Dear Miss Grey: / am. 10 and
deeply in love with young man
who paid great deal of attention
to me for two weeks. Then l had
an engagement with him which he
broke by letter. l have met him
several times since, but he does
not speak to me. Please advise
Observation-Disclosures.
A.: Since you care SO much
write him a letter asking him II
you have offended him in any way.
If he does not do you the courtesy
of replying, advise you to drop
him, for he is not worth bothering
about. Time will heal the hurt,
and you'll find one some day that
will more than fill his place in
your affections.
Dear Miss Grey: What will
darken a child's dark hair which Is

to moisten all the hair will darken
it, but new hair will not be
changed. Dry in sun.
