Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Do Not Kiss Boys.

Do Not Kiss Boys.
| Dear Miss Fairfax. OMAHA Bee:
have been aiding your advice to
loveiorn and think you could help me
| out. as you have others. ] am a
young girl of Is and have many boy
friends. They come to see me pretty
often without my folks knowing It,
Do you think II proper? Also, want
to know whether II Is proper for a
girl of my age to kiss fellow goodby.
For my part think 1t is not d proper
thing to do, but several Of them do not
talk to me for not doing so,--Anxious
Blue Eye.
II you have been reading this COL
umn, as you say. you should know
that do not think 1t proper for girls
to receive company without their
mothers knowledge nor to kiss their
boy friends. Silly little girls often ask
these questions. and always receive
the same reply. The time will come
when you will be very sorry for such
indiscretions. The thing for you to do
Is to acquire an entirely new set OF
friends Find some girl friends Of
your own age who have good common
sense and are too womanly to asso-
ciate with "lots Of boy friends" Get
interested in your studies and in the
things these girls are interested in and
try to grow into a good woman, with
no past on which to look back with
regret. Such silly actions assyou de-
scribe often result in things that land
girls in the Industrial school at Cen
eva and ruin their whole lives.
Dear Miss Fairfax, omah Bee:
I have debated for some time whether
l should write you or Polly-the- Shop
per, and have finally concluded you
are more interested in my sort. No,
I'm not in love. or leastways If I am
I've not despaired of winning the de-
sired; however, I know that any
honest-to-goodness man can fall more
readily in love with an attractive
looking girl than he can with the or
dinary-looking creature I am. Per-
haps you'll understand better when I
tell you that haven't lived out Of the
country long and that in my whole life
no one has ever thought was cute or
stunning, and I'm tired of not being
noticed. I'm so extremely ordinary
looking-Im not pretty, but I'm not
even homely; I'm tall, but not enough
so to be different. / might look
skinny If my face wasn't full and I
would probably look fat If my legs
and arms were anything but bone AS
it is, look neither. Hair is the only
redeeming feature, but have learned
that what somebody said about hair
being a woman's browning glory was
either said for che sake Of pure fiat
terry or was all bosh. because I'm
abundantly crowned with a mass Of
bronzy brown hair and I look any
thing but glorious, besides, there
aren't 20 hats in Omaha I can even
get on comfortably, not mentioning
how idiotic I look under most of them.
Now, Miss Fairfax. can you tell me
some shop l can go to where they will
sell me tha right things? My clothes
aren't ridiculous, but there's some
thing wrong with them--we don't
seem to fit, me and my clothes. But
I'm sure there must be way for me
to appear the way was meant to ap-
pear. II you've never been an ordi-
nary-looking girl amongst hundred
other ordinary-looking girls, and some
attractive ones, you don't know ex-
actly how feel, but I'm depending
considerably on your Imagination.
do hope you'll tell me someone who
will tell me what to wear and how.
Yours sincerely.-Eva N.
You can never be ordinary, Eva,
for you have a sense Of humor, and
that is the finest thing a woman can
own: at least 1t is the finest next to a
clear conscience. You have appealed
