I am a girl of IS coming to you
with boys, just as friends? Is there
any harm in going to dances and
one-stepping with the boys? Is there
any harm in a boy kissing your
hand when he tells you good night I?
Is 1T wrong for boy and girl to
eat cream out of the same saucer :?
What should you tell a boy when
he makes a date and then not come?
1 have light hair, blue eyes and fair
complexion, 5 feet in height How
should I fix my hair and how long
should I wear my dresses? Is 1t
all right to have pictures made with
boys? Is there any harm in a boy
putting girls ring on with a wish?
BUTTERFLY G.. C.
ANSWER: You are not too
young for boy-friends, and there
is no harm in going to parties,
and in dancing with boys. There
is no particular harm in a boy
kissing your hand, when he says
good night, but 1t is rather fool
ish as that custom is a thing Of
the past; and I would be care
full about granting little privi-
kind.
1t is not wrong for boy and
girl to eat ice cream from the
same dish, but it is in poor
taste. If the boy hasn't q very
good excuse for failing to keep
the engagement, would not
give him another. It is all
right to have SNAPSHOT pictures
taken with boys.
Your dresses should be half
way between the knee and ankle
or longer, according to your
height, weight, etc.
There is no harm" in per-
hitting a boy to put your ring
on with wish.
How much should a girl weigh at
feet inches tall?
I have blue eyes, brown hair, fair
complexion. What color will suit
me best?
What will make my hair grow
and thtcken?
What will keep my skin white
when working in the field?
Can you tell me some real good
face powder and cold cream?
When a boy just says: "When
are you going to let me come
again?" What would you tell him?
BLUE-EYES.
ANSWER: About 100. A
great deal depends on the age.
Any colors save dark brown,
black, purple and red should be
becoming to you. A good hair
tonic, massaged into your saclp
every night, will help your hair.
1 will be glad to send you the
name of one If you will send
me stamped, addressed en-
velope for a personal reply and
will also be glad to answer
your other beauty questions
at the same time.
Just say, when would you
like to come AGAIN." And then
set a date that Is convenient
for both of you.

boy of Is. but he seems to not like
me, like he used to; of course, he
seems very friendly to me, but not

age wear silk stockings, or high
heeled shoes? Please answer all my
questions.

the boy friend is that he is

ANSWER: A girl fifteen is
old enough for boy-friends, pro-

dealing with them. You are
old enough to help your sister

no harm in your corresponding

N. f. A. Special to The Evening Journal
BERLIN, Jan. 6.-The ease with which
a new leader of the people comes to the
front and the qulckness with which one
may drop from sight is shown in the
career Of VIII Heise.
Heise was submarine man. He was
in Hamburg when a gathering Of citi-
zens was being harangued by would-be
reformers. He didn't like the talk and
climbed to the platform and addressed
the crowd:
"You don't know what Won want.
You are listening to professional dema-
gogues and tub-thumpers. | will tell
you what you want You should elect
one of yourselves to lead you"
Heise had the crowd with him.
You've elected yourself" " they roared
at him.
Thereupen Heise established himself
In government Offices, set up the lnde-
pendent Republic of the Lower Elbe
and kept order with a fleet Of armored
motor cars.
The Republic. of the Lower Elbe was
