MARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

| MARY MEREDlTH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
We have been readers of your
Journal for quite a while, and have
| noticed that you have given good
advice to other lonely girls at home,
| and so we come to you for advice.
I, Jack, am a girl sixteen years
Of age, and am loving a boy eight
cen years of age. My mother OBJ
jects to my going with the boy, but
my father says he doesn't care, as
the boy is as good as any other
boy. So T don't know which one
to obey. My mother says she hasn't
anything against the boys charac-
ter, as he comes from a nice family
Of people, but I think she is just do
ing this for spite. Do you think this
boy loves me? He told girl friend
| than any one else, and has asked
me to marry him? He is awfully
! jealous. How can I get him out of
this, as feel like / should go with
other boys until the time is set for
our wedding. I am not going to
marry until I am older, as I want
an education, and can get one. An
swer in The Journal. JACK.
Your father and mother should
| come to some agreement concerning
your accepting attentions from the
young man you like SO we'll. I see
no reason though for his not coming
to see you If he is of good, clean
morals and habits, and of a nice,
respectable family. I am sure the
boy likes you very much if he per-
sists in coming to see you. An edu-
cation is very essential to every one,
and II you can get it, do SO.
I am coming to you for little ad-
vice.
Can you tell me where I can get
plain sewing to do at home?
I thank you very much for any
information given. Find self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope for re-
ply, Please do not print in The
journal. MRS. w.
There are many women here in
Atlanta seeking employment Of any
kind in order to help support them
selves and families. Work is scarce,
and the unemployed" is the great
problem to be faced now. Condi-
lions will grow better after a while,
it is said, and there may be "a way
provided for those so in need of
work with pay attached. Write to
me again later. I will inquire
around and see if I can find any
work for you to do.
I am a boy coming to you for
advice. I am IL years old, fair
complexion, blue eyes, brown hair
and weigh 100 pounds. Am I old
enough for my weight?
1 am in love with a girl Is years
old. I love her dearly. I think
she loves me. She writes to me
regularly, and she doesn't notice
any other boys except me. Do you
think she loves me?
Thanking you for any advice.
LIMBER jim
Yes, you are old enough for your
weight, provided you are over five
feet. If the young girl has admitted
she likes you, doesn't go with other
boys, seems always glad to see you,
I'm sure she really cares something
for you. One can only judge by a
persons actions toward one. Actions
speak louder than words.
l am lonely girl coming to you
for advice. I am fifteen years old
and weigh 124 pounds.
1 am in love with a boy seventeen
years old, and he says he loves me
dearly. l am sure love him. He is
always sending me presents of some
kind, though he only calls once in
awhile, but he always says he loves
me. Yet he talks about other girls
to me. Do you think he loves me,
or is he just trying to make a Ounce
of me? Is it any harm for a girl
OF my age to go car riding with a
boy on Sunday p. M?
Hoping to see this in the Atlanta
Tri-Weekly Journal.
A BROWN EYES.
You are inclined to be jealous
hearted. Do not let this habit grow
upon you. When your boy friend
talks to you of other girls why not
talk to him of other boys? It won't
hurt any to have him feel he isn't
the only boy in your thoughts. If
he is sincere in his regard for you,
he will soon leave off talking about
other girls to you. Give him a dose
of his own medicine.
am coming to you for advice.
am 10 years or age. My father
won't let me go off and spend the
night with my girl friends very
often, for he is afraid 1 will go
somewhere at night. He won't let
me go off with other girls and boys
at night to singings or parties.
like a boy I went with about a
month. He was always nice to me,
until one afternoon he came to see
me and went to see another girl
that night. 1t made me angry. He
and that girl have broken up now,
and I want him to come back.
Would it be my place to speak to
him first, as he hasn't spoken to
me since that afternoon? How
should I act when I am around him?
How can I win his love back?
How is my handwriting?
You had no right to be angry over
the boys going to call on another
girl in the evening-unless he broke
the date with you. If he did this,
then your wrath was justified. If
he is in the wrong, it is entirely
up to him to apologize. If you are
in the wrong, it is up to you to ask
