She is the kind of girl that will not have anything to do with fellows she does not know. I met her at a friend's home not long ago, but she just bare- ly speaks to me. I bought a heart- shaped box of candy and sent it up to her home with a note on Valentine Day but she has never come in since, and I am wild for fear she is offend- ed. What can I do about it? Terry. Answer: Even the stateliest girls are thrilled by Valentines, Terry, par- ticularly. when they take the form of chocolates. Far from taking offence, I feel sure that the object of your affections was pleased by your gift. ag SILK STOCKINGS RUN-PROOFS | | 1 | | SHEER . $1.35 @ Wonder of wonders, the new | | OAL ANTHRACITE COAL POCAHONTAS, Egg Size Red Jacket, Egg Size Solvay Coke | CORNISH COAL CO. s ~ Phone 44 VULCANIZING | | Tire Repairs of all kinds BATTERIES Recharging Repairing All Work Guaranteed STRATFORD TIRE & BATTERY 132 Ontario Street PHonges--Day 800 Night { gal 1339-J Gold Stripe Gothamettes!

Dear Miss St, John: My cousin and I were brought up © on farms. My parents, were very strict. Soon after we came to the city (a big city a long way from Strat--- ford) we both became engaged to be married. Our work is in a different lovers' -- homes and places of business. We -- meet many young men, and have the & part of the city from our opportunity to accept their attention without fear of our boy friends know- I have been ing anything about it. true to my fiance at all times, but my cousin has 'different ideas. many affairs with men. she cares for any of them. But she selects the ones she knows have money and "strings them along" until she gets some fine presents from -- them, jewelry and expensive things that I have to do without. When she finds that she has gone as far as she dare go ,she quarrels with them. My cousin certainly has a great time. She says I am just plain slow, small town. Sometimes .I almost think she is right. Does it pay to be prim? Alicia. Answer: One does not have to be | prim to be honest, Alicia. Your cous- in is either fundamentally dishonest or worse. Sooner or later her esca- pades will reach the ears of the man ~ she wants to marry. Then she will pay the piper! Most girls are fond of gay life. But when greed of expensive possessions governs her dealings with men she is -- wilfully treading a dangerous road. You would do well to avoid that type of girl.

But unless I am at the rink (I never go oftener than three times a week) I am expected to be in bed by nine p.m. If there is no ice I can go to see neighbor girls if they do not live too far away. What a life! Moth- er says that I would be too tired to study next day if I stayed up late. But that is all blah, for other girls get by if they are a little tired. Don't you think my family is too silly and out of date for word#? Louisa. Answer: Well, Louisa, it seems that mothers and older sisters have a rath- ~ er tight hold on one whe none is thir- teen. So I fear that you will 'just have to submit to their rules and 'regulations as gracefully as you can until you are a little older. But how happy you will be then because your family took such excellent care of you. Your gad-about friends will be about frayed out by that time. They will be nervous, thin, tired of eye, and Oh what complexions, every bit bought |from the drug store. While you, lit- 'tle Louisa, will be brim full of fun land pep, a lovely natural complexion |will be the reward of those long hours of sleep when you were in your early teens.
