Is He Too Young? bear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I would like to .have advice from you. I am a girl of 2S "and I am keeping company with a boy 21 years of age. Some people told me that I should not go with him, as he is younger, but I can't let him go. I love him too much. v This same young man has gone with a girl before he knew me. ?'e took her to a dance once and w'n . i they got there she spent the evening with another man, and when the time came to go home she came to this man to Uke her home and he told her that he wouldn't do it. But she Insisted upon his taking her home, as he rought her there. Was it right that he too, her home? i myself would think that he had no right to take her home when she soent the evening with another man. Can a person wear mourning for a soldier boy when he dies or is killed? Some people told me' that lt must not be done when he lays down his life for his country. I don't see why. I am sure I could not stand it Can a girl kiss a soldier goodby when he leaves her and goes to France? ANXIOUS. There is no reason why you may not "keep company" with the young man, even though he is slightly I younger than you. If you are seri ously considering marrying him I ! should advise you to wait a few j months, at least. You may not con I tinue to care for a man two years I younger than yourself or he for you, tnougn mere nave Deen many cases of happy marriages between women and younger men. Walt and be sure. If the young man took the girl to the dance it was only right for him to see her home. Her rudeness gave him no right to be rude, also. He should have taken her home and then avoided her In the future. There Is no reason why one can not wear mourning for a soldier, but good taste and patriotism dictate against lt To my mind mourning is always in bad taste, and especially so when the beloved one has given his life for his country. It seems to me selfish to force our sorrows on our friends in this manner. Such sorrows are sacred and better kept within the heart than displayed -vith ostentation. If you are engaged to the soldier, certainly you may kiss him, but not If he is a mere friend or acquaintance. DECORATE WAR BUILDING - Vi, 0 V NV i n i .-t 0$ ,'"4..

One of the results of the cam paign for gift books last spring by the American Library association was an influx of reading material of the type which careful mothers take pains to remove from the environ ment of 16-year-old daughters. That the gift horse had to be in spected carefully was demonstrated a number of times. To one camp library came copies of Zola's "L'Assommoir." Daudet's "Sapho," and De Maupassant's "Bel-Ami." From the readme room in a church were sent copies of Snappy Stories. An offer of a file of the Under taker's Review was graciously - re jected. School readers antedating the civil war were received.

Undaunted by chilly winds the two artists, Miss Helen Eastman and Miss Bernice Branson of Lin coln, began work Thursday on the posters which will decorate the United War Workers' building on the court house lawn. Miss Bran son rapidly sketched the outlines of her picture, "Carry On," showing seven soldiers rushing to the front, and below them three Young Men's Christian association workers with outstretched arms, supporting the work of the men in the trenches. Miss Helen Eastman, a charming picture herself, in a smart fur coat and velvet toque, is busily working on her production, "We're with You, Boys, Lead On." This poster, which will be almost life size, shows a soldier equipped for action, with a lovely young woman at his side, ready to do her part. The work will proceed every day, the weather permitting, until the designs are completed. worrying about If he had been he would have frankly told you If he had found another girl he preferred. You are young yet and will probably meet many better men, and I hope you will get a much better husband. Be thankful this one proved untrue to you before marriage Instead of afterward. As for the presents, I should keep them unless he asked for their return. Writing to Engaged Man. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: I have a very dear friend in the service, who, however, is engaged to another girl. Would lt be proper for me to correspond with and re ceive gifts from him? DIMPLES. Certainly not How would you like another girl writing to and re ceiving gifts from a man to whom you were engaged? Let Him Go. Dear Miss Fairfax,. Omaha Bee: I am a girl 19 years of age and have been engaged to a young man for one and a half years. We were very fond of each other and never had a quarrel until this summer, when 1 found out that he had been keeping company with another young lady on the sly.

He was called In the- last draft and left for camp today, bo I didn't get the chance to ask him rhy he turned me down so unexpectedly. Please give me your advice. HEARTBROKEN.
