Dear Mrs. Thompson: % We are
two sisters, 20 and 81 years of age.
We have noticed that you say girl
should not have a steady. but should
have several boy friends unless she is
engaged to one. Some people do not
think well of girls who have more than
one fellow at a time. Why is this?
~ If a girl has more than one fell
low she soon finds she hasn't any and
has no chance of going anywhere. Do
you think this is right?
81 The sister of 81 has been going
with a boy for two and a half years.
He is 81 years old. Do you think him
too old for her?
"a VIII you please give me a good
lotion for the face. What causes it to
become red and irritated? | can use
only one kind of powder.
50 We live on the farm and of
course are liable to tan easily. Can
you suggest something to prevent it
something harmless but good?
90 Are we too old to wear MILDLY
blouses when a crowd goes picnicking
for a day?
BROWN-EYED SISTERS.
% The idea that a girl should have
only one boy friend is fashioned.
Such people expect the girl to be in
love with each boy she goes with and
cannot understand how she can like
him merely as friend. l think the
friendship between boys and girls is
good thing.
~ Your reasoning sounds wrong.
If a girl has more than one boy friend
she surely has all the more chances of
going places. There is no reason why
she should lose her friends unless she
does something to make them tire of
her.
90 Not now. A girl in her twenties
is old enough to go with men consid
erably older than herself VIII lie girl
in her teens is not
"a The skin usually becomes red
and irritated because it is dry and
chaps easily. Buttermilk is a very
good skin food and will remedy the
trouble.
80 ButtermiIk is also good as a
bleach. If you keep your faces well
covered with a sun hat when you are
out Of doors and apply buttermilk once
a day you ought not to be troubled
with tan.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A short time
ago | went to a picnic with a girl
friend of mine and while there l met
man who is my ideal-my ideals be-
cause we enjoy the same things-read
the same books and apparently have
the same ideals He seemed to like me
as well as | liked him, but when ne
left he said nothing about meeting me
again. He lives in another city and
was here on his vacation. | can find
out where he lives and write to him If
it would be all right. Don't you think,
since he is my ideal, that it would be
all right for me to try to meet him
again? HARRIET ANN.
Wait for the man to show his inter
est in you. If you are his ideal, he
will And if you are not, you certainly
never would be after making such an
advance.
Dear Mrs Thompson: ID When is
it time to remove your hat at vaude-
vile show-when the orchestra begins

NJ. A. T.
Cd Any time before the performance
begins is all right.
81 Don't give him anything unless
you are engaged; in that case give him
a book. cuff links, stick pin or some
thing like that.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l went to
picnic with a man I had met before,
but ii was the first time we had ever
gone anywhere together. Another man
in the crowd asked a friend Of mine If
we were engaged, and she told me
about it. Do you think | should feel
inSulted? NELL.
You must have been too familiar or
you would not have given that i'm
preston. Don't feel insulted; your
friend probably did not mean it as an
insult.
