LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH GRAVES HAMILTON TO HER DAUGHTER, MRS. LESLIE PRESCOTT. I have been somewhat worried about you, dear, daughter, because I have not had a letter from you for over a week, but I expect that your unusual household tasks have kept you busy. Alice is ’way up in the air and walking on sky-blue clouds tipped with gold because her father has consented to let her go abroad. She is leaving on the Mauretania two weeks from today. I have received a cable from Mrs. Stokley, saying not to worry about Alice as she will meet her In Liverpool and take good care of her and since they will be returning when she is ready to come home, she will bring her safely home. “As Own Brother Would” I don't think I would have consented to Alice's going at all if Karl Whitney had not been going over this summer. Some way he is such a dependable chap and 1 know that he will give Alice an awfully good time and will be as careful of her as her own brother •would. Already he and Alice have planned to do London in thorough fashion. Karl, you know, ever since you and he were sweethearts, has seemed like one of the family. f If you show this letter to Jack, dear, tell him that I have never regretted for one moment giving you to him because I think it will do you both good to have some few worries in the beginning of your married life. It was these that cemented the affection of your father ana me so closely together. You come to know a person better if you bear troubles, and griefs together. The man or woman who wrote that song.

Martha Lee's Advice Having ‘Steady’ Warps . Outlook of Young Girl

MOST mothers want their daughters to he sought after and to have many suitors. They want to feel that, when the daughters fall in love, it will be with the best man among a

number. But the mother of one 17-year-old girl who writes to me insists that her ! daughter have a “steady” friend, in- ! stead of a number. Foolish mother! She doesn’t realize that her daughj ter's likes will change a great deal I in the next few years, and that. If j she knows only one man. she will j have a warped point of view. Not Friendly Doar Mi? J.ee: lamin my teens I have chummed with a girl over since wo were snail. I care far a boy. but he seems to care for my girl friend. He gave her his picture end makes dates with hr-. How can I win him? Or do you think It is wrong | for me to-care for him when my chum likes | him? HEARTBROKEN Although you do not say, I get the | impression that you are not very far j along in your teens. Even if you j were .it would be a most unfriendly j act to try to win away your chum’s | boy friend. Starting Young I Dear Miss Lee: We are two girls both !14 We shall be juniors in high school | next fall and we have been planning to go Ito Wellesley when we finish high We have ! been going with two boys for quite a while, i They are planning to go to Purdue. Jack. : whose father is a lawyer, is 18, and Bill, j whose father is a physician. 19. Do you j think they are too old for us? Do you think it proper for us to go with ! them if our parents do not object. Some t of the girls told us that if we went with them now. the boys would not care to go with us when we are older. But we think they am just jealous. Please don’t tell us we are too young, because we are told that every day, and, besides, it sounds so old-fashioned BILLY AND PEGGY. You ask fme for advice, then beg me not to say the very thing you must have known I would say. 1 am not old-fashioned in most ways, hut I am old-fashioned enough to think that girls of 14 should not go

you will remember only "traveled in far lands” and “touched wedded hands.” He didn't know the sad happiness of a head bowed with grief upon the breast of the other w-hose tears are mingled with yours. He did not know the feeling of standing side by side, facing the w-hole world when you thought its thumbs were turned down. “Watched Fitful Breathing” I am sure he did not know the anxiety of sitting beside a little cradle with his hands clasped In the hands of his wife while they watched over the fitful breathing of a sick child, hoping, praying, that it might live. No. my daughter, I know it is the fashion to try and slip out of the sorrows of this world; I know It is the fashion to feel very much of a martyr if everything is not cakes and ale when It comes your way. I also know that with the annoyances, the pain, the grief, the unhappiness which has come to your father and me, has always come love. That, love, who sometimes stays away w r hen one is on pleasure bent and Is always looking for joy and thrills. Alice wants you to come to New York to see her off. You might run down on the evening boats getting there in the morning. If you do this I think your father and I will come back with you and spend a couple of days before we go on home. Dad says he wants to see If you can cook as well as I did when we were first married. I tell him I know you can do it better for, between you and me, I was not a very good cook in those days. Until I see you, your loving MOTHER. Next: Leslie Prescott to her sister, Alice Hamilton—A sister’s rebuke.

out with hoys at night. One reason is that they need sleep. Another Is that it makes them grow np too soon and spoils their pleasures when they arc older. The boys might take you out when you get older (although it is true frequently that a girl who starts going at 14 Is left sitting at IS), but you would be bored, because nothing would be now to you. There you have it. I know I told you things you did not want to hear. Hut —‘ facts is facts," you know. Worries About Child Dear Martha Lee: Beth my husband and I are 28. We have been married ten years and have a little girl 9 years old He makes 545 a week. He says he doesn't want to keep a homo and ho is not satisfied tied up m marriage. He seems angry ami nervous. He spends so much money on his car that l.e always is behind with his bills. He finds fault with mo because I ask him where he was when he comes home at 1 and 2 a. m. Ha says that he doesn't care far me that, ho wants mo not to earo for him I work enough to dress myself and am neat and always try to keep my home cheerful. I am consider-d as good-looking as he. Must I leave with my baby, or stay and keep a home for her? He ignores the baby altogether. WORRIED. You should try to keep your home, for your daughter’s sake; but just having a home will do little good if her father sets her a bad example instead off a good one. Try to appeal to him through the child and to show him that she is old enough now to be influenced by his actions. He’s Bashful Dear Miss I am a girl of 17 and I went with a boy of 18 for five months. Then we had a quarrel. T was to blame I love him and think he loves me. He is rather bashful. Would you please tell me what to do? BETSY. You might write the boy a note, telling him you realize you were to blame for your quarrel and are sorry. Don’t take your "love” too seriously, Betsy, for a few' more veal's. Engaged Girl’s Troubles APRIL: Your future mother-in-law apparently is one of those w'ho are jealous of their sons’ w’ives. Because of this you must handle her carefully. There is no reason you should not invite your fiance for Sunday dinner, but, to avoid trouble, you might make it just every other Sunday for a while. You cannot force his mother to Invite you to her Imne for meals. So just accept her explanation without comment. a.nd be especially thoughtful of her. Don’t let this prey on your mind, for it is not serious. Let Him Go Dear Miss Lee—l am a girl of 18 years and have gone with a fellow who is almost 18. We never had any words, but he just quit asking me for dates. He always seemed as though he liked me. and I like him very much. He thinks I don't care for him, and when he sees me he; simply ignores me. How can I let him know that I do care and am ready to forgive and forget? BOBBY. You might go to him on bended knee and beg him to let you forgave him. But I should advise you, rather than to forget his faults, ~o forget him, as it is quite evident ht does not desire your friendship. Wants Friends Dear Martha Lee: Please tell me how to win girls’ friendship. lam a girl of 14 and always try to treat the girls nice and would spend my last cent on them. Am I too generous? They seem to ignore me whenever they have any one else. Just this morning I called up my closest girl friend and asked her to come up. but she made some excuse and then told me of going out with the rest of the girls in the car after she left me after school. Please advise me. VERY UNHAPPY. Don’t let the girls “walk over” you. It is all right to be generous, but don’t give constantly to girls who do not give you even friendship in return. Make yourself Interesting, so they will want you with them. Don’t be afraid to express your opinions, but always be ready to listen to other people’s opinions, and to their stories. Be sweet, but not so sweet that they think you merely as someone to run errands for them. And don’t be oversensitive, or you will imagine injustices that were never meant that way.
