My Dear Billie:-I should GER
tainly not advise you to keep on
letting them mot if you have
any self respect, my dear child
GU are very young at best, to be
stepping around" You should
at least wait another year or two
though l sincerely believe that
young folk as well as grown-ups
need the companionship of the OPP
Iposite sex. Companionship, how
ever, is not love making and
stepping out, necessarily.
I know that girls allow certain
familiarities now, which seem alb
solutely harmless, and which at
the time, probably are, but great
oaks from little acorns grow" and
a young girl cannot be too care
full. | am not so sure though
whether the present state of af-
fairs is due to the carlessness of
the girls, or to the downright
greed of the young men. Many
girls say, as you do, that they can
not keep their boy friends with
out submitting to little ''pet-
ting" now and then, while the
boys say that a girl thinks a fellow
"slow" unless he does it. If this
is true it is rather a paradox, ism t
it, Billie2
In my opinion, young man
loses respect for a girl who allows
promiscuous caresses. Many Of
them protest that they do not
that they simply are overwhelm-
ed by the young lady's charm
that it is merely a manner in
which they wish to show their al
fiction, but ] believe in the old
saying, familiarity breeds con
Tempt
So, now my dear, wait until
some nice young man has asked
You to make his coffee every
morning until death do us part, =
and you have agreed with him
upon the advisability Of such a
you may kiss the
young man goodnight and look
the whole world in the face over
his shoulder.

Dear Miss lee Il noticed in the
News-Record that you are wiling
to answer the question which girls
wish to put to you, and | have one
which bothers me ever so much
So many of my girl friends let the
boys they GO with kiss them, and
though the boys always asked me,
for "a long while | refused, until
it seemed as though the boys
would not ask me out again after
having been once refused. ! don t
like to allow these familiarities,
but is seems almost impossible to
avoid them if girl wishes to
step out" and have any sort of a
good time. What do you think of
it, and would you advise me to
keep letting the boys kiss me as
| have been doing lately? l am
seventeen years old.

CrucifxiOns

The list of men and women who
have been crucified because their
beliefs were not in harmony with the
authority is long and appalling one,
The pages of history are red with the

Christ was crucifed because the
Jewish church was incensed at his
revolutionary preaching, with mix
ture of apprehension of the Roman
governors, and the mob spirit melted

Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
into Mexico about year ago want to
get "back home," as they call western
Canada. They seem to have made

portion of northern Mexico to which
the Canadian Mennonites went. Mr..
Unruh has decided to stay in Kansas.
The movement of so large body of
Mennonites from Canada through
United States and into Mexico early
in 1922 attracted much attention. The
Canadian Mennonites are fairly well
supplied with cash. Many of them
