stumble into wOmanhood before you
have had any girlhood-a woman
hood that can mean only Stunted
youth, weighed down with the bur-
den of cares and worries too heavy
for young shoulders. You will find
that married life means" not only
a long uphill pull, but many down.
ward plunge into dependency. You
might find that married life means"
more-a sad disillusiOnment, the
discovery some day that you hate
this boy and he hates you, seen
through the magnifying glass OF a
daily INTIMACY glass none the Less
clear with the sordid smear of pow
erty perhaps, and the steady grind CT
a struggle for existence.
You are not developed or expert
enced enough, Uncertain, to know
the type of man with whom you
want to spend all the rest of your
stage of puppy love. Lead life
with plenty of wholesome fun and
pleasure, grasp eagerly every
chance to make the most of these
all too few years of girlhOOd. Have
talk with the boy and come 20 d
mutual understanding that there Is
to be no definite break nor is there
to be anything binding in your re-
lationship; you will see each other
occasionally. and yet be free to have
other dates" Allow yourself the
opportunities to compare him with
other boys. And advise him to dc
the same with girls. In three or
four years you will be more apt to
know your own mind. But now
make the most of your girlhood, the
birthright of every girl.

DEAR MONA DEWES-I have
been writing to a young man for
sometime and he hasn't answered
nv letter which I wrote several
weeks ago. Should 1 write him again
or should I just wait? Please advise
me.
LONESOME
ANSWERED. you remember the
words of the Mother Goose Rhyme
Little Bo Peep'-''Leave them
alone and they'll come homer" If a
man does not care for girl, moth
ing will make him seek her out or
write to her. But if he does-noth-
ing short of death or Jail will pre-
vent him from seeing or communl-
eating with her in some way. DO not
write to this young man again. 10

thing you can say, the most dramat-
ic thing you can do, is-noth1ngI II
he is at all interested in you, you
will stir his conscience, pique his
curiosity and he will eventually try
to find out what you are thinking
about, if you will keep him waiting
long enough. Leave him alone,
Lonesome-and wait!

DEAR MONA DEWES-I live with
my grandparents, who treat me
mean. am a girl fifteen years old.
What can do in this case?
PEGGY G.
ANSWER-It is unfortunate for
any young girl to be forced to spend
most of her time in the society OF
older people and it will no doubt be
better for you in every way to go
away later on. But stick it out for
the present, Peggy G. Stay until
you are old enough to go out into
the world and make your living. If
YOU should leave now, you would
buck up against many things worse
than two disagreeable old people,
who at least give you home and
living. Are you sure that you are as
kind and obedient to them as you
might be? Perhaps if you would try
to overcome your outraged attitude
and be sweet and submissive, you
could find some happiness in your
life with them.
Self-control and forbearance will
develop character as no smooth road
