am not crazy about children. l
would like my own. but l do not
think l would like the responsible
ity of bringing up the children OF
somebody else.
Would you advise me to marry
him? NORA H.
1t is difficult to become a step
mother, even under the most fav-
orable circumstances. If you loved
the man deeply and were fond of
children, you could probably be
happy in such a position. AS it is,
l would not advise you to attempt
it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am 10
years old. A very dear lady friend
of mine invited me to her house
for Sunday night tea and to meet
soldier. When 1 was there he
mentioned that he expected to visit
his sweetheart. Later he asked me
if l would go to a dance with him.
l accepted Did l do right after
he had mentioned having a girl?
He expects to be here once more
before going to France and he has
no young friends here. HELEN.
1t was all right to accept his in
vitation. There is a chance that
he is not engaged. If he expected
to be with you great deal it
would be different. Tell the friend
who introduced you about his in
vitatiOn and make sure of his re-
lationship to the girl he men
toned. 1t may be that he will ask
you to write and if such is the case
you would want to know whether
or not he is engaged. If he is en-
gagged do not write.
Dear Mrs. Thompson. I have al
ways had a good head of hair. but
recently it has been falling out in
punches. Can you tell me of a
good hair tonic? H. P. K.
The following formula is rec
commended for loss of hair or bald
ness:
Resorcin, one and one-haIf
grains; quinine, hydrachlorate,
three grains; pure vaseline, one
ounce
This is to be applied to the scaln
in small quantities every night. or
every other night, as required
Should this preparation produce
much irritation OF the scalp, an
oinment composed of 81 grains of
borax to one hundred Of vaseline

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have
been going with a young man VINO
asked me to have a girl friend over
so that he could bring over his
chum. l invited my girl friend
and she acted awful all evening
and didn't pay any attention to the
boy who was meant for her, but
had a fine time with my friend. 1
couldn't help being Jealous and
was mean to him. We quarreled
before he went home and the next
time he phOned l wouldn't let him
come over. He called up my girl
friend then and took her out. She
came over the next day and told
me about it. l don't know what 1
will do because | cannot bear to
give up this boy. l do not sleep
nights and 1 cry in the day time.
What shall 1 do? KITTY G.
You will be miserable until you
forget your jealousy. Be pleasant
to both the boy and the girl and do
not let them see any more signs
that you care about their friend
ship for each other. If the boy
sees that you are yourself again

If he does let him come and be
careful not to say anything I'M
pleasant about your girl friend.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 met
young man from school and he said
he was going to a certain dance
and asked me to go and he said he
would see me there. Do you think
he meant he would take me home?
would it be proper for me to go?
DOUBTFUL.
He said nothing that would in
dictate his intention to take you
home. Do not go to the dance.
Girls should not go unless they are
escorted by boy. If the boy
wants to see you and dance with
you he should invite you to go with
him.
