Dear Mrs thompson I am woT-
ried about a girl friend Of mine
She and her young man friend have
quarreled. My friend is not inter
ested in anything. I can not get
her interested. 1 have tried, but
she always gets back on the subject
Of this friend.
She has been going with this fell
low for quite d while, but Of late he
has acted mean 10 her He makes
dates, but breaks them to go with
another girl. ! have tried to keep
her from having anything to DO
with him. She ought not to. But
she will make dates,
Can't you tell me of some way
that I can interest herr She must
do something or she will have =
breakdown, for she really likes this
fellow very much. Help me If you
can. TROUBLED JAChIE-
If You can keep your love for
your friend and never show dis
gust for her in her attitude. you
will be doing the greatest service
possible. Do not offer advice or eY-
en- give it unless she seeks it and
shows that she is ready TO be help
ed. Doubtless her affair with the
man has almost reached a crisis.
If she does not drop him, he viii
her, and the result will be the
same. She will have to realize
that she must live without him and
then she viii begin TO look about
for interests for herself. 1t Is the
uncertainty OF things which is
breaking her down. As soon as the
affair is over she will have peace.
When the end comes the thought
which will be most helpful to your
friend. if she can see it. is that she
must not turn her eyes backward,
/ looking at the past, because then
she Will miss the happiness that
the present and the future bring.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: / have
been keeping company with boy
over a month and he seems to
think a lot Of me. He told me one
night he did. but I have never told
him I liked him. When he tells
me he viii come to see me and does
not come. [ Just want to cry and
l have such a queer feeling. He
apologies and has such good eX-
cuses that I can hardly think he
is lying.
Can you tell what causes me tc
feel that way and what l can do to
stop it? Do you think he does Il
on purpose? A QUEER GIRL.
The boy should not break his en-
gagements with you. Of course
there are rare occasions when such
a thing is necessary, but ! should
imagine from what you say that he
is taking advantage Of your good
nature. Tell him that in the future
you do not want him to make an
engagement unless he is absolutely
sure he can keep il. If you refuse
TO tolerate such treatment, he will
like you all the better for your
stand.
Naturally you would feel hurt
when the boy for whom you care
finds it impossible TO be with you
when you are expecting him. No
one is worth keeping as a friend
who causes you TO be miserable.
See that the boy keeps his word or
drop him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson. I have a
brother-in-law in the service and
my sister IS staying at home.
Would II be all right for me 70
write TO him when my sister writes
81 he says he would like 10 have me
write? He writes only in a broth
erly way. I am fifteen.
SPECKS.
Yes, II would be all right to write
TO your brother-in-law when your
sister writes. II she objects 10
your correspondence, however, do
not write TO him,
Dear Mrs, Thompson, What viii

any good, QUESTION BOX,
Massage the scalp with crude oil
and let it remain on over night.
