Advice to Girls
BY ANNIE u
E ANNIE LAURIE:

NEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
II 1. Would It be proper for nae
to give a gift to a boy friend OF
mine on his birthday? He gave
me a beautiful birthday and
Christmas present.
2. He has invited me to a college
prom" but as the school is quite
a distance from this city I will
have to stay overnight. Would
this be proper without taking a
chaperon with me?
I am mostly known as "The Life
Of Every Party" but I can be
that way or just the opposite.
How would you advise me to act
at the prom?
BROWN EYES.
DROWN EYES: Yes, it would be
- proper. However. It would not
be in good taste to give a very ex
pensive gift. 2. 1t would be best tc
have a chaperon, unless you are to
stay somewhere where you will b.
chaperoned. 8. Act naturally. DOM
try to make yourself conspicuous
but enjoy yourself and act in such
a manner that the young man vii
be proud Of YOU.
