MARY MEREDlTH.S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

When a girl enters room away
from home, where a young man is
and she has on hat, coat and gloves
should she remove her gloves be-
fore shaking hands? If she is TAX
ing off her glove while entering the
door and has it part of way off and
he offers his hand instantly, should
she finish removing it, apologize for
it's being half off or what?
When a solitaire diamond is worn
on the engagement finger and nc
other ring is worn on that finger
does it necessarily mean an engage
ment ring?
How should a baked sweet potato
be eaten? Is it proper to mash u
up with butter on the bread and
butter plate?
When a girl has been visiting In
one town and starts home, and q
boy friend carries her to the train
should the boy or the girl pay for
the ticket?
If it is almost train time and the
boy has not offered to get the ticket
should she give him the money and
ask him to get it for her, or should
she go and get it herself?
When travelling in the Pullman
how does a person go about gettin
the ticket? When a girl travelinu
alone wishes to have a berth re.
served, how does she go about it?
Thanking you in advance, I am,
IGNORANCE PERSONIFIED.

1t isn't necessary to remove
ones gloves to shake hands, BY
the time you remove them it
would take too long. Unless
you have one hand ungloved it
1T proper to shake hands with
gloves on. Women rarely ever
wear a solitaire diamond ring
on the engagement finger. BUT
proper. Sometimes one hand
looks better than the other and
diamond ring might look bet
ter on that hand. Remove sweet
potato from skin always, place
it on your plate and if you like
butter on it, put it there, but
| do not mash it too much, it at
tracts attention to ones plate.
Feelings should be placed on
the side of plate or a Nplate
nearby - whether bread and
t putter or or another, plate put
young man wishes to pay your
] railroad fare home, and it is
exceedingly small, that is per-
tectly proper, but a large
amount you should pay your
|
to hand the young man to get
the ticket for you. Never allow
him to pay it, When travelling
| on Pullman, one should go
down day or so before de-
parture, and set reservations
then one can get the best. AL
ways have Pullman reserved a
day or so ahead to avoid clash
and discomfort. Tell ticket agent
where you want to go, and get
either berth near ladies' dress
| ing room as possible or in CEN
ter of car. The center is easier
riding and, in case of wreck, is
about the safest place.
I am coming to you for advice, NJ,
parents won't let me have good time!
| like other girls. They keep me a
home most of the time. They maxi
me. go to Sunday school and churcl
and then I have to come home anc
spend the afternoons by myself. They
! won't let me invite any boys AMI
girls to our home. They say [ an
not old enough for boy friends.
do, not want them as sweethearts
only friends.
There is a boy that lives abou
three miles from my home. 1 would
| like to correspond with him. He i!
a nice boy. Would it be all RICH
for me to write him a letter and tel
aim 1 would like to correspond will

teen. Please give me your best ad
vice as soon as possible.

"Rosebud": My child you must
have patience. [ know how you
feel, you are at the age now when
other ideas are calling to you
besides dolls and toys. But wait
until your wings are stronger,
like the little birding in a poem
I know, you too shall fly away.
No, | do not think you should
| write to the boy until he asks
you, then it would be all right
to correspond with him.
Dear Miss Meredith: Please give ;
heart broken girl good advice. Tel
rle is there any harm to kiss DO!
when he says he loves you and il
in earnest. Reckon does a boy low
you when he gives UP all others fo
you? Thanking you for advice
Please print this as II is my fourti
time. CURTIS, DARLING.
You don't sound like a broken
hearted girl. evidently you have
been trying to extract bit OF
'joy' out of life. But you will
be q broken hearted girl if you
keep up the kissing game for
at that game. many women are
losers and they pay highly: 1t
has always been an indication
that a man cared for the wom-
an when he forsook all others
for her. I suppose your friend
must care for you.
