TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

years and I would like very much for
you to give me some advice.
From troubled-hearted girl.
D-HEARTED GIRL.
1 am sorry 1 have been so long
in answering your letter, I motto
am not too late to give you any
advice.
If your friend really loves you
he will not let anything come be-
tween he and you. 1t does not
some one else in the running.
Even If they are piqued, don't
eat too much humble pie. You
did what was required of you
when you wrote and asked his
forgiveness. If he ignored it, do
loves you he will call to straight
Ell things out. And should he
want to do this, let him.
AS for kissing, there is little
use of my telling you what to do.
Let your better Judgment tell you
what to do. But never let man
have too many privileges.
the readers of The Journal tell me
a cure for eczema? I have a spot
of it on my throat which burns and
initiates me very much during the
spring and summer months. It looks
very much like sunburn when ex-
posed to air.
Now another favor. Does age have
anything to do with how a married
lady wears her hair? I am twenty
seven years of age and wear my
hair puffed over the ears which is
very becoming I am told. If this
style is inappropriate for me please
suggest something that would best
1 use Beauty powder for my
complexion, but my skin seems
to rought up and looked chafed. How
can [ manage to get better results?
My skin feels smooth and never
troubles me until L use powder.
Thanks.
Ignorant-The only think 1
know to tell you to do is to go
to a good physician and let him
treat you for the eczema. I would
not risk using anything on my
face if / were you. unless by
Doctors prescription.
Age has very little to do with
fixing your hair. You can wear
your hair dressed like a girl of
eighteen if it is becoming to the
ed to suit the face and to en-
hanco it. is the aim of every
girl and woman. 1t is woman's
browning glory so take good care
to comb it SO. it will improve
your features.
Powder must irritate your
skin. Your skin is sensitive and
you must be very careful of it.
Rice powder, think, is the least
harmful OF all face powders.
Many powders contain white
lead. which ruins the skin.

Dear Madam: am coming to you
for advice. [ am eighteen and should
know what to do myself, but I like
your advice and want to know what
you would do if you were me. I
went with a boy about a year, we
were never big sweethearts, although
We seemed to be real fond of each
other, "just dear friends" He quit
going with me without any cause,
we never quarreled, got along finely
while in school together. He stopped
going with me for about two years
and went off to teach school. He is
a real nice boy, thought well of by
both old and young. Since his re-
turn here he wants to renew our
friendship. There is a boy going
with me now, a nice boy, too, and
he begs me not to let the teacher
cut him out again. He claims he
loves me better than any other girl,
and always will.
I think more Of the teacher.
Which one should I let go? [ have
lots of boy friends and several want
to go with me, but don't want me

PEGGY.
Peggy:-A girl isn't supposed
to give up her friends like that
unless she is engaged. 1t is very
selfish in a man to expect it,
unless he intends to marry the
girl giving all of her time to a
man, unless they are engaged to
marry. 1t is not quite fair to the
girl. Many times girls make
that mistake and then the boy
gets tired of coming or some
lost all of her other boy friends
on account of him. However. it
is a matter of choice with you.
Do the thing you wish and you
will be happier. But, tote
I am twenty-five years old, have
large brown eyes; f ais G nnnpds
want to ask your advice. 1 am NOT
a lonely girl. I have everything
heart couk desire. [ am in love with
a boy He and I were engaged but
| went off for a trip of about eight
months and I broke the engagement.

not him. He still loves me. I know,
but is too proud to tell me so again.
We see each other real often and
talk of happiness and Of other sub
iects. What should [ do, being 1 was
in the wrong? Would love for you
to advise me. Please answer this
in The Journal. Thank you for your
advice. 49,. PEGGIE.
Evidently you did not care for
him. or something must have
happened in a serious way to
cause you to break off your en-
gagement with the young man.
IF you are sure you are in the
wrong, and he is too proud to
ask you again, make it conven-
lent for him to call to see you,
and be woman enough to &C
knowledge you were in the
wrong. Give him another chance
TO ask YOU. But be sure first
you are right about his loving
you. or else you will embarrass
yourself.

NONPARTISAN LEAGUE ACTIVE.

The %nonpartisan league is entering
politics on a national scale and is put
ting forward a platform which is
skilfully drawn to appeal to the av-
erage voter from the standpoint of
fine sounding phrases and easy read
ing. The platform is a work of art
from a political standpoint. 1t con
dennis our general industrial system
and favors government ownership of
railroads and all other "big business"
1t appeals to the radical elements by
demanding Immediate restoration of
free speech, free press, placable as
sembly and all civil rights"-which
we already have.
1t then demands economy in gov
eminent expenditures which natur-
ally everybody favors but which seem
impossible of accomplishment under
government ownership and operation
of industry which the league seeks to
