VIRGINIA LEE on
= LOVE AFFAIRS
DEAR VIRGINIA LEE:

DEAR VIRGINIA LEE:
IF a young man calls on me for
the first time is il proper for
the members of my family to
come into the sparlor where we
are conversing and join in the
conversation. or should they re-
main away?
When we go out should my
mother say: Enjoy yourselves"
Take good care of her." Don't
stay out too late" and make other
rather embarrassing remarks?
IMOGENE.
Only a very self-conscious little
lmogene could take offense at
such innocent pleasantf1es on the
part Of her parents. i am sure
they are not at all embarrassing
TO the young man calling.
But i do think you should he
left alone during the first calls
OF a new suitOr. without Interrupt
tion by members Of your family.
DEAR VIRGINIA LEE:
A GIRLS club to which l be-
long is planning to give a
formal dance at an exclusive hotel.
Each member is to invite her
most favored boy friend.
L am very anxious to invite a
certain young man in whom I
have been interested for over a
year. Do you think it would be
right for me to ask him in view
of the fact that he has practically
ignored me for several months?
He is the only one l would
care TO attend the affair with and
If / cannot ask him l must re-
main home, which will cause
comment. c. L. Z.
Sensitiveness often prevents one
from making a move that may or
may not result happily. But I'm
such an instance one may take
the unconventional chance.
Write and ask the boy. II he
refuses you are no worse off than
If you had not written and are no
longer i'm doubt about his feelings
toward you.
II he does accept you have
your wish and q chance TO re-
establish the friendship.

YOUR MANNERS.
1T is CORRECT

For the intimate friends OF a
