Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are
two young girls who intend to have
midnight picnic and we want tC
invite certain young man. but oul
parents object to him. This young
treated US with due respect, but OF
account of stories which have cir
culated about HIM our parents dis
like him.
What would your advise us tC
do? If we invite him without their
consent they will treat him fine il
he comes UNDECIDED.
Your parents probably see be-
meath the surface of the young
mans character and believe the
stories are justified. Trust to
their judgment and do not invite
him to the picnic.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: There was
a joke played on me- Later the girl
who played it stopped speaking to
me. l can appreciate a joke, but
this girl understood l was angry
over it and stopped speaking.
was supposed to have turned up
my nose at her, but 1 never did.
Should l tell her this?
l don't know what to do. 1 miss
her friendship because 1 almost
loved her. A couple of times when
think her statements were directed
to me, but Indifferent parties could
answer and so l did not answer.
Shall 1 speak the next time 1
see her, or let her speak first? I
don't know whether or not she
cares for my friendship and l
wouldn't push myself on any one.
l walked about a block alone with
her. We couldn't avoid each other.
When she left she didn't speak and
I think she might have.
Please answer as soon as posi-
BILE, as 1 don't know what to do.
l don't think it is my place to speak
first, but if it is I will do it.
ANSWER SOON.
Write the girl a note and tell her
that you miss her. Say that you
did not take her joke in the proper
spirit because it hurt you, but since
it was only joke on her part you
do not want to let 1t make any diff
ference in your friendship. 1t is
really her place to ask your for
giveness, but since she will not, be
big enough to forgive her.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 20
years old and keep company with
a nice, ambitious young man of the
same age. We have gone together
for three years and We are engaged
now. My friends tell me it is not
good policy to extend my engage
ment too long. Since he is not yet
Of age 1 feel 1 would rather wait,
and also for better circumstances.
What do you think about it? Do
you think I am right? l don't lis
ten to my friends, for we are hap
Ply together. WONDERING.
You are absolutely right in put
ting off your marriage until your
fiance is of age and times are bet
ter. True love will stand the test
Of time.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a
widow in middle life. l was forced
to leave my husband and make my
own living He was cruel to me
and my children and a poor pro-
wider. Now 1 am keeping house
for a man with two children. He
is very good and kind-hearted and
a good proyider and he owns his
own home. 1 love this man and he
loves me. l know he can give me
a good home. He has been very
good to my children and done a
great deal for them, but they don't
seem to appreciate it They are
all grown and by themselves, but
one daughter of II who stays with
me.
Would it be all right to marry
this man against their wishes?
LUCKY SPARROW.
1 think il would be all right to
marry the man if you are very
sure he loves you and will be good
to you Your children should let
you make your own decision in
matter like this.
