‘ Vamp' Shows Remorse Over a Broken Heart

The “vamp" is conscious-stricken! Poor thing, she didn't mean any harm, but the last object of her vamping took her seriously. And now she is conscience-stricken end wonders whether she should marry him, even though she does not love him. After all, I suppose she is not such a harmful vamp, and she is a good example. Fortunately, the “man in the case" is only 17. Repentant Dear Miss Lee: I have been spoiled all my life, as i am the only child. I am 18 and go to dances and skating rinks most of the time. Everywhere I go I meet anew boy and make up my mind I will have him. I mean nothing by my flirtations. But the last boy thought I did mean something. He asked me to marry him. I refused. He cried, saying that I was the inly girl he ever loved and he would make me love him. Do yr.u think I should marry him? I don't think a girl should marry until she really loves. Or should I tell him he will find the girl he loves when he is older? He is 17. UNHAPPY VAMP. The first thing you should do Is to stop “robbing tbe cradle.” A man probably would have sense enough not to take your “vamping” seriously, but a boy has no defense against yourarts. So tell him that he will find his real

Martha Lee’s Advice

mate in a few years and that you want to be just a good friend and then profit by what has happened and turn your talents along other paths. Quarrelsome BOT: You must be of a quarrelsome nature, as you seem to have trouble with all your boy friends. If the Christmas present was valuable, you should give it back. If it was just a little friendship gift, keep it. Unless the second boy’s offense was too serious to be forgiven you might let him come back. Your obedience should be to your mother. Do as she wishes. Your stepfather has no right to ask you to do the housework and work downtown, too. as long as it is not a financial necessity. You can do nothing about the boy who stopped writing. I think you should do something to sweeten your nature. TOM AND JERRY: Your joint earnings could be stretched to meet your needs if you should marry now, but I am afraid it would be hard sledding. I should suggest that you wait for about a year and, in the meantime, save up something for a “nest egg.”

Old-Fashioned Dear Miss Martha Lee: 1. lam 16 and a junior in hifh 6chool. There is one fellow with whom I have been having "dates.’' He is a freshman in college. Our parents are well acquainted. Although m.v parents do not want me to fall bodily in love, they do trust me with this one boy and think I should not take other "dates" without their knowing the boy. how old he is and his parents. Since I am so young and my “dates" are so limited I like to take other dance ‘‘dates." My folks think 1 should not without first asking him. Now. as long as we are not engaged, what business of his is it? 2. Do you think that wearing a fraternity pin mesas real engagement? 3. At my age, having only one regular “date" a week, outside of dances, parties, etc., what should my "dating” hour be? KATT. 1. How old-fashioned of your parents, to want to know something about the boys with whom you go! Old-fashioned, and sensible. I cannot argue against them, Katy, for your parents are right. They want to protect you. However, I do not think they are right to insist upon your asking the other boy before you have other “dates.” You are too young to have just one boy friend, and it is not of interest to him as long as you are not engaged. 2. A fraternity pin is taken as a sign of an engagement now. 3. As you are in a small town, I should say that week-day dates should end at 10:30, with an extension of time for parties. 4. A man who really loves a girl wants to protect her. Your cousin's fiance loves himself and his own pleasures. not the girl. At Dances SWEET SIXTEEN: 1. Yes. let your program be filled in as fast as the dances are requested, unless you do not care to dance with all those who ask you. Usually the escort takes care of the girl’s program. He will

He will take his dances before he begins to fill out your program or gives it to you to be filled. 2. Yes—you dance the first and last dances with your escort. 3. If you hhve a fan, you can fasten yoilr program to It. If not, carry it with the cord over your hand. 4. If a boy asks for a dance, show him your program, if you have it, or refer him to your escort. 5. Between dances, the dancers usually congregate in rroups or move about the hall. 6. Although many girls use powder in the dance hall now', it is better to go to the dressing room. WAITING: I do not know whether or not this woman is your “boss.” as I do not know' whether you have a legal guardian; but she has the right Idea. Wait until you are two or three years older before you have "dates.” Pointed Dear Miss Lee: I have been coins: with a girl for three or four week* am! taking her to church on Friday night*. Do you think she really cares tor me? MARVIN W. Goodness gracious me, I cannot read the girl’s mind. Evidently she likes you or she would not accept your company. Further than that I cannot say. FREDDIE: I believe it would he best, after all, for you to tell the girl

the truth. That would not hurt her' more than for you to break dates, deceive her or do something else which would cause her to break the engagement. Tell her the truth, then she will release you, I am sure. However, you should give the girl the privilege of giving the impression that it was she who caused the breaking of the engagement. WOMEN!
