Answers Distressed DISTRESSED It Is a little dldlcult to advise jou. my dear, because you see I do not know your parents' reasons for not liking the young man In ques tion There seems to be no reason why he should eo Into your store three times a day unless he Is attracted to you, and If he Is ingaged to another girl he should not do this If he must buy things In your place eery day it would seem as well for him to do so all at one time There Is no actual harm In his doing so. but It makes persons talk, nnd oung girls can never afford to hate rumors and gossip spread Hhout them. It seims rather a mistake not to hae boy or men friends and not 10 go out and around with them Your parents may h.o some very good reason why they do not want you to do so, but under ordinary conditions It Is not wise. Young perhons are meant to meet and be benslble friends, and If men and girls do not get to know a good many of their own age they will be apt to marry the first one who comes along, Just to get out of being held tn, and have unhappa Ucs in con sequence. If you could find a thoroughly re spectable place to board and could gain our parents' consent, I would advise the position In the city, but not without your parents' consent while you arn under age. Parents usually have good reasons for their mandates, and It Is a wise girl who listens to her father anl mother. She will not be apt to regre. It.
