Dear Annie Laurie:
! am a young irl of sixteen, and
considered quite pretty. but I have
auburn hair. Some folks think my
hair gorgeous, while others do not
admire its color. Please advise me,
as it causes quite lot Of worry.
/ have been told that some of the
worlds greatest beauties have had
hair of the Titan shade.
VIII you please name some of
them for me, and write long story
about auburn hair to convince my
fiends of their opinion. ENID.
Nv Dear Child:
Annie Laurie is a very busy person
with a few things TO do besides writing
A treatise on auburn hair for a silly
little girl who should have something
more important to worry about. Be
sides people like or dislike red hair just
as they like or dislike cabbage or po-
tatoes. and nothing I could do or say
would affect their tastes. Surely lots
If famous women and great beauties
have had red hair. 1 think it is very
lovely. and so do lots of other people
Think Of al Those who do like it, and
forget all about those who don't, and.
II you must fret about something, fret
about whether your disposition is as
sweet as II might be
Dear G. K; The only thing ! can
suKgest for you to do is to write dig
a!fied note to your friend or his parents,
or both, asking for an explanation OF
their conduct There is probably some
Misunderstanding that can be straight
ened out But, my dear, ] wouldn take
il for granted that the young man Is IN
love with you; II he were he would
probably take the first opportunity to
tell you so.
Nv dear Brunette" OF course there
~ not the slightest improperly in d
E!rl's allowing the man she Is going 10
marry to kiss her. l should have sma
respect for a man who didu't expect to
Kiss his tiancee. But I'd think long
time before getting married at seventeen
II after thinking 1t over you md You
can't get along without the MAJ? oil your
choice. 20 ahead, but remember you are
undertaking responsibilities that are
cry heavy for such young shoulders
Why Is il that the minute a man Is
halfway decent to a girl and pays her
rome little attention she talks il for
granted that he belongs to her and re
gents lis even looking at other girls ;
4 girl has no possible right to expect
mans entire devotion unless she is
definitely engaged 10 marry him.
Perhaps. Blonde. some such posses
sive attitude on your part Is responsible
for your friends actions. You mignt
ask him is there is any reason for his
being angry with you, but | shouldn't
talk abe u winning back his affections
unless he has told you in so many words
that he cares for You.
Men naturally make pretty speeches
and pay little attentions to the girls
around The office, and II doesn't mean a
thing II a man so much as likes
girl, TSa'Iy. he will want to 90 TO her
home and meat her people, also to take
her to rlaces. and won't confine his at
tentions to being filppant to her around
the office. And most certainly II any
friendship exists between you and any
man. your mother should know about II.
Dear J. NJ:
] read every word of your letter
with interest and sympathy. and found
nothing foolish about IL. You voice
the cry Of dozens of girls and women.
Every normal woman wants a home of
her own, and every normal woman
wants man to share 1t with her. But
