A girl should not go car-rldlng with boys at night unless attended by older persons. II a boy does not end hb call or leave at a reasonable hour, the girl should tell him she does not make a practice of staying up later than a certain hour. It is always quite proper for a girl to ask a young man to call again If he is Ire ply calling n her at her home, but not If he has escorted Tier to some placo of amuiemcnt. The young man should thank her for attending the danee or party with him and he young lady should express herself as having hav-ing enjoyed the evening. If the young man wishes to return he will ask to do so, without a special Invitation.

Let the l-oy walk home with both of you. Surely you can sll enjoy being together. Don't y3u think so? "Tlie more the merrier," you know. It l never quite proper for any couple. een though en gaged, to be so "exclusive" that they aliua R their friends. (2) This Is the boy's privilege, F and If he Is a- pleasant, agTceable young man JL why should the girl object to him showrng at- It tentton to more than one?
