DEAR MISS LEE: I am writing to a sailor
hoy whom l have never seen, but with whom
I have been corresponding for a year and a
half. have grown TO love him through let
tiers. He has asked me to marry him. I
feel as If had known him for years. And
1t seems as If I Just cannot go with any one
else.
I got his address from a very dear friend
of mine and know that he is a very nice boy.
I went and stayed with my aunt for six
weeks and he wrote the sweetest letter about
mother. Daddy says that VIXEN a fellow
writes q sweet letter that makes him cry he
surely Is worth having.
Please give me- little advice.
Surely, Babe, you would not accept
this man without ever meeting him.
Why, even though his letters are the
most beautiful that ever were writ.
ten. you might not love him after
meeting him.
You had better wait until he has
leave Of absence and can come to see
you before giving him an answer.
Even then you must be careful not to
act hastily.
In the meantime. if 1 were you I
should go with other men once in a
while. That is much better than to
sit at home thinking about this one
man, whom you really don't know.
Answer to VERNAHN: You letter
is not very clear. L can not tell
whether 1t is Chester or Raymond
who has asked you to be his wife.
However, that does not matter, as
you are too young TO marry any one
for few years. Just forget about
love now. Vernahn, and be good
friends with these men.
think you have no reason to
doubt that Chester was telling you
the truth. Yes, think it would be
all right for you to let him come to
see you some evening.
Answer to H. NJ. N: Most club
sandwiches are made in such a way
that they cannot very well be taken
in the fingers. However. sometimes
they can be cut and then eaten with
the fingers. In hotels and restau-
rants and at public affairs, believe
you Will find a knife and fork always
are used for club sandwiches.
DEAR MISS LEE: am % years OF age
and do not keep steady company. I like TO
have dates. but feel I am not ready TO set
tie down.
Should a girl get angry with a man when
he asks for a kiss9 And what should she
say whCn she refuses himi I would not
kiss any man unless I were engaged TO him.
Am I right. Miss LeeY
Some OF the fellows do not ask for dates
after I have refused to kiss them. I shall
be very glad to read your opinion on this
As you sign yourself Happy" 1
presume the loss Of these dates"
does not bother you. I'm glad to
learn that. Why on earth should you
care about not having engagements
with men whose only interest seems
&c be the number OF kisses they can
get IN an evening?
I agree with your "oldfashloned"
ideas about kissing Although kisses
no longer seem to mean as much as
they used to, and are given and taken
without a further thought. I still be
lieve the girl who saves her kisses
for the right man" is happier than
the girl who gives hers promiscu-
ously.
Now, as to what a girl should say
when she refuses the kiss-it depends
on the girl and the way in which she
is asked. For instance. IL the man
is declaring his love for her. she
probably would not get angry.
OF course, there Is no formula"
she can repeat in every instance of
this sort She must just make 1t plain
that she is not willing to kiss or be
kissed.
Dear Mss Martha Lee: I wish to ask your
ADVICE There IS q young man with whom
I am very much ia love and have been for
three years. About three years ago he Joined
the navy and I never heard from him again
until two weeks ago. I saw him on the car
He had Iust returned.
He asked to come out to see ME. and of
course I said Yes" but he never came.
not look at me OF speak. Please tell me
whether I should speak to him again or
not love him. though am Is years
old. and he Is, too.
The sooner you forget this boy the
better off you will be. Now, don't
say you cant" That word does not
belong in the vocabulary of an 1s-
year-old girl. If you saw more of
him you probably would learn that
you do not love him; for I feel
sure you would not love a boy who
has treated you so rudely.
He owes you an apology. So I do
rot see why you should speak to him.
If you wish. you might recognize him
with a nod-a COOL distant" one.
Just to show that you would listen
to any explanation he had
