TOO LATE Dear Miss St. John: We are constant readers of your letters and so we would like you to help us with our problem. We are planning a Hallowe'en party and would like you to help us select some games to play to keep the party lively. It is a young people's party. We are hoping to see your answer soon. I thank you. Pa LIVELY. ANS.: Your letter reached me too late for Hallowe'en celebrations, Live- ly. I-can only hope that you had a very happy time at your party, and that you will write again soon. Ina St. John. "HER PHOTOGRAPH Dear Miss St. John: Do you think a large photo of my- self would be a suitable Christmas present for my boy friend overseas? Of course I will send some eats also. Hoping to see your reply very soon. OLGA ANS.: The photo would be an ideal Christmas gift if you are engaged to the soldier, Olga. Otherwise it would not be in good taste. : Ina St. John UNHAPPY AT HER WORK Dear Miss St. John: i Iam a graduate nurse. Unlike most girls I do not like the work. It de- presses me very definitely. I made a big mistake in ever train- ing, but I never was around sick people and I did not know how it would affect me. My girl friend took a _ business -course. She works in an office. I envy her so much. I love working with figures and I think taking part in business is thrilling. Do you think I am silly to think of taking a busi- ness course after all the time I spent training? Bs ANS.: It seems to me that you are a wise girl to face the fact that you are out of your element in the nurs- ing profession, R. 8S. It is easy to choose the wrong voca- tion, but to continue in it is sheer stupidity. A school teacher who cannot get along with children is a misfit. A nurse who cannot be cheerful in the sick room is a failure. Both are square pegs in round holes and the sooner they change their work the better for all concerned. Ina St. John OVERSEAS MAIL Dear Miss St. John: I have written two letters and sent a parcel to my boy friend and I never got any answer. He is in Scotland. Before he went over he asked me to wait for him. Do you think he has met some girl he likes better? If I thought that I'd stop writing, but I can't ever forget him. Please answer soon in The Mirror-- Tl sign -- WAITING. ANS.: Perhaps you will have had a letter by the time you read this, Wait- ing. If not, don't be discouraged. Many letters and parcels are lost at sea*these days. It would not be un- usual if the letters and your parcel are at the bottom of the ocean, while your soldier boy waits for mail from you. He is not likely to have forgot- ten you so soon.
