Dear Mrs. Thompson: % I am a
girl of 16. Why is it that boys like
me when they first know me, but after
they know we awhile they do not care
about me? AS am not hold or loud,

~ If a boy speaks to girl be
cause he thinks he has to. should the
girl continue speaking 10 him.
80 Is it all right Tor girls to call
up boys on the phone?
BABE.
ID There are various reasons why
boys may like you at first and not after
they know you. You may run after
them and show too much interest in
them, you may be silly or tiresome
because you haven't anything inter
esting to talk about; and again you
may lose out because you spoon
with them.
Sometimes, however. girls cannst
keep boy friends because they have
not gripping personalities I once
knew girl VINO was very beautiful
SO beautiful that almost every boy
who met her was fascinated and could

interest in her company and drop her.
The girl was fine girl in every way,
but unfortunately her personality was
not as attractive as her looks and boys

think the girl ought to do her part to
be courteous.

The Seniors Side.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
A general misunderstanding pre-
walls among the citizens Of Keokuk as
regards the conduct of the seniors en-
gagged in the fracas occurring Feb 10.
on the evenin,; of Miss Dunlap's junior
party. These are the facts: The
Juniors were not tiled together behinC

city" They were led separately, were
not tied to the machine. and were at
no time forced out of walk Their
cords were held by boys leaning over
the machine, which was driven about
two miles an hour on low gear. for
a distance of two blocks on Main
street. They were positively in no
danger at any tibe.
Again, their clothes were not soil
ed. let alone .'tattered." Our proof?
Ask any of the juniors implicated.
They were not tied in fancy dress
costumes" They wore overcoats. and
the night was warm and balmy. AT
no time were they in any discomfort.
The juniors will bear Us out in this
statement. When the boys were tieo,
they were given to understand that
they would be released in short
while. We had no intention of leav-
ing them JlSQ iii HiSHt- again. HoL
even ORE of the junior boys was taken
out of the city, every boy being pres.

where fer various reasons they stayed
some considerable time.

that there were two separate crowds

might be termed underhandad or dis

USE COCCANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR

If vou want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain nulsified
cocoariut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseiess), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
sFar1pooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten yorr hair with
water and rub il in. One or two tea
spoonfuis will make an abundance OF
rich, creamy 1ather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly The lather
rinses oft easily, and removes every
PARTICLE of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it flne and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage. :,
You can get n1uisifed cocoanut OIL
at most any drug store. 1t IS very
cheap. and few ounces is enough 10
