MARY MEPEDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS At HOME

three years ago, and have been in
love with each other since that time.
My parents won't let us go together
but that don't keep us from loving
one another. Is it proper for a boy
to come up when a girl is talking
TO another boy and try to interrupt
them? Is it proper to exchange pic
lures with your boy friend that you
love? | have a bad scar on my face;
can you give me a remedy to take it
away? Please give me advice.
A LOTT.
either one of the boys. You are
just in love with the idea of love.
/ is utterly impossible to love
two people at the same time
enough to want to marry them.
Be content to be a girl and have
a lot of fun before you settle
down to married life. There is.
l suppose, no real harm in ex-
changing pictures with a boy
though it seems rather foolish
unless you are very dear friends.
If the scar is a fresh one, rub
bing it with olive oil will help to
make it go away. But if it is
not a fresh scar. / know of moth
ing that you can DO. There is no
harm in another boy joining the.
group if all three of you are
friends.
I am a girl of sixteen coming to
you for advice. / have been going
with a boy of eighteen for a year
and a half He is a good boy and
has always treated me nicely, but
he doesn't want me to go with any
ether boys. Would you just quit him
and have other boy friends, or go
on with him? 1 have dark brown
hair and eyes and medium complex
ion and blackheads. What color is
most suitable for me to wear? What
should [ say to boy when he starts
to leave at night. How should a girl
of sixteen fix her hair when she has
full face? Should a boy hold
girls arm in the daytime?
ROBERTA.
ANSWER-You are too young
to give up all other boys just for
one. Tell this boy so, and that
you value his friendship, but
that you do not think it is right
for either of you to give up all
your friends. l am sure that he
will see your way.
Shades of pink (but not dark
harsh reds), deep golden yellow,
dull blue, and navy blue, with
soft shades of brown, should all
be becoming to you.
When the boy starts to go,
just tell him goodnight and some
pleasant little thing. Be simple

If your face is full. it is best
to draw your hair back from
your forehead, putting cit just a
little over the ears, and CLUB
bing' it in a soft knot at the
back
1t is all right for the boy to
hold your arm when going over
rough places in the road, up OR
down steps, or when getting in
or out of car or buggy.

told him the same thing. He comes
every Sunday afternoon and some
times on Saturday night. Is it prop
er to sit on the porch after the sun
is down? Is it proper to sit in the
swing with the boy? Is it all right
to go car riding on Sunday after
noon? Is it all right for the girl to
try to drive the car? When the boy
asks the girl to hug and kiss, him,
what must she say if we are en-
gagged to get married when we finish

LOVER OF BOYS.
-ANSWER--You arc much too
young to even think OF love and
marriage. Wait until you are old
enough. Don't let the boys hug
and kiss yoU-you'u regret it
when you are a year or so older.
1t is all right to sit on the porch
after shutdown. 1t is all right
to go car riding Sunday after
moons, if there are others along.
1t is all right for you to drive
the car, il he wants you to; when
lie asks you to hug and kiss him.
tell him that you do not care for
such things, and that you think
boys and girls should be good
friends only. 1t is hard to tell.
from your description, what
colors are most suitable for you.
Blues, browns, some shades OF
pink, yellow and white, should
oil be becoming. Your dresses
@hould 9e about halfway be-
