Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am girl

ed good looking. l have gone to sew
eral lawn parties this summer with II
certain boy and there have been sew
eral other boys who asked to take me
home What should l tell these boys,
or what should | have told them?
If you go to party with your sistet'

you home. what should you say? Also
after reaching home, what should you
say? Should / say l enjoyed being
with him and ask him to come again
Please tell me what l should say
when boy has machine trouble?
BOBBY.
You should have told the boys that
some one took you to the party and
so you would go home with the same
one. But you should have thanked
them for asking you.
If you go to a party with your sister
or brother, you should return the same
way In case you have gone with
your sister, the boy might want tc
take both of you home. You should
merely thank the boy for taking you
home and ask him to come to see you
sometime
When a boy has machine trouble
! it is best to say little. Sympathetic
silence is more pleasing than chatter
| Dear Mrs. Thompson: We have {
girl friend who is very kind and goot
natured, and she does not go with the
boys, and she seems to do the RICH
things in life. One of our mother
does not like this girl and will not al

! can we do to get our mothers to like
| this girl?-Black and Blue Eyes.
| This is a hard matter to decide YoI
do not say why your mothers object
| Evidently there is a good reason. I
may be well to follow your mothers
advice.
