to marry me when | am old enough.

DEARIE.
ID / think that by the time you
are is. my dear. you will have seen
other men you will be just as much In
love with as this one. Better not be
rash and make promises now that you
won't want to keep when you are
older and know more.
% A girl of 16 is too young to de-
eide upon any one fellow, so don't go
with any one person. Just be good
friends with all the boys you like and
don't allow any foolishness.
90 You are so young. little girl,
that you don't realize now that some
day you may regret those kisses.
The chances are 80 to 100 that you
will never marry TINS man. If he
really loves you he will not want to
bind you to any promises, or ask for
any lovers privileges. until you are
old enough to know what you are do
ing, and you should be at least II or IS
before binding yourself in an engage
ment of marriage.
ca The pimples may come from
indigestion or eatiag too much candy
and rich food. Take a lot of out
door exercise. hot bath once
week and a cool sponge bath every
morning. Take a dose of EPSON
salts as often a necessary to keep
your bowels moving freely. Drink

a year ago | had curly hair, but

| commenced curling it on the curling
iron and ruffing it around my face.
Is there any way | can restore it to

up my eyes are always swollen and
they stay that way till nearly noon.
