IF you two really cared for each
other, each of you would want to do
everything for the other. True hap.
piness is found in giving-not receiv-
ing.
1T seems that at the present time
you are doing more than your share.
Since you have no income, cannot
imagine girl selfish enough to want
you to spend the little you have in
reserve. She could plan entertain
ment at home at practically no cost
to herself, and without injury to
your pride. I realize that most men
like to pay the bills for an evening
out, but in your present situation,
Dutch treats would seem the fair
thing. An evening spent in reading
and listening to the radio or playing
some game, following simple
dinner at which the girl is hostess,
can be heaven indeed if there is
real companionship, sympathy and
understanding
The fact that your girl has never
entertained you would show that she
isn't very domestic, to say the least.
And as for her parents attitude
toward you, any family of back
ground and breeding shows courtesy
and hospitality to its guests.
My advice to you, son, is to run
while you can You marry this girl
you will certainly get all that is COM
ing to you, for you are not wearing
binders! The best of luck to you"
We know the young man who
brought up this question of going
steady relationships will appreciate
the kindness of the above readers in
giving their opinions on his problem.
We have one other letter on the sub
ject which We wish to publish, but
it is so long that we'll have to save
it for next Thursdays column. 1t
gives a gratifying picture of a ro-
nance that is working beautifully,
and We think it will do every young
modern good to read it.

Il know his family we'll and have
been in his home often. He also
has been to my home and knows
my parents well. Ours is really a
great friendship. But that other
boy and girl haven't been very
friendly to each other, the girl par
ticularly. I think she is unfair
and ill-mannered.
IF the boy would find himself
another girl I think he would be
much happier"
An entirely different slant on the
situation comes from Drip" an
18-year-old boy. who says:
Il certainly think this young man
should change his ways and do it
mighty quickly If he thinks any
thing of the girl and really wants
to be her steady
"In the first place, how in the
world can he expect her or her
family to have the least bit of in
terest in him when he is apparently
very contented being out of work,
and is ready, willing and able to
rest upon the financial resources
which he has?
If I were he, I would land a job
as soon as possible, save the money
I had instead of spending it, and
create some enthusiasm in myself.
which in turn would make the girl
sit up and take notice I believe the
girl has got the idea that her steady
doesn't give a darn, and she in turn
feels the same way. And I don't
blame her in the least.
IF I were this young man
wouldn't expect the girls parents to
become interested in me until 1 made
myself very, very interesting. Take
this from some one who has found
that you have to be interesting
before any one will be interested in
you. And especially your girls par
ents, whose main thoughts are only
for their daughters happiness"
And finally comes a letter from S.
S. E., who wishes to say this to the
young man who started this discus

happiness as they are to hers. But
every mother has to 60 through this
experience. and all that she can do
is to gulp down her dose and pretend
she likes it.
But you are quite right in being
concerned about where, your young
unchaperoned daughter goes and
what she does, because she isn't as
wise as she thinks she is, nor as
capable of taking care of herself as
she believes herself to be. And many
girl blunders through sheer ig-
norance into doing things that
wreck her future, and many one
pays for single good time with
repentance for lifetime.
And they find out that what people
say about a girl fixes her status in
society and makes her. the kind of
girl whom people welcome to their
houses, that worthwhile men want
to take about and marry; or the kind
of girl who is taboo in good society,
whom mothers look down their noses
at, and whom boys play around with
and drink with, but don't pick out
for a wife.
Certainly no girls who value their
regulations would think of such a
thing as going away on week ends
and staying at hotels with young
men. Possibly it might be an inno-
cent little excursion, but this is a
censorious world and it would put
the worst construction on it. The
improperly of such a good time is
even recognized by law. as hotel
registers frequently furnish the evi-
dence on which divorces are granted.
1t isn't enough for a girl just to
be good. She has to look good and
act good and have people say good
things about her.

All in all, there is very little to
report. Most of the big markets are
beginning to don their spring dress

for bedding and, when the day is
warm enough, display of cut flow
ers in tubs that lends a riot of color

the moist earth and start green
things growing everywhere. (Here,

To get back to business, and stop
this hankering for the soil, we'd
better start thinking about the menu
for Sunday dinner. AS we said be-
fore, rib roast of beef is going to
be a real buy, and there is nothing
tastler! Garnish the roast with
watercress instead of parsley, for
added flavor, and serve with it the
luscious spiced figs that come in tins
as change from the usual picked
peaches or apricots.
But if you just don't feel like roast
beef this week end, then what? Well,
why not savory casserole of veal
and vegetables topped with biscuits?
Here's our idea, anyway:
SUNDAY DINNER MENU.
Broiled Grapefruit
Celery Curls, RddiSheS, Ripe OliUeS
Veal Casserole, Biscuit Top
Steamed Spinach With
Hard Cooked Egg
Garden Lettuce Salad With
Chopped Chiues

Spoons) and y tablespoon butter.
Broil for half an hour, keeping about
312 inches from the heating element,
or bake in the oven. If desired, pour
l tablespoon sherry over each half
just before serving. or use some of
the juice from bottle of maraschino
cherries. Garnish with the cherries,
and serve at once.
VEAL CASSEROLE, BISCUIT TOP.
112 pounds veal, cut in 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons fat

stantly. Cover Drowned meat with

and cook altogether, very gently. for
20 to 80 minutes longer. Use your
favorite biscuit recipe, or a prepared
biscuit mix, to make soft dough.
Pat dough l2-lnch thick, cut into
biscuits, and place on top of the hot
veal and vegetable mixture. Bake in
a moderate oven until the biscuits
are Drowned. This recipe should
serve five to six persons.
BANANA SOUFFLE.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Girls Wise to Avoid Any Actions
Which Cause Harmful Gossip

Dear Dorothy Dix: I have two
lovely daughters, 10 and II years
old. The older one has been work.
ing for six months and has been
allowed to keep her money. Now she
is planning vacation away from the
family at some resort hotel or adult
camp. Heretofore we have always
gone together somewhere for our
holidays, and I feel little hurt that
she should want to break away, but
do not feel that I can stop her,
since she is paying her own way. My
only worry is that she is too anxious
for a good time and may pay too
high pr1ce for 1t. She considers
me old-fashioned because I do not
believe it proper for two young men
and two girls to spend week-ends
together in nearby cities. My
daughter and her friend seem to
think that they can do as they please
and that it doesn't matter what
others say about them; that other
women criticize them just because
they are jealous Of their good times.
Won't you please tell these foolish
girls how much public opinion affects
girl? MRS. S. M.
Answer: You mustn't feel hurt
because your daughter wants to
break away from the family party
for her vacation and 60 off by herself
for her holiday. 1t Is her Fourth of
July proclamation of independence
She is proving to herself that she is
independent and on her own, and
that she can cut Mammals apron
