 Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are girls
 of fl and 15 and this is our second year in high school. We do not care
 anything for the boys, but there is a
 boy about our age who is always rum
 ming after us and often begs for
 dates but we have always refused
 him. We especially dislike this boy
 and want to know how to get rid of
 him. We do not want to be bothered
 with the boys until we get through school We like to go to evening
 parties as we enjoy being with our
 girl friends. It is all right for us
 to go with older brothers and sisters if our parents do not object? Is it all right for a girl of 14 years to send Christmas greetings to her
 boy friends?
 We do not attend the movies. JANE AND ROSE. Tell the boy you do not like that 1 you consider yourselves too young l to go places with him or other boys | and you wish he would not ask you again or follow you.
 It is correct to attend parties with | older members of the family. l It is all right to send Christmas greetings to your boy friends if you | know them well.
 1 There is an attitude of self-right- | eousness about your letter which | do not like. Live up to your ideals, 1 but do not let yourselves feel that 1 you are wiser and better than girls who indulge in the pleasures which | you spurn. Be tolerant and modest

Trim and nonchalant as they had left the house, the two truants re- turned to it, just in time to change their clothes for dinner, and at that meal no one would ever have guess ed from the unassuming manner of Henry Gay or the Hghtness of Ilona that they had wandered far that aft ernoon and been threatened with hair-raising adventures.
 ''That walk did you both good, think" said Mrs. Cameron as she no- tised how heartily Ilona was eating. Its given you a wonderful appetite, darling, and that's worth everything. You and Henry Gay must take more of them together"

WASHINGTON. d. c, Jan. IA
Victor r. DAILY business manager of
the Associated Publishers, Inc, in an
interview with representatives OF the
press here predicted a sale for Dr.
Woodsons new book, The History OF
the Negro Church" that would rival
the sale of any book since "Uncle
Toms Cabin" Asked for his reason
Tor such a sweeping statement. Mr..
DAILY stated that although the book
had not been off the press more than a
week, and had hardly had time to
reach the hundreds OF agents, schools.
colleges and church organizations that
were waiting for it, yet the demand for
1t was so great that practically the
entire first edition was swallowed up
in advance orders. To substantiate
his statement, the business manager
exhibited a stack of orders not only
from agents and private individuals,
but from schools and colleges where
the book is to be used as a textbook,
from bishops and high ehurchmen or
dering immense numbers OF copies for
use in church organizations and KIN
bred religious activities.
