Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
girl of seventeen. I graduate from
high school this year. After school
and on Saturdays L work in a store.
Should a girl go to college? My
parents cannot put me through col
/ lege, but l have enough to put me
| through one term, that is one-haII
year. Could / work my way
through the rest if 1 didn't need To
work for my clothes?
Could you suggest something l
could do? l am willing to do any
thing. for l want to go to college.
Some say to go and others say not
to go, and | don't know what to do.
If you think l can't work my way
through do you think il would be
advisable for the half year only, or
would it be better to save my
money. The worst of it is that 1
am not prepared for office work. 1
had always planned to go to col
lege and / took course that pre-
pared me to go. ANY advice would
bs appreciated. G. B.
Any one should go to college who
finds it possible without causing
others too great a sacrifice.
Some girls and young men permit
their parents to save and sacrifice
and in return they waste the excel
lent opportunity provided by the
parents.
In your case I should say to go
by all means. You have set your
goal and to back down now would
be weak One term would be better
than nothing and it would give you
an insight into college life which
would make you feel at home with
college people all through life, A
girl who has not been to college
feels she has missed one of the
81 eatest things in life when listen
ing to college people talk. One
term would show enough of college
life to make her realize she is not
forever handicapped if she is will
ing to read and study outside.
If you are determined to work
your way through college you can
find q way to do so.
Talk to the principal of your high
school and he will suggest ways to
you. Also write or talk to the dean !

| been with different boys Saturday
and Sunday and we had a date with
these fellows. OF course, we ditch
, ed" our old friends to go with the
new ones. We met our friends ana
then to our surprise the old friends
came along and caught US.
We let our new friends take us
home. l gave the ring my ola
friend gave me to the new one IN
give back to the old friend. Did
do right?
The old friend never took me aDv
place and yet he said he thought
great deal of me. My girl friends
old friend asked her to 20 every
place. but mine never did. The FIRST
time we were with our new friends,
they offered to treat US and so did
the next night.
/ Please advise us. We are iuniors
at high school.
DEAREST FRIENDS.
You should not have given your
new friend the ring to return to
your old friend. Since you were
returning it you should have done
so yourself.
To have a date" with a boy oc-
casionally will not hurt you any #
you choose your friends wisely, re-
member your self-respect at all
times and go only to the right kind
of places. At your age you should
be satisfied with callers at your
home, school and neighborhood par
ties.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: an
fifteen years old. About a week
ago l had my hair cut because all
the other girls were having theirs
cut. Now l don't know what to do.
l can't fix it one way or another
Every time l think of my hair
cry. Please tell me of something
to make it grow long again.
UNHAPPY SUE.
Your hair will grow long again,
but it will take time. Buy mango
cure at the drug store and apply@t
to the scalp every other night.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l had a
question asked me by a young man.
How long should a man go with a
girl before he asks her to marry
her?
His experience has been that
girls are too ready to answer the
question. A READER.
There is no fixed time that a
young man should propose to a
girl He usually proposes when he
S convinced that he wants the girl
'or his wife. 1t seems to me that
your friend either presumes a great
1eal or else has led girls to be
ieve that he means more than he
-eally does.

Ever heard of the Gold Book
Magazine? It is comparatively
new little magazine published by
the Reconstruction Publishing com
pany. The stories are more or
less of the type that are found in
the Blue Book, the Red Book, the
Black Cat, etc.-a number of stor-
les, with exceptionally good and
keen plots cloaked with words aft
er not of the best recognized Eng
lish- The publishers of the Gold
Book, however, are doing one thing
that l have never noticed being
consistently done by other maya
zines. In their desire to stimulate
interest in the best short stories,
each month they publish reprints
of three good short stories, inter
nationally known because of their
merits, and by well known writer's.
The names of the authors, however,
are withheld, that readers may
guess from the plots and style the
names of the writers. Furthermore,
cash prizes are offered each month
for those submitting the nearest
correct list of the names of the
writer's.
According to "The Library Jour
nal" a recent national survey OF
fiction title lists has proven that
Holman Day is represented in more
libraries than any other author.
Forty-one libraries were covered
by the survey, ranging IN size from
those of New York, Brooklyn, Chi
cago, Philadelphia and st. Louis,
down to such comparatively small
and Fairhaven, Mass. Mr. Days
The Rider of the King Log" ap-
peared on the fiction title lists of
81 of the Al libraries surveyed. The
report confined itself to 1919 titles
because later titles may yet rea-
sonably be expected to appear in
the published lists of certain librar-
les under consideration" The sta
tistics would indicate that Mr.. Day, !
whose latest novel, When Egypt !
Went Broke" was Just published by
the Harpers, is as popular through |
out the country as he is in his nal
tive state, Maine.
