Unless your mother has asked him to stay at your house, your family should provide a room- in the hotel for him.

The boy would pay all his hotel expenses and probably take you to a tea-room or a restaurant or dinner. In answer to other letters: It is occasions, quite proper that girl invite a boy to go to the theater or the movie with her. She should, however, secure the tickets in advance and tell him when she invites him, "I have two tickets for the theater (or to whatever it is she is inviting him); would you like to go?" Or better, she gives a party of four, in which case she gets four tickets. Under no circumstances should she invite a man to go with her and then let him buy the tickets at the window.

L. G. wants to know: What should be written on photographs to be given to relatives and friends for graduation? Answer: You write whatever message is suitable for each particular person.

BARBER TATALKING is a pleasant pastime and exercise in the spring, if you can swing along comfortable, healthy feet, but far from on, enjoyable it every step causes twinge of pain. Sometimes a pair of well-fitting shoes will relieve foot discomfort, sometimes stockings a size or SO larger than you have been accustomed to wearing.

A visit to a chiropodist may be necessary to restore aching feet to a normal state of health. Although there are many reasons for foot discomfort, neglect of cleanliness is very often the cause. Persons who are meticulous in their attention to finger nails, teeth, and other details of personal care, often leave their feet to shift for themselves. "But I take a bath every day!" they are likely to exclaim, if this is Rinses Bring Out Highlights in Hair Blond, brown and brunet, red, white and gray hair can be brightened by introducing rinses other than the regular water rinse in the shampooing process.

This is chiefly true of persons who prefer the shower bath to the tub. Feet inclosed in shoes throughout the day become bathed in perspiration and a certain degree of soil, especially in warm weather. To cleanse them properly you must scrub them with soap, especially the toes and the spaces between the toes. They should then be very carefully dried. Never incase clean feet in soiled stockings.

Stockings should be changed at least once a day and more often if the feet have been especially active. This will make the stockings wear longer and keep the feet healthier. Shoes. too, should be given an occasional airing and rest. Answers to Beauty Questions M.

In the winter-time, he shows the Beattie home to to them on their daily do everything, from waiting table problems. One morning, Mrs. Beattie was upstairs sewing busily when the doorbell rang, several times. As seconds elapsed and the doorbell continued to insist upon personal attention, Mrs. Beattie advanced to the head of the stairs to ascertain the whereabouts of the faithful Adolph.

Consequently, she was in time to overhear his conversation with the unknown caller. It turned out to be a woman selling aprons. As Adolph registered no enthusiasm, she resorted to the usual sob-story tactics, elaborating on the frayed condition of her finances and winding up with the awesome threat that he had but himself to blame for anything which happened after that door closed behind her retreating, form. "The folks are reiterated Adolph, reprehensibly. "If you don't buy some of these shall aprons," That have didn't to announced go depress to the the poor Adolph woman, a "I a bit.

Two burly policemen who were sitting peacefully in one of the municipal towing cars, eyed him sympathetically for a time.

Then they gallantly offered their services. The young man was overcome with gratitude, explaining that he had lost his keys. Then the police produced that trick little wire entanglement with which they snare the locked door of doubleparker and in a jiffy the car was unlocked. But, in the process, one of the policemen was smitten with a troublesome suspicion. Something about the color of the tie the stranger wore disturbed his nervous system.

The conversation didn't seem to have quite the proper ring of truth. In any case, he suddenly felt an urge to see the man's driving license. When there didn't seem to be any, the two benefactors reverted to type and rushed him off to jail. None too soon, either. Once arrived in court, they discovered that the car they had been helping him into was stolen property.

Incidentally, he already had chalked up a long record for thievery. As the kind soul who relayed Jewish Council Gives Annual Service Prize this tale to me remarked.

Mrs. Spaulding is one of those conscientious and far-sighted parents who endeavors to answer faithfully and fully at least half of the running fire of inquiries which her son lets loose at frequent intervals. No doubt she figures that, since you never can tell in what direction the young mind will shoot if left to itself, she's not going to be careless about tending to its needs. Nevertheless, she was a bit distressed to note the solemn trend Bill's thoughts were taking on this particular day.
