoming the real helpmate
every right thinking man wants and
has a right to expect. Hand made

Dear Mrs. Thompson--I am worried
about my husband. He Is very sensi-
tive and If anything upsets him at the
table he has to stop eating and 90 INTO
another room, Sometimes he takes
dislike to some food | am serving and
that affects him in the same way. ne
Is not in exceptionally mood health and
therefore | feel that It Is necessary to
have him eat good meals. 1t does no
good to say | am sorry or to urge him
TO come to the next meal. He lasts
for two or three meals until his nerves
have auieted enough so that he thinks
he will digest his food. what can
do 70 induce him to eat1
You are spelling your husband with
too much consideration. OF course,
care should be taken not to bring up
unpleasant things during the meal.
When he is irritable and becomes angry
at no fault OF yours, let him go and
stay away from meals until he Is so
hungry that he comes back without
urging from you. Probably you flat
ter, but at the same time irritate him
further when you try to bring about
peace. Ill health is very often the re-
suit of a disagreeabe disposition,

There is nothing to be done about

sister, We had been brought up to-
Gether and were both married. She
died Of pneumonia. What mourning
would be appropriate? G. M. /.
1t would be perfectly proper 20 wear
mourning for stepsister, but hardly
necessary. Mourning is gloomy and
gives a spirit of sadness TO the wearer
and to all who look upon it, 1t seems
TO me a better thing TO be cheerful in
spite Of sorrow. Many people feel as
I do about mourning and it Is being
worn less and less. If YOU think. how
ever. that your stepsster would be
pleased TO have you dress in black and
il you want to. it would be proper for
you To wear mourning. Wear all black.
