From a Little Girl Friend.

EAoAh - VIII hIChus
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
am constant reader Of The Bee.
If 1t were not for your advice l
should not read The Bee at all. After
your giving advice, l thought
would come to you for some. Il
am a young girl Of 10. Am I too
small to wear skirts and waists :?
What color are they wearing this
summer? Should girls Of my age
do their hair up? Thanking you for
advice, BLUE EYES.
Dear little girl, you compliment
me greatly, but there are other sec
tons in The Bee which every girl
should read to keep her mind alive
to current events You are quite
young to wear waists and skirts, and
I suggest pretty MILDLY blouses in
stead Of one-piece dresses. Until
your figure has taken on the lines of
maturity, or semi-maturity, the
waist and skirt are stubborn and
will not cling together. Every color
imaginable is being worn this
spring. Therefore, choose those COL
ors which are most becoming to your
complexion. Wear your hair down,
braided part way and clasped with
a barrette. 1t seems 30 out Of pro-
portion for girls Of your age to wear
their hair up.
Brown-Eyed Vamp-I would not
advise girl Of IL to go out nights
with boys. If the young man you
speak Of, however, is known to your
family. and If he has good princi-
Piles, an occasional evening with him
would do no harm. Goodnight
kisses should not be considered light
ly, nor INDUCED in carelessly.
would not consider it proper for
your young friend to kiss you good
night. If you wish to retain the
beauty you say you possess, live and
act SO that the years, instead of
robbiug you of your charms, will en-
nance them. Youth will vanish, but
character will grow; look to the de-
velopment of character then, so that
your external beauty will be only an
attractive case which holds precious
jewels within.
Hope and Faith-Self confidence
is the antidote to bashfulness. 1t is
often the hardest and longest OF
battles, but take care that in curing
the one you do not lean to the other
extreme.
Bushes do not come and go at
the bidding of ones will. I can but
feel sorry for you If you have that
to contend with and yet many think
blushing a thing Of the past.
When letters are not to your Xix
Ing you have your choice Of not
answering them or of turning them
into the kind that you do like
II your guests knew that they kept
your husband from kissing you good
by, I'm sure they would leave. But
why in the world don't you want
him to kiss you when they are
there?
Rosy Cheeks-If you carry your
self well and make the best of your
good looks, others will envy you
your height. Some of those habits
and sayings are aggravating. Why,
Of course, think it proper for
girl to dance with a boy. Low heels
are so fashionable, why don't you
wear them? Thank you, but just
can't put my picture in the paper.
You do not care how I look, any
way.
Babette-White georgette, SIM
pie style, not too low in the neck,
please, would make an attractive
school banquet gown. Even less
expensive material, such as white
wolfe would do nicely. A good
etiquet book might help you, but
don't be self-conscious in following
it. When in doubt about your man
ners, watch others, use common
sense and modesty. There are
which would help your
nails and skin. / cannot name them
here, but any good beauty parlor
will recommend a cuticle remover
and an astringent for oily skin.
Jack-Perhaps your father doesn't
realize that 16-year-old girl needs
and longs for companions. Why do
you not tell him all about it. 1t may
be your fault, that by keeping all
little condolences from him, he can
not understand your longings. 1t
may be that the girls and boys who
keep asking you are not the type
