I am a girl of IS and I want to
write to another town for a job to
some good drygoods store. 1 am an
experienced hand. and how should
write and what must I say? l want
to board at the hotel but 1 never
have boarded at one and how must
do when 1 go? And do the men and
women all eat at the same table? II
a boy asks me if he can call some
Sunday or some night, and I have al
ready told him he could what must
I tell him? If a boy asks you TO
have a drink what must you say
after drinking it? l.. R.
Answer-Just address a plainfor-
ward request to the store asking for
a position. State your qualifications
and what experience you have had;
and, if possible, send reference. II
I were you l would board in a pri-
vate family as you are rather young
to stay at a hotel In larger hotels
there are usually small tables where
one may eat, but where this is not
the case, men and women eat at the
same table, I suppose. Tell him yes,
that you will be glad to have him.
When you have finished the drink
say that you enjoyed it very much.
I am a girl fifteen years old. 1

wants one every Sunday. and l don't

| tell him that your parents do not
| approve of his coming so often, but
| that you will be glad to have him
| call occasionally. Rosewater and
glycerine serves as well as any cold
| cream, but if you prefer the cream
use Sanitol or any of the widely ad-
vertised makes of reputable firms.

| do as it depends on what the open

| you live. Some girls make money
| placing good homemade candies on

various ways. Keep your eyes open
and be always thinking about it, and

my hair? JANE.
You are much too young to go
with boys, and I would stop playing
| at sweethearts if [ were you. Yes,
you may wear silk if made up into
simple little frocks. Your hair
should be plated at the back and
caught up with a ribbon bow.

wer. How should [ do to get an ans
wer. Am I old enough to go with the
boys? How much should ] weigh?
How shall I wear my dresses and
hair? How can 1 remove blackheads?
MAY.
You are probably Just an average
nice looking girl who could improve
her looks by strict attention to the
neatness of her hair and clothes.
You are too young to have beaux, and
you seem too anxious You should not
write to the boys, and you should not
ask them to go home with you. If
they want to go they will ask you
and if they do not want to go it will
embarrass them to decline. You are
too young to go with the boys. Your
weight depends upon your height.
Your dresses should be half way to
your shoetops, and your hair should
be simply arranged about the face
and rolled into knot at the back.
Steam your face by laying over it a
towel dipped in water as hot as you
