"UTAH." Logan. Dear Questioner: 1 can't helleve you meant what you wrote. If you were a boy you wouldn't would-n't want to Tnarry a girl whose lips are "free of charge" to all. would you? "Familiarity breeds contempt. " you know, and you lose the respect of people. You may say, "she Uvea In a small town." but I do not. When I go to a dance I never miss a dance and I I have a lovely time wherever I go, but I know that no kissing goes on. I love good, elran times and I have them. I am sure you will not always think this way any way. because you will get aick and disgusted with It. BELL. Utah. And now I think, perhaps, we have riven all the space we should to these letters In renard to "petting." and poa-albB poa-albB I should add Just a word in order to put myself on record as opposed to this practice by young boys and girls, although I think perhaps most of the objections have been voiced In the excellent ex-cellent replies that have been received from readers. One of the greatest objections ob-jections to the practice Is that It makes the girl "common" and an object of derision de-rision by the very boys who encourage her to take part in It. These boys often talk about such girls and point them out to other boys as girls who are "easy;" and generally, when It comes to marrying, they light shy of the girl who Is willing to indulge In this questionable ques-tionable pastime promiscuously. There Is no question of "love" about this petting pet-ting it Is an Indulging of the senses only, and is demoralizing to boys as well as girls. In every Instance those who have taken sides with the practice of "petting" havo admlttted it can be carried too far, and in so doing give the best possible reason for not practicing prac-ticing It at all.

I am afraid I cannot help you on this, dear, except to say that if possible, it is much the better way tc pay no attention atten-tion to it and simply ignore the girl and her actions.

I wish you success and remain, truly vours. j ."WILD KITTY."" Salt Lake. Thank you very much. dear. You have expressed It very nicely indeed. (1) I think the Idea of a "hope chest" is for a young girl to put into It articles ar-ticles for use in the new home she may some day have, aa well as lingerie for her own wear. There is no set rule as to what it should contain, the girl's circumstances largely governing this. I Table linen, bed linen, silver, etc., are all appropriate, and if you are good at embroidering, hemstitching, etc., it is nice lo make an article as you can. a set of dainty doilies, napkins, pillow slips, a brassiere, or anything that you care to make yourself, or to buy a piece of silver or a table cloth, a pair ofj linen sheets, some fine china anything: like that can go Into your hope chest even pictures, sofa pillows, quilts you see the list is endless. I would not have too large an assortment of lingerie, as the styles change so frequently- that it would not pay you. (2) No. dear. I would not even attempt to do so. There are those who specialize in reading character, etc., by the handwriting, but I am not one of them. Sorry. The following songs which have been requested from time to time, may be had in the shops, hence I am unable to furnish fur-nish them: Carolina Mammy. Love's Ship. Those Payj Are Over. Don't Make Me Go to Bed, Papa, And I'll Be Good. Love Me and the World is Mine, Old and Only In the Way. The Dying Nun. Dying Californian. It's Naughty but It's Nice. Johnston Flood.

Florence. Leatha. Alice and Leah. With lots of success. I remain. DAISY, Utah. (1) A stamp placed upside down on a letter, according to the stamp flirtation, means: On left corner, I love you: on right corner, Write no more. (2) Florence Flor-ence means "blooming;" Alice means "noble cheer." The rest of the names you mention have no meaning. You are welcome. soon cease trying to.

Vi) Is It a per-. per-. serial style for one to wear a brldaf veil? What kind of flowers should it be trimmed with? I remain, I TOBUEY, Idaho. I I am glad to have you feel that you are welcome, dear. (1) Loraine has no meaning; Marlon Is the French form I of Mary, which means "bltterr" Eugene, j "well born, noble;" Leonard, "strong- aa a lion." (2) I hardly know what you mean by "personal." One may or may ' not wear a veil at one's wedding. It . Is a personal matter, if that la what you mean. Orange blossoms are more used perhaps than any other flower, but lilies of the valley, bride roses that, also, is rather a personal matter. Dear Miss Brooks.
