Hhould I let them klsi mo or not. Tlicro Is another serious question which I want to nsk you. This winter ono boy about twenty-one j'cnrs old sliowod mo lots of attention, I wns madly In love with Mm niirl t thlnlr 1i In veil mo uenrlV. Ho went awny on business, and whllo ho was away ho wroto to mo twice or three times a week, wnen ne uuiqu baclt from his trip he wasn't as nlco ns ho wni vicroro ana ho went nroimu wuh another girl. I prctejided not to care, hut t renlly do In the bottom of my heart. What shall T do? . nilOKMN' IIKAItTED. Many contend that shimmying Is wiong. It depends entirely on bow It Is done. It la qulto possible to shimmy and toddlo decently, but In any case It Is very ugly, and If you can manngo not to you will bo wise to do so. Certainly do not nllow boys to tell you questionable stories. And do not let them kiss you. Don't worrv 'about tho younir man, If he really cared ho'll eomo back, and If lie aid not you -win ue ociier on. Kisses Another's Fiance Pear Cynthia- I nm engaged lo be, imifrlivl. nnil tnv liintltrt- Is nlSO CU- gaged. Now. the j-ouni; lady who I to be my brothor's wife In of a carefree nature and Is very irenerous with her kisses. If she Is hostess at an affair she thlnkB nothlmr of ltlsslnB every otto when tney leave, no manor u iney o malo or female, stranger or friend. Now;, as for myself, I will admit that I do not possess such generosity, nor do I havo so sunny a disposition. l'Urther more, a kiss means something to me. nnd I don't scramble mine. Now. by rending between tho lines you could get my meaning. This young lady always kisses my sweetheart when Bho comes and goes, and at times she will go over to him and say, "My, you look mvoet enough to bo klssed.'r While ho saying she'll pinch his cheek, pucker up her lips and lean toward him. Now. what Is a follow to do? That's actually asking' to bo kissed, and no man rofuses a lclss, especially, from a prettj' girl, nnd sho Is that. Now, T don't like tha.t, but I don't think It's Jealousy, because sho Is engaged nnd I need not fear that sho will take my sweetheart away from ne, but I do think It's a cao of selfishness. I think I want him all to myself, and that's why I can't bear her kissing him. Now, I don't hlamo niv sweetheart, because he has net or mado a move to kiss her before she starts It, so It would bo useless for me to go to him with my troubles. Sty brother is not the kind of u. man with whom you could talk a thlnir like this oer. He'd flare up and call mo a fool. I can't tell the girl, because I don't want to hurt her; and I can't got It ofT inj- mind Now, then, what other alternative tan you offer, dear Cynthia? VN OI.D-KASHIONED GIIU.. It would be well to tell your fiance how j-oii feel about It. Tell him you don't blame him for a minute, but It upsets j'ou very much, ns a kiss Is such a snored thlntr to j-ou. Ue will probably agree with j-ou and tr.v to avoid her caresscH In future. Hhe will soon stop If sho sees he Is bored by her actions. It Is not selllshncss on our part, but right feullng.
