THE REE : OMAHA. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25. 1921. fk if Problems That Perplex BEATRICE Enjoy Daughter's Companions With Her '. Dear Miss Fairfax: In reply to Mother and Daughter, this truly is a problem. There arc many kinds of boys and girls ir this world. Sonic girls don't care to go with boys at 16, but these are not the kind of girls who haw- been taught always to "beware of boys." I think every little girl should be tatight to play with little boys and should grow up all the while with a knowledge of boys and their ways. In these days of parties, dances, etc., the youthful desire to mingle and be happy' can be satisfied with out girls being out alone with boys on dark nights. Just suppose, mother, that your daughter never goes with a boy un til she is 19. Then on her 19th birth day you invite a crowd of young people to your homo in honor of .her arid ori'taking leave one oi the young1 men guests, whom, from yours and your daughter's lack of com panionship with young people, you do'not know, asls to call on your daughter. Truly his manners are fine, he is ..well dresfcil and attrac tive and you consent, having no right now not to consent. He calls, he makes repeated calls, takes daughter out and daughter, eager for romance, centers her happiness on him and consents to he his wife. They are married pijd daughter has never had her, play tirtje. even though they live happy ever after. Of course, this may not be the case, but this hap pens much too often. Wouldn't ybti rather, mother, min gle and have your daughter mingle now from the time she is 16 with all the young people of her age and be learning their ways. Why, the man might not have been the right kind for your daughter; he might have even been playing with her and. ignorant as you both would be of the ways of young men of to day, you' would not know until it was .too late. Try inviting boys and girls to your home and going with your daughter to other people's homes in short, just filling the time with happiness , found in school, games, 'parties, deuces, etc., from now until she is 20. It will make you haopv, too. Too many of us are denied these hapny girlish years. .Think it over. and write your decision to Miss Fairfax, so wc may know daughter's verdict. INTERESTED., Mother and Daughter. A flood of mall has come in ad dressed to "Mother and Daughter," whose letters were prtnted more than a week ago- in these columns. We hope some of the advice contained in the letters will help other mothers and daughters who are wondering how old a srirl should be before she should be allowed to go with boys. Pear Miss Fairfax: I was so deep ly impressed with the letters from mother and daughter in the Febru ary 1 5 issue of The Omaha Bee that I just feel' like I must be one to send in my views on this subject. I certainly sympathize with this JHmg lady,"" Mother' says, "No, she shall' not .haw any boy friends until she is 19," and -.her only reason is be cause that was the., way she was raised and she believes she should bring her children up the same way. Times , have changed, mother, since you and I were girls. Now, I don't believe 16-year-old girls should run around with the boys or without them, either, for that matter, three or four eights out of the week, but I do believe that 1 6-year-old girls, if they are normal and self-respecting, should have a little libcrty'and a few pleasures. For me. I would much rather my girr.wou.Id--go out with some nice young man than to run around with a whole lot of yirls that I know. It seems to me if a girl is able to work and make her own way, and is cap able of taking care of herself while at her work, she could certainly go out occasionally with the young folks and have a good time, in an innocent way. i - , Mother, don't . teach Slaughter to deceive you. Sympathize with her, let her have her young company, let her invite them to her home, help her to select her companions and triends. help her to plail her little entertainments and she will come to you for advice and sympathy instead PAY i NO MONEY DOWN SPECIAL-PLAYER PIANO OFFER Just turn in your old piano or phonograph as first payment on new Artemis Player Piano.

I have raised two girls and we were pals. They came and told me all tliir little love affairs and we talked it over together and 1 ad vised them in these matters, and 1 don't believe either one of them ever deceived me. I always knew where they were and who they were out, with, and I always felt perfectly easy. My parents were very strict with me: they told me that I shouldn't go here and 1 must not go there, and rewret tn say that sometimes I went places when they thought I was some place; else, and I went with company that they didn't approve of. My parents did not invite my con fidence. T am glad to say that I profiled by their mistakes in the rearing of my girls and I know I raised my girls better than I was raised. I could write pages right along this line, but if I write much more, I'm afraid my letter will go in the waste basket. Yours with best wishes, MRS. E. R. B. Being Too Patient. Dear. Miss Fairfax: Four years ago 1 met a young man of my own age. During all this time I always tried to remind him that ours was nothing but a friendship. At last he has made me realize that he is deeply in 4ove with me; he naturally wants rny love in return, and has an idea that marriage is the only proof of real love and detests the idea f waiting. I have tried to impress him t,hat he owes it to himself to continue his college career. He swears he is never in the company ot, other girls, yet acquaintances are be ing taken out by him. He criticizes these girls when in my company, and yet I have been at dances when he brought these very' girls. I realize 'that as long long as we are not engaged I have no right to keep tabs on him, no more than he can keep tabs on me. but I can't un derstand his object of lying about it. At present we are not on speaking terms. ' I would like to know' what it all means his talk and then his actions. V -" J know it can't go on this way for ever, so one has got to call a halt; it's up to me. What would you advise me to do mere words no longer have any effect? ACJIRL. I gather from your letter that the young man Is really not worth while; if he treats you this way be fore ypu ore even' engaged to him, what do you think he would do when you were married? Looking Down on Marriage.; Dear Miss Fairfax: I have a sweetheart with whom I agree in every respect but one. That one is this: I like to go to theaters and restaurants. I take delight in see ing different faces. My sweetheart, although he takes me to those places, always goea unwillingly. I am inclined to believe he is merely stingy. He can't seem to under stand that if I see enough of the world outside of my own narrow cir cle I would be more than content with my own lot when the time comes to settlo down. Don't you think that if he would take me out without worrying about each expense (which I'm sure is un necessary), we would both be far happier? , COMEBACK. When you end your letter you really begin it. The moment you speak of marriage as a settling down, you show how wrong your attitude is. , Marriage is the real be ginning of your love-story and your life-story not the ending. You seem to be racing around flow with a wild feeling that you must have your good times and see all of life you can because you are going pres ently into the prison house of mar riage. It's quite the opposite. The right marriage the true marriage will open the doors of the world to you. I've an idea that stinginess isn't a factor in your fiance's atti tude. Probably ho hates the idea of your thinking that you need to lay up this sort of a treasure to make you content later with marriage. Don't you see how you look down on marriage, how you belittle it, how you feel that it is going to cut you off from all that makes the world beautiful? I'm not answering your question because you can answer it after you've faced a far more vital one: What does this marriage of mine mean to me drudgery and a humdrum existence, or beauty and fulfilment?

A close connection exists between these two cold weather and rheu matism. Every one has recognized the difference in the appearance of their water as soon as it gets cold; there is often a copious sediment of "brisk dust." Several causey may lead up to an accumulation oi uric acid in the system, which, in turn, causes bacT ache, rheumatism or gout, or creaky joints, swollen fingers, or painful joints. At all such times persons should drink copiously of hot water, say, a pint morning and night, and take "An-uric" three or four times a day. This "An-uric" (anti-uric acid) comes in tabict form and can be had at almost any drug store. It dissolves the uric acid in the sys tem and carries it outward.
