Don t Let
Tease Make
You G1ieUe
BY MARTHA LEE

Why boy with whom she thinks
she is in love spends so much time
teasing her and arguing with her
That. my dear, is because he gets a
rise" out of you, and finds his fun
in making you miserable. He evil
IDENTITY has nothing to say that Is
either amusing or very wise. so he
tries to get the center of the stage
by teasing you and watching you
vince under his jibes
Don't let him hurt yOui Just let
him rave on. Think over what he
says and come back at him in a
pleasant way. Don't make fun OF
him, nor his ways. Treat him kind
~, but don't kneel before him.
If, as you say, he is kind and
pleasant when you arc alone with
him. it must be that he wants at
tention from the crowd and gets
1 it by making you the object of MS
/ teasing.
Dear Martha Lee: I am a gill Of 10
wears. I am going with hoy whom love
dearly. and I know he loves me. But Miss
Lee. I am so jealous OF him that l am
/ ashamed Of myself. I have discontinued
seeing him on this account, but he docsn
know why. II 7 could overcome this, !
would go back to him. but until then, !
/ don't think that 1t is fair. Please give me
vour advice. ! am so lonesome without
him BROWN EYES.
Dear child why arc you jealous?
Have YOU ever thought about the
reason? DO you want to be the only
person who can talk with or look
upon that young man? He must
live in a world where there arc 9TH
or girls. and some Of them very
pretty, too.
What have you to offer that makes
him interested in you? Is your alice
ton for him real enough TO stand
the fact that he must, come and 90
in the world Of business? Trust
him. Find your happiness in near
ing about his daily triumphS in work
or in games. Applaud him and show
that you have your pleasure IN MS
achievements.
Certainly get in touch with him
again. and forget that you we're
showing a childish disposition, Per
haps he was not conscious OF 1t.
Men are much too run after, now
adavs. They really want to do the
counting in the old-fashioned way
so be friendly. ask about all MS al
fairs in business and games ana
forget that you once wanted 10 HI
his every thought.
Dear Martha Lee; Two years ago met
man while l was on my vacauoh anu
! since then VIC have been corresponding q
few months back I wrote him letter ouI
did not receive any answer. Shoulu
write to him again. as I like him very
much? Thank you for your answer.
i''00'' FRIEND.
No. let it 60. If nc feels that nc
wants to hear from you, he I'LL
write to know Why he does not near
If the letter was lost, he will ask
whv he does not hear from you. Per
haps he is too busy to remember
what good times you had. You
MIGHT send him something that
would remind him Of those days,
a kodak picture if you have one OIL
some vacation experience, or a small
reminder of the things you did TO-
/ gether.
am sure that the boys OF TO-DAY
arc tired of being run after SO let
him 90 unless he makes some move
to find YOU again. Talk to other
bovs about what they like to Go
and where they want to 60 ana
then replace this particular BOY
with some new interest.
Lonely Girl" who is only To-
needs something to do, and sug~
oest that she go to the newly opened
Raub branch library near Thirty
second and Meridian streets, and
find coed companions amone the
books there. Read and FIND out
what most young girls arc dong III
this and other countries.
Ask the librarians for SUGGESTIONS
Then w1cn YOU have read the lives
Of some of the really worth Whlle
women of the world, you Will nave
something to talk about and Will
find that you have learned what
thcv did. when as young IS you,
Everybody is supposed to be lonely
/ in this world. and perhaps you can
find that other boys and girls want
a good listener for their deeds and
thoughts. Learn from books about
some handicraft or some special
line of work. You should be busy
at home these days and helping
with the work of the family part OF
each day,
That is good training for a future
/ life. An unframed girl or boy IS
only a drug Oh the market. Perhaps
YOU can learn from the Story-teiier
at the library what is needed to III
terest young children. There IS a
beautiful yard there and it is open
to you, for your pleasure. Why not
take sewing and then talk to those
Tho you find there?
Take some younger child with you
and make her happy and you will
be happy yourself. Ask some of the
neighborhood girls to go with you
some times. and then be as pleasant
as you can. They feel strange, too,
with you as you do with them.
/ There is a place for you somewhere,
