I'd ask you. Last night I pent to a
party given to one of the girls about my
size and age. At the party they acted
terribly. They pould play kissing
games and sit IN the corner and hug
each other. Because / wouldn't join
n nth them they called me baby and
sdid I'd never catch tsllow il I
vouldn't let them even Hiss me. Please
tell me il that is the may all the people
do to become friends of the boys,
Surely my mother did NOT act this nay
Dhen she mas girl. Please let me
hear from you as soon as possible.
ROBERTA, Idaho.
No my dear. all the people do NOT
act this way. but it j. the sad truth
that a good many do. You did just
right in refusing to enter into that sort
of Fun" and l have no doubt some
of the boys and girls in their heart.
really admired you for the stand you
took; but know it is hard to be the
only one to uphold the standard, and
| consider that you were a very brave
girl to do It. You will be laughed at
of course, just because you are differ
ent. but you will have the satisfaction
of knowing that you are doing a. your
mother would have you do and a, your
own conscience tells you. and IN the
future you will have cause to be very
thankful for having taken this course.
Some day a boy j. going to come
along who thinks as you do and he
will like you for it. feel very sure of
this. little girl.

If you will buy Sanford. Ink Era.-
er from your local stationery or drug
store. and use it strictly to directions,
think you will be able to remove the
ink from your clothing. both the red
and the blue ink. would advise you
% experiment a little with the pink
blouse. however. trying the ink remov-
er on a scrap of the pink If you have
one. to be sure it doe. not take out
he color with the ink. If you do not
care to buy this ink remover. try plac-
ng the stained portion IN sour milk and !
allow to stand several DAYS; then wash |
out IN clear water and try again. If ne
;essary. Unless one know. the char
'cter of the ink, it is a little hard to |
know what to recommend. If the
'tains are very bad. | really think the |
,e's plan would be for you to send
ne articles to a professional cleaner. |

think you selected very sweet one. |
