Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am a girl
10 years old and | have been going
with boy for six months and like
him very much. When we are with
other people he doesn't notice me at
all. But when we are alone he is
very attentive and acts as though he
cares for me a great deal. He never
wants to go any place | do. But when
don't care to go he always wants to.
"a Why does he act that way?
" How can | make him notice me
more in society?
90 How much does it cost to use
the electric needle to remove superflu-
GUS hair?
"a What will take the sunburn out
OF my face and hands?
SNOOKUMS.
IL lie is contrary and selfish.
~ Let him go his way and you go
yours. When he notices that other
people find you interesting he will
take notice, too. As long as he thinks
his attention is all you care for he
will be reluctant to give it to you.
CD The cost of removing superflu-
Gus hair usually depends upon the ex-
tent of the job. The dermatologist
would probably charge between a dol
lar and a half and five dollars an
hour.
a. Put half pint of rich milk into
a porcelain kettle and bring to a boil.
Skim carefully, and add one-quarter of
an ounce of strained lemon juice. Re
move from the heat and pour in one
half ounce of white brandy.
Bottle when cold, and apply to the
face and arms at night with a soft
cloth, letting the mixture say on all
night. Wipe over the face and arms
again in the morning after washing.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are
three girls IA, Is and IS years old.
IL Are we too young to go out with
boys in the evening if the three of US
stay together and each of us has
boy friend?
(2) Are we too young to go to the
picture show together at night if we
are not accompanied by our boy
friends?
90 Should we give our boy friends
our pictures?
"a Are we too young to wear our
hair done up?

to a merchant at Murphey gasoline
when the latter had asked for and
thought that he had been delivered
kerosene oil. This gasoline. if it was
