you again. There are FIVE of us and
each one of us wish to ask two ques-
tions each ~ There is girl in our
town who has gotten into a very bad
habit OF borrowing other peoples cloth
| ing. As she has borrowed from me
frequently and I have had to go after
my clothes, this makes me feel very
foolish. Should l loan them or not? /
don't like to turn her down, when she
asks, so what should I do? CD Do you
think =" - is suitable book to

ID have been writing to a boy in

three years. Is it proper to go car
riding with him and my girl friend af-
ter public dances? f2) AS our stead

Thanks, girls, for sending your names
along. This indicates you really de-
sire an answer to your questions al
ready submitted. / will reserve your
envelope for your further communica-
lions, and attempt your answers all In
a bunch here. 1t would be unwise for
you to puzzle over these weighty prob
lens longer. l am sure.
% must say, slim" you are quite
fortunate in that you have extra clothes
to lend. Never having had just such
a problem to deal with / am not sure
what the proper course to pursue should
be, but am inclined to think l would
yer kindly and sweetly, but never
theless firmly, tell the young lady 1

be considered exactly suitable" for you
to have this book, much less lend it to
boy friend.
% do not know that 1 can blame
the Arizona friend for criticizing you,
spike" If you write him in anything
the same maC1er in which you have
communicated with me. Probably you
have used this system" before. and
should know the effects, therefore
should be a better Judge of which
course TO pursue than l. ~ If you
are in the right mood, housekeeping is
a very enjoyable recreation. OF course
you might alternate this with renovat-
ing the hennery, duckery. goosery, pig
gerry, etc, with little gardening
thrown in. Should you take this adj
vice and stay with it, rather think the
climate will not be noticed to any APP
preciable extent. What. hol
% And shorty" for your elongation

know, one of those affairs which har-
ness the feet at one end and the head
and shoulders at the other, and the

do not know that l have ever known
anyone to try it for this particular pur-
pose but 1t sounds reasonable. doesn't
it? For decreasing the breadth. exer-

Ny dear Bunny" colored stationery |
has no meaning that I know Of other
than expressing the artistic taste of
the person using 1t. p 1 presume the
parents of these highly esteemed chill
dren would welcome such names as the

bald, Adolphus, Ignatius, Lucian, Bar |
tholdy. Ruberto or Jacques. What you
think?
ID Well, Stats" I'd say 1t was "go-
ing some" to go car riding after
public dance. and going" still more to
go twenty miles to another public
dance "all by yourselves alone" but far
be it from me to attempt to advise

advanced age of sixteen, even though
