The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-10-15

I week, but when she couldn't reas-
onably excuse herself to me she
| did not go.
Do you think she really loves
me? She claims because we aren't
engaged she can go out when or
| with whom she pleases. I don't
| care to have her do this because it
will start gossip. Do you think a
girl ought to act that way if she
really loves n fellow? Do you
| think 1 ought to stick to her?
A.L.V.
The girl is right in saying she
can go out when or with whom she
pleases because she is not engaged.
If you want her for yourself and
love her enough to marrw her, pro
pose. After she is engaged she
certainly should not go with other
young men. There is no reason for
gossip if she is careful of her con-
duct when she is ont with the var
ious young men and if she chooses
her friends wisely.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am
girl of seventeen and have been 60
ing with boy who lives in a town
several miles distant One evening
had a date with this friend and
broke it to go with a boy who lives
in the same town that l do. I am
disappointed in this last fellow and
l wish to go with the first one
again, but do not know how to win
him back
ANY advice which you can give
will be appreciated. BOBBIE-
You made a mistake in your
choice of a friend and now you will
have to stand the consequences. I
would not advise you to write to the
first boy because it will only anger
him further to have you think that
you can drop him and get him back
as the spirit moves you. Speak to
him in a friendly way when you
meet, but do not try in any way to
"win him back" Absolutely never
break a date with one boy in order
to have one with another. Such
thing is not honorable.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
girl 16 years old and l would like
to have you tell me how to be al
ease around boys. I do not go TO
school and so l can never find any
thing to talk about. I am afraid
am too conscious and would
like to know how to overcome this.
SMILES.
AS you grow older and become
more experienced you will not be
so self-conscious Read and watch
for interesting things about you
and then talk about the things you
find interesting. Also pay atten-
ton to what others say to you and
where it is possible continue the
conversation along the channels
suggested by the person to whom
you are talking
At the age of 16 you should not
worry because you are not inter
esting to boys. You are too young
to be so. Read and find amuse-
ment in other ways for two OF
three years and at the end Of that
time you will probably find your
self in better favor with the oppo-
site sex
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am
girl of 20. Three weeks ago my
husband asked me to come 10 town
and try to get work. l did as ne
asked me to do and / could not
find a job. 1 went back and he
said that he would not live with He
any more
: Now I have a good home and a
good job. Should I forget my nus
band. or should l write him ana
let him know where l am?
Would it be all right for me 10
go to dances with one of our boy
friends who seems to be sorry for
me and wants to make me happy!
Do you think I could win my hus-
band back by writing him love let
tiers and asking him to forgive me,
although l have done as ne toIu
me to? LONESOME WIFE
Do not go TO dances with the
other young man unless you get
divorce from your husband, II
which case wait until the divorce
is granted before you accept LnFl-
tations and sympathy
If it is your fault that your hus-
band does not live with you, write
him a letter and ask him to ior-
give you. But if it is not your
fault and you have done your very
best, only to be neglected by him.
see lawyer and get a divorce
Love letters will not win him RacA
if he is tired Of you
