one would fit the little girl next door
very well and it is still In good con-
dition. Do you think it would insult
the child's mother II offered the coat
to her? She is very proud and do
not want to hurt her feelings.
DOUBTFUL.
If you are tactful there is little dan
ger of your hurting the mothers feel
ings. Tell her you have the good coat
which your own little girl has out
grown and ask her If she thinks 1t is
anything that she would want for her
child. If she is hurt it will be from
false pride.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am IS years
of age and am q senior at school.
+ "a There is q soldier in France
who has, unknown to me, received my
address and has been writing to me.
Would it be proper for me to answer
his letters? He is a stranger to me.
(2) When going out riding with a
boy friend in a Ford machine, is 1t
proper for the girl or boy to get in
first as the door opens only on one
side?
|, go When boy comes to visit or
court" a girl what should the girl
say when she opens the door for him?
"a Is it proper for a girl to drive a
machine when the boy asks her to:
DIMPLES.
% II he had told who gave him
vour address n would have served as
an introduction, but since he did not
tell you / would not advise you to
answer his letters. .
co The boy should help the girl
into the machine before he gets in
himself, but if he is thoughtless and
gets in first for convenience she
should not feel badly or neglected.
60 Good evening" Then she can
talk about anything she wants to
how cold it is, how warm 1t is. etc.
t4 The girl should not drive the
machine if it belongs to the boys IA
Their, but if it belongs to the boy him
self it is all right because it is at his
own risk.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: o. Is pure
vaseline good to put on the head to
restore hair? / have SO much dan
druff ON my head, and my hair is all
falling out. What causes dandruff
ca Please give me cure for dan
druff
90 Does it max, the hair grow
thicker and faster to have the old hair
clipped close to the scalp?
A WORRIED BLONDE.
% Vaseline is good to put on the
scalp to restore hair and to cure dan
druff. Dandruff is caused by poor
circulation and sometimes. a lack OF
oil. Many kinds of dandruff are COM
municated and so there is danger in
using the same brush and comb.
(2) One dram boracic acid, two and
one-half ounces lavender water. Mix
and massage into the scalp every
other night.
(3) Yes, it makes the hair grow a
little thicker and faster to clip the old
hair, but it is not worth the trouble
and embarrassment it causes. To use
the above hair tonic every night for a
while and to massage the scalp gently
but thoroughly every night will bring
about healthy scalp condition and
will be far more agreeable than to go
around with short hair. Do not worry
so about the condition Of your scalp
worry is one thing that keeps it in
bad condition.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Some time
ago you published a recipe in your
column for blackheads in the face,
/ would like to try it and would ap-
preciate it very much If you would
publish it once more.
| A CONSTANT READER.
To,cure blackheads made an oint-
ment of one ounce of soap liniment
and one ounce of ether; mix. At night
scrub the face thoroughly with hot
water, using complexion or other
soft brush. After wiping, apply the
mixture to each of the spots and lei
it remains on over night. Wash off in
the morning with hot water. Con-
tinue until the spots have disap'
peared. Then twice week wash the
face with the mixture, removing the
liquid at once by rinsing with clear
water. If there are large pores, wipe
over each with little alcohol.
