am lonely girl of sixteen, brown
eyes, medium complexion, light
brown hair, five feet seven inches.
I like boys as friends, but there
isn't any that cares to go with me.
1 was very font of a boy, and
he went with me twice and went to
going with other girls. L try to
be as nice to them as I can. 1 don't
believe in flirting.
Please advise me what to do to
make myself more interesting to
boys, as l want to go with them.
"ANNA MARIE"
NSWER-Perhaps you are too
nice to the boys. Try to find
out the things that interest them,
and talk Of those things. Be
friendly and interested, but not
too much so; and let them do a
great deal Of the talking. ~

have a girl friend who has Sided
me twice for another boy, and now
she is trying to make up with me
again. Would you advise me to go
back to her or let her go. I'm. lik-
ing another girl different from her
altogether, but her parents object to
her keeping my company. Would
it be right for me to go with her
and them not wanting me to? Is
there any harm in boy breaking a
date with girl when he has a good
excuse? How many times should a
boy make up with a girl?
ANSWER-Unless the girl has
20 I,
ing broken the two dates with
you, L would refuse to make up.
And I'd see if 1 couldn't find out
why her parents objected to my
going with her. They must have
an excuse, and I'm sure they'd
tell you what it is, if only you'd
give them the chance. It's worth
trying, anyway. Then you can
go with the girl you like best.

though she doesn't seem to care for

her or not? What can I do to get
her to love me? She is going off

Answer. I think you should be
pleased to find girl of nine
teen whose head is filled with
something besides boys. She is
evidently very sensible young
girl who is busy with her educa-
ton and doesn't care for sweet
hearting." The only way you can
win her love is by proving your
self a real friend-and thus wor-
thy of her love. Don't try to
make love to her-avoid the
sentimental note-and be friend
ly and congenial when you are
with her. Let her understand
that you are only asking for her
friendship. Convince her of this,
and maybe love will come later.
Yes. you might write to her
while she is at school-just
friendly, "chummy" letters, and

ry, do you? I want you to advise
me. Should the boys kiss and hug
me? If boy and girl are riding in
a buggy is it proper for him to put
his arm around her, and he has

to give her ring to a boy? I gave
one to a boy and he won't give it
back. He has had it two years.

Is it nice or not for a girl to COM
plain before a boy? Please answer
my questions. Adise
LONESOME DAISY.
ANSWER-Of course you are
too young to get married. And
you are too young to know
whether you are really in love or
not. And I have said, ever since
this department opened, that it Is
wrong for girls and boys to hug
and kiss each other. No, it is
not proper or necessary for a boy
when they are in the buggy. no
matter how "scary'' the mule
may be. Indeed, it isn't wise to
give a boy your ring. Silk hose
are permissible for you. 1t is
all right to curl your hair by
rolling it up in kid curriers', but
curling tongs are likely to ruin
your hair. That's silly super
stition about chicken gfzzards.
When you have a guest, boy or
girl, give them a nice piece Of
chicken-neither the head nor
the foot. No, it is bad taste for
