Advice for "NearIy Twenty"

Dear Cynthia-I quite agree with you
NEARLY Twenty" when you say that it
is very embarrassing for you to go see
these young ladies. since they have
taken the stand that you think more Of
them than ordinary friends.
Since you have asked for advice.
will tell you what to do. and see If you
don't succeed. Go to these young ladies',
and in sweet. but manly way tell them
that you have enjoyed their company
immensely. and that although you can :
not find the time to go Nout when you
always want to, that when you have
the time you would still like to come
down and take them out. But that II
they want to keep steady company with
man, or when they become engaged
to be married. you will stay away, but
that you are just Conesome) and wher
you have the (spare) time you would
desire their company very much it there
is nothing to prevent seeing them. Con
tinue going to see them occasionally ant
see how they change. Any girl, who
ever she may b.. will never think o.
matrimony or love when man talks
like this to her.
Here's hoping that you will win out
and let. us lnow how you make out
Won't you?

place Of the cold cream before you put
on the powder? The zinc ointment
treatment that I have recommended so
many times might help you, too. Apply
a thick coating Of zinc ointment before
you 90 to bed, and let IL remain on your
face overnight. This helps to reduce
the skin and make the pores smaller.
If you are eating rich food that may be
the cause of this condition. Plenty Of
fresh air, plenty Of sleep and plenty Of
exercise, with good, wholesome food,
will make your skin better and will take
away the puffiness under your eyes un
less that comes from some condition OF
your health. Have you asked a physi
clan about it? There may be some con
dition that you are not aware Of which
could be corrected.

that might be all right for the French
women, but no American woman would
ever think of wearing anything so dar-
ing have been very common. because
we have all been educated to the fact
that the American woman is the most
unassuming in attire. However. the
tables are turning, and those on the
other side are beginning to say the sharp
things about our women.
To be sure. the French had the mar
row skirt. but never the pipestem. as
we had it here. The narrow skirt made
by the French had either the short or
long tunic over the snug foundation,
