Anent Corresponding

Dear Cynthia-I am sure you can
answer me a question which I have
been thinking about lately. l know a
boy whom I have very seldom been
with, but whom I should like very much
to see more of. I saw him the other
day, and in the few minutes was talk
ing to him he brought up the subject of
our correspondence. Cynthia, he told me
he thought 1t was a girls position TO
write first, as It is a known fact that
a girl always speaks first. I had never
known that II was my place to Corre-
spond first with a boy. Will you please
tell me? This boy does, not dance and
there have been several occasions when
| should like to ask him to a dance or
party. Can you tell me OF some method
can use for encourag ging him to Ike
dancing and have moTe confidence in
himself? =.
l shall certainly APPRECIATE your ad-
vice on these two questions. They will
make considerable difference In my &C
quaintance with this boy You see, he
may not want TO write to me, but to be
polite he says 1t is my position TO write
to him first. EDITH X.
Better not start corresponding with
the young man. at least till you know
him better. Little good comes OF letter
writing between boys and girls, and
very often sorrow comes from it. Ask
the boy to your parties whether he
dances or not He will probably become
interested in learning to dance. You
might offer TO teach him II you have a
talking machine in your home.
