I have another sister who does not

stay with this other sister but she

I truly want to be a good girl. The
sister I live with is not as we'll off
as this other sister and we seem to
quarrel a bit too much. Should
go to live with my other sister?
Ans: Not if you value your self
respect. This other sister of yours
is no morally fit companion for a
young girl. The people she asso-
ciates with are even less fit. Life
with your older sister may seem
unbearable at times, and it may
not offer the worldly pleasures en-
joyed by the other sister but
it's a clean, honest atmosphere that
you never need be ashamed of.
Stay where you are.
