q chance to see the situation and she
can drop you, which might be pleas
anter for her than the humiliation of
being dropped.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I am a girl
sixteen years old. There is boy who
goes to my school who is little older
than I am. He wrote letters to me
for while and then he stopped, and
still like him, but he doesn't like me.
A girl friend sits in front of him and
she says, FLOWS Ruth?' He says, 'I
Just hate her and 1 want you to tell
her so.'' The girl told me what he
said. 1t hurts my feelings. I can't
keep my mind off him. There are two
other girls he likes better than he does
me. What shall do to win his lover
There is another boy a little smaller
than I am who likes me very much,
but 1 do not like him as much as the
other boy. What shall 1 do7
A WORRIED GIRL.
A boy who would make the remark
that boy did not worth your love.
Study hard, lie girl, and try your
best to forget him. There is nothing
you can do that will make him like
you and anything you try to do will
only make you all the more distaste-
full to him. A boy does not like girl
who seeks his affection.
Dear Mrs Thompson: 1 have been
writing to a girl who lives some dis
lance from here and I seldom get to
see her. 1 feel that am only wasting
her time. Please advise me what
should do. THANKS.
Don't think that your letters occupy
her time to the exclusion of others or
impair her chances. If you write
nothing to make her think your inten-
lions are serious you need not worry.
Dear Mrs Thompson: Will you pub
fish a remedy for liver spots. I have
had these for five months however
since 1 had an operation for appen-
dicftis. 1 am in perfect health and
get plenty of fresh air and exercise,
but they will not disappear. Will any
thing bleach them without injuring
the skin?
THANK YOU.
A mild bleach that will not injure
the skin is made from sixty grains
of salicylic acid and four ounces of
bay rum. 1t is applied night and morn
ing with a small bit of linen and left
to dry on. After a few days the skin
will roughen, when the application
must be discontinued and the place
touched with oxide of zinc ointment
until it heals. If the stain is still in
evidence the lotion must be used
again.
If the discoloration is not a dark
one spirits of camphor may prove
beneficial. This is applied to the dark
f1esh several times a day and at night,
and allowed to dry on. The rough
ness may be removed by oxide of zinc
ointment
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am eight
cen years old and am engaged to a
young man two years my senior We
have been engaged for two years. I
thought L loved him, but recently
met another young man in another
city and 1 know that love him. He
has been writing to me ever since 1
have been home and h ; seems to love
me very much. What would you ad-
wise me to do? If break my engage
ment 1 know it will break my friends
heart. ELEANOR.
You are too young 10 ne engaged,
because your tastes are not settled
enough to love seriously. Tell the boy
that you do not love him enough to
marry him and ask him to release YOU
from your engag ement.
Dear Mrs Thompson: 1 am 81 VEN
/ teen and have gone with a boy of
nineteen for almost nine months Sew
eFal have told me that he wasn't fit
/ to go with, but he has treated me as
well as any boy could treat girl, and
he thinks enough of me net to go with
other girls. Should 1 turn him down
when have no cause? BABE.
| To go with boy whose reputation
| is not good is a very serious matter,
/ because by doing so you sacrifice your
| own reputation. Have your father or
/ older brothers look into the matter
and decide whether or not he is the
kind of n boy you ought to have for a
| friend.
| Dear Mrs Thompson: 1 am a girl of
fifteen. L stay at home and don't go
away. 1 went to the picture show with
a fellow once. When I came home
got a scolding. Do you think that
was rfght2 GREEN Ely ES.
| Your parents were justified in repri-
handing you when you went to the
picture show with a boy against their
wishes
