Am I too young to marry?
What sort of dress should I be
married in? I am in love with two
boys. One is soldier boy in
France, and he says that he loves
me. He has asked me to marry
him. DO you think 1 should wait
for him? L have black hair and
dark brown eyes, with fair COM
pleXion. What sort of colors, suit
me best? Is it wrong for a girl
to play with a married man at a
party? Should a boy walk home
long should 1 wear my dresses?
How should l fix my hair? Is it
wrong for a boy to hold a girls
Should a girl ask a boy to stay all
night? ~ ST.,
LONELY ONE.
Answer feel sorry for some
boys in France. when their
sweethearts write as some of
my correspondents do. DO you
think it is fair to the boys who
have offered their lives for US?
They have gone away with the
shrined in their hearts-and
then some man who stayed at
home comes along, and the girl,
tired of waiting, marrieS him
and the boy in France comes
back to find his dreams shat
tered. Don't you think the least
you could do would be to wait
few more months for him?
Waiting has been hard and lone
" - but what of the months
over there, for him? DO you
think he has had a good time,
or enjoyed himself in the mud
and cold, and the unspeakable
dressed to all the girls who have
written as you have, about
waiting for the men in France:
want you all to read it, and
think, just a little, about it.
Dark blue. soft shades 11ao OF
white and yellow should be be-
If it is in a party, or crowd,
there is no harm in a girl play
ing with a married man. II
she doesn't devote too much of
her time to him.
Your dresses should be about
an inch above the ankles.
Fix your hair in some simple
manner-parted on the side, or
in the middle, drawn back from
your forehead, puffed over the
ears, and done in soft knot
at the back, should be becom-
ing. to you, though a great deal
depends on the shape of your
face.
If boy takes a girls. arm
to help her up or down steps,
or over a rough place, in the
road, it is quite all right. The.
invitation to spend the night
should come from the girls
father or mother, or brother.
I am a girl of about 16, years old
and all the boys admire me very
much because l have SO many freck,
les. How should L act when 1 don't
wedding table be decorated? There
is one BOY l care a right much for
he has dark hair, about feet tail
and has beautiful complexion. Don'1
you think he is cute? Weighs zoe
pounds. Is it right to crochet when
you beau is around, and is it right
to kiss your first cousin? [ will de-
scribe myself: L have dark hair
black eyes and freckle face. DO you
think that boys that weigh 2oe
pounds would suit me? Is 1t
right to powder your face before
boys? BLANCHE.
ANSWER-It seems to me that
you, too, are a bit conceited.
However, you will probably out
grow it as you grow older, so no
great harm will be done by it.
You are too young to know o
whether or not you are in love.
The boy you speak of must be
a magnificent specimen of man
hood-seven feet tall, and weigh
ing two hundred pounds!
The wedding table should have
oantarniaca of flOW6rS-Dr6-
ferably, low flowers, in a big,
deep bowl. Have narrow white
ribbons from the bowl to each
plate at the table, and have the
end that reaches the plate weight
ed down with a flower. That is
detailed information, please
write me again, enclosing
stamped envelope for a personal
reply. I haven't space here.
No, it isn't courteous to GRO
chet before your caller. Nor IS
it mice" to powder your nose be-
fore bows. The boy you describe
is no doubt, quite all right for
you as friend. But you are too
young for sweethearts.
I am a girl nearly 13 years OF
age, dark complexion. four feet, eight
inches in height. dark hair. black
eyes. Do YOU think I am pretty l
do not care for the bows, although
thew care lots for me- How can [ let
them know I do not care 70" them
Az I do rot won't ~ insult them. 7
wear my hair bobhed off with a bow
on top. Do you think I am too old
to wear nv hair bobbed? And how
long should I wear my dresses? l
wear them a few inches below my
knees. Is it right to powder your
