MARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

| MARY MEREDlTHS ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am girl of fifteen coming to
you for much needed advice. Is 1t
all right for a girl to go to a party
with a boy >unchaperoned? Is there
wrong in a boy putting his
arm on the back of the seat when
you are riding with him? Is 1t prop
er to use a heart-shaped handker-
chief and wear it on your sleeve? Is
there any harm in letting boy
wear your ring? When l go away
for a visit should 1 write first or
should he? Is it all right to give
boy a large picture of yourself it he
asks for it? If so, should ask for
one of him in return? Suppose a
you and you don't like it,
how shall l make him stop. Thank-
ing you in advance for your advice.

1t depends largely on who's
giving the party, the distance it
boy who is to be the girls es-
cort. If the boy is we'll known
and has been raised well, it may
be all right. If the party is to
be given any distance from a
young girls home it is best to
have a chaperon. 1t doesn't look
so well to nave arm on auto
seat behind a girls back to those
passing. 1t might create COM
tnent. Little friVoiities INDUCED
in between young girls and boys
are not improper. 1t may seem
folks get much fun out of be-
ing silly. No harm done, for it
doesn't mean anything" The
DerSon off on a trip should be
first to write. 1t depends on
how long you've known this boy,
whether it is safe to exchange
pictures. Tel the boy plainly
names, and you must refuse to
go with him.

eyes, black hair, fair complexion and

me too young to marry? J. am going
to ask for some advice to a girl in
love with young man who is twenty
years old. I love him dearly and
think ! couldn't live without him,
but my parents object to my going
with him. He says he loves me,
but I can't believe he cares enough
about me for me to marry him now.

the boy you declare yourself
in love With-if you will accept
candy and rings from another
