THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Man Entangles Himself in Own Web of Deceit
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” It would seem that the whole world must know that by now. But evidence shows this not to be the fact.
That lirst little lie is told with little thought or worry. Not until It is followed by another and another and another, until the web becomes almost too much involved to be untangled, does Its x-eal significance become apparent. It is only the most strait-laced person who would object to the “white lie,” that gives the homely girl self-assui-ance because she is told she is beautiful; that eases the pain of a heartbroken mother. But there is a vast difference between that and the "real” lie, which invariably l-eacts on the originator. Getting in Deep Dear Martha L< < I’ll bet you'll think I'm a little fool when you find out that 1 am a boy and only 14 years old. But. Miss Leo love knows neither sex nor age. (I made that up. 1 I am a high school freshman. I was inter os ted in radio and things and my marks were fine, but during the last month I met and fell passionately in love with the cutest girl. She sits near me in study hall. She is a senior My deep affection made me lie and I told her I was 18 years old, resuming my studies alter an interruption caused by financial difficulties. One night v.e went to see "The Wren. It sort of inspired me to boldness, so. coining home. I asked her to marry me. She accepted. Now I don't know what to do! She wants mo to quit school In June, and get my job back. 1 hail told her 1 worked three years for an Indianapolis bank —another iio. My poor dad and mother don’t suspect a thing. Would you advise me to put up j a bluff quit school in June, try to get a ; job and marry Betty? I know that if 1 don't marry her now I never can. She is three years older than I. I do love this little girl, and I look 18. If I could keep my parents from knowing, I might induce her to marry secretly, so I could continue my schooling. Lovo maketh a man to do foolish things FRANK K Even if you were 18, you would be too young to marry-. Furthermore, the girl also is too young, and a girl who would have her husband sacrifice hie education would be the sort of wife who dragged him down, anyway. Tell the girl the truth. You might as well do It now, because she Is practically certain to find it out some time. You'll get over this. Just as every boy gets over what he considers his first serious love affair. Go i>ao.k to your radio, Fran! I I cause you less worry than girls will. Sister Interferes Dear Miss Lee: I am 16 years old and attend htah school in Indianapolis 1 am not Glowed to have any boy friends come to see me. Now I know it is foolish to fall in love but I think It would be all right to have I date once in a while on Saturday or Sunday night. „ . I liiivb a 'aru'f numW of aintfr* who ari nearlv all married They were allow,i to go j with bovs at a younger age than mine They ! ar • all on tny side but fine, and she was i married when she was 17 Sic- is always wiling mother l don't need to have date* > think it (s none of her business and have told her so. ~ . , Von do-i t need to tell me I ehoulda t hav dates tv us I have heard it many times and I am right here to tell tho whole wide world it is no fun to go to school and play and read all the time I will be 17 soon 1 have many chances to go with fellows, out 1 always have to say "No I want some advice. NOBODY’S BABY. Your sister realizes what a mistake she made by marrying so young, and is trying to save you from the same mistake. 1 feel sure your ingratitude hurts her more than her advice hurts you. Perhaps your mother would let you have groups of girl and boy friends occasionally. You could have a good time, and still would not be worrying her by being downtown or out dancing late at night. Don't fret under this restraint. Tn another year or so you will realize
Martha Lee Says-
your family just wanted to protect you and you will be glad you did not start “dates” so young. Christmas Questions Dear Miss Lee: 1. Is it proper for a girl to return a gift to a boy friend who has sent her a gift? Would it be all right for a girl to send her boy friend a Christmas gift? 3- Is it proper for a girl friend to correspond with a fellow I go with, and not tell me of it? Would you call her a true friend? 4. Do you think it is right for a girl to call a boy over tho telephone? A READER. 1. It is not necessary for a girl to sepd a boy a gift just because he sends her one. 2. If she has known hirn for quite a long time. 3. Sounds as if your friend is trying to “beat your time,” doesn’t it? It would have been natural, as your friend, for her to tell you of the correspondence. 4. Only if she must break an engagement, or has something of importance to tell the boy. Sacrifice Unappreciated Dear Miss Lee lam too young to be in love, but am very fond of c rtam young gentleman about 17 years old. I have been going with him since September In the last two weeks. I have been asked for dates by very popluar fellows. He has heard, but has not heard that I refused them, Just for him For this reason, he has not been down for five nights. Maybe I think that is quite a long time because I am lonely, is it or isn't it': Sha.il f just let him find it out himself? I hate forwardness, but what would b worse than “just a little blue? WONDERING. Five nights a long time? Oh. not so very. Besides, there is no reason why the boy should be angry. I think you were foolish to refuse the invita tions of these other hoys for the reason you give. There is no reason why a girl of your age should let one boy monopolize her.

Dining Room Is Fairyland
LEFT TO RIGHT—KENNETH SKAGGS, ROSEMARY CRAIG AND GRACE WELLER.
To the three kiddies shown here, a hospital is not a great big, dreary place where one must walk on tiptoe and speak only in undertones. Oh no! To them, a hospital is an immense, clean playhouse, where meals are taken in a light, pretty room where painted soldiers march around the walls against a background of soft sky and green grass.

LETTER FROM JOHN A EDEN PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CARTON. CONTINUED This brings me, Syd, to the latest complication in my complicated married life. It seems that the Hamiltons decided very suddenly to go to Europe and telegraphed Leslie to that effect She, without any excuse or even consulting me in the least, informed me last night that she was going to New York to hid them goodby. There were two reasons why I didn't want Leslie to go to New York just now. First, you can see just what this might do to whet the Ups of the scandalmongers. Secondly. I was seriously afraid she was using

The dining room in the children’s ward of the city hospital is a favorite spot of the children. The three shown here are at breakfast. Kenneth Skaggs, 8, of 2206 Pleasant St., and Rosemary- Craig. 11, of 1222 Calhoun St., are going home soon, after many weeks, at the hospital. The other little girl is Grace Weller, 7, of 1036 W.

her mother and father as an excuse to get a chance to consult Struble & Struble. On the spur of the moment I flatly forbade her to go. Here I made the mistake of my life, for this noon Leslie started for New A’ork with the baby and nurse, remarking casually that I could go to the restaui rant and club for my meals until she returned. A Mistake? Since she left I ant wondering if Leslie has found that life with a comparatively poor man, a man who has played a devilishly fool trick with his finances, has made her feel she has made a mistake. I have always been satisfied that

Karl Whitney was in love with her. but, like an egotistical ass, whenever I have had that disturbing thought 1 have said to myself, “Leslie chose me.” Now I am not so sure. She might have had a quarrel with Karl, you know, and married me merely to spite him. I don't believe I’d want to live, Syd, if anything would happen that would separate Leslie from me now. She has become one of my habits—the only- one I don’t want to break at the present time. Tonight up here in this room where everything speaks of her, I knew exactly what it would mean If she should never come back into it again. Yet I let her go away without even bidding her goodby, such is the perverse pride of man. I could not help but admire her cleverness, Syd, In stopping the mouths of the gossips. You know I Inadvertently referred to the scandal that the Perier picture had precipitated. That is where I made another mistake. On the Job But she immediately thought of packing i p the baby and old Nannie, sending a notice to the society’ columns of all the papers telling them that her mother and father were going abroad to see her young sister, and that she had taken our little son down to bid his grandfather goodby. You and I, Syd, would ne'-er have thought of anything so clever as that. All the while I am wondering if she is going to see Struble & Struble. You needn’t try to get even with me for precipitating y r ou into thic moss of mine, because I am miser- | able enough as it is to satisfy even - you if you were my worst enemy in- | stead of the steadfast friend of a ; fool named JACK.
