anything like the unmarried life.
have a friend that isn't a sweet
heart that is always teasing me
about the other boys. Do you think
that this boy likes me, as L like him
the best of all my boy friends at
present? Is it wrong to paint your
skin and eyebrows? - LITTLE
MARIE.
Answer: You can wear all colors,
blue and pink being the best suited
to your coloring. Your dresses, ae-
cording to the present style, should
reach to your ankles. 1t is always
wrong to tell an untruth, and be-
sides it is silly to pretend that you
live in the city when you do not,
because in all probability the person
to whom you tell such things knows
that they are not true. 1t is
chief charm is her freshness, and
too many kisses destroy the deli
cate reserve which every girl should
have Besides the kisses so freely
given are not valued half as much
as those withheld, and when the
boys are ready to become engaged
they will probably select someone
her caresses. 1t is not particularly
wrong to paint your face, but it is
in poor taste.

1 am sixteen and have been going
with boy seventeen for three
years. He has always treated me
nice until about month ago, then
me, and I have let him until here

thing like that Please advise us

| Answer: Your father probably
has some good reason for objecting
| to the boy that you know nothing
| of. If there is no reason, the boy
ought to be able to win your fathers
approval, and should not demand too
| great proof of your love for him. He
| ought to believe that you love him
and understand that you dislike to
seem disobedient or disrespectful to
your father. You are both young,
and a little waiting won't hurt. Why
not be content, Miss Eighteen-Year-
| Old, to let the boy go with the other
! girl a little while. If he really
| likes you he will find it out. very
| quickly, and if he does not like you
all the better by comparison with
| other girls you cannot hope to keep
his affection anyway. The quickest
way to regain his interest is to seem
not to mind about the other girl,

I am a girl ~ years old. 1 have
blue eyes, black hair and fair com
plexion. Would it be proper for me
to have boy friends to come to see
me? Would it be proper for me to
answer a boy friends letter? How
should 1 fix my hair? How long
should 1 wear my dresses? What
color should they be?
! Answer-You are entirely too
young to have callers. You may an
swer any letters that you receive in
friendly wholesome way. You
should wear your hair caught up at
the top with a bow of ribbon and
either braided or hanging loose at the
back. Your dresses should be an
inch or two below your knees Any
color will be becoming to you.
