I am fifteen years old Please ad-
wise me how 1 can prevent my hair
splitting at the ends, and what can
l do to make it grow? My hair is
real dark and is curly, but splits bad
ly and does not grow. What can l do
for blaclxheads, as l am bothered with
them very much. I also have red
bumps on my face and I do not know
what causes these.
BLUE EYES.
Answer-Cut off your hair about an
inch at the ends above where it is
split, Then wash it regularly with
some good pure soap and dry it out
doors in the sunshine thoroughly. TO
cure the blaclheads wash your face
twice day thoroughly in water as
hot as you can bear it, using a pure
soap; press the little black spots
from the black heads with your fin
ger tips being careful not to bruiso
the flesh, and then rinse your face in
cold water. The bumps on your face
are probably due to indigestion or
are not accustomed to taking plenty
of exercise out doors, try that for
awhile and If they do not disappear,
consult the family physician and ask
him to give you a lotion of some
kind.
I am in love with boy and he is
in love with another girl. He lives
does not write to me. 1 love him as
[ do my own life. I will ask of you
to please tell me how to win his love.
LONELY MAYBERRY.
Answer-You have asked me some
thing which I cannot answer. There
is no way Of making a man love you.
He either does or does not care for
you. You can win his respect and
friendship, but if you know that he
is in love with another girl, there is
nothing you can do except to try to
make yourself contented.
am a girl 20 years old. I met
boy thirteen months ago, aged %.
with me regularly until one month
ago. He stopped going with me sud-
denly without any cause. There have
been different boys going with me
since the last time he came to see
me. He said that he loved me and
no other girl [ have seen him at an
entertainment once since then. He
came where I was, shook hands with
me, stayed with me until he left and
said he was coming to see me soon.
He has not been yet. Please answer
these questions: Does he love me?
What can I do to get him to go with
me? Would it be proper for me to
phone him and give him an invitation
to a party? I try to do what is right,
but L love this boy and L want your
advice. Can you suggest any way
| could get to see him soon?
Answer-Why not frankly ask him
if you have offended him in any way.
You may have unconsciously hurt his
feelings, or there may be some good
reason why he has not been able to
get to see you. [ cannot tell you
whether or not he loves you. but 1
think you yourself will soon be able
to tell. Do not seem to eager to go
with him, and perhaps then he Will
find out how much he would like to
go with you. I think that it would
be all right for you to have a party
and invite him to come just as you
invite the others. Then you will have
the opportunity to see and talk to
him, but I would not make my anX-
iety to see him too apparent. I would
treat him in Just about the same
friendly manner as the others pre-
sent.
have a girl friend that I think
a lot Of, but when 1 am out in COM
pany with her she always makes
some remark which hurts my feel
ings very much, especially when
young fellows are around. What shall
I do She is a girl of eighteen and
she ought to know better d than hnr to act
Answer-She ought to know better
than to act that way. No real friend
would wilfully hurt another's feel
ingS either in public or in private.
Perhaps she does not intend to do
so. Tell her plainly that she hurts
your feelings and ask her not to do
it. If she persists. discontinue your
friendship with her quietly and with
out anger or spite against her. Go
out with some one else.
I am a girl of 16, with light hair,
blue eyes and real fair complexion.
What colors would suit me? Am l
too young to correspond with boy
of 23, whom 1 have never seen? What
should l say when I meet my sis
ter's intended husband when I have
9Iready made his acquaintance? Am
| too young to go with boys Just as
friends? What should L say when
il be all right for me to call up
soldier when I go to town as he ask
ed me to let him know when ! came?
Why do all the boys and young men
I meet call me pet names? Would
it be nice for me to throw kiss
back when a boy throws a kiss at
me? What should I say when some
one passes a compliment on my hair
