DEAR MISS FAiRFAh:
Last summer, in a park here I

feet gentleman and very interest

following evening - and saw him
twice week for about three
months. Then he went to a distant
city t. work. Now he writes me he
expects to be in Washington over
Sunday some time soon. and asks
me to spend the day with him at
his home.

seems TO care a great deal for me.
Would II be proper for me to go to
his home with him without an in
vitation from his mother? | have

Wouldn't the average mother con-
slider his a bold act?

Suggest to the young man that
he have his mother write you a note
or telephone you inviting you to
spend the Sunday with them. This
method will relieve everyone OF
