JUST AMONG || OURS ELVES A Regular Department Conducted for | Mirror Readers by Ina St. John. A TRUE FRIEND Dear Miss St. John: I would like very much to know that if a person was to send candy, smokes and things of that line to some- one in a school of correction or re- formatory, would it be given to the person to whom it was sent. I would like very much to know as soon as possible--this week if you could. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. PLAIN ME. Answer: A parcel sent to such an institution as you mention will be _ given to the one in whom you are in- terested, Plain Me. That is the rule in Canada. We hope that a brighter day will dawn soon for you and _ your friend. INA ST. JOHN. PLATONIC FRIENDSHIP Dear Miss St. John: Last summer I went out with a sol- dier, He went overseas in the early winter. We were not really engaged but he asked me to wait for him, and I have written three times a week and sent one parcel each month. Now an- other man has asked me to marry him and I said I would. He is the only man for me. Now I know I can't wait for J. Do you think I should keep on writ- 'ing to J. and tell him when he comes back? BABS. Answer: Well, Babs, if you gradual- ly reduce the number of letters and make them impersonal your friend will understand. Perhaps he too has found, or will soon find someone he can really love. INA ST. JOHN. SHE HAS EVERYTHING (7?) Dear Miss St. John: My girl friend married a wealthy man. Before that she was a great girl to remember everyone's birthday and to send presents to new babies and things like that. Now she has changed. She is very cold and self- centred. She never puts herself out one iota for anyone. As for remember- ing children, she has forgotten she ever knew any. I am sorry about this Do you think she will always be as she is now? " MARY. Answer: It is impossible to predict your friend's future attitude toward life, Mary. However, very likely her sudden transition to wealth has turned her head temporarily. She no longer needs the comfort of a child's smile or a friend's letter of appreciation. She feels that she has her heart's desire. Perhaps it is a phase that will wear off as your friend learns that money can only buy material things, and that the heart craves something quite dif- ferent. INA ST. JOHN. SECRETLY MARRIED Dear Miss St. John: I am secretly married to a chap who boards with my folks. He is not strong and he does not care much. We still have to live at home until he makes more money. I knew they See "Directory Page" zZ a would all urge us to wait. (I am just Seventeen and still at school). So we decided to be married and keep it a secret for a couple of years. Now Mother is put out when I refuse dates with other boys. Should I tell her? Do you think she will be angry? i s. Canada's Nutrition Program Sponsors Say-- .
