think. would be suitable for me to
wear? What can I do to make my
hair grow? I have a first cousin who

want me to talk to any of the boys
near home. Do you think they are
right? 1 don't have the privileges
that my girl friends do. What can
I do to keep my parents from being
so tight? Should 1 wear my dresses
loose or tight? How long should
they be? LONELY A. E.
Answer cannot tell how you
look from a description. You can
wear all colors, although blue, brown
most becoming. Wash your hair once
every week and dry it thoroughly in
the sunshine. Rub the scalp gently
with your finger tips every night.
First cousins usually do not marry,
but third cousins frequently marry.
Perhaps you do not act in such a
manner as to make your parents feel
that you should be allowed to go
with the boys Let them know that
you are not so keen about the boys
except as good friends, and show
them that they need not hesitate to
to other girls. Wear your dresses
moderately loose. Your skirts ac-
cording to the present style should
reach at least to your shoe tops.

met a boy at brothers and he
talked to me and asked me to write to
him. 1 would not for 1 thought ne
,! ought to do the first writing. He
went to the army and l saw him in
town Saturday afternoon. He would
look at me and smile and wink at
me. l would not wink, for he is a
grass-widower. 1 don't think it nice
in girls to wink at boys. How long
should I wear my dresses?
BLUE EYES.
Answer-You are much too heavy
for your height, and should take
SYSTEMATIC exercise to reduce your
have boy friends. Perhaps your par
| ents do not realize that you are grow
! ing up. Ask them pleasantly to
| please let you have company occa-
sionally as you are nearly eighteen
now, and I think they will consent. l
think the boy could write first if he is
particularly anxious to correspond
with you. I would not wink at the
boys. Your dresses should reach
just below your shoe tops.
