What TO DO
by CYNTHIA
Stands up for gx.Top Kick

S'dHuo W TOT GN- Top NICK
Dear Cynthia-why, oh, why, the
battle royal? Like the Kilkenny
cats, the EN Top Kick is after the b.
2. and the quartermaster sergeant after
the "Ex Top" To hear them wrangle
one would think their very lives de-
pended on this "kissing game" Listen.
boys, just take il from one who loves
every boy who wore a eniform, yes,
even an "Ex Top Kick" That little
old game can get you in more trouble
and expense than any poker or crap
game you ever played, and to quit when
started is more difficult than any
barhed wire ENHANCEMENT you ever tried
to get through.
III have 10 admit to quartermaster
sergeant that "Ex Top Kicks" are not
always kissabley but then he must re
member that their loving dispositions
have been ruined by Il. P.'s aud quar-
termaster sergeants and others"
But why continue the war?
u the Il. p. wants kisses paid for on
delivery the quartermaster sergeant
wants them gratis, and the FIX Top
Kick doesn't want any. I'm sure the
general public doesn't care unless they
are only advertising, and I feel quite
sure Cynthia is not running an adver-
tising column. so what's the use?

years of age and she is ouly in the
neighborhood of eighteen. I fully rea
lie my love for this young lady and
would ask her to marry me but ] have
always been against early marriages and
think she Is little too young yet to
know her own mind.
Now, Cynthia, you have been so good
to others maybe you could help me to
bring her to a realization Of the more
serious things in this life and stop run
ming around four and five nights a week
to dances. NJ. ]. w.
Do not be hard on a young girl be-
cause she loves to dance. Dance with
her and go with her as much as you
can. Tell her how you care for her; she
might be glad of the knowledge and
learn to love you in time.
do not advise an engagement, as she
is pretty young, but an understanding,
leaving both free to go with others un-
til you can be engaged, would be IL
good steadicr.
Above all things, do not preach; a
girl who loves to dance is generally full
of fun and bright spirits. Do not see
harm or look for it where it does not
exist

They Flirt With Her

Dear Cynthin--As I often read your
wise column and find it helpful, | am
coming to you to ask about an annoy
ing problem. Something has been trou .
bling me so very much lately.
l am girl still in high school. !
am not a bit pretty. although l have
curly, light. bobbed hair. Why, when
| go out on the street. do men and
boys wink at me, or smile and try to
be too friendly?
Men in trolleys and trains often act
the same way. and it often embarrasses
mo very much IL some tough man flirts
with me whom ] nm with friend.
Cynthia, really can't understand
it. Now. IL l were pretty. or painted
doll, or flirt. could, but r>am not
tirty. / do not use rouge or excess
powder and / feel that my manner in
no way encourages such actions. | have
tried to stop this by ignoring their re-
marks, but they only laugh and make
silly remarks about being mad, etc.
What shall | do TO stop this? It is
most humiliating to me. BOBBIE.
You will find If you entirely ignore
the winks and smiles that they will very
soon stop.
No young girl who utterly ignores i'm
pertinence and the loud remark meant
TO attract her attention will be troubled
more than once IL she shows by her
behavior that she is a lady.

how to get my hair TO its natural color
again? used the peroxide just. once.
EAGER.
IL you wait long enough your hair
will probably become dark again. Hair
that has been touched up with peroxide
always has to be retouched again and
again, you know, and II you fail to do
the retouchiug the hair will gradually
get back to It's natural color. OF course,
this, will take some time, for IL has to
grow out from the roots, which are still
the same color. Perhaps if you consult
hairdresser she can tell you Of some
way to hasten this. Would IL be mean
of me to remind you that you ''let your
self in for this" and win just have to

you know Of anything that will keep it
light? II. Z.
Putting lemon juice in the rinsing
water when you shampoo your hair will
keep it light, but be careful about using
this If your hair is very dry, for it Is
apt to cause dryness. II you could take
course of treatment at hair
dresser's that would be the best thing to
do, for when your hair begins to get
dark that is sign that it needs profes-
sional attention. Rub your scalp with
liquid vaselinc about three times week
to keep your hair from falling out any
more.
