Answer. You are entirely too
young to have sweethearts, and 1t is
very sensible of you to know it. Do
not kiss the boys. They will think
lightly of you if you do. 1 believe

from strange boys. Wear your hair
in curls with a pretty ribbon bow.
Your dresses should be just below
your knees.

seem vain in calling yourself very
pretty, and if you are not careful

of late callers. It is wrong to kiss
the boys.

girl except me. He has asked me not
to go with other boys, although I go
with them anyway. Is it wrong for
me to go with them or not? Please
advise me what to do. We are not
engaged. TROUBLED GIRL.
Answer-Both of you ought to go
with other boys and girls. That is
the wholesome thing to do at sixteen,
for at that age you cannot know that
love that attracts you instead of the
person, and if you do not realize this,
later you will miss much of the
beauty and happiness in life.

and how should they be made? Do
you think am old enough to go with
the boys? I don't. Would it be
stylish to wear flowers in my hair
to parties and suppers? What would
be the best way to entertain COM
ernoons? What should you tell a boy
if he asks for your company and you
don't go with them, but don't want
him to feel badly toward you after
wards? What would be best to give a
very dear girl friend for a birthday
present and what should I write on

Answer-There is nothing "horri-
BILE" about your description. Gir~-
ham dresses are very nice for every
day wear and are stylish, too. They
should be made very plainly. You
are not old enough yet to go with the
boys. Flowers are not usually worn
in the hair nowadays. Just by talk
ing with each other, though, YOU M
if you like, give them some light re-
freshments. Just say that you do not
go with the boys yet, but that if it.

is all right for me to go with this

All the rest of the girls do. Is it all

dresses, and what color you'd you
get? GRAY HAIRS.
Answer-It is hard to believe that
your letter is serious request for
advice, but, anyway, l will answer
your question. You are old enough
to know that a woman of your age
should not be thinking, or talking
boy. AS to the arrangement Of
your hair, you should choose some
dignified fashion that will not make
you seem silly by appearing as
though you were trying to look much
younger than you are. You know
night. If you don't you ought to.
Gray, lavender and black are most
suited for evening dress for a wom-

am coming to your for some advice.
Is it right when a boy breaks a
date with a girl for him to come
back to see her? Would it be all
f fr{add to ob drop o. him. aim? have boy
would you do about that? I don't
care to go with him when he breaks
date with me. What should a boy
give for a birthday present, and is
home from church if he asks mother
and she doesn't care? This boy
friend has asked me to marry him
and told him that I was not ready
to, marry any boy; that I was a
school girl and I wanted to finish
with me, so I told him if he could
not wait until I finished school that
was his hard luck. I asked him
did he love me. He said yes, he
did, and L told him if he did he
could wait, and he has quit going
with me. Would you try to win him
back or let him go? Am I too young
to go with the boys and to have
dates also? BLUE EYES
Answer. If the boy has some rea-
sonable excuse for his discourtesy
in breaking the engagement, it
should be pleasantly accepted and
should decline to make other en-
gagements with him. Simple and in
expensive gifts are acceptable 1t
is all right for him to go home from
church with you. You are right to
tell him that you are not yet ready
to marry, and it is very sensible of
you to want to finish your education.
