How can I get acquainted with a
BOY in another town from me, l
have only seen one time. He speaks
we'll of me. What would be proper
@ say if girl is being introduced
@ me and she says, How do you DO!
What should l say? l.. haven't as
many friends as I wish to have. How
IAN I make friends, both boys and
girls. I want everybody to love me
How can L make my skin clear and
white without powder? Everybody
saws [ am pretty. What would be
nice games to play at a party.
BLUE EYES.
ANSWER: If the boy wishes
to meet you, and you know that
he speaks well of you, he must
have some friends who can in
troduce him. By all means,
wait for him to seek the intro
duction. A girl should never try
to meet a man-leaVe that for
him to do. When being introd-
uced to another girl, just say,
I'm glad to know you"
1 don't think any of us ever
have as many friends as we
would like to have-but the only
way to have friends is to be a
friend. People always like a girl
who is cheerful. good-humored,
kindly, and generous-a girl
who is quick to do the kind and
helpful thing-and a girl like
this always has plenty of
friends.
If you will be careful not to
eat foods that are too rich and
heaNy-avoid chocolate candies,
eat plenty of fresh fruit and
vegetables, and use nothing but
good, pure soap, and a good
cold cream, I think your skin
will be very pretty. Outdoor
exercise will help, too.
For games for your party, l
suggest that you write to the

am engaged to him and he says he
loves me dearer than anyone on
earth and cannot live without me.
He has been coming to see me nearly
Svery Sunday afternoon since 1 have
been going with him until a few
weeks ago and he came on Saturday
night and Sunday afternoon to see
a girl near my home and tried to
keen it a secret from me. What
must l do about 1t? Must [ break
my engagement with him or keep
going with him?
ANSWER: If this is the only
time, during your engagement
that the boy has offended, l
would forgive him. Unless you
are to be married soon, there is
no harm in either of you going
with some other friend, in a
friendly way, now and then.
Only let him understand that
you will follow stuff he goes

other boys. He has no right to

[ am a girl IA years old. I'm
coming to you for advice. will de-
scribe myself: l have dark hair and

do you think l look? Do you think
[ am large enough for my age? DO
you think | am old enough to have

dress my hair. 5 EEL FEA'
ANSWER is impossible to
say, from your description, how
you look. If you are five feet
six inches tall, and only weigh
76 pounds, you are much unoer
weight. At that height, you
should weigh at least one nun
dred and twenty-five or thirty:
Perhaps you need some sort or
a tonic. Your family physician
should prescribe good one. Eat
plenty of wholesome food-tresh
eggs, drink lots of milk, live out
doors as much as possible, and
don't take too much violent eX-
ercise. Eat starchy food-peas,
beans, corn, potatoes. fresh
bread-and so on. You will soon
build up to your proper weight.
You are old enough to have
boy friends-but not sweet
hearts.

boy to teach a girl how to drive a

to lock arms coming from church OF
theaters at night?
TWO N. c. ROSES.
ANSWER-Pm sure you real
ize that 1t is very unwise, and
very improper, for girls to go
car riding with boys with whom
they are not we'll acquainted.
The boy should write first.
No, it isn't bit nice for boys
to wink at girls.
1t is perfectly proper for a
boy to teach a girl to drive a
car.
If the roads are rough, and
you are likely to stumble, it is
perfectly proper for the boy to

GRAY HAIR.
ANSWER-I am afraid there
is no safe, reliable way to
change the color of your gray
hair. L think, if, l were you, I'd
just let it alone. Gray hair,
if properly cared for and dress
ed, is very beautiful.
Lemon juice is very good
thing to whiten the skin, and
may be safely used for either
the face or the hands. Cut a
lemon in half, wash the face and
hands in very warm water, with
a good pure soap, and rinse in
water the same temperature. Be
sure that all the soap is out of
the pores. Follow this with a
brisk dash of cold water, to
avoid enlarged pores, and then
rub the lemon brlskly over the
face and hands, massaging un-
til quite dry.

The Child Labor Problem
BY LEILA NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
TISE.R

By LEILA NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
TISER.
Today is Child Labor day. There
fore special effort is being made
throughout the United States to in
crease interest in the problem of
child labor. and to bring TO public
attention the reasons why child
labor should no longer be tolerated.
Already the nation has begun 10
reap the harvest Of consigning a
certain portion OF our national
family 10 drudgery with no hopeful
future. Already the pest OF inef-
hcient workers is upon US. Not for
the reason that child labor results
i'm "A feeble and ignoble race. nor
that the deterioration OF the laborel
will injuriously affect those very
interests TO which his physical. men

can no longer afford, for its own
good. 10 endure a policy that per-
mits men 70 be unskilled. unem-
ployabIe, glad 10 take any kind OF
job at any kind Of a wage.
True il is that many employers
still depend on a goodly percen-
tage Of child labor, and actively op-
pose any measures. whether state
or federal. which would eliminate
children from their factories or re-
strict their hours of employment or
improve their working conditions.
on the other hand. there are many
employers that have already dis
covered that a low wage is an ex-
travagances instead of economy and
therefore are really anxious TO en-
gage only eficient help.
Economic self-interest is trying
to shake of the double burden So
ciety has rlong borne First, using
goods worth much less than they
cost because of beins poorly made.
Second. supporting these inefficient
workers by means Of charity be-
cause Of their helplessness to rise

The national child labor commit

workers in your town or state. You
wilt be surprised to find how many
children are doing things you never
thought children could do, for the
census shows that children are be-
ing employed in many unsuitable
occupations, some OF which the
knowledge gained is knowledge Of
vice and crime. Then. read the
summary OF the child labor law of
