do OF course YOU will have to be
clever in keeping up your emu Vi
the conversation
Keep your friends because. you
are interesting and they will like 10
talk to you. The girl VINO ailo"s
boys to kiss her is never popular
long. Soon the boys find some oth-
er girl they would rather kiss ana
then she is dropped.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My halr
is full of dandruff and oil. What is
the cause of this? 1t comes out ana
is very thin. This is unusual pc
cause nv hair never used to be oily
and | had no dandruff. 1t used 10
be naturally curly, but since the
oil has appeared it does not curl at
all. What can l do for it?
BROWN EYES.
Applv a small qualify of vasellne
to your scalp every night with your
finger tips. This will cause your
hair TO be even oiler for time, but
it will remove the dandruff and
when the scalp is in healthier
condition it will not be so oily. Use
the NdSelUG anu wash LhO hoAA
often. Dandruff and oil is very
often caused from nervousness or
a bad stomach.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell
me why girls 10 to 16 years of age
should not read love stories. l am
a girl of II years.
CURIOUS MOLL.
Young girls should not read love
stories, because they know nothing
of love and get sentimental no
tions of it which are not true to
life and which make the girls I'M
happy. silly and eager TO find love
Young girls have not discrimina-
ton and they are satisfied with al
most any boy who is equally senti-
mental. You can see that this is
cheapening. If little girl has in
duIged in sentimentality by the
time she is old enough to read
about love and have love, all the
romance is gone.

Dear Mrs Thompson: | am a
young widow IS years old. My hus-
band has been dead four months
and / have been invited by gentle
man friend to go TO dinner with
him and to the theatre. | would
like very much to go. but l do not
know whether it would be proper.
My mother and father live in an
other state and | am very lonely. L
work in the daytime and at night
don't have anything to do. l am
not known here because we had
only lived here a few weeks when
my husband got pneumonia and
died. What do you think l should
do? / have no children.
MRS. KATE H.
Go to dinner with the man since
you want to. II is old-fashioned to
stay in mourning a long time. Peo-
pie are beginning to think that a
bereaved person shows more cour-
age and character if she tries to
be cheerful and happy. To cling
TO the past is a mistake. 1t would
not help your former husband any
were very lonely. l am sure he
would rather have you happy and
enjoying yourself. My attitude is
not conventional because conven-
tions require a widow to stay in
mourning six months or a year. Of
course you should not overdo the
thing and go out too much, or peo-
pie would talk about you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am IS
and l meet fellows and get intro
duced to them and they like me
very much. But soon it is over and
they dislike me. Every boy friend
have is like that How can l keep
their friendship longer? KITTY.
You are probably too inexperi-
enced TO tell readily what will en-
terrain the boys you meet. Try to
make your friends talk aboutathem-
selves and things they have done.
Boys seem to enjoy talking about
themselves and the things they can
