I had done But when she understood how it had all happened she forgave me mend and nd promised to wait until I was cut out In the meantime she moved to Utah but she wrote me regularly and encouraged me and promised she would C e true and be waiting when I got out But for the last month before I was let out I didn't bear hear from her at all I thought maybe maybe may may- be she he was sick and

girl to in invite invite in- in vite rite a boy who has never asked her for lor a date to her home I sa say she should wait until he has taken her hersome hersome some place before she invites him to call Please e give gi us the correct corred answer WE TWO I If It a 8 girl Is reasonably well acquainted ac acquainted ac- ac with a bo boy and they have been friends over a sufficient period of time she may Invite him to her home But she must not do so with the thought in mind that she is trying to hook him and as a matter of fact at the same time she invites him it would be a good plan to invite others so he would get no such false notion Our homes are our castles and we may invite people we like and arid whom we think may like us in return in a friendly way and do our best to prove ourselves
