Martha Lee's Advice Burdens of Fate Often Make Love s Road Rough

Sometimes Fate is pretty unkind and it looks as if she has a grudge against us. But perhaps she is merely testing us. to see whether we can stand up under “tough luck.” A 19-year- old girl has told me her troubles. She Is engaged and was to be married in June. F'our months ago her father died and now she must take care of her mother and four little children. She has submitted to Fate and feels that ehe may as well break the engagement. I hope her fiancee does not feel the same way; for a girl who has "spunk" enough to bear such a blow without flinching is worth while waiting for. Supports Family Dear Martha Lee: I am If* and engaged But about four month a ago my father died and. as I am the eldest, it is up to me to take care of mother and four little sisters We had planned to marry in June, but said we bad better wait another year. Would you keep him waiting-, or break the engagement ? I don't see how things can be any better next year. I am working in an office, making SCO a j week. But that is not enough to keep us going. Could you suggest something that I could do extra, or some other place I could go to make money? • PAULINE.

You have a lot of pluck. Pauline., and I am sure you will come out on top. If your fiancee is willing to wait a year, don’t break the engagement. It will give you more courage to keep on working, if he is waiting for you. And you cannot tell things may be far different by next year. To earn extra money a number of girls and women make drawn-thread handkerchiefs and do other dainty sewing. That is about the least tiring work, physically, for a girl who has been working in an office all day. althought it is rather tedious. If you are talented at painting, you might be able to moke enameled lioxes and novelties. It you can sell such things Independently they will bring more than if you sell them to a store. A Home-Breaker LONSOME: Do you want to be known as a "home breaker"? You will be, if you continue to do as you are doing now. You will be accused of causing the man's separation from

his wife. It is best you stop going with him. HOPEFUL: When your friends are 20 and bored you still will be enjoying the words of Dickens and Shakespeare and enjoying life as well. But you should not seclude yourself too much and drift away from your friends altogether. A girl of 15 should have the friendship of other young people. You will become a “bookworm” if you are not careful. Make it a 1&-50 proposition, giving some time to your books and some to your friends. Uncertain of Love Dear Miss Lee: I am 19 and have been keeping company with two frirlg. Both girls care for me. I think. But I don't know which one cares for me toe more, or which I care for the more. What should I do? G. B. J. You should keep on being friendly with both the girls, and not worry. When you do learn to like one better than the other, you will know without asking any outsider. V. II.: “Faint heart ne'er won fair lady,” V. H. So oif you want to go with the girl, you had better ask her. Yes, it would be all right to send her a box of candy. Dinner Etiquet T. B. C.: You are giving yourself very little time to arrange for a dinner party. I suppose it is to be quite informal. Seven o'clock is a suitable hour. If it is the custom in your town, the dinner could begin as early as 6:30. Give the guests just time enough to mingle and get over the. first stiffness, before announcing diner. That would be about ten or fifteen minutes. Serve a soup (cream of celery or cream of asparagus Is good) or a cocktail (oyster, crab, fruit), if you prefer —it is not necessary to serve both soup and cocktail at an Informal dinner: meat or fowl, potatoes, one or two other vegetables, a relish, a salad, dessert and coffee. The kind of entertainment depends on the guests. You may have cards, dancing or music. Friends Are Barred LONELY: Yes, I do think you are old enough to "keep company." and I think that your grandparents are

MOTHER! MOVE CHILD’S BOWELS “California Fig Syrup” fs Child’s Best Laxative

Hurry Mother! A teaspoonful of “California Fig Syrup” now will thoroughly clean the little bowels and in a few hours you have a well, playful child again. Even If cross, feverish, bilious, constipated or full of cold, childre# love Its “fruity” taste, and mothers can rest easy because it never fails to work all the souring food and nasty bile right out of the stomach and bowels without griping or upsetting the child. Tell your druggist you want only the genuine “California Fig Syrup,” which has directions for babies and children of all ages printed on bottle. Mother, you must say “California." Refuse any imitation. —Advertisement.

foolishly strict and that your brother is inconsistent. But I do not know how you can convince them of that fact. Os course your grandparents think this is best for you. It might do some good to remind them that, when they were young, girls were not supposed to be able to take care of themselves, because they lived such sheltered lives. But, ns you are a wage-earner, you deserve some independence. If they trust you to go out and work day after day, surely they should trust you to act wisely in your friendships. Try that argument. Then see whether they will not let you bring one or two of your girl friends home. After meeting them they may change their minds—if they are the right sort of friends. Ask your grandparents to give your friends a chance, at least. MILDRED: Yes, there are a number of girls' boarding schools; but I could not possibly tell you “all about them,” even though I had the space. Many magazines carry lists of such schools. From the lists you can get the names and addresses and send away for catalogues. INNOCENT A. E. K.: There is nothing to "explain.” I am glad you realize the difference between the. good and the “bad” boys. It does not hurt to let the “bad” ones think you are “stuck up.” Just keep on being friends—only friends —with those whom you know to be desirable. WOMEN!
